2021-22 NFL Playoffs thread

And NFL confirms that TD shouldn’t have counted. Don’t think Vegas wins anyway, but yeah, you can’t reward a play when the whistle fucking blows. Boger and his crew are so bad.

That’s a real slippery slope. Whistle clearly happened before catch. I agree it didn’t matter, but I don’t think that can be a judgement ruling. That’s gotta be a black and white rule which would’ve meant no TD.

The appropriate outcome happened regardless.

Refs for 3+ years have held their whistle while QB’s have thrown the ball 15-20 yards and defensive guy picks it up and runs for a TD while the world is just wondering if it’s actually real or not, knowing it can’t be. What’s the purpose of blowing your whistle at all when a QB runs out of bounds?…why be quick with it?

It was going to be a TD regardless. Boyd didn’t have the separation he did because of the whistle a half second before the ball hits his hands. It would have been more infuriating had the TD not counted because a dumbfuck blew his whistle. I’m also not going to care because the Joey Porter incident from 2016 still pisses me off.

It was 3rd and 4…..Bengals very well could’ve had the same outcome 

And the Steelers had around 21 seconds left so they could’ve too

The Raiders got every other questionable call. It evens out

Their holdings murdered them.

Hopefully next round all has good crews but that seems mathematically impossible

Every one was legit.  

The phantom timeout changed the end of the game.

I didn’t watch most of the game. I did see that call. My point is there is a clear black and white rule. How the refs fucked it up is insane, only Boger. You can say the right outcome resulted, and I agree. But the rule is clear…it should not have counted. The whistle blew. The Bengals benefited immensely from that.

I just have no issue with them huddling up, knowing they eff’d up and making up their reason to make it the way it should have resulted….basically making two wrongs to get a right

Until it happens to your team. It is a clear rule. There is no judgement in if a whistle blew or not.

That is correct. Do the Raiders have a legitimate beef for the bad call? Of course. Do they and their fans have a legitimate claim that it cost them the game? They do not. Throwing an interception in the field of play on a tie or die play gives them no excuse. The team that played better won the game.

What if someone in the crowd blows a whistle? They’d have to be close to the front row. I swear something like that happened a few years ago.

No…I want what’s fair. My wife asked me who I was rooting for and I word for word said “I really don’t care I just don’t want one team getting the majority of the calls”….I want the best team to win that day.

If I was a Raiders fan and holding my hopes and then gripes on that…..I’m just being desperate, like many fans are…..if I’m a Raiders fan I’m ticked at the holdings, false starts and man down field that all seemed to take away big plays or likely first downs….that’s what I’d be mad about.

Funny Joe Burrow high school story that Superman and mhs95 probably recall

During basketball season he was teamed up with his talent tight ends Adam and Ryan Luerhman (twins) they and Joe were all right at 6’3, similar build snd blonde hair. At a basketball game at Lucasville vs Valley it was a tight game in the 4th and while all 3 were very good basketball players Ryan Luerhman was struggling with free throws…..so as Luerhman gets fouled at a big moment late in the 4th Burrow stepped up to the line and shot the free throws for him fooling the refs, coaches and fans….initially. As he knocked the first one down everyone started to realize that cared but too late as Burrow already had ball and buried the 2nd….the Valley crowd lost their minds, and the game.

Lol, that’s good. 

We had a kid who was 6’6, but a tennis player and not very skilled. But, at 6’6 he started for us. Got fouled late in a tie game and asked if I could shoot the FTs for him lol. He wasn’t totally aware of the rules being from Iran.

I’m not sure he didn’t do that a few other times during the season. Before you really knew Joe and you watched Athens play…..those 3 all looked like the same player. The twins went on to be tight ends at OU. They had a guard that played football at Northwestern and another kid off bench that played college football…….had Ibi Watson (Michigan, Dayton, G league) not transferred to Pickerington after his sophomore year…..Burrow may have won State as a basketball player.

Crazy the talent Little Athens High School had because of OU football assistant coaches. Burrow, Luerhmans, and I believe both stud running backs

Eagles are pushing the Patriots for the worst playoff team/performance…..hoping the Steelers don’t say “hold my beer”

Brady with his 35th playoff win

Insane
