2022 NFL and NCAA Football offseason

[My3Sons]

I didn’t see it yet, I’m not discrediting any of his claims but the timing of it seems off ? There’s still multiple Hc openings and he’s currently in the running for two of Them as a finalist. I think it would have been a better tactic to wait until you were completely shunned out by all 10 teams looking for a hc and file a lawsuit based on 1/3rd of the league basically not hiring you

there is a conflict between Flores and his lawyers. Flores wants the NFL to make real substantive change. He trusts that people of conscience won't hold his lawsuit against him while he looks for another coaching gig. His lawyers want the maximum publicity and during the ESPN interview already floated dismissing the case if the NFL "does the right thing" for the class action claimants. I wonder what the "right thing" will encompass.

I'm pretty convinced if the NFL implemented a legit top down plan that would provide a real path and real opportunity to coaches from communities traditionally shunned by NFL teams (that is more than men from BIPOC backgrounds, women have had a tough go of it as well) and Flores saw that it would work, the lawyers would say "no". I'm skeptical they actually care about fixing the problem unless they get paid.

I can’t believe that Belichick could be that dumb

I'm having a hard time figuring out what his angle is, but that man doesn't take a shit without knowing exactly how many pieces of toilet paper he's going to use before going in.

And if one extra is needed, he'll make adjustments and use one less the next day.

Spite maybe for deflate gate ? I find it hard to believe that he accidentally sent that text. Think of what that text has done. Exposed the system for a former coach who he has a good relationship with, decimated goodell and the nfl(grudge for spy gate, deflate gate etc) decimated a division rival and burried tom Brady’s retirement.
Conspiracy theory engaged

if the lose for 100 k bonus is true i dont see how you come back from that as an organization

I laughed out loud at this…and you’re exactly right

 

[Goptor]

Will this cause an issue with the NHL?

I assume the Dolphins have business relations with sports gambling so there is a direct connection in place.

you are probably right, but Bellichick is going to have to reveal his source so someone else is getting thrown under the bus if he set it up with Flores.

 

[Saugus]

Only if this gets anywhere near discovery. My guess is the league will be very interested in settling well before that point.

Although the media might still be able to out the source outside of the legal system.

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

I am writing this as it is 20-16 late in the 3rd. I thought for sure the "Football Gods" were going to get revenge on us and give us a blowout after the incredible playoffs we got to enjoy this year. Looks like we may get another great ending

 

[njdevils1982]

bengals penalties late

 

[Patrik26]

Ecstatic for Matt Stafford! All those seasons playing for the shitshow in Detroit and now he's a Super Bowl champion.

 

[Guadana]

Stafford from bottom to top. Great story.

 

[My3Sons]

I’m happy for the Rams but that was terrible reffing. They let both teams get away with murder all gane thrn all of a sudden they start throwing flags close to the goal line on the last drive? That was lame.

The holding call on the LB during that last drive was garbage. I don't get how you call basically one penalty all game then throw flags like Jim throws fits when Jack does something good.

Im sure they knew that they blew it on the higgins td non-call. The best team won in the end

 

[Emperoreddy]

Ehhh I didn't like the holding call but flip side a blatant missed face mask on the Bengals TD.

Bengals did not look ready to play. Eli Apple was awful. Their o-line was awful.

 

[Billdo]

Eli Apple was awful.

He's been awful his entire career, how he's even in the league still is beyond my level of comprehension. Same with that moron Hargreaves. I'm a Bucs fan and he was a pretty high first rounder a few years back. (Hes the clown who cost them 15 yards when they picked Stafford near the end of the first half)

 

[Saugus]

Rams deserved to win. Stafford and Kupp were excellent on the Rams scoring drive, and Donald sealed the win.

Commercials were weird. All electric vehicles, crypto, and NBC and HBO show nostalgia. I guess this is the future?

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Bengals play calling was questionable tonight. They got out coached.

The holding call though was awful. You don't call anything all game and then throw flags like crazy at the end? I didn't like that.

the holding call fine but the PI call extended the drive and made it too easy. It’s just bad timing. You don’t want the refs to decide the game and in my view they did.

it was bad because they had let much worse go all game. Inconsistent and suspicious reffing is bad for all sports.

Then take the Bengals TD off the board too. Blatant missed face mask put them ahead.

Refs didn't decide this one. Bengals deserved to lose.

He got exposed so badly in this game.

Agreed.

That blatant facemask that was inexplicably missed by the Refs was what kept this a competitive game.

For me, as a fan with no horse in the race, I had no issue with it as I got a fun SB that wasn't a blowout for either team but instead went down to the wire.

For Bengals fans, this will hurt even worse than all the losing years they've had because of how DIFFICULT it is to even get to this point...let alone win the SB.

For Rams fans? Or more accurately, for Matthew Stafford fans : You got your wish. A SB win for Matt aka a huge middle finger at the Detroit Lions franchise for WASTING Matt's prime years there.

 

[BurntToast]

The Half-Time show was dope.

 

[My3Sons]

From a game management standpoint that makes sense. Timing was bad though. One thing this game highlights is just how brutal the NFL is and how winning is more about just surviving than being great a lot of the time.
