i keep trying. i just cant stop the "rubber banding" i score they score. they score i score. game obviously tries to keep the games artificially close to make it more "exciting". if you get a key first down that can end the game better believe that's when the first and only holding call will pop up. been playing lockdown D? the opposing offense cuts through it like cheese on the drive after you score. same with my o if they score. i don't use money plays and play sim as possible so if someone has a slider set that stops this let me know. it makes everything you do pointless in game.

i cant disagree but lets not act like guys werent all over him as soon as he touches it. when he gets alittle room and lowers his shoulders he drags guys and gets the extra yardage. pitt has a great d line. if you asked me before the season id say keep ivory or even grab blount as a hammer type veteran. gore has exceeded expectations so as a rb 2 im ok with.

yea sorry. i was acctually happy to see gore come in yesterday. the fumbling could have lost us the game and gore isnt a worldbeater but hes dependable to grind yards out after first contact and wont fumble...thats what you need in close games to control clock and churn out a hard fought first down.

its rediculous. the official didn't even give the guy a chance to whine about the phantom call. officiating 101 see nothing. wait for guy to cry. get yelled at and booed by home crowd. throw flag like you saw everthing.

nothing like seeing our team have a graphic of the offense showing up in a fing clown car to show we have short recievers. ?

thanks! yeah i was expecting to see a big reach grab to stop a guy from getting to the lbs..if anything. thats basically a get the f off me hip throw pancake. hands were basically inside and the play wasnt anywhere near em but ref sees guy flop to the ground so must throw the flag i guess you just have to let them block you! if your strong enough to toss them to the side try and do it so they dont fall...complete bs imo. if shaws right and they are told to look for THAT. the games truly degraded to pity pat tag football.

shaw did they replay the defensive holding on star? im still looking for a reason a dt would defensively hold on a running play. at the same time hughs got a personal foul...i think for mouthing off to whoever called that bummed penalty. im not blaming the loss on that sequence but it resulted in the first td. all together the refs were all over the place. that seems like the NFL today. you see a dt hold but miss 12 guys in a huddle? it continued on into all the other games that afternoon. just wondering if the stadium got a replay because the broadcast sure didnt. hoping someone with all 22 can explain maybe. good write up as usual. thnx for the read.

OP, did you watch it in all 22? reason i ask is what the hell does a defensive tackle holding look like, ON A RUN PLAY!!!!?? the coverage today was complete garbage i would have LOVED to see what the ref saw! im pretty sure Jerry hughs loved seeing it as well and explicitly told the ref his feelings which resulted in ANOTHER 15 yards. this resulted in the ravens first touchdown. please show me the replay or look specifically at the play. otherwise i feel ill never see or hear that call again

lol good catch! it not even apple! this is Murica! those commies are using rubarb!

your father should have told you. we fight as a single impenetrable unit! that is the source of our strength. each drunk fan protects the mafia member to his left and right. a single weak spot, and the entire unit will be in jail. if youd like to help, bring cold beer to the men before we leap the wall. as for the ripping down the goalpost itself.......we cannot use you.

my concern is a 4 but i identify as a 7.

i think everyone who is down on ed should take a looksey at the cant miss, blockbuster, arguably best player in the draft, quinnen williams stats. it will make you feel better. i think the kid is decent but just not a game disrupter yet. prob needs a full offseason of strength conditioning with coaches and seeing how often kyle is in his ear..he will have one of the best.

i did it! i put the phone down and there are untold wonders to explore. did you know flowers have a sweet scent and the sun is warm? come with me brothers and sisters who knows what else is out there!!! Update: it was a lie! the sun burns and flowers contain creatures that sting your flesh! go back to the saftey of your phones brothers and sisters!!

really? i was telling my girlfriend phillips is so big he cant feel the ball cause it looked like he sat on it a sec. i dont remember him even looking for the ball cause he stood right up after. ill see if i can find a replay because i thought the same thing.

good write up! pretty much what i saw point for point as well. what is going on with singletary and this system? id say they are holding him back due to the hammy but its been exactly how they use him this season...sparingly. overall i thought we had success running then go straight to a empty set? if you want identity it def pass first sprinkle in a bit of run to change it up. and 1 of the sprinkles is motor. am i wrong? we ran alot to kill clock so cant tell by attempts. im with you Phillips strip sack...rolls over the ball sitting on it..then forgets that its there? strange play but guy is hitting a different gear and it will be hard to not offer a extention but he wont want depth money. really hoping knox gets it together. its been a long time since we had a game changing te. hes in the right places at the right time and has to finish the play. jugs machine is your friend. lets be honest. we have played alot of bad teams and have had to climb out of a self inflicted hole in alot of these games. allen said they were rusty coming out. if we are going to compete against some of the better teams we have to look prepared and play that way all game. but the big bright spot was allen didnt hand a turnover to them and the defense did not have to play lights out to save the O while they stalled out. they both struggled and both turned it around when they had to. happy with the W regardless. tre white. the guy was a great draft selection! every game he proves it.

