Re: Incredible officiating moment in Packers-Vikings
For a lot of fans, the thing that drives them crazy about NFL officiating is the inconsistency. Something gets called in one game, and the identical thing gets ignored in another game. I too thought there was no way that wasn't a penalty.

Re: Neutral? Hah!
Tangentially related factoid: During their Super Bowl era, the Vikings played 10 out of their 11 non-SB playoff games at home. And most of these were before playoff teams were seeded; they just benefited from the luck of the rotation system that many times. The one year they would have had to go on ...

Re: 2023 - and 2021 - more 1980 than 1980??
Nobody was better than 10-3 at this point in 1979 (Hou., Pitt., S.D.), 1993 (NYG), 2002 (Phil., G.B., T.B.), or 2014 (N.E., Den., G.B., Ariz.).

Re: random Overtime/Kicker question
That '83 game resulted in one of John McKay's better tirades. “Capece is kaput. We will not kick a field goal next week if we are on the 2-yard line, the 1-yard line, none.”

Re: Thursday oddity
Per Elias (via the Packers' weekly Dope Sheet), the two Thursday games against Detroit this season mark just the second time that two teams have squared off multiple times on a Thursday in the same season (1926 Chicago Bears/Chicago Cardinals).

Re: The Stupidity Of Thursday Night Football
The end goal, probably, is an 18-game schedule with two bye weeks and a game on every night of the week. I'm sure a scheduling wizard could see to it that no team has fewer than six days' rest between games. It would destroy the rhythm of a football season that we've known for a century, but big dea...

Re: The Stupidity Of Thursday Night Football
Richard Sherman went off at length a few years ago about how impossible it is for players to be physically ready to play Thursday after a Sunday game. Even for the most finely conditioned athletes in the world, the aches and bruises from the previous game are still healing. Throw in how dire the Thu...
