NFL 2017 Conference Championship Thread

Jags are being pretty handsy with the PI. The cooks one before the half felt like a make up call.

Telvin Smith covering Cooks is not ideal.

And not the first time, wtf?

They play tight M2M, it always looks handsy. It's infuriating isn't it?

And a little something for the late game:

When your hand is being held back while the pass is coming in that is not tight man to man. Not infuriating, but the refs are letting them play for the most part. I actually prefer it this way.

I find it infuriating most of the time because all sorts of sh*t happens when they're tight like that because the refs have a tough time seeing things.

Myles Jack is gonna get an unsportsmanlike called on him if he keeps things up.

The Jags are out-Patsing the Pats in this game. Esp. exploiting the weaknesses and tendencies in the Pats D.

Gotcha. The Jags are playing smart though. They are taking everything the refs will give them. And dominating on the other side of the ball too.

What in the hell was that?

Ball is loose. He starts to pin it against his leg as he goes to the ground, but that's not control.

CONFIRMED. Myles Jack takeaway!

If that was overturned, that would have been indisputable visual evidence that the refs were bought off.

Everyone here is shocked that the review (correctly) went against the Pats.

Also, Tony Romo had something to drink today, didn't he?

I'm not sure it was actually loose, but it was close enough you can't overturn. It's one of those plays where it basically has to stand as to whatever it was called, because it's iffy.

He certainly sounds like he’s having a lot of fun.

Too much zone, too many linebackers chasing receivers.

If the Jags settle for a field goal on this drive, I fear they lose 24-23.

Bortles and the offense needs to put a drive together.

Well, this has certainly gotten interesting.

Jags with the stop. Offense gets another chance to grind out clock.

Maybe I am being stupid but I saw multiple plays with at least two Patriots defense or offense committing Holding and while normally I'd rather they play the game this is ridiculous given the end of the first half. The announcers constantly singing the praises of Brady is also irritating.

On the plus side, watching these two teams and the end of Saints v. Vikings has me feeling better about the Eagles. I don't have as good a gauge of comparison and I feel like they are as solid as many of these other teams. I have always feared they were awful in some ways or not as good, but I feel my assessments recently of the team haven't been too bad.

They've got to get a long drive.

Bortles has thrown a couple very interceptable balls on these last few drives.

Very similar to the second half of last year’s super bowl. Offense can’t get anything going letting Brady get back in the game.

Well, it's Bortles time.

It alllll comes down to Booooooortles. Quick, someone tell him it’s garbage time!

It's up to Bortles.