i thought the knock was he was a good blocker and super athletic but wasnt given a chance at recieving because they dont use alot of te as recievers in that program. i get he is raw but what gets me about alot of players is fundamental football trait is catching a ball. you do it day one in the park playing with your friends. these guys have been practicing eating drinking football most thier lives so catching a ball should be automatic. maybe not when a guy is draped all over you or if a ball is in a awkward position where you have to make a crazy adjustment...but in your chest looking it in with both hands!? this isnt a direct knock on dawson at all! but week in week out, corner backs especially, its like thier first time trying to catch this wierd oblong object they never seen before. to the point where it goes through thier hands and hits em in the face!? i dunno may be pressure from the situation but is pretty incredable to watch sometimes. the greenbay recievers last week for example lol

definetly needs alot more reps on the jugs machine. people are saying rookie, but rookies shouldnt need time to develope catching a ball thats right in thier hands..running routes, picking up blocking assignments dumb penalties rookies should learn. getting two hands on a well thrown ball and making a catch, not so much. guy is really doing a good job at the other stuff you think hed struggle with so far. im just hoping they didnt use him as a wr in college because he just wasnt reliable making the catches? maybe somone who watched his career can chime in.

i don't really see that. how do you prepare or become better when there are bad calls at this rate? people act like winning at the highest level is easy and you can just do better so bad calls effect it less. there is def pissing and moaning and at the end of the day it " might " be just human error. but if the ref calls something he thinks is a penalty...thats the problem! dont call it if its not clear. dont take over the game with 50/50 calls. let them play unless its clear. they cant help themselves this year. they are throwing flags at a amazing pace for minor issues that have no argument. fans pundits and announcers are all seeing this crap clear as day. if you left for work and your tires got slashed you should have left 2 hours early..you should be fired. do better. next week windows smashed and battery stolen well should have left 3 hours early. point is, you can't predict bad officials so its not like there is a thing you can do but hope they do there job properly. they arent. bad officiating isn't a isolated incident this year, 1 missed call here and there. its a ton of games and calls! saying ah well we should have been better is a odd way to look at somthing you had no control over in a ultra competitive competion. the improvement that should be the focus for the next game should be the subject of the officials this year.

at this point id say they are doing it to themselves. every rule does not have to be nitpicked enforced. did a guy touch a wide reciever or alter his route? did a guy intentionally lead with his helmet or did two guys accidently collide making football moves? its like common sense it out the window to make some absurd statement or somthing. plenty of laws in this world and if cops wanna be pricks we would all be in court for 1 mile over the limit or jaywalking ect. luckly they seem to only care about the major ones where people are actively and intentionally breaking the law. i think refs should have the same standard.

not really your 2 ft away...twice. you saying dont want to get called keep your hands down is a oversimplication. your bulllrushing a huge human being and leverage is a absolute to winning the battle. there is zero rule about putting your hand on the chest or shoulderpad but avoid it cause a blind official might make a terrable call? TWICE? even tho its a valid technique that he has prob been taught since hs and as the announcer states a foul he has had zero problems with in the past he should preemptively stopped doing that legal thing that was having success.

wow just got home and all i watched on the subject was this video so i dont see a pi issue but hands to the face TWICE that gives gb a easy fg and lets them kill time so det has zero chance to get it back!!? im sorry but this crap needs to end. if there is any question to a call then you cant throw the flag! time and again officials have a power trip or flat out show bias. its ruining the fun of watching and goodell has done nothing to address it. bad calls happen but even clear reviews arent changing them. it stinks of corruption at this point and if the league is blatenly corrupt then the outcome is pointless to care about. guys are flopping to get calls. outcomes are changing at a alarming rate and thier is rarly a sucessful play without a little yellow banner poping up where you hold your breath wondering if it will stand.

am i still hanging on the only achievement that our football team has earned above any other team?...... yes...yes i am. i guess ill hang on greatest comeback if we lose that one.

your right and whats really concerning about this is it seems patriots have a easy pass to go to there 4rth straight superbowl and eclipse our record because they acctually won them. GOD DO I HATE THEM!!! we are in prime position to stop them so i guess its put up or shut up. no more rebuild. no more next year. NOW!!

i didnt read any of this nonsense thread. youll never beat the pats by running! you face them head on in the glorious battlefield. you cowards should be ashamed!

yeah now it looks like the horn is a floppy ear with a earing. dont think op knew the eye was already there and even if it wasn't now the horn is way to far back to be effective in goring tom brady in the vulnerable neck region.
