What teams will play in the next Superbowl?

[ovrszd]

As usual, you miss the whole point because you’re mad Philly made it further than your 2 teams Atlanta & Tampa and your boy Tom Brady is sitting at home.

I really don’t care the Eagles lost.

My point is lousy calls being made on last minute plays to decide games and that’s it. I was just as p’od when the Bengals got screwed last year.

Chill with the gaslighting already Piney.

Who's gaslighting?

And while we are on that subject, gaslighting, isn't that a weak position? When a name is made up to describe a position that someone doesn't like? I've never understood that......

He was just tossing out a buzzword he doesn't understand but sounds good...LoL...!

Now we are going down a dark conspiracy path. I'll play.

If a Ref makes a bad call to further his financial position, and that call costs the actual big money people money, he'll never be heard from again. Deep well somewhere.

How's that for a theory?

I'm sure there have been more than a few managers of boxers that know what you mean...!

You obviously...LoL
You keep whining about a good call that caused your team to lose...get over it already...geeze...!
The key to avoiding questionable calls is DON'T MAKE QUESTIONABLE PENALTIES AT QUESTIONABLE TIMES...!!!

Now you ARE saying there was a “questionable call” ??

Make up your mind and take a position already. I can’t keep up with the double-speak!

No it was a good call...I already said that (and so did the guy that held)...
What you cited is THE KEY...to taking the refs out of the equation...it's not rocket science...LoL...!!!

The officiators of any game cannot be removed from the equation. As has been stated many times, mistakes will be made.

Were I on the field with a whistle in my mouth and I make a snap decision, I'm sticking with it until proven wrong.

As spectators we get all worked up when they can't make up their mind!!!! Stuff happens.

Until someone can prove that it's intentional, it's just all sour grapes, depending on which side of the field you are on.

Get over it already...
If you really want to lay blame where it actually belongs...blame the eagles DC and his staff...

FYI...Allowing real time game circumstances to affect an officials call would be entirely unprofessional...! They should use the same training they use to make calls in the fourth quarter as they do in the first...!

And that's exactly what you do when you make a snap decision as a referee, you stick with it no matter what anyone else says.

Reality IMO is that Pro football has come a long way to removing potential missed or bad calls by using replay.

People are human and can make mistakes.

Reality is all professional sports could stop their existence, and worst case, I'd have more spare time instead of watching the NFL on TV and really wouldn't care.

I consider myself a die hard Eagles fan, but that came from family upbringing. End of the day, any NFL team is in existence to make money and no professional sporting team has done anything for me except provide some entertainment. That said, always like Andy Reid when he was with the Eagles, and if the Eagles didn't win it, glad that Reid did.

Now, when you look at all the money spent gambling on professional sports, that boggles my mind.
