Lesson learned from Game One


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Cheating will be more successful than usual as long as the replacement refs are policing the game, especially as done by defensive backs.

Both teams got away with some fairly blatant stuff tonight. I forget who, but some player predicted exactly that a day or two ago. Watching tonight, sure looked to me like he was dead on.

So if you're coaching right now, do you tell your guys to take advantage of this or do you take the high road?

I was listening to Sirius NFL network and they had a caller say the same thing the refs are not competent to handle an NFL game and said DB's should cheat and they will get away with it, the host of the show Gill?? said no way the ref's will make sure no cheating is going on...ha!

some blatant poo tonight but the last 10 minutes the refs called like 10 penalties though.

By cheating you mean they are going to allow SOME forms of contact on the outside? I mean by definition it's cheating but I'm all for bringing a little balance back into the game. Seriously i think 3 of the 5 highest passing yardage marks were achieved last year.

The head ref was an 8th grade geography teacher from Idaho... Lol.

I thought he did a hell of a job.

Considering there was more focus on the refs than normal, there really were not any more significant controversies regarding officiating than we have seen in most regular season game.

    • Uh... Bryce Young extension? This shouldn't even be remotely on the table right now.  Hell, the Texans haven't even engaged Stroud in an extension discussion yet and he's played miles better than Bryce has during their careers so far. I swear, he's going to show the bare minimum of improvement this year, the front office is going to say it's showing he's still getting better, and going to sign him to a stupidly large extension that is only going to set us back another 5+ years when he never even approaches being an above average QB and we have to replace him a few more years down the line.
    • Yeah I'm calling shenanigans on this. I get why people want this to be true but the truth is plainly right in front of us. Scott Fitterer was a god awful GM but at the end of the day the same guy that hired him gave Matt Rhule generational wealth because his wife made some tasty meatballs. The whole trade up to #1 reeked of David Tepper's desperation and his need to be in the headlines. He had mentioned that he spoke to Bryce months before the draft and directly intimated that he would like Bryce to be a Panther. And who was it that held a press conference where he did virtually 98% of the talking after firing Reich? I legitimately don't understand how one can come to a conclusion that the entire Bryce Young debacle was all Scott Fitterer. I mean one would have had to have recently had a stroke or some kind of brain injury to even begin to rationalize such. Not trying to be a dick but cmon.... If it was all Scott Fitterer then why did we spend two straight years after 2023 making absolutely no effort to bring in any competition in the QB room? Andy Dalton? Jack Plummer? And furthermore at the end of the day Dan Morgan is the GM because no other serious candidates were interested in the job. And why is that exactly? Hmmmmmm. And if Fitterer was the architect of the trade up and selection of Bryce Young and the Tepper's were just a couple of poor schlubs taken for a ride does hiring Scott Fitterer's right hand man and best friend sound like a well laid plan? None of this is even mentioning the fact that the 2024 draft was basically like Scott Fitterer never left. Yet people still aren't getting it? 🤨 This place is always amusing. That's what keeps bringing me back.
    • Play him on his 5th year. See if he starts/repeats the success. If he does, great, no problem with an extension. Just no Daniel Jones 1 hit wonder contract please.
