WTF is with all these motherfucking fuck fuck holds on every god damn run play? holy fucking shit refs? You can literally call a hold in every snap of every football game that is ever played, but now you just decide to stop the clock for reasons?

the shit is this?

The league can't have GB lose don't be silly. :rolleyes:

Seriously what a joke ... the officials in this game suck. Looks like they're trying hard to hand the game to "Golden Boy plan b".

Some of those holds were pretty obvious. They even missed a huge hold on one of the Colts pass plays that drive. I don't remember the back but he picked up the blitz by bear hugging the guy and it didn't get called.

Dolphins back to earth with a thud vs the hapless Bronco's ... I wasn't paying attention what happened to Tua?

Now the 20 minute post-game comments from Rivers where we have to sit here and listen to him say hello to his entire brood.

Resilient win by the Colts. AFC sleeper.

The karmically perfect Super Bowl would be Raiders vs. Buccaneers, and Brady loses it because the Tuck Rule is no longer there.

That was Gruden's Raiders, too, wasn't it, or was he already with TB that year?

It would have been a 50 yard attempt. Mason Crosby has had a fine career, but that's not a lock. Rodgers actually had RB Williams on the route, but airmailed the ball.

Although the Packers ultimately forced overtime, what was most disappointing was when the Colts had 3rd & 19 outside of FG range under 2 minutes (after all the holding penalties) and the Colts moved the chains to seemingly ice the game. At that point, the game was probabilistically over (it just took a very odd path to actually ending).

Well, it was fun while it lasted. The 5 games winning streak is over for them Fins. At least it was not a blowout.

Yes, Crosby is about 50%, but it is a dome he's kicking in.

So Crosby is maybe 60% to tie the game? It was 4th & 1, so you like Rodgers' chances as well. That decision was close, and I don't think either way is "wrong." The play call itself seemed a bit odd; IIRC the primary option was Davante Adams (who was doubled) and the only check-down was Williams who faked a block, then tried to out-run a linebacker. Rodgers made a terrible throw way over the RB.

Anyway, entertaining game but the Packers really stunk after halftime.

Carr deserves the title of elite if he keeps this up.

Screw Dak. Carr is doing it when it matters.
