Bama Panther

TBH, I’m not sure any team is going to breakthrough in the AFC as long as Mahomes and Reid are in KC. With Reid’s run in Philly followed by his run in KC, I’d give him the mantle as GOAT coach over Belichick.

It’s very akin to a “Dungy in Tampa” or “Marvin Lewis in Cincinnati” situation. Those Bucs and Bengals teams could get to the playoffs but just never could break through.

I’ve never bought into your argument that neither ref could see the ball. Moot point now, but there is no way the guy with a view of Allen’s back should have been the one to spot the ball in that instance, especially given the fact that the other ref had a different spot. They should have come together to discuss the difference.

You’re being intentionally obtuse. We’ve all seen plays where one ref comes in for the spot and another overrules, in the common meaning of that word. That is exactly what happened here. It had nothing to do with who gets the ball. Also, “what does seeing Allen’s face vs back have any bearing on it”? The ball was on the same side of Allen’s body as his face, not on the same side as Allen’s back. If the whole point is to see the ball in relation to the line to gain, one viewpoint obviously gives a better chance to do that.

Again, so why should the ref who had a view of Allen’s back get the benefit to overrule the other? If either did see the ball, which one would it have been?

KC O lineman knocked Rousseau’s (I believe is who it was) helmet off with a hand to the face. No call.

That’s a great question, especially when the ref who overruled had Allen’s back to him. Tell me: which of the refs could potentially have seen the spot if the ball, the ref seeing the front of Allen or the ref seeing Allen’s back?

The problem with this is one ref spotted that Allen made it. Why did that ref’s spot not overrule the other’s?

Chasing points has been awful for Buffalo. Had they not chased the points early, KC doesn’t go for 2, and Buffalo would now be up 31-28. Screw the analytics early in the game! Take the points.

Refs are at it again with this spot

Kiser looks lost this drive.

ND can’t go to Leonard that much throughout the game though. What they have to hope is that this 9+ minute drive pays dividends later when Leonard hands it to Love or their other RB with a tired OSU defense.

And now the ref trying to give KC the first down with that god awful spot.

11 minute drive to open the second half. That’s insane!

Which is why replay should review these big call penalties. The ref assumed a penalty occurred.

F these refs.

He absolutely should have just thrown that ball away instead of taking the hit. There was no way he was getting the first, and there’s not enough difference between a 30 yard FG and the 27 yarder it may have been if he had gained a couple yards for him, or any QB, to take an unnecessary hit.

I read something this week that said the NCAA is considering going to a blanket 5 years of eligibility for all student (cough cough) athletes.

The battle will likely be between Ty Simpson, a former 5 star recruit and RS Sophomore, and Keelon Russell, an incoming 5 star. Simpson is a holdover from Saban’s time. Russell is a DeBoer recruit. I don’t know how, or if, that will factor into the equation at all. They could also keep an eye on the portal, I guess, but the pickings are getting slim there, and I definitely don’t want Ewers.

This Alabama fan was ready to move on from Milroe.

It’s Greg McElroy, national championship winning QB for my alma mater, but the dude is such a pompous douchebag as announcer. He always tries to make it about himself by saying something stupid like that.

What an absolutely awful decision by Allar!!!

Allar is ass.

If Allar could hit any non-screen pass, Penn State would be up 14-0 already.

Not when the opponent is playing for its playoff life.
