NFL Playoffs - Conference Championships

Some strange play calls by Payton during that last drive left a lot of time on the clock for the Rams. But... yeah, that PI non-call...

And, then there's this that made me LOL.

Even when they don’t call it? It was clearly pi, but I don’t think I want refs to go back and review all close calls. Even though this wasn’t close and the officials fucked up badly.

If a coach has two reviews why not let them challenge it. I’m not proposing unlimited reviews

Post by **brian** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 6:32 pm

Though I guess it was last two minutes? It’s too big a call to not allow it to be reviewed. It’s bigger than a score sometimes.

Ah. Ok I could get behind that. Of course, that was in last two minutes so that weirds stuff up too.

Whoa. First Jimmy Buffett and then Melissa Etheridge. The NFL is certainly on the cutting edge of pop culture with their anthem singers.

Tom Brady didn’t remove his headwear. So disrespectful!

Holding out hope the Chiefs win tonight so that I can just enjoy the Super Bowl without rooting for the building to collapse on one team.

This.

Nah, man. It's like I said upthread. And I bet Kermit brings it home to Miss Piggy.

Welp. The Patriots are going to win the fucking Super Bowl, AGAIN.

I actually think the Rams can compete, since they have the kind of DL talent that can bother Brady. The Chiefs obviously do not.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 7:44 pm

Chiefs dl has been decent in games I’ve seen.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 7:45 pm

So, the Pats had like 3:08 to start the drive. Are they content with taking this to halftime or something? Is it because of the weather?

Shit, at least 3 points more is crucial here.

Edit:

Clearly I should have expected a screen play to gain 30 yards to happen there. Ok.

Joe K · Post by **Joe K** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 7:49 pm

The Pats scoring on this drive after the Chiefs took that timeout before the 3rd down play was so damn predictable. And just once, I’d like to see a team actually cover James White on screens and checkdowns.

The Rams definitely have a shot. Especially if the officials let their defensive backs play physically. They don’t have the talent of the 2015 Broncos but Wade Phillips has obviously had past success game planning against New England.

Just wanted to say PI and personal fouls are reviewable in the CFL.

NFL is amateur hour.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 8:13 pm

Maybe not the most precise when Johnny manziel is employed in your league.

Nice.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 8:57 pm

Well, fuck.

Edit:

That is probably a serious fucking turning point that leads to a touchdown in this ensuing drive.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:04 pm

Oh my fucking Christ

Why cant you advance a muffed punt? What kind rules are these?

I just switched on the game....that's some grade-a bullshit right there...

I'm sure if Canada's national identity was wrapped up in a sport the rules and officiating would be perfect.

Ball was lying on the ground you guys.

That roughing call was awful.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:20 pm

Not a penalty

Post by **brian** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:21 pm

My decision to not watch hardly any NFL this year being validated by this piss-poor officiating.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:22 pm

Wow. Finally got one.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:32 pm

I think the refs actually got both those reviews right. But not the roughing.

Who do you think will win the two games?
