American Football (NFL)

Yeah, I like our chances with home field, and we're built for a foul-weather Super Bowl.

The NFL Playoffs are always wild, though.

History isn't on our side, either. Last city title was in '79, and that trophy resides in OKC.

Great rivalries need stuff like this, and frankly, the NFL has crushed a lot of the truly incendiary stuff.  Even Philadelphia fans act like functional human beings these days.  Well, mostly.

Speaking of fans "acting like functional human beings" this is refuckinghilarious…

My hometown team is looking respectable.  I'd like to see more points, considering how much yardage they're producing.

And this inability to get past the 1 yard line is infuriating.

[mclaincausey]

If I were you if like to see Cam run less.

[bagley920]

He has been much less of a runner this year. But gotta use the wheels if it calls for it

The O line isn't doing their job

Well, to be fair, $cam should have gone up and over and Tolbert was on his way to the turf before Brooks was anywhere near him… This is a great O line going up against a great front but their ball carriers have to do their job too.

[mclaincausey]

This is embarrassing officiating. Wow.

[bagley920]

Really bad calls. A headbutt is a headbutt. Should be called both ways

Absolutely, and they have missed a couple of blatant PIs, an obvious TD, and 12 men in the huddle. I'm kind of amazed that a playoff crew is having such a hard time with easy calls.

The trip that went uncalled last night could have decided that game too. That would have been a first down on a drive where the Colts could have tied. Pats scored on their gift possession and that becomes a 14 point swing. There's an official who's job it is to hawk the QB, period. It shouldn't be possible for that call to go unnoticed.

[bagley920]

All of SF points except the most recent TD shouldn't even be on the board without those blown calls

Hard to say, because they missed two critical PIs where Carolina got there early as well.

Mistake.

How can NFL playoff officiating be so bad? They don't even know the rules. They just ruled a play where Demeryius Thomas didn't complete a catch going to the ground as a fumble. There is literally no way that that could have been construed as a fumble by the letter of the NFL rulebook, and they had an opportunity to review it and STILL got it wrong.

This postseason is fraught with inept officiating and there's simply no excuse for it.
