NFL Thread

When you hear that the same crew refereed twelve of their games and they got nearly 80% of so called 50/50 calls it isn't hard to see where the league and refereeing maybe played a role in some of these outcomes. That being said the Super Bowl had two things that removed the ref influence
1. The Eagles completely dominated
2. The game lacked many 50/50 calls that could swing the game

All credit to the Eagles, they played a great game and really made Mahomes look ordinary

You toned it down from the games "are" being influenced (your previous comment) to "maybe". You're showing signs of progress, but you're still tin foil worthy. :D

LRZ staying at Jags...for now?

Don't really know the ins and outs of signings etc. - he's signed to their active rosta but I believe that's because it's the off season so everyone is active, and then at.... some point? it splits to practise squad and full squad. Does he become a free agent at that point, like when he was shelved at Kansas, and Jags have to resign him, or does he just drop down to practise squad?
 
I believe it splits at the start of the regular season, so he can play in pre-season games.

They're under contract until post season but can be signed to any other teams active roster.
 
How does Rugby speed match up vs NFL speed?
When you say Rugby speed I'm guessing you mean 15s. If that's the case, I'd say the NFL has faster players, especially at the wide receiver and defensive back positions. But if you include Rugby 7s, I think it's faster than the NFL. Those 7s guys can really fly. I don't have scientific proof, just a guesstimation.

So the NFL has the fastest but rugby has more fast guys, yep that was my take also.

Everyone on the field can run in rugby, not so on a football field.
 
NFL has the faster guys, just the way the games are designed. They're all about being explosive. The big guys are also often faster than people realise. For example Jordan Davis running a 4.78 40 a few years ago at 152kg is nutty.
