Some of you pushing back on this rule are totally out of touch with reality. I suppose that’s not unexpected given you’ve never had to live as a minority, but rather than arguing what should or shouldn’t be, put that energy towards understanding why something like this exists. If after that you’re still unsure, PM me and I’ll give you stories on what it’s like to live in America with a darker skin tone. Racial bias still exists, whether any of you want to admit it or not.

Shoulder to shoulder, textbook hit. There shouldn’t be any “he hit me too hard” flags like there have been. Marv’s “over-officious jerks” wouldn’t fly in this postseason 😂
-
Part of the problem when they make game altering calls (ie taking away a TD, big yardage play, or a turnover), is that the other team can commit a penalty on a huge play and it goes unnoticed. By leaving the flags in their pocket, there’s no bias, the game isn’t tilted in one team’s favor. Will this carry over to the league next year? Or are the playoffs special circumstances?
-
I think it’s pretty clear to everyone watching, the NFL has advised the refs to hold onto their flags this postseason. They’re not making game altering calls and they’re allowing the players to decide the games. An interesting side effect to this, is that this postseason, starting in the divisional round, has had some of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever seen. Is there a correlation between the refs holding their flags and the entertainment value of these games skyrocketing? Or is it simply a coincidence?

You may be right. 9ers are starting to turtle-up.
-
And we know how one score games have gone this year. Ugh. Swamy would’ve finally got his wish for a Bills vs 49ers Super Bowl.
-
Think the Bills would’ve been favored by about 6.5 over the 49ers.
-
Just like the Bills seemingly stopped playing and lost all sense of urgency when they went up 3 with 13 seconds left, the Chiefs sleepwalked in the second half after going up 21-3 and lost their urgency. Gotta keep playing until the game ends, I have no doubt the Bills defense would’ve looked different last week if they were up by less than 3 with 13 seconds left.

Comparing Allen to Burrow, I think Burrow’s accuracy and processor are a little better, but Allen is more physically imposing. His skillset makes him harder to defend if everything in the secondary is covered up (or the OL doesn’t block).
-
Buck and Aikman are the two most uninteresting commentators calling games. I’m glad we get to avoid their FOX broadcasts most of the time.
-
So frustrating to see him running around in circles and largely getting away with it. We needed a LB to play it like Hubbard and start rushing when he scrambles.
-
I think only 2 KC drives didn’t end with points against the Bills.
-
Would love for KC to lose in heartbreaking fashion
-
The Allen from the two playoff games this year? Absolutely. The Allen from the 17 game regular season? Not yet, but he’s getting there.
-
I guess you’re stalking me then as well 🤷🏾♂️ how about finding more important things to do…?
-
If you call jumping on his Twitter to see how much he was gloating over this performance as “stalking” then you need hit Webster’s dictionary.
-
Nick Wright bet $500 on a Chiefs parlay and three of them have already hit. If Chiefs win by 21+ he gets back $8000.
-
This just in: Mahomes is good. I think the Chiefs would’ve smacked the Titans too.
-
Since the possibility of tying a game down 3, with 13 seconds left and on your own 25 is probably around 2%, you could say they’re a team of destiny.
-
Knox has trended upwards every year, but the question was would I feel comfortable paying what I’ve seen thus far $8M/yr and that answer is no. I like Knox, I think he works hard and again, has great athleticism, but you can’t put his name in the same sentence as a Kittle or Kelce. I know every player in the league drops passes, that’s not in doubt. It’s the types of drops that matter and how that affects the game.
-
There are actually many who could not only keep up, but are faster than Hill. Unfortunately none of them play football. I’ll never forget what Marquis Goodwin (4.28) said about track speed. His quote was “yeah, I’m one of the fastest guys in football, but I’m nothing compared to those Olympic sprinters. They have speed that’s on a whole nother level.” I just shook my head in awe. Coleman runs 4.12 40 yard dash

After having watched the Beane presser, I would be shocked if Edmunds is here past the 5th year option without his play significantly improving. With regards to the contract, all Beane offered was “we’ll have to see how it works out” and never once said “we’d love to keep him here.” He did say Edmunds is “getting better” with his instincts, physicality, getting off blocks, and alpha male leadership, but you could tell he wasn’t happy with his overall growth. No big money deals coming for Edmunds, from Buffalo, barring a Josh Allen-like leap.
