2016 NFL Season

[Displaced Flames fan]

Ezekiel Elliott has a case as MVP so far this season. Crazy.

[Machiavelli]

Elliott is the man

Not really. Matt Ryan is way ahead of anyone else right now, especially if they win this game. Cowboys offensive line is just that good, remember McFadden was 5th in the NFL last year in rushing. But we'll never see Travis Frederick winning MVP, even if the Cowboys MVP is their line.

[GirlySports]

man you never see Julio Jones drop those.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Seahawks get away with multiple holds on that third down

[DropIt]

what? Sherman turned Julio completely around

[Senator Clay Davis]

Horrific non call on Julio there. Clear as PI gets

[corporatejay]

Who is doing colour? Ronde? He's awful

Just to be clear, that was obviously PI

[DropIt]

the slow motion makes it look even worse. Wow.

[rubecube]

How does Seattle always seem to get away with crucial PIs calls? Sherman should've been flagged there.

[Senator Clay Davis]

PI needs to be reviewable. It's not even close.

[station]

I'm almost as mad as Quinn. BS non call on Sherman.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Seriously, this is as clear and obvious as it gets, and the official was staring right at them. Pathetic.

NO! NO!

Calls get missed that's the game. The last thing we need in the NFL is what is happening in the CFL.

Yeah, and this one cost a team a win in a league where one win is almost always the difference between making the playoffs and missing it for 2-4 teams a year. Get it right, this would have taken 10 seconds to rule a penalty as it's not even close or up for debate.

Was just thinking this. It sounds good on paper but it's been a bit of a disaster in the CFL. Coaches challenge it all the time just as a "hail Mary" when they give up a big play, it's slowed the game down so much and has made the product worse.

Agreed it was a BS call though, maybe Sherman can finally stop crying now. God he's the worst

[Senator Clay Davis]

In the NFL you're limited obviously to only 2 challenges, plus NFL teams value timeouts way more than CFL teams because of the clock rules. So teams wouldn't be as reckless challenging PI in the NFL as they are in the CFL. But we've had a 66 yard penalty this year that was not a penalty, a penalty call today that was one of the worst calls ever, and a blatantly obvious penalty not called. NFL is too close as a league for teams to possibly miss the playoffs because of something like that. It's beyond time to at least experiment with it.

Sure. But holds are missed incomplete/complete passes are missed throughout the game. Just because one happens at the end doesn't make it any more or less valuable.

What about reviewable PI within last 2 mins of halfs? It really sucks to lose a game like that and I think the defenders can be more aggressive at the end of a game knowing the refs don't want to be determining the outcome with a flag.
