back to football discussions...

I haven't looked at the scoreboard. How did you do in Pick 'Em yesterday?

Haha not too well. Tried to go for a few upsets that backfired and picked wrong on the toss up games. Just remember who pulled in the cash last year.

I started slow then as well.

iirc it came down to the last regular season game, right? I seem to think you beat me by one game over the entirety of the full season, or at least something close to that. We'll see if you can afford a bad week or not

Showing a pic that is in line with your prior point isnt obvious

A loser is a loser be it by 1 or 50...
But yeah I pick a bit more loosely at the beginning. Gives you guys some hope and then the dream crushing at the end makes it so much more satisfying

And that's what you get for betting on the Cowboys in the last game of the year.

This is a late "Hit"



Uh-huh.

The defender takes action/reacts while the player is still on the field retracts when off the field immediately, and barely nudges the guy. Wait, that wasn't even a nudge. That was less harmless than a handshake from a preacher.

Total Bullshit call.

any hit/shove out of bounds is illegal. the defender should know this. he should have pulled up or grabbed the guy, not shoved him.

[Jmustang1968]

That was borderline not bullshit. If he was fighting for yards I doubt it gets called. But the ball carrier was obviously letting up and strolling out of bounds. The hit was unnecessary. I don't like some of the protection penalties and how inconsistently they are enforced. But that guy needs more situational awareness and resist that urge.

His feet were off the ground, but in bounds while the "touch" occurred, so the call should not have been made. The defender obviously let go as soon as the player was out of bounds. He was trying to protect his adversary. Sissy ball. Sissy call.

Flop flop flop:

This isn't me saying "IT'S RIGGED". I'm saying football kinda sucks these days (until the Bears go to the playoffs).

Man RGIII looks rusty. I guess not participating in training camp didn't do him any good. This Chip Kelly Eagles team looks fast and explosive. The Eagles and Cowboys might be the teams to beat in the NFC East.
