Penalties


Dex

Recommended Posts

The replacement refs are overcompensating with some of this stuff. "Oh, I saw it, I saw it...let me call a penalty".

I hope it gets straightened out. The funny thing is that whoever didn't understand in the past comments like, 'there's holding on every play'...should know that has always been true. There is 'some degree' of judgement these refs should make before calling everything. For example, the unecessary roughness call last night? It wasn't horrible, but the players forward progress had still not stopped..it was an unecessary call...like so many this pre-season already.

I hope you're not refering to the call against #42 Wilson late in the game.

Actually I am 2jake. It was just 1 example (review my post, b/c I did say I could understand it, but that it demonstrated). The WR made a move, was corraled by 2 defensive players & he snuck aorund. He hit the ground & not even a 1/2 second later was hit by Keon Wilson. You will see a hit within less than 1 second throughout the season & 7/10 times it will not be called. I played running back & was often hit after landing on the ground. Why did it get called? Because he led with his head & refs are confused as to what thye need to call in relation to that. He was not a defensless player.

My point, don't get caught up on that example: Throughout the night refs called plays correctly, but very literally. If they do this throughout the season you will hear others talking about what I am & follow. You can't call every holding incident, you can't call every touch of a WR at 5 yards & 1 inch or incidental contact as holding or PI. Games will drag on & be grueling.

I disagree.... I thought it was a penalty. I know they called a lot of penalties but, from what I could see

(and remember) most if not all were the correct call.

    • Has anybody actually said anything of that sort? (if they did, I missed it) I get why some folks rely on stats. I don't, and honestly I'm not sure why people keep trying to convince me I should. (it ain't gonna happen) 😕 Consistency is my big thing too, and the lack of it is why I want to move on from Bryce. But again, that's an argument I make without denying that he can indeed play in (and yes, win) NFL games. Hating bad QB play is fine. Denying when you see good QB play is silly. Let's be real for a second... This may not be you specifically, but there are some folks for whom Bryce can do absolutely nothing to win their approval. Some are always gonna want a bigger / stronger / faster / more athletic (in some cases, Newtonesque) quarterback even if Bryce does start to play consistently. At that point, they'll just shift the argument from "we can't win with Bryce" to "well, we can't keep winning with Bryce" 😖 You know all this as well as I do. So again, I want to move on from Bryce as well. I'd happily (hell, merrily) keep him as a backup, but I doubt there's a realistic path to that happening. But no matter what, I'm gonna keep my debate points based in reality, and I'm not gonna be responsive to "he just sucks" level persuasion. Is any of that unreasonable? 🤔
    • Apples and oranges.   No one is coming for Jon Snow and the neutral party when they compliment Bruce when it is just normal talk about a game.  Which is the literal picture you are trying to paint above.  I mean that’s exactly what you argued. if you start a thread that is about the future of the franchise at QB going forward at QB and what we should do or are thinking! Yeah, the anti Bryce crowd is going to very vocal on that thread because the literal topic is extending Bryce and the future at QB (which is what an anti Bryce position is literally about.  Moving on.  The future) This thread? I literally called out people in their feelings wanting to make this about Bryce and their hurt feelings eroding over.  You can find where I literally calls them out go make another Bryce thread if they didn’t want to talk Saints and the most relevant thing about them.  And the thread went exactly as we all knew it would.   Bryce deserved player of the week talk for Atlanta.  I have always acknowledged his great games.  A shame there are only two 
    • Then the offense will be the same up and down underperforming offense they are this year and our FO are filled with idiots.
