NFL Snow Bowl

If you can, check out the Bills vs Colts game. Looks like little kid football. Cable version Red Zone keeps cutting to it to show funny plays. Guy missed a FG by about 40 yards. Lol.

Maybe the Bills were demoted to Pop Warner after the Pats kicked their asses.

I still can’t believe the refs didn’t eject Gronk for that.

If you did that to someone on the street you would be arrested. He should have been tossed out for the remainder of the season.

Maybe if he had more of a reputation for being a “dirty” player like Suh from Miami....

To be fair, a whole lot of legal NFL hits done to someone on the street would get you arrested.

It was very confusing for us because he is from buffalo. I can't imagine his family, who owns a successful local business, enjoyed fielding questions all week about what the hell that was about.

This isn’t his first incident though and regardless of past reputation intentially injuring someone after the play deserves an automatic ejection.

I'm wondering if a player intentionally hurts another player. It that player should have to sit out with out pay as long as the player he hurts is injured. I played very competitive sports as did my dad and brother and cousin. Been around sports all my life. But now I can hardly stand to watch pro sports.

Sounded like your Hawks game got down and ugly at the end. Carroll and players ejected, one Hawk tried to climb into the stands after fans threw what looked like drink ice at him. The NFL is imploding slowly but surely. Never seen a season like this one ever in the over 40 years I have been watching.

He'll be under Vontaze Burfict scrutiny now. More 15 yard penalties for the same stuff he's always done. I'm curious to see how BB will correct his behavior.

to me it looked like defensive player pushed Gronk before the INT. pass interference wasn't called, probably due to a league-wide effort to undermine the Pats. Gronk, frustrated by another no-call, lost his temper and went in for the late hit.

For those of you who are still watching football this year the good news is you can get tickets for around $10-$20 per seat. Even with that they can’t even fill the stadiums.

I doubt any of that was going through Gronk's mind. He tends to play within his emotions, not within his head (that's what makes him a beast). He failed to control his emotions and took a cheap shot. It's not the first time, but from now on he'll lose all ties when the flags come out.

And the league wide conspiracy theory is tin hat IMO. The refs aren't conspiring against the Pat's. Some crews call everything, some crews let them play. I prefer the crews that leave the laundry in their belt. The game plays faster, and my team gets the same advantages when we have the ball.

Gronk got emotional, but damn, Michael Bennett got malicious at the end of the Jags game. There needs to be a suspension over that move.

Apparently Gronk was very frustrated with the lack of calls by the officials. I wished he would have taken that frustration out on one of the refs, since they were the cause of it. The punishment for that would have been incredible, as it should be.

Gronk flat out said in the post game that it was a reaction to the no call on the previous play and earlier plays. Being his size, much like Lebron, he doesn’t get nearly as many calls go his way. Still laughable he would respond so idiotically.

Gronk wasn’t try to end anybody’s career. Not his thing..he’s not like that.He was tight from a lot of no calls and that ohhh man I’ve had enough let’s rumble with your older brother after he beats you 5 straight times in madden 21-0 throwing the controller and were fighting til we get separated thought process was most likely it. Very emotional dude.

Well no one is trying to end anyone's career when they play and I doubt it's anyone's thing (except maybe for Burfict).

Crazy, it seemed the Jags were trying to take the most "physical" or some may say "dirtiest" team title away from the Hawks and we responded to ensure that everyone knows who is on top in that department. We will set the all time record for penalties this year. It is somewhat embarrassing for some of the fan base. Some revel in it....

One loss this season we had -160 yards in penalties. Without any doubt, it cost us the game. We are not good enough to continue with undisciplined play. Hard for me to watch the NFL anymore. Much prefer college football.

I know it is bad form, but I watched it live and it is so astonishing, I just can't help but LOL. When he did it, I said, "what are you 8 years old" at the TV.

Great snow game and glad the Bills won as I had them on my picks.

This has been a weird year. Between the pre-game antics and the lawyerization of replay decisions, the league has taken the recreation out of Sunday football.

Wentz is out for the season, the boyz suck without Zeke, and my Bears have talent but no coaching (Fox’s 300 mph mouth agape gum chewing makes it all the more painful to watch). Let’s just skip to the playoffs.

Exactly, with Wentz out, not sure there is anyone to give the Pats much trouble. Totally respect what they accomplish, but it gets old...LOL

Thought the Saints were close, then they stumble, same for the Rams, Vikings and other potential contenders. Rams have a lot of young talent and a talented young coach. If they can play D they should be tough in the years to come.
