11bee Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Oh my... With heavy heart, I have to report to everyone that the NY Giants accused the Pittsburgh Steelers of using under-inflated balls and after thorough measurement of said pigskins - TWO FOOTBALLS WERE FOUND TO BE BELOW NFL PRESSURE LIMITS!! Unbelievable. I hope the league will focus all of it's forces on this flagrant violation of policy and move quickly to restore the integrity of the game. I'm sure that even as I type this post, Ted Wells is being flown to the scene of the crime to begin his detailed and impartial scientific investigation. As soon as his report is completed, it will be submitted to league executives for edits and adjustments. I look forward to Roger acting swiftly and with his usual heavy hand to restore public confidence in the league. Let's just hope the corrupt Steelers organization accepts the millions in fines and loss of draft picks with grace and Ben accepts his suspension without dragging it out and turning it into a media circus like that malcontent Brady did. At minimum, I would suggest that last week's Steeler's win be forfeited and that Low Pressure Ben be immediately suspended pending results of the impartial, scientific investigation - just as a precautionary measure. In addition, all NFL records associated with Ben and his team will be updated to include a *. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/deflate-gate-redux-giants-reportedly-suspected-steelers-of-underinflated-balls-in-week-13-173922481.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 This is why the League will be moving to air-less footballs in 2018. The balls will still be the same size and official weight, they just won't have an air bladder in them anymore thus removing the ability for teams to lower themselves to cheating. They will also help in the battle against concussions and sore lower backs for sideline ball handlers. A leaked prototype photo: A second design concept: New helmets and pads are rumored to be in the design phase by the same company as will be Manufacturing the balls....

Janissary Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Pittsburgh (8-5) and Baltimore (7-6) are in an interesting race. They each have three games left, where in one of those games they play each other. If my calculations are correct, there are 32 possible outcomes. Out of those 32, Pit wins the division in 20 scenarios, Bal wins the division in 5 scenarios, and there are 7 tiebreak scenarios (both having the same overall record). Applying the tiebreak rules (first head to head, then division record) to those 7 scenarios, Baltimore wins all 7 of them. So, in balance, Pit's chances of winning the division is 20/32, Baltimore's 12/32. I didn't realize Steelers' chances were this good. Interesting notes: - In the 20 scenarios that Pit wins the division, they actually lose to Bal 5 times. - In the 7 tiebreak scenarios, Bal beats Pit 6 times. Edit: The above is only true for games with a clear winner and a loser (no ties). Edited December 13, 2016 by Janissary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The Stillers play the Ravens here at home Christmas Day and I hope the weather is like it was today...snowy and cold! I love watching football when the weather is terrible...the more snow the better...especially when I am watching from the comfort of home...LOL! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Can't think of a more boring playoff weekend. SEA vrs Detroit was a blowout. Same goes for Houston vrs Oakland (I'm truly sad the Raiders season ended on such a lame note). Pittsburgh vrs Miami should be a blowout as well. The only game that has serious potential is the Packer's vrs the hated NY Giants at Lambeau. That should be a good one. Hope it's 50 below zero and Eli gets frostbite on his throwing hand. As a Pat's fan, I really, really don't want to see them in the Super Bowl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Its pretty freaking cold here today so the 'Stiller' game should be interesting. I had a chance to go but declined because as much as I love watching snowy, cold, freezing or muddy football my days of freezing my butt off in football stadiums is over! My passion and interest in the game isn't what it used to be so I am content to stay warm and have access to cheaper beer and no lineups for the restroom...and I can change the channel if it's a boring flag infested game of touch football...LOL! Sorry to see the Lions and Raiders go yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Heheh.. Maybe the Giants should have spent less time doing drugs with Justin Bieber and more time preparing for the Packer's game. Have a great off-season boys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Two teams deserve to be going to the Super Bowl, two other teams really shouldn't have even been playing today. Sad about the Packers, seemed like they were just too banged up. A Rogers vrs Brady game would have been awesome. I don't know much about the Falcons but they looked pretty darned scary today. Should be great game. Wonder when Pittsburgh is going to wake up and dump Tomlin? A potentially great team, continually held back by a substandard coach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Greatest comeback ever! What an incredible game!

dekon70 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Your comparing college to the NFL? As for Atlanta's defense, they were just worn out 1/2 way through the 3rd quarter. They were absolutely unstoppable in the 1st half; but you can not be on the field for 93 snaps and not get burned out. That's why there were 3 defensive holdings in a row, they could not keep up anymore. It's just like the NY Giants did to the Pats the last time, NY wore out NE's defense, game over.

As much as I'd like to give all the credit to NE, Atlanta's coach gets a good portion of the blame due to his horrible play calling and time mgmt on their last drive. At NE's 22. Just had to run the ball a couple of plays and kick an easy field goal. Game over, Falcons win. File that up there w Pete Carrol's horrible call 2 years before.

Janissary Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Tip my hat to the Pats. What they've done in the last 15 years is beyond remarkable especially with the salary cap and free agency. To me, coach/GM Belichick is the difference more than anything else (ownership, Brady, players, fanbase...). This would be true even if they had lost the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
