The 2015/2016 NFL Thread v. yfw da jest win da superb owl

We'll stick with the present day logo to give them the credit they deserve. They were the much better team today, without a doubt. Congrats.
 
What pisses me off is that the Bills had 2 touchdowns called back on penalties that were terrible calls. You know they're bad when it's a national game(so the announcers aren't local to Buffalo) and they say they were bad calls.

You tell me this was a chop block on Tyrod's 35-yard TD pass that got called back: https://vine.co/v/e2iWOr20g2l

The other one was a phantom holding call that brought back Tyrod's 30 yard scramble TD. Terrible officiating today.
 
That was a shit call but I'll take it. Think it was called on Incognito so maybe that has something to do with it.
 
This holding call that negated our other TD was fucking bullshit too. Dude comes in and angles his body so one of the offensive linemen's hands is pushing on his back and then he falls. The Bills player even pulled his hands up immediately to show he didn't pull the guy down: https://vine.co/v/e2iOtBXmrEX

That's 14 points we were completely robbed of. As badly as the Bills played today they still should have found themselves in a tie game in the 4th quarter.
 
That one I could see why they called it. Dont know what official called it or where they were located but it does look like he got pulled down. Good acting I guess. You're probably right it wasn't a hold but shit happens. Unfortunately it also was a TD for you.
 
I'm not one to blame penalties for a loss. That's lame. The Giants absolutely deserved to win that game.

But man, having two bad calls on two TD plays is enough to infuriate anyone. It basically took away the possibility of "The Bills sucked today but they still could have won because this is the NFL and crazy stuff happens all the time."
 
GM... good teams lose because of bad calls.. Chapion teams play well enough to win despite bad calls.

FK the refs and the calls.. way to big a part of the game at this point... should go to a card system like world football.
 
The Bills definitely played bad enough today that they left no margin for error. You can only overcome critical bad calls when you play well enough to have that wiggle room. The Bills didn't do that today. They should be embarrassed with how they played at home.

I've been wanting the NFL to make penalties reviewable for a couple years now. Limit them just like coach's challenges so teams aren't challenging every penalty called, but at least give them one or two opportunities to challenge game-defining calls. The whole reason TDs are now automatically reviewable is because they have such a big impact on the game. I would argue that penalties on TD plays or pass interference calls late in the game have just as large an impact on the outcome of the game. I see no reason why teams shouldn't be able to throw the red flag at least once a game on them.
 
I think pass interference definitely should be reviewable. Only scoring and turnovers may have more of an impact and would give a little back to the neutered defenses. I really couldn't see all penalties being reviewed as dead ball fouls would be next to impossible to determine a proper outcome and no way the NFL will allow any unsportsmanlike conduct to be reviewed.
 
so funny seeing Miami llooe lol!
b4 the gamee i didn't even know they were plaing the Jets, i chucked a heap on the Jets 'cause Miami Dolphins are TERRIBLE LOL GG
 
Miami is by far the most surprising team to me except for maybe the Saints this season. With the talent Miami has I expected them to be a MUCH better team. So far, they might literally be the worst team in the league. Even teams like the Raiders and Jags are showing some fight.

Ndamukong Suh needs to be expelled from the league. In this day in age where we're all at risk of the NFL becoming irrelevant because of the all the new concussion data coming to light, parents aren't going to want their kids playing peewee football. Which means less kids playing in college, highchool, then the NFL. He's the only player I can think of that legitimately wants to hurt other players. His kick to Fitzpatrick's head today cemented my belief that he needs to be removed from the game entirely. The NFL is violent enough without vindictive athletes trying to harm other players. Kid has all the talent in the world but will go down in NFL history as the most notorious players of the past 50 years.
 
I am still steaming over the Eagles season so far. Our offense looks unbelievably bad. We had like 46 yards in the first half today against the fucking redskins! I was Chips biggest supporter this offseason but its been a failure. He has to go. The experiment needs to end and the rebuild begin. It needs to start on the Oline and at QB. Bradford fucking sucks. The Rams fleeced us bad with that trade fiasco. Christ what a fucking moron chip is.
 
I've been pretty disappointed in the Eagles so far this season. Besides my own team, I was looking forward to watching them the most. I was expecting great things that have yet to materialize.
