My team was almost robbed a win because of a different ref gently caress up.


Like I know the news going around is that those zebras ain't going to be doing poo poo in the playoffs but if they've got a track record of fuckups send em down to peewee and let some 6 year old's mom replace em on staff. Could it get any worse?

I stand by my claims that while everyone remembers the fail Mary by the replacement refs, the exact same play could have easily happened with the regular refs and this Cowboys/Lions game is a pretty great example of that being the case.

Had that bullshit tripping call decided the game like it almost did, there would be zero sympathy because "lolcowboys." So frankly, I don't give a poo poo. I hate the refs, always have and I always will, across all sports, and that's a far better way to live than only giving a poo poo when they rob your team of their ref-dependent misdirected receiver trick play.

While finding those drive stats I noticed some wild stats:

- Dallas has scored offensive points on 49.7% of drives this year; since it doesn't mention any exclusions, I assume that includes end-of-half/game kneeldowns, so they're putting up points on more than half of their "true" drives.

- San Fran, Philly, Baltimore, and Miami all cluster around the 45% value; I wonder how much of Dallas' sizable lead is due to Brandon Aubrey having a stellar year;

- The Jets, Giants, and Pats are all in the 20-25% range. The punters deserve additional compensation imo.

Pointless Trivia Question Time:

Every team has had at least 161 drives this season, and all teams average between 10 and 13 offensive drives per game.

Which teams end a drive with a turnover most/least frequently?

pre:
Tm.   T.O.%

If you didn't give a poo poo, you wouldn't be going "B-B-B-B-BUT THE TRIPPING! GUYS, THE TRIPPING! REMEMBER THE TRIPPING?" in the first place. Be as insecure as you want about a ref-assisted victory, just have the common decency to be honest about it.

I'm bringing it up because Lions fans have not shut the gently caress up about it for days and I'm extremely tired of hearing about it. It wouldn't have even made a difference had the Eagles not poo poo their pants in hilarious fashion.

Refs bad, I'm truly sorry they cosmicly find ways to poo poo specifically on the Lions when they play in Dallas.

Blame the NFL for releasing a terrible, incomprehensible video about it instead of letting it go.

My brother in Christ. They already had a horrible call literally decide a conference title game 5 years ago and it's only gotten worse since then. It's already "blown up" and nothing happened.
