NFL Wild-Card Weekend thread

[outofplace]

Can you imagine this board if oop was a Rams fan? The rams got utterly boned on a missed PI on third down on their final drive in the fourth quarter. Oh well. They were the benefactor on a missed PI years ago in the NFC championship game. Some calls go your way, some don't. Complaining about refs calls is such a loser's lament, and most males outgrow it after middle school.

Kindly stuff your whining somewhere uncomfortable. I'm not blaming the refs for a loss. I have consistently argued that they are not to blame for the Steelers losing. The blame goes to the Steelers and the credit to the Bills. I am pointing out that in some instances, the officials did a poor job Sunday. Discussing what we see in games is part of the point of a message board. We have pages of discussion of snow removal and you can't handle me making a few posts about something that actually happened in the game. That's your failure.

I get the joke, but y'all were going there to dismiss the officials failing to do their jobs and address snowballs being thrown at players on the sidelines, and in at least one instance, while a Steeler was trying to catch the ball.

I watched the video multiple times. I'm sorry your biases will not allow you to see it.

I have no biases regarding the Bills or the Steelers. I watched the play and the actions which you describe simply is are not there. And I’ve been pretty consistent that I think that a fake slide is the definition of unsportsmanlike and you criticized me for saying that when Pickett did it in college because you said it wasn’t explicitly against the rules.

And I was not dismissing anything regarding fans throwing snowballs at players. At this point, I just want to see if you can keep your obsession of responding to every post through the Suler Bowl.

Right back at you and your weird little obsession.

What is the Suler Bowl?

Your bias may not have anything to do with the teams, but now you have a stake in this because it is clear that you very badly want to be right. You couldn't just agree to disagree. You had to drag this out, so let's play.

You just resorted to one of the more childish tactics used in these debates. You just want to see if you can get more responses. So much for not having any biases. Well, I double-dog dare you to respond again!

That could be the funniest thing ever written on this site.

I would have never thought Josh Allen's move was a fake slide unless someone said, look, that's a fake slide.

And I still don't.

One man’s juke is another man’s fake slide I guess. I’m on the juke side.

Not a fake slide. A hesitation, with a little wiggle, that ever so briefly freezes No. 23 -- the only defender who had a shot at him, as 29 and 20 were being blocked -- allowing Allen to get past him and shrug off his attempt at a tackle.

One might term that as a "football move".

Congratulations on making me show ignored posts for a moment.

When people stop running very fast straightforward, they need to lean back in order to counter their momentum.

Thwy don't need snowblowers. They need flamethrowers.

How long has it has snowed in Buffalo in December and January? And how long has there been outdoor sports in Buffalo?

I will defer to the locals on their expertise in handling snow.

Google turned up exactly 289 hits for "Suler Bowl," FWIW.

There were about 12,000 hits for "Suoer Bowl" in which the O key is more adjacent than the L key.

Just for giggles I tried "Suxer Bowl" and got exactly what I expected: One hit, which back in the day was called a Google Whack I believe.

There's that term Whack again.

 

[Starman]

Wack

That’s what happens when you post during conference calls.

Yeah, it's totally a juke. A juke with a hesitation, too. Because he's suddenly in traffic and trying to figure out which way to juke. Because he's a quarterback, a guy who works on quarterbacking a lot more than he works on developing his set of Barry Sanders jukes.

So nice that now you are keeping up.
