BERTBALL IS LIFE
NFL pi being a spot foul is so brutal at the end of close games. Refs just gave Denver a field goal with a 50 yard penalty on a sort of iffy call.

Wow… just brutal for Denver. Those last couple passes looked like they were just floated up there. They had nothing on them. I thought they looked kinda funny during the game, but I guess I thought he was just trying to get a PI… which obviously would have been a good plan… I can’t imagine how conflicting the feelings were in that locker room when the news broke.
White was clearly early and never got turned around. Nix throwing a rainbow off one leg probably threw his timing off just enough…
The play that White got flagged for PI on did not look that different, to me, from the play in which the Denver DB got the interception (snatching the ball from the Buffalo receiver as they rolled on the ground). In both plays the DB ran into the receiver with their arms in the air and without looking back.
Again, I have not horse in this race (I honestly did not care who won), but the refs definitely were much more liberal with their flags when it was to Denver's benefit.
I got depressed watching Seattle play last night.
maybe he needs to start wearing the guardian cover. they look a little goofy, but I think they help with that
Crazy how much the little things matter in football. Texans should be up 14-7 instead it's a 7-3 deficit.
Had a TD called back for illegal shift which takes off 4 points.
But should at minimum be up 10-7 as the guy has a fumble right in front of him, inside the 5, but can't recover.
Instead it's a 7-3 Pats.

The brain is the most valuable part of a human. Look goofy if you have to. If everyone wore one they wouldn't be goofy anymore.
Can't throw 4 picks in a half.

I would like to see PI handled the same way as college football with the max penalty of 15 yards.

Maybe Houston could cough it up a few more times.
I know that. But with Nantz, it was more about pointing out that playing at altitude wouldn't affect Allen like it would others since Wyoming's stadium is about 2000 feet higher above sea level than Mile High.
Sean McDermott out in Buffalo.
the quick hook on experienced coaches has hit the pros just like it hit college
98-50 is apparently no longer good enough. Tough to win without receivers and unable to control what is going on in your quarterbacks head in pressure moments on the field. Guess the next coach needs to install dog shocker on Allen to not make dumb mistakes, or fumble. Especially when a couple of them looked intentional

Quick hook? McDermott was in year nine
I agree, but not sure how to fix it. Sometimes in college football, the DB knows he’s beat and just grabs the receiver. In that case, 15 seems too little.
Perhaps something along the lines of blatant interference is a spot foul and everything else is 15
Of course, now you’re deeper into judgment calls and even more controversy. I just hate to see games decided by 50/50 pass interference calls that move the ball 30-plus yards.
The AFC bracket broke so well for the Bills this year with no Mahomes, Burrow, and Lamar. Getting knocked out in the divisional round meant someone had to fall on the sword.
no one needs to hold a tag day for him. They were jobbed a that "interception" call tho
he'll be working again soon enough
the Bills fans do deserve a Super Bowl winner more than anyone

I know what you mean in college. Maybe it could be a time driven thing. In the last 5 minutes it's a 15 yarder. Before that it's a spot foul. Kind of awkward but it sucks to see what was a great game decided by a pretty ticky tack 45 yard penalty at the end. Buffalo had several chances but still a bad way to go out.I agree, but not sure how to fix it. Sometimes in college football, the DB knows he’s beat and just grabs the receiver.
