NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Gronk not expected to play; Jamaal Charles out...

 

New Orleans Saints starting RCB - P.J. Williams is being carted off the field.

 

Browns up, 20-2 on the Ravens...

 

Wow... I expected a close game but nothing with this much tilt towards Cleveland early on.

 

Patriots 21, Miami 0. 11 minutes left 2nd Q.

 

Jimmy Garoppolo left Sunday's Week 2 game against the Dolphins with an apparent right shoulder injury and is questionable to return.

 

Terrible news for Jimmy and the Dolphins are fighting back... 31-24, Pats.

 

And the refs don't know what a fumble is. Cost Cincy the game. Tyler Boyd was clearly down before he lost that ball.

 

Dolphins running back Arian Foster left Sunday's game loss to the Patriots with a groin injury. He didn't return to the game.

 

Lions running back Ameer Abdullah left with a foot injury and didn't return.

Only thing I could come up with was he couldn't see the ball, so couldn't determine if the ball was moving prior to being down...call me a homer but don't think it would have changed the outcome. Definitely didn't help the Bengals, but on the whole the refs were very quiet today.

 

The refs owed the Steelers after 2 phantom PI calls got them a FG and missing real PI calls against the Bengals all game and a face mask against the Bengals.
Steelers beat the Bengals down and the refs brought them back.

How did that cost them the game? They had to score a TD and a 2 point conversion to tie the game. You need to figure out the rules of football. What cost the Bengals the game wass the Steelers flat outplaying them.

 

Gotta see both sides of things sometimes. Bengals had just gotten a TD and were driving again. I agree that it's likely the Steelers end up winning, but probably by a smaller margin

 

Not what I am saying, Just pointing out that the refs made a lot of bad calls/noncalls that favored the Bengals, this fumble was the only bad call that favored the Steelers. He should watch the whole game before spouting off about something he saw in 30 seconds of highlites.

 

I feel that there were quite a few calls both ways that went uncalled. The fumble, Tuitt's late hit and there were a few holding calls that were missed that could've gone against the Steelers. The Steelers receivers were mugged all day and the phantom PIs and missed holds helped keep the Bengals in it. Refs kept their flags in their pockets for the most part...

 

*It cost them a chance for a legit final drive that was moving. Them getting a TD there was decent odds. Yes they could have been stopped and then need to go for 2 and win in OT and even if they did the Steelers could score again but it was a shitty ending to a game for a neutral guy (or Cincy fan).

 

What do the Rams and Tom Brady have in common? Neither has scored a touchdown this season.

 

Does it count when you guarantee a victory but do nothing when you win?
