Even from that angle it’s marginal. It’s still within 5 yards it looks like and he is barely slowed down and the ball was like 10 yards too far. And as others point out, it’s about consistency. In the biggest moment of the game, you blow a whistle on something that happened multiple times throughout the game. Also, the flag wasn’t thrown when the shirt was grabbed, it was thrown pretty much after the play was over. Finally, pretty clear hands to the face on that play too.

I find it kinda weird that everyone had Cinci coming out of the AFC preseason when Bengals had, at best, the 10th best odds to win the Super Bowl and wasn't even favored to win their division. Shit, in a lot of places, they weren't even expected to make the playoffs. Buffalo though, they were the preseason darling so that makes total sense.

Yea, it doesn't make much sense. I agree that Bieniemy should absolutely be getting a shot but for some reason, just not materializing and I don't know why. Maybe it's interviewing, maybe it's other things we just don't understand, I really can't say. Because you're right, that offense and Mahomes development has been exceptional and he deserves a shot. Given Reid is one of the best offensive minds ever, how could you not want a guy who's developed under him? Personally, if your choice is between Anarumo and Gannon, I would have chosen the former. Anarumo has become famous for adjusting during the game flow while it was clear it went the opposite for Gannon. Plus, Gannon was working with significantly more talent. I never felt, in any of our games against KC, that we were out coached. Anyway, I'm super happy that the Bengals managed to keep the entire coaching staff together for a 5th consecutive year and with 45m in cap space, this is the year they should go all in. Will they? Probably not but they should.

To be fair, Eagles defense was great all year. Can't make a decision based on one game, especially as being a HC is about more than Xs and Os. And selfishly, I'm super happy about that because that means Bengals keep Lou Anarumo and their entire coaching staff for yet another year of consistency.

I was a bit surprised as well. Bengals DL is decent (also helped by Lou's scheme) but Philly was supposed to be historically good and they just couldn't move the needle much. Major props to the Chiefs OL, which is already very good, but played out of their minds yesterday. On officiating, the issue, like it was last year with the Bengals, is they allow the players to play and then call an automatic first down penalty in a super critical moment of the game that wasn't called once all game. You just can't do that. Games are changed by moments like that, as it was last year and this is the biggest game of all. If you don't call a defensive holding all game, don't call one on a massive third down with 2 minutes left that is SUPER weak.

Man, I'm just so jealous of those OLs. I can only dream of Burrow being as clean as Mahomes/Hurts was all game.

Eagles and Bengals fans now have something in common - super sketchy defensive holding calls that weren’t called all game until a critical third down at the very end of the game. Great game but man that really marred it.

Thing is, he couldn't. His contract cost was something like $20m a year and not everyone would pay that, not to mention the draft picks they'd have to give up for him. I think he actually had very limited options.

Agreed. I think that's why I was totally fine with this change. There is going to be so much danger coming that another episode of it doesn't necessarily add to the whole. Thought this episode was brilliant and I'm glad they made this change.

My wife and I watched Avatar on Saturday, which was fine and then saw Avatar 2 this morning and we both really liked it. Maybe it's because we're recent parents but the family shit hit us. Visually stunning as we expected with about 90 minutes of James Cameron underwater porn but I was never really bored of it. Glad I saw it in the theater, just a really fun experience. Also, Stephen Lang plays such an excellent hateable villain. I wanted him to die in the most horrible ways.

I appreciate that it’s just another human-like civilization rather than every other interpretation of other worldly elves that live in impossible beauty and are 900 years old.

I've watched an episode and half so far and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I wouldn't consider it great by any stretch but it's well made and entertaining. That's pretty much all I care about at this point.

Cannot wait. Each trailer looks great.

What? Blah. Both of those scenes were excellent, especially in what it meant to Mav.

I think some of the complaints (mine) are legit. I have a lot of faith this is going to be good. The team behind this pulled off something special with Chernobyl.

It was given as a punt block to Buffalo. It was not.

The butt block has struck again!

More like Rooster stew given DMC's interpretation of the film.

Jesus man. Literally the movie tells you over and over it's not about his death. Rooster tells the chick that Mav blocked his path and that's his issue with him. Mav tells Penny that he blocked Rooster's path and that's why he dislikes him. Rooster tells Mav that he stood in his way and held back his career. I mean, it's literally said 3 times in 3 different scenes and yet you still keep believing that it's entirely about Mav being in the plane when Goose died. Yes, it's tied to his death ultimately because it was a dying wish of Rooster's mom but come on, it's not about the fact that Mav was there with Goose when he died. Not a clue why you keep telling us it is.

I was 2 years old. I didn’t see it until the 90s and don’t remember enough of the 80s to be nostalgic about it.

If you think Roosters characterization is about his dad dying with Mav being there then I think you purposely chose not to watch the movie given that wasn’t his issue at all.

It should work for this because doing it in 15 would match the books which included 4 very boring books.

Loved it! Incredible movie to see in the theater. The flying sequences were electric, the relationships and their evolution felt real and it had just enough nostalgia and callbacks without being over the top. And I had no problems with Jennifer Connelly's character, not least because she looked absolutely stunning but more because I liked Maverick having an anchor and a reason to "let it go". Great movie that I will immediately see again once it's out.

So good! And he was a pretty damn good fighter pilot too... until you realize he got fucked up by a 17 year old kid who's flown like once...

Iron Eagle is a classic. I will hear no other opinions. It still holds up. “Chappppppppppppy”
