OFFICIAL NFL week 1 thread

[SuperSix]

I am sorely disappointed in my Buccaneers - horrible game. The score didn't reflect the shitty game they played.

 

[Deeko]

Umad?

Anyways - since when is a hit like this legal?

Nothing illegal about it - shoulder to shoulder, from the front. Just a nasty block on a banged up corner that wasn't expecting to get hit.

Of course because he could have easily taken Jenkins out for the season considering what else had happened to him.

You just liked it cause you like Plax's dick in your box.

You sir, are a fucking moron. That was a clean block, nothing illegal about it. Please, show me the rule stating otherwise.

And I hate the Jets ALMOST as much as the Cowboys, I have no love for Plaxico's dick.


Thanks for the youtube link though, I'll pass that around to my fellow Cowboy haters for a good lol

I have no intention of editing it. It was a savage block!

I'm quite classy. Nothing says high class like sharing videos of the Cowboys being humiliated

:thumbsup:

 

[vi edit]

Can someone tell me why the "pick" is illegal in football? That play that Witten had at the end of the game against *TWO* defenders was awesome...but I guess an "illegal pick".

You usually see it called on endzone plays where receivers cross paths. But really...what's the reason against it? It just looks like a very good blocking scheme.

Ah, I can't go off on a tangent there without getting xrated.

Anyways, you have to know I'm just screwing around. That block was just disturbing though because he could have done other moves.

lol wut? That was a disturbing block??? That was a 100% clean block, and you have yet to make a case as to why its not.

 

[Anubis]

TBH nick you should be banned for typing "umad" more then once per year

I thought it was an excellent block, great technique and got the job done.

Because in Witten's case on that play there was intentional physical contact which is essentially either holding or (offensive) pass interference. Like the commentators said, all he had to do is run his route and it would have been just as effective on that particular play as a physical pick.

Even when used correctly? I rarely type that, but in this case the poster is so unhinged he is disconnected from reality thinking clean blocks were disturbing, calling blacks savages, etc. He's mad :awe:

 

[Anubis]

yes because it makes you look stupid

you dont want to look stupid do you?

IMO it was a great block

I wouldn't put much blame on romo. Outside of that one catch and long run by bryant, but offensives were being hammered by the Ds for the first half or so. A lot of feet movement going on by the QBs. Couldn't see anything on video about the fumble to say anything but it was a fluke on a hustle play. He didn't have anything to do with the punt. He's going to eat it on the interception, but then again if cromartie would have played a couple of those passes slightly closer he may have had a few more to add to that number. When the dallas offense starting to get some sustained motion if was when they went heavy in different substitution packages with lots of delayed screens and such, sprinkling in the TE streaks as the D moved up to contain the screens. I'd put more of the "blame" on the boys coaches, as they seemed to have been affected by the constant turning of events keeping them from putting the game over the top. A time draining running effort warranted more of a chance. But I guess the coaches were more worried about the jets growing ability to move the ball against their D.

Which I still don't understand because holding is clearly "holding". Grab a jersey, shoulder pads, ect. The offensive pass interferance is pretty lame because neither had any remote chance on the ball. Defenders can jam a receiver up to 5 yards off the ball and that's fine...but if a receiver does something like Witten does it's a penatly?

I just don't understand the underlying reason. But there's a pile of stupid shit that I don't care about like illegal formations and various procedure calls that make no sense other than "it's in the rule book". And yes I played football for years.

lol @ the cowboys

fuck the cowboys

Yeah, I'm not a ref or a coach, so I can't be certain. I think it has something to do with where the pass was thrown/caught and probably impeding the defender's ability to make a play on the ball. Didn't it amount to a pass interference call anyway?

The block plax did was pure clean. They've recently changed the rule where they will flag you if you do that away from the play (primarily to protect qbs after an INT play), but his was to the front, dud just wasn't looking for it.

As to the pick, you can't have contact on a pass play past 5 yards witten ran into his guy to push him into another. Per the rules I believe you can be flagged for an orchestrated pick even without the contact, but it is extremely rare to see it as it would have to be soooo obvious, and even then refs don't like to go there.
