Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

Par4QC It's only the calls they do not make that is surprising...or confusing. You see them, I see them, everyone but them, sees them.

I don't agree. It's not just the calls they make. It's also about the calls they don't make (in real time) that we get to see in slow motion. Quite simply, one's bias affects what they think they see - sight is a cognitive process.
I'm with Joe Burrow. Both calls were correct.

professor I'm with Joe Burrow.

Likewise.

This just in and posting for Par4QC and others still using "cable".
BREAKING NEWS: Jeffrey Lurie Calls Out NFL Over Costly Playoff Streaming — Pressure Forces Major Change for Fans
The Eagles owner publicly criticized the NFL for forcing fans to pay multiple expensive streaming fees to watch playoff games. Growing backlash, fueled by reports that many Eagles fans can’t afford access, has reportedly pushed the league to launch a free, dedicated playoff streaming channel, a move that could dramatically reshape how Americans watch football.

professor nice thing living where I do is GB games are all on local TV. Not sure how they swung that but it's a thing!

Par4QC

professor That's good.
But, I don't have cable. Or satellite. And I'd never pay for streaming. It's not smart, only fashionable.

Good for Lurie doing this. Unfortunately paying for access to see NFL games seems to be in the cards.

Par4QC And I'd never pay for streaming. It's not smart, only fashionable.

How would or could you know? Fashionable?
Okay, so I love sports. I get YouTube TV and can watch my favorite college team's sports. I can watch every Pitt basketball game (they suck) and they're not televised unless I purchased the ACC network. Watched the Pitt women's volleyball team in the NCAA tournament but can watch any of their games.
So fashionable.

I feel like Michael Corleone. Just when I’m out they drag me back in. lol

Just to reiterate my position. So I’m not misquoted in the press. lol I believe both Cooks and Adams catches were catches.

My issue is…… “Questioning officiating double standards and arguing that players like Cooks and Adams did secure the ball, highlighting the inconsistent application of "football move" rules.”

“Many NFL analysts, former players (like Richard Sherman, Dan Orlovsky, Marshall Newhouse), believed Brandin Cooks' play against the Broncos should have been a catch.”

Now on to Denver. 😎

And many have said just the opposite. The tweet shows but two photos that validate the narrative. There are others that don't.

professor And many have said just the opposite. The tweet shows but two photos that validate the narrative. There are others that don't.

Yup……. Hence, again the subjectivity and ambiguity of a ‘football move’. Which we already agreed on way back in this thread. lol

I think what the divide between so many NFL people shows is even with replay there’s disagreement. As I mentioned before I’ve seen the retired tv broadcast booth refs disagree with calls on the field.

It is what it is. It just gets amplified in the Playoffs. Again, for me now it’s on to Denver. lol

It is hard to understand how these billionaire owners made billions--beside born rich

Bravopilot they must have really liked him. I don't know how Miami hires McDaniels but then they just hired Hafele......at least he has HC experience at the collegiate level......but very little time at the pro level......I 🤔 at that one too like it was the defensive equivalent of McDaniels.....but Hafely is clearly very well regarded! Never heard of him prior to GB hiring him.

Par4QC

Bravopilot I don't think many of them were billionaires until their teams became 'worth' billions.
And just who is doing those 'worth' evaluations???

Some teams aren't worth a ham sammich.😆

ode Perhaps the Ravens are planning to move on with Lamar Jackson since they hired a defensive coach.

Bravopilot Perhaps the Ravens are planning to move on with Lamar Jackson since they hired a defensive coach.

Care to clarify? The Ravens have always been a defensive minded team. Did you move on from Lamar Jackson? That'd be silly. He's gotten better over time and is much better reading coverage.

I remember when Tony used to throw RomoCeptions 😂😂😂
