Football General Talk

[mtmuley]

You’ve said this before and it still baffles me how you think penalties don’t matter. I’m sure there is a stat or someone could easily figure with a little time, but I’d be curious what percentage of drives that result in an offensive score have a defensive penalty vs do not. Compared to How many scoring drives have an offensive penalty vs do not. My guess is the number of defensive penalties on drives that result in a score far outweigh offensive penalties on scoring drives and I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of drives resulting in scores with a defensive penalty doesn’t outweigh scoring drives with no penalties for either side.

3rd and long - pass interference is an automatic first down which extends the drive

3rd and 6 - 5 yard penalty changes the play

To many on the field = free play for the offense to take a shot downfield- Rodgers was the best their ever was at catching guys subbing in and out

10 yard hold - negates a long run and interrupts the rhythm

Penalties do matter. But what I notice is a lot of coaches and players feel that if a penalty costs them the game, the weren't playing well enough to win anyway. mtmuley

That is a fair statement. As a wrestler we always said if you are blaming your loss on a call the ref made you didn’t deserve to win anyways.

Exactly. If you want to win, do better than the other team.

mighty quiet here for a football night.

Just to stir the pot tonight.

What the heck is the omnipresent line "will have to make adjustments at halftime" all about? This is one of my many pet peeves. If there is an adjustment that needs to be made, why not make it, RIGHT THIS INSTANT. Seems like a crappy line that both announcers and coaches pull out of their back of nonsense in every single game, just to fill the dead air.

And just to toss out another peeve, and a relatively new one for me, is what is the purpose of black warpaint? Seems particularly fashionable on QBs, and now we have the 'Venus Williams" one-sided asymmetry thing, for the first time as far as I have seen. Indoor games, outdoor games, night games, day games, cloudy days, sunny days. Always this ridiculous paint. Seems at least as ridiculous as wearing glam jewelry in a game (why is that even allowed?). Okay, that was a third peeve.

Just to return to a positive note, the game ain't bad. Ain't bad at all. The Eagle are mortal and the Giants are not just pretty faces.

Good push for the rookie.

Pretty good fight for the Giants tonight.

Yeah the adjustment thing is annoying. Like, taking your car to get an alignment vs. Filling it up with gas because the gas light came on.

Good game to watch from backpack deer camp. Glassed up a spike elk tonight and no deer. Moving tomorrow unless morning glassing turns up some action.
Fun game.

Russ has completely lost the team’s leadership role, if he ever had it in NY

If its sunny, the black stripes or any level of paint on the cheeks will reduce the glare on them improving your vision.

Much more impact full on a white skin person compared to brown/ black person.

Not nearly as helpful with reducing night light glare

I think we can mostly say its make up for football.

Yeah I have heard that before. But if it were true, race car drivers and tennis players and golfers and bass pros and a gazillion other people would be all over that. And they wouldn't be doing just one cheek, either. I think it is just fashionable decoration for football players, like those gawdawful necklaces.

Well the impact of glare is going to mostly impact those having to make fast quick decisions instead of wearing sunglasses where having them on could be impractical.

Baseball I believe is where it all started and not football as hitters having to make a split second decision found it easier on their eyes to catch the ball coming at the plate.

Tennis players do wear them but its pretty uncommon in the professional scene. Probably due to the "club attire" etiquette.

Race car drivers and bass pros use sunglasses instead.

Giants taking down Goliath was prety cool to watch...Dart with dagger & swagger, Skatt with bull runs and juice twitch...

 

[seeth07]

Skatt with bull runs and juice twitch...

and also apparently a big mean bully hurting feelings with the "taunting" he did that drew a flag.

I sure do wish we didn't adopt the peewee rulebook to the league. What a joke

On the other hand, perhaps you have forgotten what a bunch of assholes were doing on the field before that rule was in place.

Hopefully Dart and Skattabo can stay healthy. They are really fun to watch.
