Patriots/NFL 2023 Regular Season Part 2: Patriots officially eliminated from playoffs

[RoccoF14]

Sorry not sorry, I cant take angry Kermit The Frog seriously. Between the voice and his Great Gazoo sized helmet he just appears childish (I know all players complain). That and the predictable temper tantrum every time a call goes against them.

Maybe go chew out your WR for lining up nearly a foot offsides. It's not hard to look down the line and see if you're ahead of the football or not

I'll cut Mahomes some slack, as a Heat of the Moment thing. I think that after he's seen the egregious offside and pondered his reaction/comments pertaining to it, I think he knows he messed up.

The odd part to me is this expectation that Officials need to give players a warning if they are lined up incorrectly. I never realized that was in an NFL refs job requirement. Also, this issue with the penalty negating a big play is baffling as well. The flag was thrown when the ball was snapped. What did he expect? The refs picking up the flag because it was a big play?

NFL refs cant win. They miss a call, and they get crucified........Make a correct call, and they get crucified. Its getting to be as bad as the NHL and their fans/media.

if we're being fair though, Toney should've learned how to line up in pop warner

The Giants cut him for a reason......Yes, the Giants. That team that is loaded at WR....LOL.

I don't want the #1 pick. I'll settle for top 4.

But you can get more in return for the #1 when you inevitably trade down......

I'm only half-joking there. Given the number of holes in this roster, trading down might actually be the smart decision. I wouldn't rule that possibility out at all...

I can't wait to draft a guard at 15!

They have only themselves to blame in this case because they've muddied the waters by offering warnings at times instead of just making the objective calls 100% of the time..

Bill is salivating at the thought.

No they havent.

When a receiver split wide looks over and asks theyll answer. Toney was in the slot and never checked.

This is exactly what I think happened. Andy Reid sounds ridiculous when he says he expected a "warning". It's on the player to check with sideline.

I wasn't there so I had no way of knowing that. It's nice to have someone who was to confirm. Not many players post here.

They actually film the games now. It's pretty cool. He didn't check.

Because he wasn't the outside receiver. The outside wr checks with the side judge for him and any other receivers or TEs on his side and HE relays it. They are too far away from the side judge to do so.

So it's Kelce's fault. Got it.

 

[Therick67]

I hope they got Toney an eye test today, because he wasn't even close to being onside. Blaming the refs is pathetic. Mahomes made a fool out of himself.

That could be why he keeps dropping balls too, get him some sports goggles lol.

Nope. Strong disagree.

As is usually the case here when someone jumps in in the middle of a discussion between 2 other posters, the original argument gets lost. I stated that the officials need to accept some blame for muddying the waters.

They help some but only if you ask....supposedly. They are inconsistent when they do call it. They're inconsistent when they don't call it.

Consistency is key.

I've never seen a bigger temper tantrum over an objective correct call.

At this point, I don't have a big preference between Maye and Williams. The whole craze over Williams' persona seems way overblown.

 

[Seidenbergy]

With that defense and cap room, pats could sign cousins and tee higgins, draft Harrison Jr, and make a run next year. I wouldn't touch either of those "top" QBs.

If you’re picking second and not sold on the quarterback available there, I would trade down and take a tackle.

Whats the deal with the Daniels kid could we trade down collect another pick and take him or will he be going too high? Or is he even worth it?
