Week 13 NFL Games

[Koma]

Yeah, that whole thing was ****ed up, I'd honestly be kinda surprised if it's not career-ending. You could make a pretty solid case that it's his 'fault' for having poor technique, but it feels weird to focus on that right now. It did remind me of the Reggie Brown hit in '97. Crazy that that was 20 years ago, one of the few plays from that time period that I still remember like it was yesterday.

Consider this stroll down memory lane as a diversion from tonight's game. Like a commercial break, if you will.

I remember a little bit of the Reggie Brown injury. From what I recall reading, if the medical response was slower or if they didn't correctly diagnose his injury, there was a real chance he could have died on the field. Fortunately, he survived and avoided being paralyzed.

The part of the story that sticks with me, though, is what happened with Texas A&M. Brown was in his first or second year in the NFL, so a decent amount of the players and coaches had played with Brown. They wanted to wear a patch or decal as a tribute to Brown in their bowl game, showing support for former teammate dealing with a serious injury. The NCAA said no because those patches were, according to their rules, supposed to be used for people who had passed away. Since Brown was still alive, they couldn't wear a patch for him. Out of touch bureaucracy at it's finest. As a compromise, the Texas A&M players wore a decal for Brown on their shoulder pads.

In spite of the refs they still get 3.

 

[BobDigital]

what should be 7 is now 3.... If the Bengals lose by 4 or less they will have a right to complain.

Still you can't just be allowed to lose cause you get a bad call in the 3rd. Up 10 with about 18:30 left. D needs to do a better job.

 

[PatsWSB47]

That would have sucked

 

[VegasGuy]

There were two holds in that replay

 

[Haterproof]

Jesus finally a call against the Squealers

 

[Charlotte Pats Fan]

Betcha this game gets chippy now

 

[Arialgg]

I sometimes hate how much I love football- I wish I could boycott games in protest of how atrocious the officiating is, but alas, my addiction is too strong.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

There is no way that the Bengals don't blow this.

 

[Love The Drake]

Tj Watts a douche

Another reason to dislike the Steelers

 

[BobDigital]

iffy penalty call? Announcers in full dmg control. There was another hold on that play too.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

announcer just got real on the air and called the refs out for that blatant BS lol

 

[Joey007]

This is why I love Sean McDonough. The only play by play guy with enough guts to call out ****ty officiating.

Are we watching the same game?

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

They are going to convert

 

[BobDigital]

Are we watching the same game?

I am talking more about the other uncalled hold on that play. I didn't get the number but it was on someone on the left side. That one probably should have been the one called. I'll try to find a video of it and find the number.

I agree as I saw it too

I dunno, Tomlin isn't the most competent coach out there.

They just might

I just hope they at least last till I die.
