angus, you're due for NYG to start playing well.......

'Speck, when your waaaaay behind you take a ton of chances. 90% of them isn't paying off.... Fantasy is about as good. Although, I should win my 1st playoff game, in the losers bracket...Lol

Not a Cam fan, but, he got hit in the head while in a slide and no flag, except for him flipping the ball at the defensive player. Poor call. Can't target the head even if not in a slide.....

Cam will need another sit down with Godell. The last promise has worn off.

The officiating this year has been so uneven. Either they throw flags for every little thing or turn a blind eye. How much are the ref being paid now? It's too much!

refs blew a few calls in the Steeler game too. pass in the end zone with an inadvertent facemask. ref was standing 5' away and missed it. he wouldn't have caught it anyway and it wasn't intentional but should have been a flag.

Vontaze Burfict slammed Ben to the ground long after he threw the ball. Ref threw a flag for personal foul but Ben went up to Burfect to say something and Burfect head butted him. no flag for that though.

lots of missed pass interference calls all season on both sides. i guess in the end it pretty much evens out. i know if can't be an easy job but geeesshhhh.

How about the ineptitude of the league office, also ... you can celebrate alone, but not with a prop or another team mate ... and if you are Antonio Brown, you can't celebrate alone either (same with Odell Beckum). But if you are Ezekiel Elliot you can jump into a prop and get flagged and not get a fine? Not disagreeing on the no fine for Elliot, just pointing out the "whim" of the league office to do what it wants.

It was the best advertising possible for a worthy cause. Trust me...if he jumped into something else, he would have been fined. NFL didn't want to look like scrooge.

Deangelo Williams did shoes to highlight breast cancer that his mom succumbed to ... good cause, got fined ... but it was BEFORE breast cancer awareness month. Please understand, I agree with your statement. I am glad he did not get fined for it ... just pointing out that the NFL is very selective in who and what they fine ... based on a whim and the mood of the front office. If it was even across the board, it would be different. But to appear arbitrary in your punishments is not good for the sport.
