I mean it's cheaper than trading up, but I don't like it at all. It's one thing to sign a Carr and then draft a rookie, wherever that may be... It's another to trade that first pick you would draft a rookie with and trade for a still unproven third-year QB. I like what Fields showed last year, but we still don't know what he is, exactly. What I don't think he is right now, is worthy of the 9th overall pick. I'd rather sign a vet and draft a rookie.

I've brought it up before, but when Fitt was in Seattle, they had signed Matt Flynn to that big contract to come in and be the starter and ended up drafting and starting Russell Wilson. So, I think it's fine to do both, planning for the future but living in the present.

That poo still pisses me off to this day.

Yeah, but a foul is a lot more distinct than what is and isn't holding, illegal contact, a catch, etc. So much of the issue with officiating in the NFL is its so fuging subjective and it gives the refs way too much power. The only call I can think in basketball that is close to all of the iffy/subjective stuff used to control the game in the NFL would be a charge in basketball - it's very subjective and up for interpretation. But common fouls? Like what happened to LeBron at the end of their game against the Celtics a few nights ago? That's clear, by the letter of the law, a foul. The way the NFL officiates? One play its a penalty, the next it isn't. For one team it is, for the other it isn't. And again, I don't like Philly and I especially don't like their fans, so fug them, but the officiating is bullshit every year.

No, but you're right in that the issue is consistency. People are saying don't call it there because they didn't call it earlier. So why call it with the game on the line? The refs set the tone of physicality and how handsy guys can be from the outset of each game... if you allow a team to think that level of play is acceptable all game and then BAM! GOTCHA! Call it with the game on the line in the 4th quarter? That's wack. You either call it everytime or you don't. It's why our Super Bowl was such a sham because the refs dictated from the outset that the Broncos were allowed to play with a different set of rules than we were, and if we tried to use the same level of physicality they played with, it was a penalty. But they could yank a guys fuging head off, they could get 5 yard starts with their edge guys, and 5 yard jumps with their tackles while holding the whole fuging game. Point is, the refs have way too much fuging power and not a single iota of accountability.

And they don't give a single fug. Just counting their money.

I get it, bro, but man, that's a weak call to make there. They could call that on a lot of plays that don't decide a game, but they did there and effectively ended it.

Yeah, I think that's what's upsetting about it. As a fan, you would just like to see what the Chiefs do there without ref intervention sdn then see the Eagles get another possession and how they would answer.

But I bet the NFL won't make Hurts hold his postgame presser 10 feet away from LaJarius Sneed's and ask him what losing the biggest game ever feels like.

Don't get me wrong. I hate Philly. But i like those guys. Just know what it feels like to play your heart out and have it stolen from you.

Feel horrible for Bradberry and Reddick. That fuging sucks man.

Yuck. Did he just throw it like 20 yards?

Yup. They want to be a part of the action, snd more often than not, they decide to be seen when it matters most.

Indeed, it was. But, this definitely didn't end up being one-sided.

Man I hate that the game was decided off that fuging bullshit call... but, that's the NFL.

Now everyone complaining the Eagles were getting everything earlier, where are you? No one will ever convince me there will be a worse and more one-sided officiated game than Superbowl 50. Most playoff games and Superbowls go like this... the refs usually don't get involved and are pretty liberal in what they allow... and ultimately, it ends up being called pretty evenly. And if you ask me, that call on Bradberry right there was complete bullshit.

Damn that looked dangerous from the snap.

Mahomes gait right there looked like me trying to get through my door and to the bathroom after Taco Bell.

Loved me some Chuck Cecil as a kid.

CGJ is fuging Pacheco up lol

CGJ always been dirty though

God, that was a huge hit! And Pacheco is not a small guy. I think he's like 215? 220? Also, kind of looked illegal, as well as unsafe for CGJ.

Again, not taking anything away from Mahomes. He is what puts the offense over the top because he makes the plays that guys like McNabb and Alex Smith couldn't when it mattered. And there's a lot of games where Mahomes just takes over and makes a play that normal guys just don't make... but this isn't that game lol. He's executing it perfectly, but the play designs are scheming these guys wide open. It's a perfect marriage... because again, there are a another of games that Mahomes makes the play that wasn't supposed to be made. But these are drawn up beautifully in this 2nd half by Reid.

Wish that would've been the case in Superbowl 50. Funny how that works.

Mahomes is incredible, no doubt, but this has been Reid. I'm guessing he saw their DBs kept trying to switch off based off where the inside receiver was after motion in the first half, so Reid started having the receiver motion in and then pop back outside and it completely blows their coverage. And it doesn't look like the Eagles have adjusted to it at all. The play designs are getting guys wide open. Mahomes just has to get it to them.
