He's always been one of my favourite athletes in the NFL, just an all around stand up guy from all indications.
J.J. Watt is one of the classiest guys in the NFL, and also the best defensive player in the league. Probably one of the easiest guys to root for I've ever seen.
Like I've been saying all along, the Ravens were the most guilty party throughout all of this
Heads should roll in the Ravens organization

Wonder how long until "X college team can beat the Bucs" posts start to come up.
Yeah the Bucs seem a lot worse than I would think, granted I didn't believe McCown was going to enjoy some second wind like Alex Smith did under Harbaugh and Reid, and Lovie teams have always been kinda crappy on offense, but still. They're better on paper than their actual performance I guess.
I won't lie, as bad as the whole Ray Rice scandal is, if it ends up with Goodell being fired or resigning, that would be good for football in general. Owners have been forced to sell teams and CEOs have been sacked for far less serious scandals than what's been coming out this year alone in football. If the ESPN article is to be believed, Rice isn't someone who goes out of his way to beat on his wife; it's just the usual unfortunate mix of alcohol and arguing to me, tempers flared and Rice made a very bad decision in a likely inebriated state, probably not helped by his equally inebriated wife. Shit happens I guess.

Quoted for truth. Hopefully this loss teaches them that running the ball and being conservative is a terrible way to play football. That's not even mentioning the fact you have the greatest passing qb ever. This loss is squarely on the idiotic gameplan going into the game.
So besides the questionable refs/calls and shooting themselves in the foot, yeah...hasn't been the best 2 weeks for the Niners.
Just a shame Denver couldn't pull the upset in overtime, I would be fine taking a 1-2 start with the Seahakws at 1-2 as well. Because we all know the Cardinals are going to fuck up and lose out in the division race at the end (these are the Cardinals after all, as an unfortunate AZ native I've seen it enough more than enough times), it's just a matter of the Niners or Seahawks take their place, and now Seattle is a game up in that race.

No words for this game rn lol. Feels like a haxy pokemon game. We don't even look like the same team lol. Im not sure what's going on but yeah, the Steelers are managing to suck less I guess!
Everytime we have a glimmer of hope, it's just stripped away by something bizare and lucky lol

Pittsburgh has the interesting habit of playing up to good opponents and playing down to bad ones. It's perplexing, but they've somehow managed to manufacture a pass rush tonight and that has led to many of the issues we're seeing. Not to mention Panthers special teams are almost single-handedly preventing them from staying in the game.
Ike Taylor's broken arm though, ugh

What sucks is that we would've either won or lost by the two point conversion.
For those of you not watching, the Raiders scored a TD with less than a minute on the clock leaving the score at 18-19. Apparently Dennis Allen was calling up a two point play until the refs decided to throw a flag on a nonexistent holding call to erase the touchdown. Next couple plays involved a receiver bouncing a ball off his own hands into Wilfork's to end the game.
There's no guarantee we still would've won since Brady could have potentially brought the Patriots into FG range but our defense held them pretty well all game.
I Wouldn't call it nonexistent because it did take place, but it was a ticky tack call.
TBH I Think it was a makeup call after this terrible DPI Call
Where the raiders receiver shoves logan ryan into the ground (which was blatant OPI)
honestly after reading that, i wouldn't kick rice out of the NFL. He clearly shows remorse for what he did and felt fucking terrible about it. Year long suspension is good enough honestly. The ravens organization should be the ones to truly receive the punishment. They covered it up and tried to make it seem not that bad. People are picturing Rice as a repeated wife beater when this was just an isolated incident it seems.
Packers offense fucking sucked yesterday. They gave up more points than they score. The defense look good for once and the offense just took a giant shit on the game.
Alright, that's a pretty fair call. During the game, the replay booth zoomed in on Wisniewski (61, just to the left of McFadden) and there was nothing resembling a hold there. I didn't see the actual hold until right here on this picture.
The DPI on Holmes would've been called every time. You can see Ryan's arm up under Holmes' numbers and the NFL's rules give the dback a flag every time.
Pretty good game for us overall, I'm just bitter about how it ended :(
