Arena The Official NFL Discussion Thread (Now Featuring Time's Person of the Year, Taylor Swift!)

yeah, he's talking about baltimore's punt from the end zone and the holding on that play, not the attempted 4th and goal by the 49ers and the holding against crabtree, which is the play that most people are taking issue with.

 

So do we have an actual cause of the blackout yet, other than a possibly Cleveland fan or New England Patriot

 

It looks like the only big question left to ask is, how much $$ the refs actually put down on Baltimore.
Given the unspeakable number of big calls/non-calls, I'd have to guess their life savings.

 

More like DarthButthurt. Amirite?

 

Some memes about the Superbowl

 

Stuff like this only happens in New Orleans

Can't wait for the Snow Bowl next year

 

A championship in the elements and on Groundhog Day. Should be epic. I want snow, lots and lots of snow!

They're talking about no in stadium halftime show next year. Too rough to do it bad weather. I'm guessing radio city music hall will have it live. Or maybe hologram tupac can perform.

 

If you rewatch that 4th down play again, you will see Gore completely missed the ravens lineman right up the center in Kapernicks face, forcing him to throw early and high. The ball was uncatchable.
The Niners made mistakes, including terrible passing in the red zone, and the refs were consistent throughout the game: they let them play. It was old school. I loved it.

Monster rating too(a 50????).

 

50! Damn!

Yeah DarthHutt whining over refs betting and stuff is assanine. I'm sure the NFL wants the murderer, Ray Lewis, front and center. A return to glory for the Niners would be better for the NFL image.

 

If you have evidence that Ray Lewis is a murderer then you might want to consult with the Atlanta district attorney. I'm sure they'd be interested in hearing it. It was scummy, but anyone that says he was a murderer without offering proof can please be quiet. And the gay bashing 49'ers would be great for the NFL image? 'NFL: Gays need not apply unless you're in the closet.' Say what you want about the team, but the murderer thing is really grating and stupid. I'm not excusing his stupidity it just strikes me as a cheap shot.

 

I should have put that in quotes. I was more meaning that the NFL doesn't want a perceived murderer based on America's feedback. Right or wrong, perception is reality.

 

A snowy Super Bowl would be awesome.

 

It was destiny.

 

I'm guessing part of the rating is due to the fact that people probably heard about the blackout and tuned into see what it was about.

Here's one of what will probably be many YouTubes about the outage being put up in the coming days:

 

All that needs to be done for next year's halftime show is for Chris Christie to do a hot dog eating challenge.

 

LOL, so you are only allowed to put 2 and 2 together and then state your opinion IF you have actual/physical proof? Okay.

 

There is much I don't agree on with FiD but on this one I'm going to side with him.

 

Regardless of proof of whether he did or didn't do those murders, I do think he knows far more about what happened that night than he will ever tell anybody, and that's all I'll say on the matter.

Edit: So since Joe Flacco's now offically a Free Agent, how much do you think the Ravens are going to shell out to keep him?

 

Catchable ball doesn't matter for defensive holding.

 

I know that. Still good no-call. And Crabtree's hand pushed on the Raven's helmet. They did that all night. It was consistent with how they let them play. It was good to see.

 

And the caper to a whacky Super Bowl:

Ravens temporarily lose track of Lombardi trophy.

 

Oh gosh

 

I'm still feeling down about yesterday, but http://imgur.com/a/9VdIW]these[/url] cheered me up a bit.
