I saw quite a few forearms thrown by the Seahawks Sunday. They would go for a tackle, then throw a forearm. I can't remember who all was doing it, but i saw it done more then once, and it never was called by the refs.

Yea I did notice that. I actually saw one guy after a Packers kick return repeatedly punching someone in the back. Was right in front of a Zebra too. In my opinion the Refs are really, really bad this year.

In no way am I saying it's right, but it happens all the time.

With fines on some sort of performance rating scale... it has gotten to the point where you expect about 3 to 5 bad calls a game.. and just hope they don't spring up at critical junctions of the game. Or that they are distributed between the two teams.. not like the Vikes vs Lions this past week.. talk about horse pucky calls going against a single team.

What kills me is when they miss a call even after reviewing it. The Lions fumble was a bad call exacerbated by the ref blowing the replay. At least in the Chargers-Broncos game Hochuli admitted it was a blown call but was not allowed by rule to overturn it. I can swallow that as he's human, but the league needs to allow for such so that the correct call can be made when the ref knows he blew it. If the point of replay is to get the call right, why isn't it being used for that purpose? I also think they need more officials on the field. You're asking middle aged men to keep up with world class athletes out there, and that's just unreasonable. We have the technology to aid the officials. Let's use it more efficiently.

No, full-time employees. NFL officials currently are part-time employees which makes as much sense as expecting a McDonald's fry cook to make you a gourmet meal.

Cheesey,

I saw that.. BTW, I thought his form was pretty bad. His stances were off, his breathing was pretty bad and I heard no yell as he delivered the forearm. And the punch was a little better but not much.

Those guys wouldn't last 20 seconds in the ring... :icon_smile:

    dfosterf (12h) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (13h) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (13h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (14h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (14h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (14h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (14h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (14h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (14h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (14h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (14h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (14h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (14h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (14h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
