I'm surprised. I thought there would be one already, but onside kicks are rare and converting one is even rarer.

Can we not derp away the last 40 seconds of a game we’ve won? Thank you.

The Ravens 30-16 win at Seattle was a thing of winning football on the road beauty. That trade for CB Marcus Peters paid immediate dividends. Dude took an int 67 yards to the house in the second quarter giving the Ravens a 13-10 lead which they would not relinquish winning 30-16. A great way to go into the bye week, which is followed by the NE at Baltimore game.

Cowboys are frauds. Lose to the fucking Jets, huge lead over Eagles. My mind hurts.

The Cowgirls beating the Eagles, cool, one more win for me.

Pros: Fuck the Eagles, and good for my picks
Bad: I am facing their stupid kicker who has a bunch of points (FF).

FG kickers are weird creatures. There's a reason why many hyped-up kickers coming out of college has not made long careers in the NFL.

If the hole in the roof of Texas Stadium was so God can watch the Cowboys play, then why do they always keep the roof at AT&T Stadium closed?

Cause Jerry wants a fancy roof*.

Well, I did great until I got to the games that started in the 3:00 hour. I'm 1 for 2 in those, and that is only because my Saints really opened up a can of whoop-ass on the bears. 10-3 so far this week isn't that bad.

Mayfield, Matthews and Walker all fined for criticizing refs.

This is becoming a borderline farce...

Can’t even criticize the refs? What’s this, 1798? And $12,500 is pocket change to these people. They’re just gonna keep saying it until something changes. Mayfield flipped off a whole crowd once in college, he’s not gonna shut up.

Because God hasn't renewed his season ticket.

Can I change my pick to New England?

Also god damn I was near perfect until Dallas decided to have a pulse.

The refs are killing the sport.

This seems extremely unlikely but if a significant amount of NFL Players were to go on say "strike" due to the rules and the reffing, I guarantee they would change something. Slightly more likely though would be NFL Fans boycotting the games until changes were made; hit them in the wallet they say. Again, extremely unlikely but it's the only way. Or just get rid of Goodell.

by **Dresderstan** » Mon Oct 21, 2019 6:27 am

There is bound to be a strike sooner or later, when exactly I don't know but this could be the start when players just about had enough and decide to walk out.

It’s a downward spiral. Nobody wants to be the butt of the joke, so once this generation of referees is over, then it’s likely we’re going to have a referee shortage. It’s honestly horrible.

Yes, you can change your pick, you're just not allowed to do so when the game starts. I'll do that for you shortly.

I agree: it's bound to happen at some point.

I do agree too though I'm not sure if a shortage will materialize; not sure what the employment looks like. Hey, always got some College level refs: just got to re-train them.
