2020 NFL: Wk.8 Game Thread

Between picking up that flag, the gift helmet to helmet that handed the bucs a td, and 2 DPIs on the Giants I thought were borderline calls, massively one sided whistle all game

Saying it's not a foul because it's late in the game is pretty embarrassing, whether it was or wasn't.

What the fuck? It's not a penalty because it's late in the game??? This is embarrassing propaganda from everyone in the booth.

I tuned in to watch football, and the NBA broke out.

The helmet to helmet was really bad but Bucs were driving there anyway, iirc.

"2 interceptions led to 10 points for New England"

I wish.

I think picking up the flag was correct. I thought the DPI were good calls also. The helmet-to-helmet was a bad call, but that was only half the distance. It also looked like there were some other plays that went the way of the Giants and Jones should have had like 4 or 5 interceptions.
It is what it is.
Glad Brady won and passed Brees again.

I have come to a conclusion tonight. Tom Brady is about 10 times better than Cam Newton. Still.

Eh. I like that they deferred to the guy who was standing right there watching it right in front of him, who didn't throw a flag. It was the back judge who thought he saw something.

That's good defense to me. Got there right as the ball did.

Yes, but it's still better for both parties he left.

It should have been 15 yards the other way, which would have put the ball at the Giants 32, instead 1 play later its an 8 yard td

I think it is honestly closer to like 50 or 100x better. I mean that is probably hyperbole, but watching Tom move in the pocket and throw guys open is a thing of beauty. It isn't a knock on Cam as much as acknowledgement of how great Brady is.

Levy has called them New England about a half-dozen times

On one of the DPIs the ball was like 5 yards past the endzone

This just has to end on a stupid Jones play

Yeah, but the good kind of stupid, or the bad kind? That's the question.

Of course, because it's Daniel Jones, the answer was: both.
