Honestly this postseason hasn't been interesting for me I was rooting for the jags just cause I strongly dislike Brady but that is honestly the only game I watched besides the rams and falcons since I live in LA

I am just tired of watching the same team. It's beyond old. I am part of the dwindling numbers game....

The NFC had 5 new teams and the AFC had 3.....I am just upset at how bad the officiating has been all postseason it is hard to watch a game with how bad it is especially in any Pats game last night it was like 100 penalty yards on Jax but only 10 on Pats the refs literally handed them a TD drive sad to watch

Oh, I agree. I did watch most of the playoff games, I meant the SB...which is what this thread was about.

They need to hold referees accountable for their horrible play calling. Pay them more, or fire them and hire someone else. It seems that every year lately there is a major game changing questionable penalty. I just don't remember it being this bad before. It's gotten so consistent I'm waiting for the ref to make a call that will change the tide of the game, and I honestly shouldn't have to expect that every year.

I'm on the SB boycott. I'm sick and tired of watching the NFL paid

refs ensure the Pats have an edge in every game they play. 

If they don't stop the blatant favoritism bias for the Pats

then I will stop watching the NFL altogether. Tired of watching

sketchy football.

As much as I agree, I think this shows he is still a bit immature to feel the need to make this public. 

 

Agreed. This is exactly why Pagano kept referring to him as a 20-year old. 

 

His skills did not keep him out of the lineup. His immaturity did.

Worst collection of fans at a sporting event ever? 

 

Wouldn't want to be a Minneapolis resident that week. 

For sure. I just cant stand the NFL this year and last. I'm seriously considering cancelling my Superbowl party that has been going on every year for 10 years.

I couldn't ask for a worse Superbowl. I hate the Pats and the Eagles. 

    I’m with you. I was afraid this might happen: two teams I dislike in the SB. THESE two teams, specifically. But what can you do except not watch? 

    After the USA Today article about Eagles fans throwing beer cans at Vikings fans and at their buses, I can’t bring myself to root for them, as much as I dislike NE.     Every fan base has their “*s” but certain fan bases approve of and justify some pretty obnoxious behavior, Philadelphia and New England being prime examples.

   So, here’s my perspective: If NE wins, I’ll stop hearing the Eagles chatter and if Philly wins, no ring for TB. A win-win, I guess.

yea the officiating in the two games at gillette stadium this playoffs was beyond questionable, definitely makes it hard to watch. Ill tune in hoping the Eagles will pull off a miracle, but once the Pats take control (which they likely will) ill turn it off. Its just sad that the refs control the game in so many ways nowadays whether they are paid to do so or not. (i fully believe they are).

By eliminating much of the rule book, you eliminate much of the reffing. Let them play. This is the NFL, you know what you're getting into.

Here's a drinking game: Take a shot every time you hear "Dilly dilly."

Hint: You'll hear it a lot.

Man, you guys aren't giving the eagles much respect.  The Eagles, not the patriots, were the most impressive team over the weekend.   Not saying the will win, but they have a decent shot.

If they play like they did last night they can win they just can't forget how to play defense like Jacksonville did foles is better then bortles lol

Isn't anyone going to watch the game simply to see how Josh McDaniel does?!?

 

You know....  our new head coach?

 

Doesn't anyone want to see McDaniel perform?  Anyone?    Anyone at all?

 

Hello?   Is this thing working?      :peek:

He won't have the same success here unless he brings the referees 

with him next year.

The only bad call I rember against the jags was the 1st half interference against Bouye. Not sure why people are crying about the refs.

 

I would suggest it is the non-calls that weren't given. The Pats were down most of the game and only got one penalty?

 

Ultimately the Jags let themselves down with stupid plays that gave up massive yards.

This is sad, but so true. it was so odd that before the flags started flying near the end of the first half I was reading the comments of the fans and they were saying "just watch and the refs will take over this game" --"the flags will start flying soon" and they did. it really is a trend (especially for one team) when people start saying it before it happens

I think it's mostly an issue of the LACK of calls. The Patriots only had ONE call against them all game, which the NFL mentioned hasn't happened to a playoff team since 2011. That is very impressive to go an entire 60 minutes with only one penalty.

I haven’t watched the games since the first colts home game this year. Watched the pats/jags game and I thought some calls that weren’t made against the pats were an issue but I also feel the Jags played scared after the middle of the 3rd quarter on and the Pats did what they always do, complete games. As for the nfl in general, we won’t watch the SB game for the first time in a long time nor attend a party with friends. As someone said, even the commercial side aren’t very good anymore. I just have to decide whether or not I have any desire to keep the season tickets or just be done with them altogether. Tough choice that I don’t want to make a rash decision on. Clock ticks though.

One game does not a career make. I've seen enough Patriots games with him calling plays to have an idea what we're getting into. Watching the Super Bowl isn't going to have any effect on that one way or another. 

 

It shouldn't for anyone.

Honest to god truth right there. I don't think they played scared, necessarily, but they played stupid. A lot of strange playcalling offensively. Like last year's SB, the Jags gave that game away more than the Patriots won it.

Maybe it was stupid play calling, I call it scared. They tried to run the ball to bleed the clock and they hadn’t really had success in that all game. Those 5-6 yard passes were what got them the first half lead. I think they went away from what worked and Bortles showed he is an avg qb still.

    • Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.  
    • I think it’s backwards.  MPJ is definitely Reggie based on skill set and tendencies.  AD can become Marvin with his explosiveness.   Raimann - I think he’ll be Castonzo.  Ol reliable, underappreciated, majority won’t realize how good he was until he’s gone.   AD - if he becomes what we think he can, Ocho Cinco.  Cocky, competitive, but will perform his butt off and will dance every chance he gets lol   Jelani Woods - Jimmy Graham, fast for his size, walking mismatch.
    • speaking of which, I’m about to win some good money.  I bet that brown would be FMVP, the Celtics would win the series, and it last at least 4 games.  
    • more reason to believe that after the top 3 wide receivers, Latu was their guy.  To not accept an offer to move back ONLY 4 spots and gain a top 100 pick is hard to do.  Bet if the rams through in a second instead of a third we might’ve took it.   think about it, if you move back 4 spots you’d still have a shot at one of the two top corners or even Dallas turner.  And we said no thanks, we want Latu.
