Interesting observation by Hurley

Obviously nothing, but fitting nonetheless:

It is just Twitter.

I'm still wondering why they're playing prevent defense with over 2 minutes to go.

 

[h0c2000]

The ref told rhamondre turnovers don't count after the clock hits 0:00.

 

[FCB02062]

yes, am I imagining things but we're the corners up right on downs 1-3....then on 4th and 10 they were way off? then way off on the 1st down play and another easy 15 yarder.....just doesn't make sense

Nice spot

So if it’s “just Twitter” and this is meaningless, why did someone bother to seek, find, and follow the other 31 team accounts, but not the Patriots?

You don’t follow the other 31 teams by accident, or stumble in that. There was a conscious, deliberate effort to follow all of the official accounts of NFL member teams … except one. In context, it’s absolutely meaningful.

Is there any doubt Troy Vincent is the one in charge of managing that account? I don’t think it’s a stretch to say the league’s review room is corrupt and I have little doubt Vincent is the guy spearheading it.

It could be that the Pats blocked them.

After drunk_patriots posted that last night I found it odd to say the least and went to look for myself. He was correct but that wasn't the only thing there worth noting. The Niners avatar denotes them as '2022 NFC West Champs', I could get Irsay's Colts doing something silly like that but a franchise like the Niners crowing over a division championship struck me as a bit unseemly.

While that could be it seems unlikely. Maybe it's just me but I think that would involve Krafty Bob displaying a much bigger set when it comes to dealing with the league office than he ever has before. Certainly, other than perhaps Jonathan, no one in the Pats front office would block a league twitter account without RKK's blessing.

It's just Twitter.

I won't get into the conspiracies, but from the get-go this season, the officiating has not been favorable to us. Maybe it just stands out more because we're a so-so team, but it has seemed outrageous at times.

If it’s “just Twitter”, why is the NFL using “just Twitter” to host the official account for the review booth, which is used to disseminate formal information/explanations about their product?

Saying “it’s just Twitter” is like saying “it’s just a newspaper”, or “it’s just the radio”, or “it’s just TV”. It’s a modern form of media that is used to communicate information.
Either it’s all relevant, or it’s all irrelevant. I’ll go with the former, personally.

Nah, only 7% of Americans use Twitter. 99% of homes in America have a TV. People who use Twitter all the time assume that everyone uses as much as they do and that's just not the case.

That Raiders out of bounds TD was egregious. I didn’t consider that it would not be overruled.

I don't think they were.

I think what you saw was how horrifically bad David Carr is, he had a ton of open guys throughout the 2nd half, and for some reason just chose to throw bomb after bomb.

I'd say our CBs were totally undermanned without Jack Jones and Jalen Mills. Myles Bryant and Shaun Wade were not up to the task. Raiders WRs were open on nearly every play.

It was only on the last drive that Carr screwed his head on right.

Of course, they also got lucky on the TD because Marcus Jones did everything he could there.

For me it's the total imbalance in offensive holding and PI calls

Scheduling for 2022 has been brutal. Not in terms of difficulty of competition but days

I'm telling you - when the NFL replay office tells us that we don't see what everyone sees, the fix is in. This was just blatant. It was obvious to everyone that the receiver's foot was out of bounds.

BTW - watch the replay again of the Raiders' Mack Holland 2nd TD "catch" last night. At no point "going to the ground" did he have control. He bobbled it all the way down to the ground and then when he went to get up, he bobbled it out of his hands. This was more movement and an actual drop than Hunter Henry's catch against the Vikings. Yet the announcers never even commented on the bobbles while "going to the ground" and the NFL replay review rubber-stamped it.

I agree, I wanted them to replay that one with close-ups because I saw the bobble. The announcer kept saying what a great catch it was. I have no doubt gambling influences the NFL and the only remedy i can think of is play well enough (ie no stupid mistakes) to overcome the cheating by refs/league.
