Around the League - Week 13 (no Bills stuff in this thread please)

[BRH]

Apparently Fairbairn gets a couple of feet on either side of the goalposts.  Not the first time it’s happened.

That kick was good? NFW

[aristocrat]

Is this like a strike in baseball? Do the refs have their own idea of a fg? That did not look good

That Texans XP looked like a miss.  LOL.

Like so many OTHERS!

[Donuts and Doritos]

That Texans Xtra PT was a miss. That after missing the delay of game penalty on them & a phantom pass interference call on the Colts. Indy fans are right to be upset.

[BRH]

Love how they don’t show a replay, either.

Not a chance- ever!

 

How isn’t that replayable?

[ColoradoBills]

Panther with another long TD pass.

[Donuts and Doritos]

Wow, the explanation is who are you going to believe the Refs or your lying eyes. 

[Boatdrinks]

Heck of a play by Carolina 

[Draconator]

Panthers back in the lead

They did, after commercial.  I swear it looked wider than that live.

 

And is that the rule?  Inside the OUTSIDE edge of the upright?  Isn’t that a straight-up doink if it hits?

 

And why can’t there be appropriate laser/camera tech to leave no doubt?

I don’t wish injury on any player, but it’s hard to muster up much sympathy for Al-Shaair.

Yes, it's a weird rule.  One would think it would be the reverse of that.

I've never understood that.

I guess it’s like how in baseball if a ball hits the “foul” pole it’s a home run, even if the ball goes back on the field or into foul territory.  But if the ball hits the upright and doesn’t go through, it’s a miss, so it’s not remotely the same thing.

Iirc , Belichick was adamant about raising the goalpost height after losing on that rule to the Ravens. They did raise it, but there are no doinks above it.

jests-falcons 17-17 tie

[PonyBoy]

Lane Kiffin jumping ship once again.

What a shallow self absorbed DB!

These days you literally don’t even need goalposts.  Just two light beams from the ground, extending into infinity.

 

For a league that talks about safety as much as it does, that seems to be a no-brainer.
