    The flags last night were a debacle. I understand that it is the preseason and that games may be called differently once the real thing starts. I just don't want to see key plays negated all season because a defensive back lightly touched a receiver beyond five yards. That waters down the product.

    Yeah, the flags have been ridiculous so far this preseason. It's almost impossible for there to be zero contact at all between a DB and WR. There was a play in the Bears game Thursday night where the WR initiated the contact with the DB, but the DB got flagged. I really hope this doesn't happen in the regular season...we're going to be looking at 3.5-4 hour games being a normal thing.
    yeah there is no way they can call things that tight once september rolls around. i think it's going to be like college basketball last year with all those whistles early in the year then it died down...

    more so than than the contact between the db and the wr is the hands to the face in the trenches. that is how football is played. most of it is incidental contact too. last night's game with the eagles was pretty much unwatchable...though i heard belichek and kelly told the refs to call a tight game to have their players be more prepared

    Oh yeah, the hands to the face thing on the line of scrimmage has been awful too. And like you said, a majority of the time it is just incidental contact. It's bad enough to be watching preseason football, but now the games are lasting 3.5-4 hours. Ridiculous.

    No one understands what a penalty or catch entails. So they have replay, which still doesnt clarify things and slows down an already slow game. A 60 minute game takes 3+ hours. What do we really watch?

    I dont understand why anyone attends non-primetime games. Much better to be on the couch flipping directv or watching the red zone channel.

    Goodell ruined this league. (I dont want to hear about how popular the league is. Shit like american idol and justin timberlake are also popular, even though both are beyond horrible. The american public is dumb)

    Watch college football. Its a billion times better. Only sport where volcanoes can affect games. Amazing!!

    and fuck phil simms and mike carey. the nfl should have told carey to work whatever games they assigned him to. i guess it's ok to work games with players convicted of felonies, wife beaters, drug offenders and every other crime but god forbid he works a game because of a team name. how high and fucking mighty of him. and simms says he won't say the name redskins on the air this year. shut up Phil and say whatever the fuck the name of the team is or get another job. PC bullshit in this country is so out of fucking control

    Yeah, those 2 are just trying to create headlines for themselves. Just when you thought Phil Simms couldn't get any worse. And Mike Carey saying he didn't want to ref a game because of the name of a team??? Just shut up and do your fucking job.

    I don't see anything wrong with Carey keeping it private while he was working and talking about it now. Dude quietly stood up for something he believed in for 6 or 7 years or whatever and mentioned it now that he is gone. Good for him. I think it says more than that he did it before there was a media firestorm around it as well.

    I have asked off projects at work because I don't believe in things ethically or morally. My boss respected my opinion and didn't tell me to just do my fucking job. I see nothing wrong with it.
    so i guess then we can say Mike Carey has no problem with convicted dog fighters, wife beaters, drug offenders, etc. since he had no problem working their games.
    Dude thats every nfl game.

    For some unbeknownst reason, the nfl gets away w murder and everything else.

    I hope mark cuban is right. Luckily, the godell effect continues...

    Will be interesting to see if you are right. My bet is the One Direction management sees this as the perfect opportunity to get their band booked at the Super Bowl. Do they need it? Nope. Do they give a shit about the coin it will take to secure this spot? Even less than they need it.

    i was watching some of the 49ers replay last night....new stadium looks pretty cool. you said you did work there? what's it like in person?

    Driving around getting high a couple hours before the team flight. Unreal. And then Tomlin plays both guys in the game the next day...what is this, Baltimore??

    I missed that trip. One of my clients sold product to them and went out to visit last year as they were building. Had other things going on and couldn't fly out. I sent one of my guys to conduct another site survey about a month ago. We finish our installations actually the week before their home opener. Hope we get everything in place correctly! (I am the Sales Director and this is one of my Accounts so I consider that "I am doing work there" but I actually sold installations at every MLB park and we are working on most of the NFL stadiums now...and I dont get to go to most. Could have gone to this one though! I sell/deliver the work, some guys who work harder than me but get paid less do the actual onsite work, :) )

    I walked in from picking our nephew up from football practice last night and my wife had the 49ers replay on and was freaking out that they were not showing "her Eagles" on NFL Network as I had told her they would earlier in the day. I grabbed the remote, flipped over to ABC and watched the Birds eat up the Steelers. Lol.

    49ers have looked crappy this preseason but I am very impressed with Chip Kelly's offense -- once again Sanchez looked solid. Fucking 49ers trade for the modern day Ryan Leaf to be their backup and could have just signed Sanchez off the street. Shite. Really hoping #7 stays healthy!

    ah, okay....what line of work are you in again?

    and if 7 goes down, hey, i'm sure the birds would be willing to part with the sanchise for maybe a 3rd or possibly 2nd round pick perhaps??

    Tech Services -- stage/install/maintain all sorts of tech equipment for Worldwide. (In this case they are pimped out/branded charging stations for cell phones customized for each team and their sponsors.)

    Up yours Aaron Rodgers, I hope you have an awful year on the field.

    (Because it looks like things are going well off the field)

    Craziness.... Just found out today I am getting an all expense paid trip to Green Bay for week 2 vs the Jets :)

    I work for a construction company and one of our vendors is hosting this with a bunch of clients of theirs for an Air Conditioning Manufacturer in Wisconsin that They rep locally. So my boss and I will go.

    Booze and food included.... Only thing is we have to attend a walk thru at their HQ the Monday after the game then fly home.... Small price to pay

    I was there in 2011 for PJ20, which was awesome. My brother is a Packers fan and this is killing him :))

    I'd let him go in my place but they are not having it

    Not a bad Monday ....for once

    I would think it is preferable to go early in the season so you are not freezing your nuts off.

    NFL Gives Josh Gordon a full year...I know hes fucked up a few times, but a year is excessive.

    As dumb as the rules seems, it is in the CBA that the players union agreed to. Gordon is fucking idiot to keep smoking weed.

    The dreaded 4th preseason game coming up....such a joke and a complete waste of time.

    49ers should leave the whole 1st string offense in all game -- maybe working against the Houston 2nd, 3rd and 4th string players will allow them to get some feelings going and look like they are remotely ready for week 1.
