football is stupid

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

I will not have a 2026 thread here. In the first hour, the refs overturned the most obvious "fumble and defense scores" play in NFL history. They came up with shit nobody ever heard before.

I'm out. It was nice for 59 minutes. What a stupid, childish waste of time the NFL is. It's not athletic competition.

Later, they overturned a call to "benefit" the Saints. A Lions RB had the ball loosened from his arm. He looked down to me. They gave the ball to Saints.

Both calls were wrong. The NFL will do this constantly - change the momentum with a horrible judgement call, and then give a "make up" call. Why not just get the calls correct? I promise they are not driving engagement. We are going to a dog park in 10 minutes because pro wrestling in Lions and Saints jerseys are on. (Not totally accurate, I do think the players are trying.)

What does the NFL as an organization even offer? There isn't a single thing the players do that is bad, except for some of the DV and murders. There isn't a single thing the NFL does that benefits the sport. I am sure it is hard to organize the games taking place, but the players breaking away to form their own league can't possibly be worse.

Ahhh, they're good guys.

It's wrestling now. Bright and shiny circus acts for the unwashed. Just check the scores on Monday and call it good. You miss all the commercials and can still get your parley money

why dey go fo 2

If they go for an extra point then text score wins. They are on the road, the NFL was already twisting their own nipples at the thought of throwing a game-changing defensive pass interference penalty, the Saints'll never be closer than they are right there and it's starting to get late in Detroit and none of them want to get shanked or shot.

Also, if they pass and it doesn't make it, they should have run. If they run and get stuffed, they should have passed. It makes the reaction to the decision very predictable. Personally, from where they are, I punt. The Lions won't have the right unit on the field, won't be expecting it, and you can really pin then back.

PIN! BACK! GET IT? OhhHhHHH!

[pinback]

They probably should have run.

There were a lot of typos in your post, by the way.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

The typos show how much I DON'T care!!!!!!!

[Da King]

But. The Bills won.

Go Bills.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Over three plays on the game-winning drive for NO, the refs probably got three straight calls wrong. Just a masterclass of incompetence.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

The same play - QB fumble - that was called an incomplete pass to benefit Detroit in week 1 just happened to us and was called a fumble against us.

Same play, man

Because we are so good at elections?

Twice in NFL history has a team won an NFL game while committing 5 turnovers.

The second was today, when Buffalo beat the Jim Harbaugh-coached San DIego Chargers.

The first was in 1997, when the same Buffalo Bills beat Indianapolis. WIth Jim Harbaugh at QB.

I was tinkering with my RetroPi until 4 when I realized the panthers game was on… just in time to see them lose to the Browns. The Browns. The dookie team.

In fantasy baseball that just ended, I had the most points scored against me. I was last.
In the college football fantasy league, I have the most points scored against me. I am 0-4, last. (I am in the middle for points scored.)
In the NFL fantasy league I am in, I have the most points scored against me, I am soon to be 0-3.

In the NFL league's case, I am last in points scored on the season, however, I scored the second most points in week 3, I just played the team that scored the most.

This is a HISTORIC run of bad luck.
