Ravens Steelers game for playoff birth

[Blaster]

42 year old Aaron Rodgers still has some magic in his arm.

Hilarious all the Trumpers are screeching about the game being fixed.

I watched a great game and enjoyed it very much, sorry your delusions got the better of you.

Hilarious WTF you talking about Willis?

Steelers....King of the North!

That's what I saw, and I'd bet wind hooked them.

Both kicks were "mishits". The extra point was a banana ball slice and the 47 yarder by Loop was the classic "wide right" block.

The Magnus effect or divine intervention.

Pittsburgh a tough place to kick in the wind, can't explain Bos missing the XP, but Loop, as I saw this morning, looked to his right at the point of his kick on the missed FG, where all his other XP's and FG's he made he did not.

As toobfreak stated, both defenses put their teams in position to lose that game. Pass defense late in the game collapsed with Ravens and Steelers receivers open by 20 yards.

I'm referring to the missed FG attempts.

I looked at the wind ribbons on the goal posts thinking that the wind might have played a factor but they were not moving.

Folded under the pressure of the situation and missed.....It happens.

 

[toobfreak]

There's a reason.
Aerodynamics?

Obviously, there was a reason. Must have been over-kicked, as many analysts believe, because I saw the replay of the kicks again last night and made a point of noting the flags on the uprights. Zero wind.

I guess pressure gets to the best of us.

There was one play late in the game where a Ravens WR (Likely? Flowers?) got so wide open from the nearest Pittsburgh defender that you could have landed an airplane there.

One of the Steelers was looking around wondering where the rest of the players were!

That was when I was certain that Pittsburgh was going to blow the game, but somehow by some blind, stupid luck, Baltimore refused to win it.

Did they choke or was it wind?

GP Streamers were limp on that BALT FG miss. He sliced it like a golf ball shot?

Conspirators says something in the ball? Weights or magnets. They do use special kicking balls? That's what's going around.

I did not see XPoint miss.

Seriously? Weights or magnets? The guys both just missed the uprights. That is all.

I saw that on Twatter. Im not saying it. But could Weights inside the ball exaggerate slice or hook spin? It would wobble visibly most likely.

Would the league even care who won? Rogers story or Black Lamar? Big markets for and revenue? Seems not possible.

Betting sites might care. Officials call are usually what can turn a game. See TB & CAR calls for recent.

See GB calling TO at 1sec to kick a meaningless FG. Internet in uproar because it cleared the q3.5 spread? I say maybe they wanted to practice kicking unit? Did not want to be Shut out?

Steelers/ Ravens. Great nail biting game all around. Now if You watched the Dolphins game with two receivers wide open and the QB throws long into coverage. Now that would make anyone go hmmmmmmmmm.

My first thoughts were wind gusts, but that ended up being ruled out. Balls just don't turn on their own, has to be a reason....Physics.
I mentioned aerodynamics. There's a thing I found, called The Magnus effect, it deals with lift generated by spin and wobble on balls in different sports. With a wobbly kick, it's generating lift at the same time, and which ever side generates the most lift, wins in that direction. It even depends on a right or lefty kicker. I found a link on my Android last night that explained it pretty good. I'm on PC now, I'll look later.

The kickers couldn't handle the pressure.

The league is very tight on stuff like that, it would be devastating to the NFL. Besides, both teams had balls shank right, so where was the advantage?

I'm sure they were just bad kicks, no need to imagine some fantastic conspiracy.

I'm more prone to believe it had something to do with that priest who blessed the end zone.

 

[leftwinger]

Miles Garret late sack on Burrow looked suspect. Like Joe just went down to "give it to him". Then they let him celebrate at CIN? Some are not happy.

Stafanski now fired today.

Disclaimer: I only saw one replay.

 

[leftwinger]

Is this corruption?
