NFL Thread 2014-2015

Geno has a perfect passer rating. Geno fecking smith :lol:
 
Jaguars making a game of it !
 
AFC all sorted out (except who finishes 3rd). I'd be surprised if we don't have Pats-Broncos in the AFC Championship game.
 
I'm normally fair-play, but that would be nice to see a DB clatter Odell Beckham jr, i love the player, but he is always talking, taunting or doing something before or after his catches.

That's why you gotta admire guys like Fitzgerald or Megatron, consummate professionals on the field and always respectful of the opponent.
 
Claymaker gets us the ball and then The beast that is Lacey just keeps on running. Hells yeah.

Exactly, i'm also impressed by Lynch, he doesn't react at late tackles or provocations. I like these players who respond in the game, and not around it.
 
Too many redzone struggles for the Packers. This will cost us in the playoffs.
 
I don't and won't ever understand the intentional grounding rule.

That's when you intentionally ground the ball, to prevent a sack and lost of yards.
 
Special teams, this is what we need. Defence have been fantastic second half of the season and now Special teams getting in on it. TD :D

I get that but it seems to be called so randomly to me. I see qbs throwing it away under pressure nowhere near anyone and it's not called.

If they are outside of the virtual circle they can throw it where ever they want, typically it's the equivalent of the distance between the hash marks. Or near an eligible receiver.
 
It's the tackle box. So wherever the left and right tackles are to start the play plus two yards.

Thank you, the referees aren't consistent with that rule, that bother me a lot.
 
Ahhh this makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the explanations.

Shocker from GB there. Looked a good run by Lacy.

Just looked at the rule the tackle box isn't mentioned.

  1. Intentional grounding of a forward pass is a foul: loss of down and 10 yards from previous spot if passer is in the field of play or loss of down at the spot of the foul if it occurs more than 10 yards behind the line or safety if passer is in his own end zone when ball is released.
  2. Intentional grounding will be called when a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage due to pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion.
  3. Intentional grounding will not be called when a passer, while out of the pocket and facing an imminent loss of yardage, throws a pass that lands at or beyond the line of scrimmage, even if no offensive player(s) have a realistic chance to catch the ball (including if the ball lands out of bounds over the sideline or end line).
The tackle box is how they define "out of the pocket".
 
Shit, TD but Rodgers is down and looks bad. This could be our season right here.
 
Off the field..
 
Yeah, in fact it would have been a 4th as it was an incomplete.

Anyway, good to see Rodgers walking. Cannot see Flynn getting us anywhere this half.
 
Suh is a dirty fatass. Stamping on Rodgers, twice. Ugh.

rofl Stafford, that should be the game with just over 2 minutes and a 16 point lead. Bye next week and a huge rest for Rodgers. MVP :D

He's already been suspended it for this season. You'd think he would learn his lesson!
 
As expected, Harbaugh is the first coach to leave.

I think he did an excellent job, would love to see him back in the NFL.
 
How come Seattle are the number 1 seed? I thought Dallas beat them so shouldn't Dallas be ahead based on the head-to-head record?

Three-way tie-breaking procedure as pointed out in a post above. Had the GB/Det game ended in a tie, Dallas would have gained top seed over Seattle in a two-way tie-breaker. Fine with me though - Dallas should beat Detroit next weekend and has a great shot at winning in Green Bay (if they get there).
 
I didnt get it either and read this before the game:

Didnt help too much but I think its due to games against common teams and not just head to head. Seattle beat Packers but lost to Dallas. But I think given the group of common games, Seattle have the best record which is used as a tie breaker.

I think lol
