That was a home-job. Not saying that it changed the outcome of the game, but the number of no-calls was ridiculous, starting with the Prop Rule on the first TD. :ohno: :ohno:

That's why I quit the Masons. They wanted me to ring that stupid bell every year. Too fucking cold.

Sorry, but getting to a Super Bowl and beating Brady and Belichick once you get there is not catching lightning in a bottle.

Sure, they've fallen off this year, due primarily to a ridiculous rash of injuries. They started the season without Wentz or Jeffery and during the season have just been decimated. Jay Ajayi, Derek Barnett, Ronald Darby, Rodney McLeod, Mike Wallace, Mack Hollins, and Chris Maragos are starters on the IR, along with several backups. Then there are the ongoing walking wounded:. Peters, Kelce, Lane Johnson, Sproles, Hicks, Sidney Jones, Jalen Mills, Rasul Douglas, Avonte Maddox, Tim Jernigan.

Hell, the Eagles could conceivably have 50% of it's secondary as players starting their first game in the NFL this week if Chandon Sullivan and De'Vante Bausby have to start.

Yes, every NFL team has to deal with injuries, but nothing like this.

There were several key "no calls"
Of the most significant nature / 15 yard personal / non-negotiable calls that were not called

:nod:

that would have been a very close game otherwise
Not sure it would have flipped the outcome but it sure as hell changed the final score

Luck now has at least 3 TD passes in 8 straight games...
Shoe-in for comeback player of the year, and should be in the MVP discussion. :nod:

That will be a totally new experience for Andrew Luck

He used to have to throw 55 times a game and score 38 to win

:ohno:

plus he's got two good Tight Ends
and two good running backs to add to a legitimate group of wide outs

Speaking of which, did anyone catch that weird call in a college game... maybe the Clemson game? D-lineman did a barrel roll before the snap and they flagged him for "disconcerting signal". :shock: :suspicious: :suspicious:

Interesting to note:
The Bronco's lost those Chiefs games LATE in the 4th
They were in those games and made late mistakes - dumb mistakes

If they had those games over again I'm not so sure that the Bronco's don't win one of those against the Chiefs

Down to 1 good Tight End with Doyle out for season.

As expected the Cowboys are up 13-0 on the Saints at the half. First time Saints were shutout in the first half in 71 games. Fly Zeke Fly. :coffee:

I was sure the Cooper fumble was the beginning of the end but the D stepped up. Cowboys front 7 is really good.

Ask Flaggy what my prediction was for this game. I just had a feeling. :coffee:

#1 - Dallas' defense is good.

#2 - With addition of A.C., Dallas' offense is wide open for the other WRs and Zeke.

#3 - Come the fuck on and start playing some football in the second half, Saints! :pissed:

The Cowboys need 14 points in the second half to win this game...
because the Saints will fight like hell to make a run - but first team to 27 points wins

That's my halftime prediction

Since coming to the team Cooper is playing like a true #1. I don't watch the Raiders regularly but I wonder if he was just unhappy there?

Candidate for stupidest penalty of the year on Dallas, running into the punter there. They were close to putting it away with one more scoring drive.
