And the Todd Gurley show is finally underway, 144 rushing yards after halftime.

Big road win for the Rams against a solid team  

[Brandon]

Haha, the Buffalo Bills stories are the craziest this year.

Its so weird seeing Steve Levi do Stuart Scott's sideline job on MNF.

[Brandon]

Nothing like a former ref and the network ref guy coming out and saying the Lions should have had the ball back because the Seahawks player batted it out of bounds.

 

NFL rules haha. This shit happens every week and I loathe it, but think it's genius. You know how many dudes are on FB and Twitter battling it out like a rules committee?

 

It's literally become the WWF. Non-stop controversy and created story lines. It's genius.

[bloodbrother]

Seattle gets bailed out again by a bad call in the end zone vs a NFC North team on MNF

[nate]

How is the NFL so bad???  What a terrible and obvious call.

[bloodbrother]

NFL never fails to provide laughter. Off the field issues with players constantly doing stupid shit....and issues on the field with officials screwing things up in critical moments in a game

 

Just hilarious

[Tank]

Wow, that was such an obvious swat. Seattle gets the benefit again.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

I swear, this happens to Detroit more than any other team. 

 

I watched a small little $25 to win $113 bet get batted out of the back of the end zone. Granted, I didn't now that rule either lol. 

[Angel Oracle]

Still remember the play in 1978 that led to the Casper rule, where TE Dave Casper basically purposely fumbled the ball some 10 yards into the end zone and fell on it for the winning TD vs SD.

the immaculate reception game?

Then the head of the refs comes out and says they got the call wrong too.  The NFL is the worst when it comes to this stuff.  And how is it missed?

[Angel Oracle]

The Seahawks' Michael Bennent is the newest idiot in the NFL.

Holds it against Matthew Stafford that he's from Dallas, because JFK was assassinated there FIFTY-TWO years ago?

He's also saying some other real beaut things in general.

I think it's brilliant. I saw it years ago and weened off the NFL while complaining about it here over the years. Create subjective rules that are always open to interpretation and you can always have controversy or control games to have them come down to the wire. It's genius. Change rules non-stop every year or give out penalties based on public perception, it's a great business model and keeps dudes in Tim Couch jerseys going at it on ESPN or Twitter and keeping everyone interested.

 

I don't know how people take the NFL serious.

[nate]

True.  Still, nothing is more subjective than a strikezone.

 

I am not a huge NFL fan.  I mostly watch it to root against other teams since being from So Cal and not being a NFL fan when I was younger means I never had a real team.

 

It is definitely fun being here where everyone lives and breathes the Packers.  Hard not to be pumped up.

He's joking around. Both Bennett brothers are always saying weird stuff in the media that's not meant to be taken seriously

[Angel Oracle]

I hope so.

"Forget it, he's rolling."

[nate]

Someone needs to tell the announcers in the KC/Chi game that scoring against the Bears is not "impressive."  The Bears are beyond pathetic.

[nate]

How that second INT by Rogers wasn't called back I don't know.

[nate]

OMG Jamaal Charles knee bent in a direction it isn't supposed to.  Sucks man, he is amazing.

[Brandon]

My favorite part of today, the tv shows:

"Cowboys DE Greg Hardy back from suspension against Pats"

Someone: "Is his name really 'DeGreg' Hardy?

[nando714]

Wow bears and Bengals with late rally

[nando714]

Only the redskins would lose on a pick 6 lol

[nate]

Good teams find a way to win (Bengals) and bad teams find a way to lose (Skins)
