jtothebrown Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Its obvious that the NFL aka National Football Entertainment has their heal that everyone loves to hate just like the wwe. There were reports of players from other teams reaching out to certain Jags players after the game to rant about blatant no calls and questionable calls made in favour of the Pats. My question is when will an owner speak out against this blatant favourtism for this team? My answer is.... they wont because they are getting paid no matter what! The NFL is just sports entertainment, its liscensed as such, same as the WWE. Time to tune out to anything NFL unless its Bills related! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfan1972 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The calls made against Jacksonville were correct in every case (heck the fumble could have been overturned imo)........ The issue however is non-calls. There were very few replays of close calls (outside the 4th down play by Gilmore, which was not a penalty). There were a # of plays where calls could have been made and yes never seen a Pat get a holding call...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayboy54 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The owners ARE the NFL. Why would the owners punish themselves? For some reason, they perceive what they do as the best way to increase income generation. We complain about Roger Goodell, but he is the go-between somewhere between the fans, the players union and the owners. He walks a slippery slope, as he tries to maximize popularity, increase revenue and appease the players union. Somewhere since Pete Rozell and before Roger Goodell, the owners lost touch with the golden goose, which is the fans. Free agency contributed to that. Then, exorbitant broadcasting contracts made them subservient to the networks. Lately, its become global expansion through corporate sponsorship. In the end, the fans' piece of the pie has become smaller and smaller. Its funny how greed blinds even great innovators. The golden goose has become so precariously small in the NFL's overall scheme, that they've completely lost tough with what got them to the dance. If the owners don't wise-up soon and see the errors in their ways, I can see a combination of the player's salaries and head injuries bankrupting a once glorious sport. All due to mismanagement and greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybee Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'll say it again to the cry-babies: Tom Brady was the 199th pick in the 2000 draft. He sat the bench year 1 behind Drew Bledsoe. He was also injured and missed the 2008 season. He's been a starter for 16 NFL seasons. He's been in the super bowl 8 of those 16 seasons. His team has been behind by 10 or more points in the 4th qtr 7 times. The Patriots are 3-4 in those games. The rest of the NFL is 3-70 in those games.His main weapon Rob Gronkowski was out of yesterdays game. Julian Edelman has been out for the season. Yet again with a cast of no-name receivers he was 26 of 38 and 2 touchdowns. He's not a jerk either. Seems a nice guy, and very smart. Yea, he married a Victoria's secret super model but wouldnt you if you were Tom Brady ? You can hate the Patriots (and I do) but you just cannot ignore the greatness that is Tom Brady. Rather than root for him to be injured (like the poorly parented fans at TBD do), just enjoy the show. When your grand-child asks you what was Tom Brady like ? Will you say he was the best ever? Will you say he sucked but the refs made his career ? I wont. I'll tell that kid I was proud to watch the best QB ever in the history of the National Football League. For the 2 or 3 years this 40 year old man has left in his career I will admire his excellence and you should too. There will never be another like him. Rant over.

ricko1112 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Every penalty call was legit, blatant even. We all know that NE is the most disciplined and well-coached team and the Pats are often at the top of teams with the fewest penalties. BB doesn't employ players who consistently hurt the team. Also, if you look at the penalties, there were no offensive holding calls for either team except the ST one on the Pats. Why is it so hard to believe that the Jags o-line can play penalty free, but not NE's? The refs allowed the teams to play last night by only calling flagrant violations. No tick-tack calls. It's often said that holding could be called on every play, but we tend to focus on the ones the "other" team makes. The whistle on the Lewis fumble though... I don't know. That was a bang bang play. Even in slo-mo replay it was difficult to tell when Lewis was down and if the Jags player was down by contact. The refs often blow the whistle in that situation.

Mat68 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 When Brady cant take advantage. Brady has been fantastic of taking the benfit of 50/50 penalty and turning them into 6. Many teams have gotten lucky penalties or bad calls the differance is Brady scores Tds when other teams get Fgs. You cannot play NE not to lose as well. All said and done up 3 55 secs left in first have why dont you try to get atleast a fg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the plan was to stop the Fournette (3yards/carry) and spy Bortles. Make him beat them with his arm. It seemed to work in the 2nd half when the Jags started playing conservatively. Actually, at the end of the 1st half by kneeling with 55 seconds told us all we needed to know about Marrone's faith in Blake. Still, it looked like he could have run for some chunks of yards a couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I didnt see any officials preventing the Jags from completing passes, opening up more holes in the run game, and rushing more than 4 guys in the 2nd half. The officials didnt allow the Pats Dline to sack Bortles. Watching the Jags in the second half was like watching the Bills play.....they couldnt do anything but hope time expires before Brady can throw another TD.
