Riveron is the nfls puppet. After watching these ridiculous calls week after week....calls in which are so blatant and obvious....one can only come to the conclusion that the NFL is getting exactly what they want out of riveron. A puppet.
I wish i could argue with you but after last year the fact he still has same position tells me they are ok with his absurd rulings. I read that this year he would only overturn obvious mistakes and yet here we are again. I am watching much more college this year since i do not understand basic concepts in the NFL anymore based on his rulings.

Criticizing Star for not making tackles is indeed misunderstanding his role. His job is to occupy a guard and a tackle and that's it. If he's not doing that it's a problem. Space eaters take a lot of heat from fans. Leonard Williams was regarded by many as the best player in his draft class. The Jets were so lucky he fell to them etc...In the Jets D his job is pretty much the same as Star's with the Bills. Many there now hate him because he's not making tackles/ getting sacks. There's a lot of doubt about whether the team will even exercise his fifth year option. At least the Bills have a good pash rushing DE to benefit from Star's work. The Jets don't have that.
if Williams hits the FA market it will be interesting to see whether he lands a generous contract, and/ or whether his new team changes his role and assignments.
You point out something that might be lost without a big picture perspective- hughes is worthless if they can regularly double team him. Star is useful in making others around him have one on one matchups but if they do not win one on one then he is useless.

For any CB just blow the receiver up anyway you can if you can get a hand on it = it's legal
The rule does state inadvertent should not be flagged- so that would mean the call should only happen when a dude is acting like Burfect- which is seldom- but the call happens a lot.

Officiating is a large part of why i have not watched much nfl since mid season last year. I think the bills get screwed regularly( that is likely my fandom speaking)but last year the favortism shown the Pats* was ridiculous. My father inlaw -who became a Pats* fan since i got married in 2001- tried to explain to me why calls were correct and made up reasons based on what could not be seen. I realized that he might be right and officials might be basing calls on expectations over what they see which is a huge problem. I truly think theNFL does not care about officiating right now and it shows.

Looking over our schedule, we play 5/6 division games in the 2nd half of the season. Both Jets games within a month of each other, and both Dolphins games within a month. The only team that's spread evenly is the Patriots*. Last season, we played all of our New England* and Miami games in December.
I get that this is a minor complaint, and I'm not saying it's any sort of slight or conspiracy against us. But shouldn't they be more spread out. Shouldn't we play each of our division rivals once in the first half, and once in the second half? It's just that the way a team's roster shapes from the beginning of the year, could be a completely different roster by the end of the year. It just seems right that it should be somewhat evenly spread out.
I have thought too much about this and think they should schedule the division games in two sets- weeks 5-9 first set and then 14-17 for second set. But i know that the nfl does not care about that.

I have been joking that it was all vontaes fault- maybe i should let rodak know i was just kidding and his reporting will hopefully improve.

Should be, but get a 260 lb Linebacker chasing you and sometimes you find and extra gear.
That is true of most things- just find the right motivation and you can do amazing things.

Someone here told me a few days ago that the replay system works fine...
It doesn’t. The NFL is populated by bozos.
I truly believe they call things differently based on player- not necessarily team- just like NBA. Certain lineman always hold and certain qbs always get roughed. The bozos simply care less about rules and more abput protecting certain players.

I right now would rather mahomes since i already know he is great. Allen looks like he will be great. I would prefer 13 tds to Allens total. But i am overall very optimistic

This poster also does not remember how bad eric moulds was his first two years combined for less than 50 catches. His mom actually called him out for not working hard enough. Give it time.

I thought we were going to get decimated (so did the rest of the world)
I am honestly not shocked we won- but the way our D played gives me hope that this is not a fluke.

They caught us looking ahead to Green Bay. This is a trap game for us.
I like this assessment- makes us look less stupid.

I can always defend a bad call. I can't defend a phantom call. How do you throw a flag on something you didn't see? That's the problem -- the default reaction is to throw a flag.
I mainly agree and hate phantoms- would prefer a few misses to too many calls but i amazed by amount of times calls clearly are called and expected actions and not on actual plays
-
Two weeks ago he was top 5- last year he was 5th on country in qbr. He was second last year in total expected points added. You can beleive tua is better because the kid can play(which i do not dispute) but to discount an undefeated qb who has better numbers over a whole season than either bama qb and beat as many top 25 teams last year as bama makes you into an absurd homer. Just because you are ignorant of anything outside the SEC does not mean that they are untrue.

