Discuss your impressions of the tendencies of head officials from each game and whether or not you're happy with the NFL's selections.
Falcons @ Eagles
Head Official: Bill Vinovich
Tendencies: Vinovich's crews often call the least amount of penalties, and this season was an excellent example...
The Panthers fans I know are dancing in the streets and sending thank you letters to the Saints franchise, because Rivera finally fired the worst OC and QB coaches in the league.
The Panthers win the South next year, confirmed.
Al Riveron really is a wild card. He seems to change his mind on certain rules on a weekly basis, and the NFL would improve its replay system drastically if it fired him, even right now, and put somebody in his place temporarily.
The thing I fear most is Case playing a completely balls-less game trying not to lose by making a mistake. Otherwise, I expect Murray to run the ball relatively well, and I do think McKinnon busts a play or two for larger gains, though I don't expect a McCaffrey-esque 56 yard TD on what should...
If Minnesota's offense shows up to play, the Vikings will win. If the Panthers can shut down the Saints running game with a lesser front 7 than Minnesota's, Minnesota can too. X will control Thomas. Ginn scares me against Waynes but Waynes has progressed tremendously this season.
Trash all...
Crawley is going to get boned by whoever they put him on, tbh. The Vikings have 4 WRs who could torch him and I'd probably bet on Treadwell against him, too.
It would be damn near unprecedented for 2 rookies in the secondary to not struggle against a team with excellent weapons in the passing...
I think they'll put Lattimore on Diggs, if anyone. He's the red zone WR, and Thielen is gaining the respect he deserves but I doubt Lattimore shadows him. Plus, Lattimore has a better chance of slowing down Diggs than Thielen. Diggs hates contact and still has his struggles against it. Aside...
I forgot about that. That hit on Kelce is the kind of hit that the league needs to prevent. I consider it a kind of targeting to load up and try to decapitate an offensive player who's already engaged with another defender. Go make the tackle--don't go and try to kill somebody
Literally fake news. ESPN has been fabricating stories for years. Ed Werder completely made up the TO drama in Dallas. To this day TO's Dallas teammates speak highly of him.
I mean it makes sense based on our 3rd Down defense. We get you to 3rd and 5+ and you're damn near fucked every time. But so help me god, I do not trust Case Keenum.
And I also don't trust Pat Shurmur all that much. I'm really hoping that him going away from Murray in recent games is in an...
I don't hate the playoff committee at all. I'd prefer the FBS adopted the FCS playoff system, though. Either way it's better than BCS rankings deciding Bowl games.
So happy for Buffalo, but absolutely fucking livid that bullshit tiebreakers put the awful Titans in over clearly superior teams in the Chargers and Ravens. The NFL needs a committee for the WC seeds in these scenarios when multiple teams have the same record.
