I don't think he'd been dumb enough to try that on a regular official but I'm also of the mind circumstances wouldn't have gotten to the point he felt the need to do so if the regular refs were around.

Gotta coach better first.
The refs were maybe the worst ever (the game was already a mistrial before the final snap), but what still bugs me is McCarthy's goddamn ego.
6/7 in the box? Safeties running in the opposite direction at the snap? Small, quick defensive front 4 collapsing the pocket every play? LET'S KEEP PASSING!
Even when he made the adjustment to "maybe we should run sometimes" at halftime, he wouldn't go to the optimal solution of run the ball between the tackles every goddamn down. We'd run a few times, get 5-8 yards a pop, and then... go right back to passing. And half the runs were off tackle, where Seattle's defensive speed negated the whole idea. So, so frustrating. We have a great QB, and great receivers. But when the defense is giving you free yards, take them you fat asshole!
At this point our pass happy offense has been completely shut down for 4 games in a row. Hypotheses:
1) Rodgers suddenly sucks. The receivers suddenly suck! Cut everyone!
2) NFL defenses figured out how to stop the pass-pass-pass-pass-pass-pass offense.

Real question: How long do the replacement refs have to work before the real refs are considered replacement refs?
Meme's still calls air traffic controllers scabs.
What started all this? Today is the first day I've read about a Sapp/Marshall issue. I've missed something.
Ha, you might be onto something. All the contact by defenders that is not whistled in the backfield, that makes those pass-happy Os suffer a bit. It will take a while but everyone will adjust. I fully expect Pats and Packers to come back. Steelers prolly, too.

Sapp called Marshall a "retard." Don't know where though.
EDIT: Nevermind! Sapp's a dick.

Sapp called Marshall retarded. Marshall proceeded to shit all over Sapp for being a terrible human being.
I think it is a combo of things. First and foremost the protection is not there. Second, Rodgers seems to be looking downfield for the big play too much instead of checking off for the dumpoffs. Third, Rodgers doesn't seem to be as accurate as he was at the beginning of last year. He is not a bum, but he is slightly off on some throws (might be related to the protection) that were on point last year. Finally, bad coaching where the coaches show no willingness to adjust to the defense when things are not working.
From now on I just simplify this and say that Rodgers is just a system qb and can't succeed when the system breaks down. That is more fun to say and a lot less typing.

The Steelers offense has not been the problem.
It is out defense.
Packers and Pats just suck on offense. Will take a lot of adjustments to fix that problem.

Bill says that he's tried to get the ref's attention to clarify whether or not the FG was going to get reviewed because he didn't have a great angle of the kick. Apparently none of the refs told him anything.
I can see at the very least a 50k fine, but I wouldn't be surprised either way whether he gets suspended or not.

16. Pittsburgh 349
BTW the Steelers are averaging 65 yards per game on the ground. The lack of balance is going to be a problem for you guys.
Fuck your statistics. And ez told me you don't need a run game.
I have to give Haley props regarding the run game btw. Even though it sucks total ass he continues to stick to it and keep the defense honest.
Jesus.. had no idea we (Chiefs) were number one in total yards after 3 weeks... We're also probably near the bottom in points per game... bunch of fucking shit.

Agreed on pass pro and coaching. I think the big play / accuracy issues are symptoms, not causes.
and agreed about fraudgers, we should swap in Harrell.

"No relevance for the past".
Oh Warren your U education is showing.
I wonder if he's been hanging out with Finley.

Pretty much sums up the Rams WR issues. Gibson is their outside guy and Tillman ragdolls him as he tries to get off the LoS. Just can't beat press as a team. That said, within five yards, can DBs shove WRs in the back?
Look at that thuggish behavior. Tillman should be executed by firing squad for such an appalling display of dirty play.

I was just discussing this with my friend the other day. But how much do you think the officiating has affected passing in general this season? It seems like every game I've watched, refs are letting DB's get away with excessive holding and blatant contact down the field (whether you agree with it or not- this is stuff that regular refs would call). That's gotta really affect the timing of these passing offenses.

Jets sign RB Grimes off Texans practice squad. Guy can run and plays hard he was just the odd man out with Foster/Tate/Forsett there. Was hoping no one would notice him.

Looks pretty clean to me.
Being a responsible adult supersedes what you did in the league. Marshall's critique hit home.

I don't think this was the case last week, at least. I'm guessing the refs got some very specific instruction from the league to focus on defensive secondary penalties because every game I watched on Sunday and last night was filled with defensive holding, PI, and illegal contact calls (and many of them were awful calls).
Maybe the replacement refs aren't too bad.
The same as the chances the Patriots with Tom Brady lose 3 games straight.
Bills match up favorably in the trenches. Pats win the QB battle. Should be a close game if Fitz limits the mistakes.
Don't know if this was discussed but I caught of all people Snoop Lion on FirstTake and he made more sense than Reid did this past Sunday.
He mentioned how he coaches little league Football and he tells his players once you are within 5 yards of the endzone you run downhill and punch it in.
When fucking Snoop Lion can legitimately question your play calling you know you have a problem.
Also McCoy I love ya brah but STFU about Usi already. Fourth best DE on the Giants is like all-pro best DE on most teams. Not only that but they just won, ANOTHER, SB while you are getting 4 carries in the first half playing behind a baboon of a coach. Just please stfu and if anything go lobby for the ball so Reid doesn't forget you exist again.

If your WR gets gibbed by a push to the shoulder from a CB, I don't know what to say.
If the Pats secondary plays competently, the Bills have no reasonable expectation to win.
It'll still be a close game though

One of the dallas receivers stepped out of bounds. But not the one who tripped on the hat.

I expect the Pats to win.
He's from my hometown. He went to school with my brother during grade school. Wish him the best of luck with the Jets.
