Damn, we lost but damn it seems the refs was a bit meh with the flags, it's still a lost yeah but idk that one where the dude barely touched his helmet, and got the flag, but then you get fucking matt ryan and slam him to the ground AFTER the balls gone and it's nothing? really? okay :laugh: but that wouldn't had changed the game much, but could have gave us a better chance. But it's a lost, I still love my team and always will. But saying this now the 49ers I hope they lose the damn Superbowl, Idc who wins this Ravens and Patriots game, but that's who the hell I'm rooting for in that game cause I won't ever cheer for who knocked us out EVER. That's how it's always been for me so remember I said it here first. Winner of the AFC is my team for the Superbowl.

Re: NFL Discussion--Keep it all in Here

LOL, this game is even more fixed than the Ravens/Broncos one was last week. First the officials don't call offensive pass interference TWICE on one drive which Baltimore eventually gets a touchdown on. Now they don't call a helmet to helmet hit that leads to a New England fumble. This game is a fucking disgrace to anyone who's a football fan. Oh and to make matters even odder, if the Ravens end up winning this game the two Harbaugh brothers will be coaching against each other in the Super Bowl. That makes me chuckle given how often they're involved in shady coaching decisions that could be construed as game-fixing.

That hit was clean, really nothing they could do about that. And fuck the Pats like they haven't had games given to them.

It was helmet to helmet. That's called 99.9% of the time. Anyhow, I don't really care since I bet on the Ravens to cover the spread, but just once I'd like to watch a game without shady officiating. It seems like that never happens anymore.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

That's hit is called on QBs and wideouts but not on RBs. I think it's shitty refs not shady refs. If I start to believe conspiracies in football it would ruin it and Id stop watching and I can't do that

I hate helmet to helmet calls. Ridley lowered his head where is the defender supposed to aim for his ankles?

Damn right! I may have been disappointed the entire night since the game ended, but that won't ruin the fact that they are my team. It was a great game, definitely not the outcome that I wanted, but we will have our day eventually.

Re: NFL Discussion--Keep it all in Here

I was 2 for 2 today...but could be to little to late in my pool still down 7 points with a lot of people ahead of me and I doubt they will all pick the 49ers since I am going with the Ravens

So you can get suspended indefinitely in the NFL only to get the suspension overturned in a year. So what is the point?

Spoiler

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The NFL has reinstated Gregg Williams after suspending him for his role in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal, and the Tennessee Titans have added him to their coaching staff.

The NFL ended Williams' indefinite suspension Thursday and approved the Titans' one-year contract with Williams. Tennessee also announced in the same release that Williams had been hired as a senior assistant coach for its defense.


The league issued a statement saying that commissioner Roger Goodell cited several reasons for reinstating Williams, including that Williams accepted responsibility for his role in the bounty program, and pledged to never be involved in any pay for performance system and to teach safe play and respect for the rules.

"The commissioner emphasized that Williams must fully conform to league rules and will be subject to periodic monitoring to confirm his compliance," the NFL said in its statement.

Williams, suspended indefinitely in March 2012, is the last person involved in the scandal to be reinstated by the league. New Orleans coach Sean Payton had his suspension lifted Jan. 22.

Saints general manager Mickey Loomis was suspended for eight games and assistant head coach Joe Vitt for six. Four current or former Saints players were also suspended after an investigation found the club had a performance pool offering cash rewards for key plays, including big hits. The player suspensions eventually were overturned.

Williams coached for the Saints between 2009 and 2011 and was hired as defensive coordinator by the St. Louis Rams in January 2012 before being suspended. Williams had been free to look for a new job in the NFL since the playoffs started, and now he is returning to the team where he got his start in the league back in 1990.

The Titans scheduled a news conference for Thursday afternoon with Williams expected to be on hand along with Titans coach Mike Munchak.

Kuharsky: Change In Philosophy?

KuharskyThe big question about Gregg Williams' hiring is how much influence or control he will have and how the Titans will divide work between him and Jerry Gray, writes Paul Kuharsky. Blog

"I have known Gregg for over two decades and have seen him work his way up from a quality control coach to a head coach," Munchak said in a statement. "He will bring a great deal of defensive knowledge and energy to our staff. The decision to bring him here only came after going through a thoughtful and thorough process."

How well this move works remains to be seen, but Munchak faces a must-win situation going into his third season as head coach.

The Titans missed the playoffs in his first season on a tiebreaker in 2011 before slumping to a 6-10 record in 2012. Fans have not been happy that Munchak has kept Jerry Gray as his defensive coordinator after a season in which Tennessee set a franchise record by allowing 471 points, gave up at least 30 points in seven different games and ranked 27th in yards allowed.

Munchak previously made only one move on his defensive staff, firing linebackers coach Frank Bush and moving Chet Parlavecchio from assisting with special teams to linebackers coach.

Williams will be working with Gray, the same man he took with him to Buffalo when he was hired as the Bills head coach in 2001 after four seasons as Tennessee's defensive coordinator under then-coach Jeff Fisher. Gray also worked with Williams at the Washington Redskins between 2004 and '07 before Williams worked with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2008 and then with the Saints.

Williams is back to work would you work for him or want to help coach your team?
