Actually the Colts without Luck might be the worst team I've ever seen.

I can understand if they rolled it out while leaving Sunday Ticket so people that wanted to save some money could have gone the DAZN route and they could have had a full season to get their act together but I shouldn't be paying for a service that isn't working to the standards of even poor television service.

First thing we've ever agreed on?

The Colts with luck are a pretty bad team. Whenever he is capable of playing thatvis

That Pagano has made it this far is pretty impressive, can't imagine anyone else ending up the first coach fired this season.

Flabbibulin · 09-10-2017, 05:08 PM

Uhhh, maybe they were all still held up in fridays commute, but looked to me like LA was only 80% full. Its so great they are getting another team.

Buck and Aikman might as well be wearing Seahawk jerseys.

I understand there have been some bad/missed calls but it sure as hell has been both ways.

Wright going for that dirty ass shot at Rodgers, good on Bennett to put him on his ass.

Now thug Wright points his imaginary gun at Bennett. Legion of Thugs.

The refs have taken 14 points of the Board for the Seahawks, and threw one of their best defensive players out of the game within minutes of kickoff and the Packers have been exposing his replacement ever since. There's nothing "both ways" about the poor officiating this game. The Packers have gotten away with about 5 blatant PIs as well. The NFL is going to have to do some serious explaining tomorrow morning.

That said, the Seahawks oline was terrible, and Russell Wilson continues to refuse to do what made him the starting QB to begin with. I doubt Seattle wins anyways.

Colts and Bengals are also candidates

There's nothing wrong with that hit, if Rodgers wants to be protected slide feet first. Wright committed to the hit while Rodgers was still up

Green Bay beat Seattle at their own game today. They'll see each other later in the year (if the Seattle OL can get it together)

No they havent...and Lane is one of their "best defensive players"?

Your hyperbole knows no bounds.

This game has come down to the Packers making some OLine adjustments to get Rogers some time, and the Seahawks looking like theirs is still in college.

Not sure but probably not. I'm stunned that some people over the preseason were satisfied with the product. I don't think my standards are extremely high in that all I expect is an uninterrupted feed and at least 720p @ 60 fps. This service doesn't meet any of those expectations and I have to wonder if so many people have abandoned cable that they have forgot what a real sports feed should look like.

How have they not taken 14 points off the board. They negated a pick 6 and missed a blatant PI on Graham in the end zone. So I guess 11 if you consider the field goal they settled for. To say the calls have went both ways this game is nothing short of ridiculous. The refs today were absolutely atrocious. Direct impact on the game and the results.

He's a starter, and got kicked out in the first 5 minutes, and the play brought 7 points back off the board for a phantom call. I don't think even the most diehard Packer fan could deny that was a terrible call...nor the mugging in the endzone of Graham by two Packers that basically brought back another 4 points.

The dynamic of the game could've changed either way and Seattle may not have won still. But those two plays weren't judgement calls that went one way and not the other, they were flat out blatant misses by the refs, and were 11 points in a 9 point game, so I don't think Buck and Aikman referencing their importance (and some other calls) is out of line.

Big blow to the Cards. David Johnson out a few weeks and could possibly be more.

transplant99 · 09-10-2017, 05:56 PM

225 yds offense...but its all the officials fault?

OK then.

If you want to play that game, then I say everything is now even for the Fail Mary debacle and there is nothing to complain about...right?

I get what they are saying. Refs took points off the board for the Seahawks with some bad calls. Both teams offense didn't play good, but if the refs don't make those bad calls then it's a different game.

Completely agree. The Hawks did not deserve to win with that pathetic display of offence however the Packers offence was not much better and the difference in the game was the bad calls.

in the first half...agreed.

They were pretty good in the 2nd half though...ended up with 400 yds of offense against what has been the best D in the game for a long time now.

In contrast, the Packers D was abysmal against the pass last year (31st IIRC) yet Wilson could only manage 158 yds against them.
