Isn't that the standard reaction to every grey area and loophole Bill figures out?
Whine to get it banned while copying it at the same time?
Well, isn´t this kind of a competitive necessity?

Who's that? The quarterback? lol he's not even the biggest ego on this team, let alone all of sports. Calm down
Carrying the bats pre-game is something the Panthers have done almost every game this season. That isn't something that they just came up with this week because they wanted to punk Odell Beckham Jr. Is it unneccessary? Yeah. Is it a bit silly? Sure. Should they be on the opposing sideline waving them around like a gang looking to collect on a debt? ABSOLUTELY NOT and Ron Rivera needs to shut that down right now.
As for words that may have been said pre-game, I can definitely believe that Norman/Finnegan and others used homophobic slurs towards OBJ. This is a league predicated on men doing vile and despicable things to each other physically (there is a movie named Concussion coming out in less than a week for a reason) every day, it's not exactly a stretch to think they would say vile and despicable things towards one another. And I'm not going to condone that behavior. If it's true, it's disgusting, there's no place for it in the NFL or society at large and they should be punished for it.
But that's hardly justification for OBJ to completely melt down for the first 50 minutes of the game. Maybe to be amped up to make a statement at the start, not to continue being out of control throughout. And it's a damn shame if I'm a Giants fan, because the only player stopping Odell Beckham Jr. in that game was Odell Beckham Jr.. Him losing his mind cost them the game and possibly a chance at the playoffs.

It's come down to this.. PD vs Me for the Freeman in the Taco Bell League.
Time to bring a fake championship to the Cleve.

I'm so losing to PD, the man somehow keeps winning. It's down to Kave to bring one home. Come on Kave.
A pick play isn't a loop hole or grey area. It's an illegal play which everyone is using because it's just not called consistently.
Look at the Steelers TD posted. A Crossing route but with the TE slamming into the LB covering the WR's crossing route more than a yard from the LOS before the ball is released. Text book definition of a pick. Now I have a bit of sympathy in this situation for the Refs because it has little to no impact on the result of the play so to my mind it would be a somewhat pointless flag, but the two routes over the middle are pretty much a textbook pick
This isn't a Patriots thing, Sean Peyton's offense has a lot of it and has done so for years, Gase's Bronco's offense used them a lot, as did Peyton Manning's offense in Indy. It's a reliable way to get folks open especially if you have good slot WR's and good TE's, and it's rarely called, you'd be a fool not to use them. But this year it's just constant across the entire league. Maybe that's because a lot more teams are trying to use more man coverage due to bigger CB's coming into the league, or maybe it's just one of those things.
Yep. And that's a far worse hit than Beckham's because despite Beckham's being an out of control cheap head shot, it wasn't actually late. Wallace's is an out of control cheap head shot well after the player is down and the play is over.
Now no problem for Beckham getting suspended for his body of work during the game, but the NFL can give the player safety and sanctimonious bullcrap a rest. Wallace is a guy who gave an opponent an on the field prostrate exam so he has prior.

Kave doesn't deserve that, but he doesn't not deserve it either.

Nah only the Patriots are flagged for it.

Lafell called for an opi at the line of scrimmage when a defensive end ran went to chip him, which left James White open for a 70 yard play.

So apparently if the Chiefs, Jets and Steelers win out and the Broncos lose one game, the Beoncos miss out on the playoffs entirely. Sad thing is, it could very well happen.
Bring back Jim Bob Cooter!

I'm sorry Mech but Tank Commander Campbell cannot be stopped. The quest for a top 5 pick marches on.
Okay now I think you guys win

Dolphins o-line sucks even when everyone is healthy. But consider this:
1. C Pouncey, out
2. LT Albert, out
3. RT James, out
Those are the three above average guys. Some dude named Ulrich John came in to play LT last game. ULRICH JOHN.
If Tannehill makes it through this season without dying he deserves a complementary Super Bowl ring.
This thread needs Brandon Weeden in the playoffs. The QB NFL GAF deserves
Do it for BG!
So many scenarios that can still play out.
Broncos are as close to the 2 seed as they are to being eliminated from the playoffs. Weird situation.
The reason he did that is the Broncos took a (legal) cheap shot at Brown at the end of the play. He then came in and cleaned up the pile in retaliation.
The old football guys believe in this stuff. No way he gets suspended.
Atleast Brees got his records!!

Seeing the Star Wars, early bird special with my fellow olds.
May the force be with you friend!
I think im going to see it a 2nd time tonight as its 50% off day at my local theater
Brown was still fighting for yards. Legal tackle by Jackson to finish the play. Hardly a cheap shot.

So wait... are Broncos fans rooting for The Patriots this weekend!?
I think there is some blame to go on the refs... Totally blame OBJ more (obviously) as the guy actually using his helmet as a weapon, but the refs fucked up by not wanting to flag and toss two super stars early in the game.
OBJ is getting his though. He's taken himself out of the most important game for the Giants season (assuming his appeal is dealt quickly and suspension holds up -- which it better or this league is fucked), he'll be out of the game and the Giants will lose and miss the playoffs.
I said it was legal but cheap.
As I recall it Brown was wrapped up and he came in to finish off the play and get in an easy cheap shot.
That's what prompted the reaction.
