NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Saturday Week 17 Games: Texans@Chargers, Ravens@Packers

[BobDigital]

Hate to see a game decided on a call like that. Particularly for such an important game.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

That pretty much confirms Denver as the 1 seed, Chargers will sit Herbert next week and likely be the 7 seed

We beat the Jets and Dolphins and we're gonna be playing the Chargers unless the Bills lose twice, we can't play Houston now if we win both.

 

[n1997y]

Zebras give Houston the win.

That should be a no-call.

 

[n1997y]

What a ****ing crock. Illegal contact shouldn’t be an automatic first.

That shouldn’t be called illegal contact.

 

[farn]

Both teams have made plenty of errors that should cost a team in the playoffs.

 

[festy1986]

I'm beyond done with the league. You can call a penalty on every play and by the letter of the law be totally within your rights of doing it.

To **** a team out of a division win on a third down stop on something that doesn't change the play is outrageous.

 

[n1997y]

What was that?

Corruption on display.

 

[Arialgg]

Ridiculous penalty.

 

[aluminum seats]

Assuming the league isn’t fixed (and it’s probably not, just way too much involved with that), it’s unbelievable to me that they don’t freaking stress to the refs to not decide games with ******** calls like that

 

[Joey007]

Zebras give Houston the win.

That should be a no-call.

They were already giving BS calls to the Chargers the drive before. This was just ****ty reffing down the stretch.

Yes, and unfortunately it happens way too often

 

[Joey007]

That shouldn’t be called illegal contact.

Agreed. But that’s what makes the call so consequential.

To **** a team out of a division win on a third down stop on something that doesn't change the play is outrageous.

It also kills the entertainment value of the league, watching the Chargers have two minutes to try to win would’ve been great, now it just sucks

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Weaksauce

People always assume fixed means determined outcomes


There's way more nuaunce than that. To not swallow the flag on a flag that doesn't change the play in that scenario is ridiculous and reeks of a man who wants to make it about them self.

The league isn't fixing games like it's the WWE but it would be quite outrageous to assume they aren't influencing them. They absolutely are.

 

[BobDigital]

I will agree that call COULD have been called by the letter of the law since the DB did move towards the spot. But it is so often a no call and sometimes might be called OPI. In any case very weaksauce.

 

[farn]

I agree. Makes it no fun. However : Chargers didn’t deserve to win this BS of a game.

 

[Arialgg]

God. Idgaf about either team, but that ridiculous penalty was corruption.

I'm so sick of it because this ****ing league can't get through one game without affecting the outcome.

It's why I don't watch games that don't involve the Patriots or directly influence the Patriots in some way.

 

[Lansdowne]

**** this refball crap.
