2021-2022 NFL Season

[cheebs09]

Tony Romo was initially successful but the networks don't seem to realize that it's not that easy. Maybe Brees can get there, but why put him on a playoff telecast before anything else?  (I know NBC doesn't have a "bench" since they only have one game a week.)

Ian Eagle and Charles Davis were fantastic in the other game. You don't need to be a "name" to do good work.

I think Brees did some Notre Dame games this year. Granted, that's a much different experience than NFL playoffs.

I know it blew early.  But the crew didn't think so at the time and it's not reviewable.

How can the guy who blew the whistle not know when he blew the whistle?

He thought he did so after the catch was made. My guess is that he was looking at his feet and didn't realize when he blew it. After they signaled for the TD there was nothing they could have done about it anyway.

Would imagine Niners/Packers is the Saturday night game next weekend (unless they go all NFC on Sunday).

Glad it is a home game , cause the Niners seem to be in good form.

If the official believed the ball already was thrown and caught before he blew the whistle ... why was he blowing the whistle for Burrow being out of bounds? It wouldn't have mattered if Burrow was out of bounds if the ball were in the end zone. There would be no reason to blow the whistle in that case. He blew the whistle only because he thought Burrow stepped out of bounds before the throw.
They knew they botched it and rather than admit to botching it and replaying the down, the concocted a clearly false story about the whistle coming after the catch. There's no way the guy who blew the whistle could have believed it was after the catch. They're lying.

He was the highest paid kicker in the league and was (even self admittedly) declining as the 2015 season wound down and then struggled in the 2016 preseason. Anyone who watched Bears games that season wasn't surprised he got cut.

Lots of revisionist history out there.

And they wanted to free up money to sign Josh Sitton.

Mcarthy winds up coaching the Vikings

Ok I guess.

49ers should've gone for it

[The Sultan]

What was that picture of Anne Frank doing there?  What a strange promo.

[MU82]

Cowboys didn't need to rush to get a play off before the 2 minute warning. Time wasn't a factor. They didn't look ready and they wasted a down.

The whole game has been filled with their mistakes. They're only still in it because SF has made a ton of mistakes too.

Dallas commits so many penalties.

The crazy thing is, they could be called for far more. It is like they try to dare the refs to call a penalty every possession.

So, the Pitino defense equivalent?

Putting someone in motion on a QB sneak is the definition of overthinking it.

I don't think either of these teams want to win this game.

[Jockey]

Dallas mass suicide at the 50 yard line after the game?

They've been trying to kill themselves all game.

[forgetful]

What an epic, stupid, decision.

[Jockey]

Probably the dumbest call I've seen in over 50 years of watching football.

[The Sultan]

So so dumb. Wonder if McCarthy is fired now.

Ranks up there for sure

[Uncle Rico]

NFL coaches, man

[Dish]

That was the best worst game I've ever seen.

Not surprising from a McCarthy coached team. Makes Rodgers look like a genius for helping run him out of GB.

[PointWarrior]

Felt like a magic Mike McCarthy bungled playoff game from the packer days.

Odds Jerry fires him before Tuesday?
