Re: NFL Playoffs - NFC Divisional Round

how does joe buck think there is any comparison whatsoever between the picked up flag and the reversal of the call in this game? (besides the fact that joe buck is a douche.) one was a proper application of the rules, the other was a fucking travesty of officiating. and bronto, there should be zero...

Re: The Official NFC Wildcard Games Thread

Rass's point is something that is also the general takeaway from the NFL season so far. Now that CBS has Carey and he disagrees with the calls on the field a lot, it's apparent via both him and Pereira that there is a ton of variance of how rules in the NFL are interpreted. We can call the lack of c...
