I've stated before, and will state again, that I don't believe the NFL is rigged.

This particular incident though was an example of absolutely gross incompetence. It easily goes down as one of the worst things I've seen in over fifty years of watching football.

I won't be at all surprised if somebody is fired over it. You could make a pretty good argument that somebody should be.

It's good when something that is so inexcusable happens because it actually drives change. This could be the 'fail-mary' that gets change in NFL officiating. They are grossly incompetent and it's hurting the game.

Can only imagine the poo storm if that same play had resulted in a pick 6, or long touchdown.

We watched Cam Newton's head get treated like a piñata during SB50 when blows to the head of a QB was the point of emphasis that year. Then, just to prove a point, we watched the same thing happen again on opening day of 2016.

There won't be any consequences. There never are.

There aren't always "consequences", but occasionally there is scapegoating.

On the controversial KC third down, the official's rational for the redo was the game clock had started at the same time as the play clock.  It shouldn't have (the previous play was an incomplete pass).  Yet, you can clearly hear the Head Official tell the time keeper prior to the original play to "reset both the play clock and game clock and start them on his signal", which is what the time keeper did. 

The Head Official was the one who screwed up and created the controversy.

The problem with the officiating in the game was that it all went one way. The chiefs held multiple times, it’s wasn’t called. Burrow got hit late and it wasn’t called, Chase got interfered with and it wasn’t called. Meanwhile the chiefs were getting everything

I hated for the team and all of the fans. It felt disgusting to watch, over and over.
I can't imagine what kind of taste it left in Cam's mouth.

If my first time ever watching a football game was last night.   You couldn’t convince me otherwise that the game was scripted like the wwe

This is what made me be done with giving NFL more views and only stick to panther games. I had a suspicion refs rig games for a while and after all that, it was blatantly obvious to me.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
