Bad call, but the refs were too involved in this game well before that. The NFL bugs sometimes. Very exciting though. As a Rams fan, glad to be rid of Fisher. Kroenke, you're under surveillance.

This game got better. Don't fuck it up Triplette.
Yeah I turned it on in the 3rd on my other screen for shits and giggles, and ended up watching the last half of the 4th like I was in Clockwork Orange. It turned compelling. I still think that OPI on 3rd and 10 that nullified the conversion on SF's final drive was total BS. We got one full-speed replay and I saw neither jack nor shit that justified a flag.

Ed Reed seems to have taken up photography in his retirement. That's pretty awesome. He would have looked good patrolling the secondary in Foxboro. What a player.

Really irritating that we can never make Flacco look like the shitty QB that he is.

Ravens need to think about the QB position for 2018 and beyond, Flacco is bad

Only 28 million of guaranteed money left

Both teams take a knee (well, some players -- the others locked arms). Not surprising.
More:
Jaguars owner Shad Khan linking arms with TE Marcedes Lewis and LB Telvin Smith is first time an NFL owner has participated in a protest during the National Anthem. Strong statement from Khan, who donated $1 million to President Trump.

Can't always go by donations. Most rich people donating a lot are just buying access.

Footballs ratings decline will likely increase from the terrible play of the game. So many are just unwatchable, including this one. If fantasy football interest starts waning, the NFL and the players are screwed. Trump is a side show.

Ratings are also generally down with pretty much everything based on the way people consume television now. I guess news is an exception.

Sure, but live sports can’t be consumed while binging on Netflix or OnDemand.

Has anybody heard anything on the turf issues? WWL was alluding to some major issues?

"Concerned about the new playing surface at Gillette Stadium, the NFLPA has asked the New England Patriots to repair what it believes to be a field that poses an injury risk to players, according to NFLPA assistant executive director George Atallah.
...
The NFLPA recently sent its field inspector to Gillette Stadium to inspect the new playing surface, and found the field "borderline actionable.""

Michael Bradley played on it yesterday and said the surface was "terrible"
