    If that's what you took from my reply I don't know what to tell you ...

    Re-read your 1st paragraph.  
     

     

    My point is multiple infractions happen on every play.  Where do you draw the line on what gets called and what doesn’t?   Officiating isn’t any better or worse than it was 20 years ago.  
     

     

    The only thing that changed was frame by frame super slo mo replays which lead to 2nd guessing officiating who are doing it real time on the field.

    One would think that IF the NFL was all about the game they would be able to have a Ref looking at every play and the plays that have a penalty that is missed and every one but the ref on the field see's it that it could be over turned ! 

     

    But instead they wait until games are lost because of the incompetent call during the games like last season in the Chiefs - Bills game then change the rules after the fact instead of before they happen that is the league being reactive instead of pro active .

     

    I even saw some calls in the Jags - Chiefs game that were blatant misses that could have easily changed the out come of that game and some on both sides, I know in real time some of those calls could be missed but if they would implement the so called Eye in the Sky Ref or what ever its called they could correct the human error that happens on some of these calls .

     

    There were a couple of those holding calls on the Bills center that were just ridiculous and some of the none calls on the Bills WR's that were also missed that helped that out come to be what it was ...

    So you want penalties called on every play with the “eye in the sky”?

    I’d like to think, in 2025, a company that generates over $23B a year, could spot the ball accurately. There is absolutely technology available that’s far superior to an old guy running out with his foot. You could also develop technology better than what we already have (which again is way better than the current process). Maybe an old guy running in and putting his foot where he thinks that the ball goes will remain for West Senca East vs. Williamsville North but that’s not good enough for the NFL.

    You can put sensors in the ball, but what technology is going to figure out when forward progress is stopped or when a player’s body part is “down”?

    Our defense seems to require so much experience in it before you can be trusted it drives me nuts. It sacrifices athleticism and talent so a trusted veteran is in there.

    Sick of hearing how complex our defense is.  Why if so complex, are they so very mediocre every season?

     

    Maybe McD and his boy toy Babich need to think about using the KISS principle when coming up with a defensive game plan.

    You will not convince me otherwise after that joke last night. 
     

    The network (thus the league) had its narrative ready and did everything they could to make the team that lost at home to Vegas and Pittsburgh relevant again.  
     

    Robert Kraft was in attendance.  Is that normal for him on road games?
     

    You will not see a playoff game with 11 TOTAL penalties let alone 11 on one team.  Yea they threw some on NE in the 2nd half but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t “fix it” later.

     

     

    THEY THREW A FLAG ON THE FINAL KICK RETURN.  That was just in case we returned it for a TD.  

     

    Holding calls that were beyond questionable and will NEVER be called in January.  
     

    Our WRs NEVER are interfered with.  Amazing considering how much man we see.  
     

    NE never held on ANY passes - did I miss one?   
     

     

    This isn’t a “blame the refs” for the loss either.  You can take it that way but we had a chance to win.  Then Shakir got mugged and the network did a great job showing why that wasn’t a DPI.  Total joke.  
     

    Not a blame the refs.  You just won’t convince me otherwise that when this league needs something done for a team it will get done.  
     

     

    Knew this thread would be coming after the 1st loss(and every subsequent loss) of the season. 😂😂😂

    Not unless something drastically changes. They have looked lost in their two games without Burrow and they have Lions, Packers, and Steelers in their next three games. They'll be at 2-5 by the time they get to a winnable game against the Jets and even then, I can't see how they can move the ball on anyone with that QB behind that OL.

    Hence my upthread post wondering if they should go get WIlson, Winston or Cousins?

    They don’t mean anything? lol… (you wanna bet)

     

    They mean everything. These are the front runners.

     

    Every person that has been the betting favorite at the end of the year or all but one the last 25 years has won the MVP. So I would say it matters more than anything else when trying to figure out who wins it. 

    If you want to compare players to see how they are doing post the stats.  Otherwise, just post betting odds and don’t bother trying to figure out who the frontrunners are.
