Pokes in the Pros 2021 Edition: Super Bowl LVI

[bladerunnr]

Disappointing loss for Buffalo yesterday.

Go to about the 4:40 mark of this video to see what the press thinks of JA. He is an amazing talent with very little talent around him.

Typical NFL poop officiating. Whether it's bias, human error, or refs steering games towards preferred outcomes, I'm about done with the NFL. If it weren't for wanting to watch Allen I'd be done. It's gotten completely ridiculous, and it sure seems like the league is favoring certain teams and certain outcomes.

NFL wants a Patriots vs. Bucs Super Bowl badly!!!! It would bring massive ratings!!!!! As soon as either Belichick or Brady retires, things will get back to normal again.

[LanderPoke]

I could not believe how bad the Bills got screwed in that one. The no call PI in the end zone was horrendous. There were other no call PIs that were amazingly bad. Of course Brady got all the calls

Not surprised at all.

Still pissed at the non-PI call in the Rams-Saints NFC Title game few years back that coulda helped the Saints go to the SB against the Pats. The NFL wanted Los Angeles in that SB badly..

I wouldn't have called PI on that play in a vacuum. But the PI calls for Brady against the Bills were on plays that were even less pass interference.

I don't know. They're always gonna have a golden boy like Brady, and a golden franchise like the Pat's. I'm thinking Mahomes is next in line.

I agree. Analyzing the single play is a no but since they weren’t letting the bills DBs play tight, you have to throw the flag.

There’s also two defensive holdings that happened to get called when Brady’s o line finally gets called for holding and we didn’t even get to see those. Those were big too since they didn’t convert the 3rd down and got another shot with no loss of yardage.

[WYO1016]

Gotta wonder if Hollister will get to suit up again now

[LanderPoke]

Well that could not have gone worse for Meyer lmao

[OrediggerPoke]

Well that could not have gone worse for Meyer lmao

I believe he is still married so I suppose it could have gone a bit worse.

[Wyokie]

Well that could not have gone worse for Meyer lmao

I believe he is still married so I suppose it could have gone a bit worse.

I'm surprised his wife hasn't filed for divorce.
