NFL Conference Championship Sunday: Blake Bortles' Date With Destiny

As an LSU fan, that was like watching, well, an LSU game. And in the end, Bama/N.E. won again.

 

re: The pass interference debate, couldn't you just leave it up to the refs whether it's a spot foul or 15 yards? If you just tackle the guy when he beats you, spot foul. If he's legitimately playing defense and just bumps too much, 15 (or 25) yards. I realize that's a grey area, but hell, it's pass interference anyway, which is the greyest of the grey anyway.

 

Yeah, giving the refs that kind of discretion won't cause any further bitching.

 

A little before my time.

Frogs may invade the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, though.

 

Probably already have - their induction process sucks.

 

In my mind, it's at peak bitching already, so why not add some more?

 

Wow. The Vikings know how to implode in big games better than just about anybody. Literally everybody on Minnesota’s sideline gave up when it was 31-7. ... I don’t know why, but it really pisses me off that Zimmer didn’t just kick a 25-yd FG when it was 4th-and-goal from the 8 midway thru the 3rd qtr. Minnesota trailed by basically 4 scores at that point, and there was still over 21 minutes left. The game was 100 percent over when they failed to convert that 4th down. ... Everyone in Minnesota is saying on Twitter that that was a totally unacceptable lack of effort by the Vikings, but you also have to give Foles some credit for throwing effing DARTS tonight, even on deep balls.

 

Actually, the people of twitter are going to have to accept it.

 

If I can work up the effort tomorrow I’ll post the picture of the Viking ship on fire I have in the past.

 

Dude, were you channeling YF on the Politics Thread?

 

So they don't score a TD and the Eagles take over on their own 8 and go 92 yards to make it a bigger blowout, even though it was pretty much over before then. If the Vikings kick the field goal to cut it to 31-10, you think the defense comes out and stops the Eagles?
