I'm in first place. You should follow my lead....so to speak.

For the uninitiated, ammo is referencing the Isbell to Hutson  pool.

Actually I was refering to the Pick'um Pool.   And as I type this Miami just ties it up.   You going down tonight.


A lot of teams are terrible when their backup QB starts and/or plays regularly.



On offense, add Parker, Fuller, Hurns and Malcolm Brown, along with Tua and they are much better.

Two gentiles bump into each other at a street corner. The first gentile says to the second gentile, “Hey, you own that business up the street, right? How’s business been lately?” The second gentile says, “Great!”

Huh?

That was crazy play!
Live, I thought the Ravens WR got his helmet knocked off, but realized it was the ball watching the recovery. Haven't seen a good replay of the lateral, but it was a heads-up play.

Good for the Dolphins, too! They have been playing inspired defense.

Now that there seems to be so many camera angles, slo-mo, and other technology, the refs/umps/officials in all the major sports are looking pretty incompetent.  The gameplay is just too fast for the naked eye to be responsible for watching so much. Lots of very questionable calls and non-calls every game, every week.  NFL needs to figure something out, especially with penalties.

By and large, I still think NFL refs do a pretty good job at putting themselves in the correct position to make a 'basic' calls (in/out of bounds, offsides, legal formations/motions, ineligible receivers, etc.).
The main problem lie in the subjective calls (PI, holding, legal reception, runner down before a fumble, etc.), and these are compounded when the phantom and/or inconsistent calls come into play.
Some of this can be overcome via challenge or automatic review, but the majority of them can't. If other plays are added to review eligibility, it's likely to increase game times, and the league avoids that like the plague.
I do think there is a place where modern technology could (would?) be helpful. Surely there's a way to use sensors of some sort to determine first downs, whether a player steps OOB on a run, reception, or return, end zone penetration, and so forth.
