I've never believed the NFL was rigged...

Does no one else honestly see Pettigrew pushing off of the defender's face, multiple times? The angle behind Pettigrew's shoulder shows it perfectly, so it's not like it was one-sided PI.

That said, I think the better course would have been dual fouls and a replayed down. And Suh getting to play was utter BS.

Also, if this was the league's doing why reverse Suh's suspension when they had every right to uphold it (and most people agree that he should have been suspended)?

 

You're completely misinformed.

 

The league, the owners and the NFLPA agreed upon, as part of the CBA, a statute of limitations for on-field transgressions. The CBA clearly states that if a player does not commit any "suspendable" offenses on the field for a period of 32 games, then any subsequent offense or penalty cannot carry with it that player's history. It's just like his first offense, and one cannot be suspended for the first offense of this type.

 

In other words, Suh had completed his 32 game probation when he stepped on Rodgers. The NFL, by its own rule, could not suspend Suh. After that 32 game period, Suh's history of past transgressions cannot even be brought into the discussion.

 

Don't get mad at the player, get mad at the league, the owners and the NFLPA, because they all agreed on the rule.

The thing is not just it being picked up, the penalty was confirmed on the pa system. Then they pick it up really quick and don't say a thing.  Some fishy sh*t.  

3 penalties on Dallas on that one play, none called.  That being said, the Lions then let them run 60 yds in the other direction for a score.

It was a shitty call, but was it all that different from the kuechly/gronk play from MNF last year? And I cant feel too sorry for the lions, the league didnt make Jim Caldwell pull a ron rivera circa week 4 2013 move by not going for it on 4th and 1 near midfield and watching his punter only kick the ball 10 yards.

they explained that the flag in that play was picked up, by rule, because the pass was intercepted.

they picked this one up with zero explanation.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