You find ANY place where I say that guys at 19 are the same as 25. I’ve REPEATEDLY said that a college team couldn’t beat an NFL team. It would be 2 scores or more. You clearly haven’t been paying attention. The point was that when this Alabama roster gets to 25 (like that 2001 Miami team) there will be stars. That 2001 Miami team couldn’t have beaten an NFL team. If you took every guy on that roster though, in their prime, it could have been a really good team (even with Dorsey). No one is talking about 19 and 20 year olds beating men.
I have not read the entire thread piece by piece but it would appear that this thread was started by comments claiming 20 year olds could beat the Bills. But if you are simply stating if that Miami team was reconstituted in 2008 that it would be a good pro team i agree.

In college, there is so much roster turnover from year to year, last year is irrelevant.
Troll attempt:
Effort: C+ (Going after Tua is a bold strategy Cotton, but poorly thought out.)
Execution: F (Better than Tua? Who's next on your list? Murray from OU?)
First statement is mostly true but we do use last year as a basis for early season polls. As for the second statement- Tua is a really good qb and has shown it in all three games hee has started but milton has played at an extremely high level for 16 of the past 17 games. Twice his defense did not show up and he had to score basically every drive last year against top 25 teams. If you have not watched there offense then please do not call one of the top 5 heisman canidates( per espn) a troll job.

Can I book this bet for you? You take 12 guys on Alabama’s roster to be in the NFL and I’ll take the over. You name the stakes. I’ll even give you 2:1
That’s why I used the 2001 Miami team as the example. They are historically great but this ‘Bama team may be too. They had 39 guys drafted!! They probably had a dozen or so in the Pro Bowl and a few in the HOF. That’s way ahead of where our roster is.
Do you believe that ray lewis as a college player was equal to ray lewis 6 years i to his career? Or that oline would be equal to what they became? I can not beleive you think you can compare what they became to what they are in college. Tebow was a better college qb than aaron rodgers- the game is very different and the pro game is much faster and little is the same.

I am sorry I don't agree that they are NFL standard players by default. Completely opposite perspective to how I look at things.
Maybe you are making a point that i am missing but are you saying that a player can in the NFL who is not NFL quality? I am sorry but that makes no sense.

you haven't been on the big board today? good fun there... and no, i don't think college kids could play with the worst NFL team...
too bad the Tarheels game was stormed out, that would help UCF's cause, but if they keep winning they should move up to that place below the best one-loss teams
I have been on big board i saw the idiocy- but UCF will not be given proper credit because of confirmation bias- normally lesser conference teams are not as good as big conference teams but UCF is the exception. As was Utah back in 2004(?) when they rhumped bama to be undefeated.
-
This year they have not beat anyone good but if they were to play the bills i think UCF would win 84-0. ? seriously who is dumb enough to believe any college team could beat a pro team?

I understand your concern but the bolded above is just completely wrong.
Alabama is better than them at every single offensive position and I suggest that other teams are as well.
I must simply disagree and i have watched both. Bama has a ton of talent but if you watch UCF you will realize they are almost always the worst defensive game for their opponents. They scored more on Auburn last year than any other team last year and that was while playing a subpar first half. And milton is better than either qb on bama.
-
right now UCF should be top 10 based on winning steak and overall talent on team. And before anyone decides to blast the talent on team please watch them, they have as much offensive talent as anyone in country. Defense might be suspect in some ways but is not bad. So flame away but please watch first.

I think that stereotype is way overblown.
I see really hot girls at most northern schools. Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan State, Michigan, Cincinnati etc. games always have a lot of hot ones.
And as far as cheerleaders go. I think Syracuse usually has the hottest cheerleaders in the ACC. I haven't been impressed with a lot of the southern school's cheerleaders.
Dude I love SU but unless things have changed drastically since 2005-and I know that is possible- they could not challenge Miami or FSU for cheerleaders and especially average coeds on general. FSU 80% are hot while syracuse is about 50%.
