Baltimore Ravens at KC Chiefs - 720pm    :horns2

Also, NFL continues and will play Friday Night as well  :horns2

Green Bay Packers vs Phila Eagles in Brazil - 715pm   :horns2

But unless you have Peacock, you won't get to enjoy watching this primetime game.   Friggin NFL, money and streaming apps !  Booooo

I tried peacock for the Tour de France.

And then had the discipline to cancel my subscription. 

Then they send you offers to entice you back.

So I reenlisted cause I'm going to be out in sticks with no TV this weekend.  

Like $4 something a month, for 4 months.

Heck I waste more money than that on any given trip to the fishing store.

And that's pretty much how Lamar Jackson goes.  Makes some crazy plays.  Puts up a lot of fantasy points.  But isn't nearly as good of a QB in real life.

Yeah, felt like another classic Lamar Jackson game. People make a lot of fuss about him but he overshot two wide receivers in the end zone on that last drive, and he ended up aiding in one of them getting hurt because of it.

I will say... I don't think the NFL did itself any favors last night regarding poor officiating and bias claims. Hammering the same Ravens tackle four times in the first half for illegal formation, but not calling it once on KC's right tackle the entire game despite him a) regularly lining up deep and b) often false starting, was a bit egregious. I'm not a fan of either team, and I don't think it cost the Ravens the game, but it certainly didn't come off very objective IMO.

Ehhh, the Chiefs did get a false start penalty and the Ravens tackle got called three times (4 technically if you count the warning) on the first drive.  He figured it out after that drive.   
 

Late hit on Pat wasn’t called and a pretty ticky tak holding on Rice (his arm got outside the shoulder but didn’t engage the defender to unless his pathway) negated a 30 yrd gain, negating points late in the game.   
 

Officiating wasn’t the best last night, but at least it was consistently not great both ways.  Hard to argue bias for either team

I don't think you're wrong but I do think it's one thing to be inconsistent across different penalties and another to be inconsistent with one specific penalty. The Ravens had five illegal formations calls and the Chiefs zero, and there were several plays that Jawaan Taylor was in a worse position than Ronnie Stanley.

I don't think officiating won or lost anything for either team. Ravens had plenty of chances to win and didn't.

 
Despite the quirkiness of the college OT, I gotta say it beats the NFL.  NFL OT is lame.  Rams never got to even possess

the ball.  :lame

 






Does this make sense to people who follow the NFL more than I do?

I would have guessed he's the ~5th best QB in the NFL, based on how he plays in big games.

 
Not sure you're going to have much success in the NFL only throwing 15% of your passes more than 15 yards downfield.  Broncos should know that as that's basically what's happened the past two years.

I have no stats handy for this at all, but isn't that essentially how Brady coasted for the last several years of his career?
