Football is killing the players we appreciate.
Every play has multiple penalties and the acknowledgement of them is completely arbitrary.

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
Good god lafleur is an awful second half coach. Completely unable to adjust. His scripted plays are spectacular though, so it's really frustrating to watch. Hes a total tease. Like heres what we could be moving the ball at will scoring left and right and then the half hits and whoops I've become a pumpkin better hope the defense doesnt poo poo itself.

I'm trying to think of another coach that was seemingly pretty decent to open the game and completely and totally inept at the end. How many weeks does it take to bring it together for a full game. What does the offensive coordinator do to help? What's that weird smell from that fat guys bellybutton? Who knows?

LaFleur is less to blame than Pettine. The defense got gashed all night.

Also, every NFL fan should be bitching about the clear PI that wasn't called after being challenged. It was as textbook as it gets.

Not that it would make Packers fans happy (understandably) but I'd prefer if they just said 'we think maybe he missed the whistle and was doing that gang tackling thing with an intent to hurt but not injure and we don't think he'll do it again.'

Seems like it'd be closer to the truth at least. I suppose that or 'we can't legislate this because have you ever seen how late dudes come in on every special teams play?'

I'd be fine with a suspension but since he has no priors I understand if they want to just fine him. it should be a big one though. also he definitely should have been ejected

...you forget so easily...
There's no reason to not eject offending players after any injury that gets a guy carted off the field. It would help mitigate retaliation and games getting ugly in the second half or final quarter. It would also make it seem like the NFL gave two shits about the safety of any non-QB players.

Reviews must be regular speed only, they get 3 camera angles to view and can only view each once.

Find someone who values you like Rick Spielman values 7th round picks.



I look forward to next year when they try to clarify what PI is, make it even more obtuse, then 2 years from now remove replay and go back to the old definition.

I agree, that scoop and score should have stood

yes, Wentz was clearly down, and I do feel the refs made the right call to let the play continue and reverse it when they can get a better angle

I absolutely hate when the achievements by incredible world class talents fail due to the incompetence of some middle aged shlubs, so replay is good.

But the PI review is bad because it's just coaches fishing for D/OPI calls, it should be taken out of their hands and assigned to replay officials who apply a "you're loving blind" standard who call down and have blatant PI overturned.

NFL only fans will fight you to the death on this like it will make the game totally unwatchable if you limited it to 15 yards.

It becomes an issue of incentive. If it's not a spot foul, you just interfere anytime you get burned past 15 yards and dare the ref to throw a flag. NFL DBs will interfere to save a TD for 15 yards with frequency.

Make it 20 yards then. That's like 2 1st downs. One yard line if in the red zone.
