There's nothing to complain about with that TD. Well technically they got the tuck rule call right by the rule on the books at the time. I suppose you agreed with that as well.

Well then stop reading and posting in it if its so terrible. When normal people read something they think is terrible, they stop reading and move on. You have to be a special kind of strange to spend your Christmas morning posting in a thread on a message board that you think is terrible. Merry Christmas!

Hellcamino Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Still Christmas eve to me here in SoCal. Just been waiting to put out Santa gifts before going to bed.

row_33 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Curling is big in Canada when we win, but lately that hasn’t been happening, with poor sportsmanship by the women’s Olympic team to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 21 hours ago, Hellcamino said: It kinda is arguable. Was Foster down on the ground? Nope. But since his forward progress was stopped, he was ruled down. Nobody yet has explained how Edelman sitting on his ass with his feet up in the air Should not be considered forward progress stopped. There is no way on earth for him to be moving forward with only his butt sitting on a leg. Maybe he had some bad mexican food for lunch and had extreme gas that was propelling him? Defending the Refs and their against all laws of physics interpretation of what forward motion means is the only bogus thing here. Except neither of those happened. Forward progress stopping is announced when the ref blows the whistle. And obviously he wasn't ruled down, because he wasn't downed by the defender. Move on.

The Foster play was blown dead because there was a defender impeding his progress for a long enough period to blow the play dead. Edelman's progress was never impeded. It's really not complicated.

I said his forward progress was stopped. I didn't say how it was announced. and unless you are stupid, You know exactly what I meant by being ruled down. There is no need to twist words and be a condescending jackass. All I posted was that I didn't like the way a rule is being enforced. I am allowed to not like something. If you don't agree, then YOU move on. btw Kelso was losing his mind over this as well. He's played in SB's. But I guess like me, He must be too dumb to understand the rules enough to be able to form an opinion on if one them is flawed. But thanks to a couple experts here, we all now know the truth. The rule is perfect, The Refs enforce it perfectly, It's the Bills and their coaching that sucks. And if you don't agree with that, you are an idiot. Thanks guys! You've convinced me.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) The game has become electric football, pure chaos: Enjoy watching the same big market teams every year make lots of $$$$ for the players and NFL. The game is unwatchable, let it go. So much needs to be fixed, it ain't funny. This doesn't mean I agree with the OP. I don't agree, I think the calls were okay... But I get the OP's purist, idealistic argument. Yet... The refs are crooked, inconsistent, game way too complicated... Too much technology, too many cameras, etc... So who really cares? Why rack your brain trying to care, you won't make a difference. Again, the game has simply become unwatchable, a farce. What's so hard to understand? Just try and give as least money as you physically can to the NFL while enjoying the parts of the game you are able to. Ie: Follow the game for other reasons, you simply won't be able to watch it like you should. When the wind starts to blow in your face, you can struggle and try to head up into it... OR you can adjust your sails and tack around. This topic is a non-issue. The refs are severely tainted. More rules won't make the refs less arbitrary. This isn't some grand conspiracy. The NFL game is just played, from the rules side, like a rudderless ship. IE: "Electric Football." Enjoy the electric football for the chaos it is. And if you have the nerves of steel go ahead and attempt the impossible... Pass that little foam football that comes with the electric football game! LMAO [SIDENOTE: Did anybody ever get those games to work half way decent? We got one for Christmas as Children, I think the thing went back in the box after 10 minutes...LoL] Edited December 26, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Hockey 3D action games were much more enjoyable compared to football. Football also doesn’t translate stat-based sim games effectively with a card for each player, as compared to the perfection of baseball sims. As if stats can recreate a football game...

It’s a bogus complaint all around Many fans blame the Bills woes for two decades on a conspiracy.

I figured out how to kill the NFL, you order Sunday ticket but don't watch the games on Sunday. You just watch the replay of the game on Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games are the light common link. I will follow online... Or either go to the games for the party, tailgating... Camaraderie. I still follow the home team for the sole purpose of seeing if the Home can stick it up the crooked League's azz one day. Come on... Are we really this duped? I buy low and sell high. That's all. Just now, Call_Of_Ktulu said: I figured out how to kill the NFL, you order Sunday ticket but don't watch the games on Sunday. You just watch the replay of the game on Tuesday. How about not watch at all, just follow online. Nobody pay. Get Sirius, listen while doing other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
