Re: Super Bowl 57
With this proliferation of Australian punts in college football over the last decade (JMU had one 2017-2021, 5 year starter, 4x All CAA), was wondering how many were now in the NFL. Have seen numerous Div I college games where both punters were from Australia. According to wiki, Australia has the 2nd most # of foreign players in the NFL 2022 season:GannonFan wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 7:59 amThe Eagles punter was an ex-Australian Rules player.

Wah wah wah. For the team that won the Super Bowl, a lot of the Chiefs fanbase sure has been whiny about all these supposed calls and no-calls that went against them during the game. Sensitive bunch those Chiefs fans are.

Re: Super Bowl 57
Methinks you're missing the part where I said the Eagles fumble for a TD and a punt return that was basically a TD, along with poor defense in the second half, were the real culprit for the Eagles loss. Your meme doesn't work for that.

Mahomes had only 182 yds for the whole day I'm a numbers guy and I wished that he had Hill with him he would have been over 300 yds in his sleep and Hill could have taken down RICE mark for receiving yds of 215.

Re: Super Bowl 57
Did you miss the part where BDK said "looks like the NFL wanted the Chiefs to win"? The tweet I posted was for that.
Don't be so butt hurt. The Eagles have a great roster and a top 3 QB who I think will prioritize winning over maximizing his paycheck. They'll be back.

Agreed, hard to overcome a turnover TD and essentially a special teams TD.
And while the defensive holding call at the end wasn't fully responsible for the outcome of the game, it's a brutally bad call that should be castigated. There wasn't a single defensive holding call in the game up to that point, and there were ample examples of worse defensive holdings that weren't called throughout the game. You can't establish that level of officiating, and then change it in the last two minutes. If that's a defensive holding that gets flagged, then you need to be flagging a lot more along the way. Like I said, maybe the outcome is the same, but we were denied the opportunity to see a real classic ending to what had been a really classic game up to that point. Based on the game up to that point, that flag can't come out for that play.

Re: Super Bowl 57
And like I said, there were other holds throughout the game for similar plays that weren't called. No one has ever argued it wasn't a hold. The argument was whether calling it tighter in the last minute versus the rest of the game was the best officiating. Players adapt to how the game is called. Happens in every sport. Changing what you call during a game is often not well received.houndawg wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 2:40 pmThat was my initial reaction but a close watching shows it was the right call because of when he held him he had already lost the routeGannonFan wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 7:12 am

Re: Super Bowl 57
You assume that the refs see 100% of fouls and call them differently, and that simply ain't so - they miss calls all the time and Philly benefitted from several of them through the playoffs - and these players are pros, they know where the refs are and what the refs can and can't usually see. In this case the DB was already beaten at the dig part of the route and it six if he doesn't hold, and the ref is supposed to let that go? If Philly wasn't so busy choking they would have let KC score and had plenty of time to answer, and elect to go for two if they wanted to, sure af they didn't want to play Mahomes in OT.GannonFan wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 11:33 amAnd like I said, there were other holds throughout the game for similar plays that weren't called.

Re: Super Bowl 57
Bradbury reportedly had a more egregious hold on JSS earlier that they didn't call. Maybe they didn't see it, maybe they were letting them play but I get why an Eagle fan would be frustrated. The inconsistent calls went both ways, with Philly benefiting at least as much as they were hurt by the questionable calls.houndawg wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 12:31 pmYou assume that the refs see 100% of fouls and call them differently, and that simply ain't so - they miss calls all the time and Philly benefitted from several of them through the playoffs - and these players are pros, they know where the refs are and what the refs can and can't usually see.

Re: Super Bowl 57
The interesting stat is more interesting if you look at the head ref's crews over the past two months. That defensive holding call with just under 2 minutes to go in the Super Bowl was the first defensive holding call that guy's crew called since the middle of December. They had gone basically two months (had 4 games in that span I believe) without calling a defensive holding call. And yes, there weren't holding calls, offensive or defensive, in the entire Super Bowl before that flag came out at the end. All about consistency.houndawg wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 12:31 pmYou assume that the refs see 100% of fouls and call them differently, and that simply ain't so - they miss calls all the time and Philly benefitted from several of them through the playoffs - and these players are pros, they know where the refs are and what the refs can and can't usually see.

Re: Super Bowl 57
The irony of the Bradbury call is that he had to foul because he lost the route at the beginning and if he hadn't grabbed shirt it was six. If he hadn't fouled and had been beaten for the TD.....Eagles get the ball back down by 7 with plenty of time for a last drive and, if they score, a chance to win it in regulation. You never know which plays are going to be the difference makers
