Even the announcers are bashing the officiating in this Texans Jags game.

"Eh idk I don't see anything there" (on a drive extending defensive holding call where the CB doesn't even touch him; TLaw throws up his hands though and then they throw it)

"That's about the first one I agree with." (Jags finally get a penalty)

"It's these type of plays that have to get really frustrating as a player, as a coach" (replaying a missed false start on the Jags that even Demeco could see from the sideline)

Reminds me of this classic

I think everyone in the league is pretty much in agreement, I mean just look at em. I've never once seen anything but friendly banter towards opposing fans. Definitely no trash throwing or fighting. Most of the fan base seems to take pride in that kind of behavior too. Every team has jackass fans here and there but in Philly it's truly a part of the culture.

If anything last year's run just put em in the spotlight and Eagles fans did the rest

It worked 1/3 times which was enough to extend the drive and get them the TD. I didn't notice as much outside of that one drive so it probably just sounded like I was bitching for no reason unless you read the comment right as that drive was happening.

They would get a little contact and then fall over flailing their arms wildly calling for a flag. Same shit happened to Fred Warner in the SF game on a PI to put the Bucs at the 1.

It's definitely being coached into the receivers now because why the hell wouldn't you take the free yards on a pass that's otherwise well out of reach? Can't blame the players or the coaching really but it still feels scummy

Vikings receivers just throwing themselves on the ground when they feel any contact at all.

My GOD what a throw from Purdy. Silence those haters! Jimmy G makes that throw 0/100 times.

It feels like they have a full script of talking points and they're just getting through the list. Like CMC does punish at the end of a run, but Mitchell is more of a glass cannon type back. It's like they just subbed his name in there for the "punishing run" talking point

This fox broadcast has been terrible lol. Close up of Purdy's face pre snap instead of showing the formations. Penalties called without even a mention, let alone a replay. Talking about Elijah Mitchell's physicality "punishing at the end of the run" as he gets tackled normally by 3 defenders.

He hasn't looked good but tbh it's hard to tell how much of that is due to scheme. It's probably a bit of both

At least the Browns are being punished for maybe one of the worst contracts of all time. Sucks that the beneficiary is a rapist though. Turns out Watson is the average-at-best unmotivated piece of shit we all know he is. Who could have ever predicted giving him so much guaranteed would bite them in the ass?

I was told this game would be good

It's like they "canceled it out" with an equally bullshit PI call on the next play lol
