Just heard Ray Lewis on Inside the NFL...disappointed, yet not surprised, he didn't understand that it's not a protest of the flag or national anthem. The two have nothing to do with each other and it's so annoying that people are spinning it to fit some bullshit anti-america rhetoric.
 
Just watched the inside the NFL highlights of the Falcons/Lions game. The officiating is going to be the thing that kills the sport if anything. That ending is embarrassing for both teams and the sport as a whole.

Lions got robbed

The Lions are often robbed by NFL officials.

However, as some reporter pointed out this week: the Lions live and die by razor thin margins so often that every time a controversial call happens it gets amplified one thousand fold.

What a crazy week of games we had this week and of all things in the world for people to get upset about, it's players taking a knee/linking arms etc to say fuck you Trump. Merica

Oh and hi Bread, have an Oktoberfest on me.

No, this game looks rigged. So many bad calls so neither team could pull away. The officials dictated how the outcome of this game through phantom calls on both sides. There were times both teams could have pulled away only for a phantom holding call to kill that teams momentum.

Bucs fans knew all to well Case Keenum was going to turn into Tom Brady again and crush us, the rest of the NFL just doesn't pay attention to Tampa. Nor should they with that performance. And the Bills winning is the most Bills ass win possible in their struggle to always circle right around mediocrity instead of going full on tank.

What was the conversation about the call on that game? As much as it sucks for the Lions, the rule exists and was called correctly no?

Yup. Three throws from the 1.

People aren't talkng about Elway's statement about keeping politics out of football while he constantly makes political statements using the Broncos name?

Who can keep up with all these statements?

I expect this weekend to be an even worse shit show

Lions would be pretty decent if their offense offered literally any consistency.

Defense gives them the ball back time after time and they just waste it.

This is what people who have zero interest in the actual issue being protested or even bothering to learn about it, do. They turn it into an issue about patriotism and the flag.

Have to say, Bob Costas was spot on these issues. Basically said these people have reduced patriotism to cheering for the military and standing for the flag. So if you don't stand, you are not only patriotic but against the military.

What about honoring teachers, scientists, and other great patriotic people at the games?

If they got it right the first time the Lions could've gotten another play off

It was a super close call and coaches can't challenge. That is why we have that rule in place.

Tough to blame refs for not getting that right since it's such a close call.

It’s not allowing them to run another play is the messed up part.

That's not a bad call, that is following the rules.
