NFL 2022-2023

I have been watching quite a few college games and I think this asshat stuff is growing there and headed to the NFL. Seems like some players think their team is a street gang.

Doing this in a week when trainers saved a player's life. Stupid is as stupid does. I suppose he knows trying to intimidate others players doesn't work for him.

Refs take Lions out of playoffs

"Multiple executives and coaches said the NFL needs to reevaluate how it chooses and trains its officiating staff for future seasons," Schefter wrote late Friday. "... Even the NFL's competition committee is aware of what one source described to ESPN 'as the worst officiated game of the year.'"

A running-into-the-kicker penalty on LA with 8:47 left in the fourth quarter should not have been called. The flagged player Rams was pushed into Seahawks punter Michael Dickson, meaning the flag should have been picked up. The Seahawks were trailing by three at the time, and instead of punting to the Rams from their own 21 with about nine minutes of game time left, they maintained possession and tied it at 16 with just over 2 minutes left.

∙ Later in the quarter, tied at 16, Rams corner Jalen Ramsey was called for an unnecessary roughness infraction on Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith that would make Dick Lane shudder in disbelief. Not only did officials possibly err in throwing the flag in the first place (it appears Ramsey was pushed out of bounds at the same time as Smith ran out of bounds, causing the two to collide) but Seahawks wideout DK Metcalf was seen sticking his finger inside Ramsey's facemask after the play, which should have prompted a penalty. The "unnecessary roughness" pushed Seattle into fringe field goal territory with less than a minute left, but kicker Jason Myers eventually missed a 46-yard field goal attempt.

In overtime, Smith likely should have been flagged for intentional grounding. His pass under duress with 9:26 in the extra frame fell 10 yards short of any other Seahawks player.

· The final gaffe included a former Lions draft pick: Seahawks defensive back Quandre Diggs taunted an opponent while picking off Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield with about 8-and-a-half minutes left. Replays showed Diggs pointing at the Rams' Bobby Wagner, a former teammate in Seattle. Had it been flagged, Seattle's drive would have started at its own 21 instead of its own 36; that possession ended with Myers' kicking a playoff-clinching 32-yard field goal.

Now San Fran plays Seattle for the third time.

9-8 got several teams in. Tampa, 8 wins.

Holy crap. The jags won.

Former Jaguars All-Pro running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who called his shot during the halftime show on NFL Network

It's halftime. The Chargers are up 27-7. The most Chargers thing to do is allow the Jags back in the game in the second half game and they win on a last-second field goal.

If the NFL gets too boring

looks like Matthew has started a new Sheet, whereas Brittany has stayed on the same workbook.

Flagged for a false start.

Refs tried to give the Vikings-Giants game to the Vikings on the last series but Vikings could not finish it. (shady roughing the passer call)

With a sideline view of the biggest play in the Baltimore Ravens' loss Sunday night to the Cincinnati Bengals, running back J.K. Dobbins didn't rein in his frustrations.

Dobbins was emphatic post-game that he should've had the ball in his hands when Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley's ill-fated sneak ended up in the grasp of Bengals defensive lineman Sam Hubbard, who returned the fumble for the game-winning score in the Bengals' 24-17 win over the Ravens during Super Wild Card Weekend.

"[Huntley] should have never been in that situation," Dobbins said after the season-ending defeat. "I didn't get a single carry. I didn't get a single carry. He should've never been in that situation. I believe I would have put it in the end zone, again."
