all of those games were insanely boring, i didnt even look at the list my eyes just glazed over and i had thoughts of the endless hell that is the same nfc east primetime game thats on every single week, the weeks between being a sort of halftime where everyone convinces themselves the poo poo they just consumed was not, infact poo poo but High Quality Steak and then hypes themselves up for the next bucket of poo poo to scorf down, and maybe reminisce about how awful Great all those other terrible games were. bad teams playing badly but in a way that ends up with a lot of points just isnt exciting and never will be

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

Niners couldn't hit for poo poo against Manziel. His curveball was nasty that day.

Also the NFL flagging Davis' TD celebration (the jumpshot) when they've literally used it in commercials and highlight packages is some next level bullshit.

Sometimes egregiously uncalled penalties occur.

I feel you though, seems like every time a catch it made or not made, a CB or a WR is looking at a line judge pantomiming throwing a flag.

I think this is more the rules' fault than the players' fault, really

There's so many ticky tack things that can be called that players are conditioned to expect a flag on a big catch or no-catch (especially if the Packers are involved :v:), might as well look to the ref right away to see if a flag is gonna come out

Calling for a flag is no different than when receivers come up pretending they caught the ball when everyone knows it hit the ground, or when sideline players/coaches insist a catch was in/out when it was easily out/in. Do everything you can to win as long as it isn't illegal

You would think the refs would be wise to that, then I remember a ref awarding a fumble to a team in a scrum while the ball was clearly being held in the air by a player not even in the scrum.

The only thing that bothers me more than players whining for a flag is when there's a fumble or false start and all the players on both teams start pointing. What the gently caress are you doing? The refs don't care which team is pointing more.

I don't necessarily think it's all due to the celebration rules but it feels like there's something out of place leaguewide
