Wild Card Weekend

[SoxFanInPdx]

Game gets cooked just in time for the Celts game

 

[loshjott]

I’m rooting for the Chiefs to lose above all else. Give Allen and Buffalo all the calls this week and next.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

NY is involved in every meaningful call, it appears.

Seems to be. Officiating is so broken. It is too complicated and the rules are neither clear nor transparent. Sometimes they need clear evidence. Sometimes they just ref from New York. What a fucking mess, but nothing will change.

 

[DJnVa]

Down 14 they run draw, short pass, short pass.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Why are you running a draw? You’re down 14

Draw on first down is something

I mean, Josh would have waited until second down

 

[54thMA]

I want the Chefs to go to Buffalo next week and wax this team.

And I hate myself for saying that, but whatever.

This team burped and farted through most of the season, the Dolphins collectively pissed down their legs and blew the division, now these bozos get two home playoff games.

I hate this team from Coach Hardo on down.

 

[Cellar-Door]

lol, no flag on that one huh?

 

[8slim]

LOL. That was PI.

 

[Ale Xander]

That’s all she wrote

Pitt suxks
Refs suck

Now it has to be significant?
F off

 

[shawnrbu]

Where’s the flag?

 

[8slim]

“Has to be a significant turn, in my opinion”.

The NFL!

 

[Dollar]

Great replays CBS.

 

[Groovenstein]

lol, no flag on that one huh?

Wrong jersey

 

[loshjott]

Great replays CBS.

Clear PI on the last replay.

 

[McBride11]

IF the Bills got a holding then WTF is that??

I want them to lose the SB by 30

(Prefer houstonnto make it though)

 

[Dollar]

Clear PI on the last replay.

Yeah the previous replays didn't even show the entire play, I figured they had just moved on.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Pretty amazing that every game that was within 2 scores in the 3rd quarter this weekend has had multiple key plays where the refs completely botched it and made a major impact.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bring on the next game, or do I even care about that one?

 

[snowmanny]

Awful no call

 

[natpastime162]

CBS throwing the rules expert under the bus

 

[Ale Xander]

Bring on the next game, or do I even care about that one?

I may care more about the Emmys and I haven’t seen most of the shows

 

[BaseballJones]

If KC goes on the road to beat Buffalo and Baltimore, and then knocks off, say, San Fran, that's a helluva run.

 

[Marciano490]

Tony starting a petition to change MLK Day to Josh Allen Day.

 

[DanoooME]

If Tampa wins you can laugh endlessly at Philly's total collapse

 

[McBride11]

Yeah the previous replays didn't even show the entire play, I figured they had just moved on.

producers were trying to hide it. Steelers getting hose and Im rooting for Buff. lol

 

[Remagellan]

The lesson of these playoffs--if you don't have an elite/near elite QB, you're going home.

 

[BaseballJones]

The lesson of these playoffs--if you don't have an elite/near elite QB, you're going home.

Is Goff near elite?

 

[cornwalls@6]

That was pretty clearly a penalty. Typical arbitrary/inconsistent officiating.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Not what I said at all.

Don’t dive into the ground to stop a QB. If he’s on the ground he doesn’t need to be dived at.

He was midair diving into the turf to hit a QB. That’s always a flag.

Jack wasn’t “diving.” You wrote that he “launched” himself earlier. Absent the rhetorical flair, tackling is not always a flag. They have discretion to call a penalty there and in my opinion they got it wrong.

 

[8slim]

Seems to be. Officiating is so broken. It is too complicated and the rules are neither clear nor transparent. Sometimes they need clear evidence. Sometimes they just ref from New York. What a fucking mess, but nothing will change.

I’ll continue to say that they should chop the rule book in half. Make all of these holding and PI penalties need to be egregious. At least then we’ll stop arguing over a tug here and a grab there.

 

[strek1]

So, will Mahomes still get the calls on the road in the playoffs? I'm thinking he will.

 

[Ale Xander]

The lesson of these playoffs--if you don't have an elite/near elite QB, you're going home.

Unless you’re in the NFC

Goff, Love, Mayfield and Purdy aren’t elite

 

[staz]

If Tampa wins you can laugh endlessly at Philly's total collapse

That result would please me to no end.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Vertically?

 

[8slim]

Jack wasn’t “diving.” You wrote that he “launched” himself earlier. Absent the rhetorical flair, tackling is not always a flag.

But he was “tackling” into the ground. Not straight ahead. And he was doing that towards a QB. Again, that’s always gonna get a flag. We see it every game.

 

[8slim]

Vertically?

Diagonally. Duh.

 

[54thMA]

I want them to lose the SB by 30

(Prefer houstonnto make it though)

If they play Houston at home in the AFCCG, they'll get every call.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Complete agreement. The sport is completely over legislated, which leads directly to all the bad officiating we see every week. I’d absolutely include roughing the passer as well.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Vertically?

“Provided that: It shall no
so long as the ball is uncat”

 

[ObstructedView]

Agree 1,000%. And in that vein, once a QB crosses the line of scrimmage they’re just another runner - no give-up slides or other special treatment.

 

[Ale Xander]

Go Tamper!

 

[103mph Screwball]

Bills D had better heal up before next weekend. Mahomes has a slight edge over Rudolph

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Success in the playoffs is equal parts QB play and being on the right side of bad officiating.

 

[Ale Xander]

Life!!!!!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Duck hook!

Romo must play golf.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Ryland?

 

[Ale Xander]

Please don’t run a draw

 

[Ale Xander]

5 yard pass inbounds m
Even worse
