NFL 2017

The guy is untouched, breaking the plane of the goal line (which he does prior to hitting the ground) and somehow bobbles the ball as he hits the turf.

It's so difficult to lose like that, it absolutely sucks. Given my druthers, I would prefer a beat down rather than heartache.

I thought it was a good game despite the installation of the horseshoe, Gronk was on a roll. It was all about the home field advantage anyways.

Well, you’re in the minority.

Both Namce and Romo were incredulous on the broadcast about the overturn.

But, my point was more about Patriot luck.

Very fortunate for the Pats I’d hope you would agree.

The Pats are lucky, no argument from me on that one (sometimes they even make their own luck). The angle I saw the play from wouldn't allow me to see if he broke the plane before the knee was down, it looked simultaneous to me and he didn't have control. If he did break the plane first, it should be ruled a touchdown. There was a similar call in a game last week and the call was the same. Obviously this is a bigger deal because of the two teams involved.

Isn't that a newer rule? At first I thought it was good.

Yes it is.

I like the rule if it’s called 100% of the time.

Yesterday’s ruling was correct by definition, but it sure sucks when it happens to your club.

We had a TD taken away last week in Carolina with the exact same thing. Control, feet down, in the end zone, then the receiver hits the ground and ball bobbles, but never touches the ground, and it’s ruled incomplete.

I thought there was one last week. I couldn't remember who it happened to.

Adam Thielen.

Great catch, but didn’t maintain complete control through the contact with the ground.

Chuck Foreman literally just walked right past me at my local community rec center.

Wow!

[Duchess]

I had to google him. I guess you didn't think to stick out your hand or saying anything, did you?

When I was a 10 year old, my favorite Vikings were Foreman, Tarkenton and John Gilliam.

Today I was thinking he probably gets people stopping him all the time, so I’d just let him do what he was doing.

I feel like I’ll probably see him there again (he was doing a light workout).

Hey MS, the Packers put Aaron on IR. Don't you play them this weekend?

Wow!

That’s really good news.

My team has the best record in the NFL and the so called experts have them sitting at #7. Those muthafuckas can kiss my ass. We never get any respect.

Which site has the Eagles @ #7?

[Duchess]

Which site has the Eagles @ #7?

I'm looking for it now.

[Duchess]

I can't find it in my mail. They had the Vikings, Steelers, Patriots, Rams, Panthers and someone else all picked above my team. I don't find fault with any of those teams, credit where due and all that but c'mon! Having the best record should count for something other than 7^th place.

[Midwest Spy]

My Top 10 right now:

1. Pats
2. Steelers
3. Squeagles
4. Vikes
5. Rams
6. Saints
7. Jaguars
8. Panthers
9. Cowboys
10. Falcons

Dammit!

I was just jinxed, the only thing that fixes it is cashews or pistachios either one will do.

[Midwest Spy]

I’ll definitely take a win on the road in December against our arch rival no matter how ugly it looked.

12-3 with a shot at securing a 1sr Round bye next week.
