Packers get so many calls, almost as many as the Patriots. Remember the Colts game against the Packers this year?

Here’s the difference the Colts were holding and they called it.  The Bucs are holding and they aren’t calling it.  The later is a bigger problem.  The other is on the team for not being disciplined.

I dislike both QBs. I hate that Brady is Tampa's QB, as I like Bruce Arians and some players on the Bucs team.

I have said the same thing.  Not a fan of either QB.

 

However......I'm eating crow today.  I can no longer deny the talent of TB.  It is what it is.

 

Go AFC.  :P

I am now rooting for the Chiefs lmao because the Bills have little chance vs the Bucs. Chiefs can beat them but that game will be 50/50. 

 

I'm rooting for the Bills to win it all. I was a huge Stefon Diggs fan when he was a Vikings player and hated the trade. Buffalo is a blue-collar team in a blue-collar city. It would be great if they won. It would give me hope that these 4-loss teams in the SB can win. Denver won, Bills are due, then maybe the Vikings. :)

Bills won't beat the Bucs IMO, not enough fire power otherwise I would love to see the Bills win. I trust the Chiefs more to take out Tom.

It did cause 7 point, Tampa wouldnt even have the ball to score, no argument can be made otherwise on that. And no refs can change game immensely  even if better team, as a former coach I laugh when ever any spews such faulty logic (No offense to you, you repeat what you heard) BUT a team nor player in individual sport isnt always better to a degree where it wont effect outcome and honestly there is no point spread determining a winner in a real game. 

I don't want us to hijack this thread and veer off topic too much, but I disagree. Tampa Bay wouldn't have scored 7 points if GB played defense with any common sense on that last play. Point blank, it was a bad call but there's no excuse how the packers blew that coverage in an obvious situation. This is championship level football and you don't deserve to complain when you make an obvious mental error like that. And correct, refs can play an impact on the game of course. The point being, if you're truly the better team....no ref can dictate the outcome of the game. Of course, there's extreme examples were the refs call a poor game consistently throughout the game but that's rare.

No team holds more than the Packers do. Ask any Lions, Bears, or Vikings fan. Look at Bahktiari (spelling??).

I’ll say this the Packers defense or lack there of is a much bigger problem than the officials. 

Nope not even close, take away the 7 it could not of occured....now would Green bay have scored 7 likely no but 3 points very likely. Thats a 7-10 point swing in an 11 point game with G.B. ball. Pack D is outplaying tampa D....Pack have more yards

If Tampa doesnt have the ball physically impossible to score the td...think that ends any argument quickly....

Why exactly would a Vikings fan hate Brady? Genuinely curious. 

 

Same reason Colts fans would. I am a fan of the game. If I perceive teams to be cheating, I dislike them. I stopped watching the NBA because it seemed that some games were rigged.

 

I have rooted against Brady since the Tuck Rule game. It did not seem like a fair rule.

Last comment I'll make regarding this but if the refs call the obvious (not even subjective) false start on GB a few plays ago where they picked up a good chunk of yards, they may have been forced to punt. Therefore, the play we're talking about wouldn't even be a talking point and would end the argument quickly. And who knows, maybe the packers would've still blown the coverage and let a 70-80 yard touchdown pass happen after the punt

Last I'll make, refs alter outcomes with blown calls and that one was obvious and changed game.....we can go back to the 1972 Olympics basketball...if U.S.A. played better defense on each of the added time restarts they win....both restarts were asinine...Russia got Gold...U.S. refused silver.....team A sometimes needs all it can muster to beat team B..ALL they can muster. Than bad call changes result and they dont deserve to win......that argument cant ever ever be allowed to go unchecked......

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By PRnum1 · Posted

      That would be a typical Falcon move... Lol !   Verse is a nice player but to me you absolutely take the player from Alabama who's a one man wrecking crew.   The SEC is a much tougher conference as well.  No disrespect to FSU which is playing in a much softer conference.   However, if the Falcons bit on Verse, Turner could fall to 15.

      I don’t think he’s fairly being judged here. There’s been reports every single year that we were the high bidder and yet lost out. I truly think most of that comes down to the fact we really don’t have much to offer in terms of things not counting as salary. No franchise QB proven yet, no bikini clad babes or beaches, income tax etc.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Superman · Posted

      I have macro, philosophical pushback, which is basically covered in this article: "The draft is an absolute petri dish for every cognitive bias underneath the sun." "Teams massively overestimate their abilities to delineate between stars and flops, and because of that they overvalue the 'right to choose' in the draft." "'I firmly do not believe you trade a high pick, which is going to be a difference-maker, in order to pick up two picks,' he (Polian) said. "But that's the issue, one former NFL executive pointed out. That logic assumes the player you're initially picking will actually become a difference-maker." "'The problem for everyone in sports is that nobody wants to admit how random and arbitrary it is,' the former NFL executive said. 'Admitting that it's arbitrary takes away from your specific abilities.'" So my pushback is that talking yourself into a specific player is inherently risky. Ask the Panthers. Doesn't mean you can't be right, but I think if you analyze the results of trade-ups for prospects, there's no consistent success. You can tell me all day long that MHJ and Nabers are the best prospects of the last five years -- and I don't necessarily disagree -- but the truth is that no one really knows what they'll become in the NFL. And the way we talk about our favorite prospects doesn't accurately reflect that reality. We're all guilty at times of talking about these guys like they're locks, but history tells us that anyone can bust, at any spot in the draft.   My more specific pushback is that I think the way this year's draft is expected to go at the top will result in the Colts still having a great menu of options available at #15, and they can still get a prospect they really like who has playmaker potential without trading up. Especially if you're eyeing a WR. So as much as I would love to have one of the top three receivers, I don't see the value in moving up this year. (And I'll admit a personal bias: I love Brian Thomas Jr, and think we'd be in great shape if we drafted him at #15.)

      Chuck is still around, Adam V still has land in the area as far as I know, Andrew still has a place, Reggie has obviously stayed. Also seems like our old players love any chance to come back for events.    I mean it’s not the most stunning state in natural beauty, but there are some really nice locations if a person is willing to look for them.

      The whole notion that players don’t like Indianapolis is ridiculous.  Several choose to settle in Indy after their careers are over if they spent any time with the Colts.
