Man... the Saints stripe-less, dark pants look every bit as bad as ours...

 

Jimmy Graham called for OPI on the last second hail Mary... OT in NO...

What's Sammy Watkins doing for them this game? He is the best receiver in the history of the world after all.

 

Right because he hasn't been making ridiculous plays this season at all. And were you watching the game? Do you know what the circumstances of his quiet game were? Was he being double teamed? I dunno..whichi is why I'm asking. I know this was a dig on your part from that thread I started, which again...I made because at the draft we were sans Josh Gordon and the FO knew we would be. Everybody knew the year suspension was a distinct possibility. There is no question that at least "this year"..Sammy Watkins would have had a greater impact on our team than Gilbert. Because he had a quiet game being thrown to by Kyle Orton means approx. dick. When Gordon comes down with his 4th strike go ask Hoyer if thinks passing up a big time WR was the right move for "this" team. I'm not nor ever did completely bag on Gilbert in that thread btw.

42 so far in league 1 for me. If he keeps this up I might break 200.

I suspect he will be benched soon, what an embarrassing showing from Chicago after all the criticism. Rodgers may as well get the record though.

 

(I have nelson too, that duo has been killing it all year)

No Rodgers here, but got me some Jordy Nelson... 28 in the bank and 38 projected, but will likely be pulled before realizing 10 more.

Horseshit call on that OPI at the end of the game. How do they call that on a hail mary pass?

 

you call that cause if it was allowed teams would huddle their WR's around one guy at the end of that pass and then everyone would push off and basically clear the area for the guy in the middle to catch the ball. C'mon that was a blatant pushoff. You can argue that the 9'ers guy flopped a bit cause he acted like he got shot, but at the same time if he doesn't do that the refs may not see the pushoff. Graham pushed off, and when a dude that big and strong just puts his hands on a DB for a millisecond he alters that guys ability to compete for that jump ball. If Graham had done that to Haden to win a game at the end and it wasn't called, Browns fans would be stomping and pistol whipping their TV's. The NFL calls DB's so tight now that it would be comically absurd to allow WR's to get away with that. Had any of those guys put their hands on Graham like that you think there wouldn't be a DPI flag thrown?

It was blatant and I agree with it. That catch is a lot harder without that shove to the defender.

He still might have come down with it. Fuckers 6'7 and as strong as the lineman. None of those DB's would have been able to pry that ball loose on the way down if he caught it right.

Yea he might have, but I agree with the penalty. He took a defender out of the play.

My first thought as well... the DB Graham pushed (and I thought it was clear he did push... with both hands no less) really was not in a good position to make a play on the ball. His back was to Graham and the ball.

I was that "noble" in this, my rookie year...

 

Never again...

I've done the same for years. I've finished second and third, never champ, and was next to last one year. Typically middle of the pack. I don't feel grabbing a Steelers player here and there would've changed it much. Who knows for sure though.

 

My nobility only goes so far though. I've been riding the wave on Ravens RB Justin Forsett this year. Lol.

But how nice to see Antonio Brown fumble...

Twice.

 

For a guy who is supposed to be a top flight Superstar, he's really cost his team with big drops in the clutch.

 

Thats the second game this year, that his drops have been a major factor in the Steelers losing.

But it's a horseshit call when you bet on the Saints giving 6 points!
