    2023 Division round at the SF

    Absolutely agree. Love has enough speed to avoid defenders, extend plays or gain yds on his own when needed. That across the field pass you mentioned was a mistake that will stick with him. Exactly the kind of experience he needed. For me the experience gained this season far outweighs that...

    2023 Division round at the SF

    Let's be honest. We weren't ready for a SB yet. To young, to inexperienced, a suspect defense that needed improvement in personnel, schemes and strategy. You need all those things to be working at a higher level to have a chance. Very experienced teams have already faced the realities of SB...

    Top Needs of the Off-Season

    Ok guys... lest anyone thinks they might have missed something, let me clear up this mystery.. I had asked the internet for "packers current news", which to me means is anything happening now or in the past few days. Apparently the internet has a different definition of current which appears to...

    Top Needs of the Off-Season

    It looks like the hiring of new DC has been talked about quite a but so I am going in a different direction. GM BG has been busy picking up several players off waivers. Mostly defensive guys. Looks like next training camp is going to have alot of competition to make the team. I've read thru...

    I see what you are saying. Since the packers did win the outcome wasn't affected. A better choice of words on my part would have been to say if PI had been called the outcome could have been affected, but that's not a guarantee that it would have been affected. The chiefs would still have had...

    Not exactly. What I am saying is the odds or probability of them winning would have gone up quite a bit if interference had been called giving them a chance from a spot much closer to the end zone than where they were. Doesn't mean they would have won. Only means they would have had a better...

    2023 Division round at the SF

    In the case of the chiefs game the non- call did affect the outcome of the game since there was very little time left for the chiefs to do anything so that long pass was their last gasp of hope to try to get close enough to the end zone to try something. Otherwise I agree that in any game many...

    2023 Division round at the SF

    As far as I understand things officiating crews get graded on every play in every game by NFL authorities. If a crew wants to make it to playoff status they have to do an accurate job as best they can. Bad calls(from our perspective) happen all the time because many times it comes down to a...

    They use to say the same thing about the patriots in their heyday. Calls( or no calls) seemed to be tilted their way. But the data doesn't support that assumption. Pats were 11 SBs with a 6-5 record. Barely above 500.

    2023 Division round at the SF

    When all is said and done I guess I am just an old fashioned football fan no matter who is playing in the SB. I always liked football the most of all the sports. I enjoy the chess match, the cat and mouse game going on. And it just suits my personality as far as action. Baseball is to slow for...

    2023 Division round at the SF

    Yes there's been a number of players over the years who have earned that bad boy distinction. Remember Freddy "the hammer" Williamson who had a penchant for jamming his elbow into the top of a guys helmet. Or Bill romanowski the master of spitting on people. Ndamukong Duh stepping on people...

    2023 Division round at the SF

    Exactly... The NFL has changed quite a bit since the Lombardi era. There are so many more rules these days it's hard to keep track. Taunting, roughing the passer, blind side blocks etc, anyone of which can sink a team and turn momentum the other way. That's why discipline becomes just as...

    2023 Division round at the SF

    Very much agree... I can't believe lions lost that game. Losing a halftime lead liked that reminded me of the falcons blowing that 28-0 lead vs patriots. 49rs had a lot of luck in this game starting early in the 3rd qtr when Purdy threw that long pass that should have been an INT but instead...

    2023 Division round at the SF

    I hate watching games where one team makes those 1 or 2 bonehead plays during a game that just stifle a great play your team just made. How frustrating for the ravens with their guy Flowers making a great catch on a long pass in the red zone only to be called for taunting which sets them back...
