The NFL Thread 2: 1. T Swift

Randy Moss’s son played TE on the 2019 LSU team along with Jefferson, Chase etc. Randy’s GOATness rubbed off on them allowing them to become the players they are today

looks like they counted complaining at refs good work suzzer

even excluding that, suzzer singlehandedly probably accounts for like 10% of that red bar.

Data-driven evidence that the refs constantly hose the Chiefs!

1/2 of lions complaints still about the Calvin Johnson Rule.

I’d be willing to bet a big chunk of those Chiefs complaints were about the Chris Jones phantom roughing call against Carr, and the Chris Jones unsportsmanlike conduct call for cussing at Matt Ryan.

For Chiefs fans, having the best record in the AFC isn’t enough. Gotta have every call go your way too.

This idea that just because your team wins a lot, you don’t get to complain about calls is dumb. Bad calls are bad calls.

There’s complaining about bad calls and there’s the suzzer experience

Do chiefs fans complain on twitter while taking Jazz baths?

Nah, we’ve done this before, there’s so much more to it than that. Weird Lions losses in the last decade alone:

  • Calvin Johnson Rule
  • Throwing the challenge flag on an 80 yard TD when the guy was obviously down after 5 yards, but because it wasn’t challengeable due to auto-review, call on the field stands.
  • Replacement refs marking off penalty from the wrong spot.
  • Uncalled batted ball out of the end zone.
  • Phantom facemask on Rodgers setting up game winning hail mary.
  • 10 second runoff caused by incorrect call preventing the Lions from running a game winning play on the 1 inch line.
  • Picked up PI flag on obvious PI vs. the Cowboys in the playoffs.
  • Calling phantom hands to the face multiple times on GB game winning TD drive.
  • Missed delay of game penalty by at least 2 or 3 seconds setting up game winning 66 yard FG.

There’s more, that’s just what I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe all teams get screwed by the refs a lot, and the Lions certainly have themselves to blame for being in that spot a lot, but they have certainly had their share of screwjobs.

Penalty on coach plus auto review was negated. Double penalized. Change the Ike the next year.

Our first year in our house here outside Philly. Thanksgiving. Warm day. Windows open. I’m f bombing at high volume.

The wife is very upset with me as what will the neighbors think. Then we went out to eat on a Sunday and saw 70 year old ladies wearing pearls f bombing the Eagles game.

Turns out I fit right in.

Don’t get me started on the picked up flag.

that one too, but the refs were on the lions side last game vs the bears, gonna be awhile before that’s even though obviously

googling has a walker sack on kirk cousins that got flagged

Today I saw a personalized California license plate on a new BMW X5 that read: BUFLVII

Pretty bold prediction to etch that into your car, props to that guy

Can’t he just apply for a different vanity plate next year? Seriously asking. I have no idea how that works. It’s not something I’d ever get.

This is not the game thread for those that might get confused by my post pushing this up. :pray:t3:
