kurtsimonw Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Refs really need to let things play out. Detroit got a TD in the end anyway, but why blow the Demaryius fumble return for a TD dead? Let it play out THEN call that you think he was down, that way you get a fair outcome either way.

leviramsey Posted September 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yeah, the combination of the GIants having a routine win and the Broncos playing in the late game hurts post activity in these threads. That all the 4pm ET games were total blowouts didn't help the activity level. @ Romo/Bryant-less Cowboys @ Colts Jets Dolphins Washington @ Giants (fun fact: the interconference rotation has had the Patriots and Giants playing each other seven times going back to 1987; of those seven, 1999 (the only one that did not involve Bill Belichick) was the only one where neither the Giants nor Patriots appeared in the Super Bowl) Bills @ Broncos Eagles @ Texans Titans @ Jets @ Dolphins Another 16-0 season? It's almost like the NFL tries to motivate the Patriots... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Colts defense looks bad, otherwise I'd say that could be a tough one. Broncos is the obvious one I suppose. That Belichick stat is a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted September 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2015 Statements made by 3-0 teams Sunday: Patriots: "We're the Patriots. Screw you." Broncos: "We can beat anyone as long as we win the turnover battle, which we can do as long as our defense forces at least three turnovers" Bengals: "We're not the same old Bengals! Well, a call went against us when it looked like we'd take a 21-0 lead, and then we had a half-hour meltdown where we lost all confidence in ourselves and let the Ravens come back, and we probably would have lost if the Ravens hadn't settled for FGs deep in our territory or if their secondary wasn't so thin, but otherwise... who are we kidding, we are the same old Bengals." Panthers: "Cam Newton is the NFL's SpongeBob: competent, hardworking, and effective at what he does best but a little too upbeat, goofy, and annoying to be taken seriously even by referees." Falcons: "As everyone predicted in the preseason, the NFC South is a power division that will only be decided in epic battles between Newton and the legendary, mighty Falcons defense." Cardinals: "Hey, underestimating us is one thing, but you don't have to keep throwing the ball directly at our defenders!" And statements made by the previously 0-2 teams: Seahawks: "The epic blowout proves we are 100 percent back in Super Bowl form. Wait, don't look at the halftime score! Or how we scored the first touchdowns! Or who the opposing QB was. Or..." Colts: "We were 6:49 from becoming the Redskins. That's a hell of an abyss to be staring into." Texans: "Next week's starting QB: opponent missed FGs" Eagles: "Everything will be A-OK as long as Darren Sproles does all the dirty work and opposing WRs decide to express their awesomeness by running the hook-and-lateral without warning their teammates." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted September 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2015 Gostkowski now holds the record for most consecutive PATs made (423). With this year's rule change, Gostkowski should hold that record forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted September 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2015 Somebody will win a playoff match by a point because of the new kicking rules. There have been a fair few misses already.If they really wanted to encourage more 2pt conversions, they should have just moved the line for conversion attempts to the 1. It wouldn't affect the kick conversion rate (most failures are blocks or mishandled snaps) but it would increase the 2pt success rate to such a degree that it would have a much greater EV.Alternatively, make the scoring team try the conversion with the same players on the field as when the TD was scored. Allow one free substitution and any substitution beyond that makes you keep the player out for the rest of that quarter plus the next quarter (so a 1Q TD means that an extra sub takes a player out for the rest of the half, 2Q until the 4Q, 2nd half for the rest of the game). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
