Forums - Sports Discussion - The NFL Thread 2019: The Kansas City Chiefs Win Super Bowl LIV

 

Who do you believe will have a stronger defense in 2020?

Patriots 2 66.67%
 
Steelers 1 33.33%
 
Total:3

So the Packers pull off the comeback with help from the refs.

Holy fuck that was some questionable officiating.



That was some of the worst officiating I have ever seen. They hold onto their flags when Detroit (IIRC it was Jones) got clearly mugged, which if called correctly, Lions win. But then later in the game a Packers receiver gets the exact same type of under thrown ball, defender runs through the receiver type of play and they do get the flag.

But the two hands to the face calls were the worst thing I’ve seen all year. At least with PI it’s subjective. There’s nothing subjective about hands to the face. It’s either there or not. Flowers was clearly not putting his hands on the guys face or neck and it saved GB twice and literally gave them the game.

It’s the difference between Detroit being in first and last place in the division. Gifting GB that win also screws over Chicago and Minnesota. What a joke. Bakhtiari needs to go to the NBA with that flopping nonsense.



Standings time. I officially hate predicting this league.

Fuck Brian Flores for the most obviously tank 2 point play I've ever seen.

Also, congrats to Chrkeller for the first ever tie prediction I've seen in this league. Didn't get it right, but hey.

Overall standings. We have a new leader for the first time in a while. Rol keeps tanking his chances to move up by forgetting the Thursday games.

The standings aren't entirely accurate, but at this point in the season I'm too lazy to go ahead and order things properly past a simple PP count, so whatever. Angelus is actually 7th, for whatever it's worth.



Week 7 Picks

Get your predictions in before 8:30 Eastern tomorrow (or technically today, depending on where you live).

I didn't miss any games this season. You say that as if I had already missed TNF at least twice. There has to be something wrong with your Google stuff.

EDIT: The most likely explanation is that my submissions weren't timezone-converted. I vaguely remember to have made submissions for my weekly picks late in the evening on Thursdays the past two weeks, around 10pm. TNF starts at 8:30pm, so that's 1.5 hours earlier. However, I live 6 hours ahead of EDT, so I actually submitted a good 4 hours before kickoff.

I submitted picks for week 7 at around 2:15pm. Check if those picks registered at around 8:15am EDT because that's what should happen.

Here are the converted responses for Week 7. Everyone else submitted on either the 9th or 10th (Wednesday or Thursday of that week). According to Google, anyway, your response was submitted on October 13th (Sunday), at 9:47 Eastern, well beyond what any time zone discrepancy could explain if you submitted them on Thursday.



So, I haven't watched any Broncos' games this season but....is their O-line always this garbage?



I forgot about Thursday night football.

It was 3 quarters of Joe Flacco vs. Matt Moore. You're one of the lucky ones.



Mahomes goes down. How serious is it?
