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.

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.

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

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

35-11

49ers are solid….but if Bosa is hurt they aren’t nearly as dangerous

I vaguely remember a story like that of the wrong FT shooter slipping by the refs!  The first adjective that comes to my mind of seeing Burrow play basketball was smooth, the 2nd is effortless.  That 2013 team, when Iby was a freshman, ended up losing to Warren in OT in the regional SF, and Warren lost in the regional final.  It would have been interesting to have seen what would have happened had Iby not transferred.

Correction:  Warren went on to win the regional vs New Philly and be the only public school in the state final 4.  In 2014 Warren knocked out Athens in the sectional final at Logan high school.

Lol at Cowboys

Cowboys typical foible, clock management.  Why not take two shots into the end zone from the 41 yd line rather than take a big chance for getting just one chance from the 24 yd line?

4 punts in 7 minutes. Exciting. 

I didn’t see end of Cowboys game but Twitter seems torn between why was the ref so out of position to spot the ball before time expired vs lol at Cowboys playcalling.

Dak should’ve given him the ball….he was hauling towards the play, doubt he expected the sneak. 

Well, still a game so far.  Not sure how.  Still can't believe this offense.

T.J. Watt

Man alive what a player

Dionte Johnson is the anti T.J. Watt

2 huge drops on 3rd down for would be 1st downs and then stopped on a deep ball

Will be criminal if he doesn't get DPOY.  Should have had the sack record, too, but obscure rule took it away.

This offense is what you get when you play small ball and you can barely make it a series without a penalty, missed block, wrong route, drop or missed throw.
