Chargers just forced the game into overtime.
Almost ended it in regulation! Too bad the kick missed.
I was cheering for you guys too! Can't believe the Chargers actually came from behind to win a game. Denver has to play them again next week after a Monday Night game.
Seachickens end in a tie . Redbirds deserved to win , just could not close the deal

Monday Night Football. Denver Broncos vs Houston Texans and their quarterback from last season (besides Manning) Brock Osweiler. Denver didn't think he was worth the money he wanted and let him go. Looks so far like they made the right decision. At halftime, he is 9- 17 for only 46 yards and four first downs. Denver leading 14-6.

The Broncos have paid Trevor Siemian $216,176 so far this season.
The Texans have paid Brock Osweiler $18.6 million since acquiring him.
Denver found their running game again. It was missing the last couple of weeks which put pressure on the passing game and made them ineffective. 190 total rushing yards this week- their season's best. Didn't give up any touchdowns and only 131 yards passing to win 27- 29. Now the revenge match from last week's loss to San Diego again next week. Coach won't be out this week (the offense was terrible without him). Needed the win to keep pace with the Raiders. Chiefs are only half a game behind them too now. Division getting tighter. Chargers playing better now too.
On the negative side, Denver converted only three of eleven third downs. First time this year Denver did NOT let the other team score on their first two possessions. But despite that, they are only allowing just under 17 points a game.

Chargers still gonna be tough next week. Last season San Diego had a lot of injuries. They are pretty healthy overall right now. Denver hit a lot of teams at times they were beat up and missing key players- that is how they won many games. Denver defense is still kinda weak against the run- they allowed 140 yards tonight. Against the pass, they are #1.

Such venom! You have me confused with the other poster you argued with on the last page. But for giggles, did you not see the non-call on the field goal leap that should have been a penalty and a retry from even closer range? The Seahawks have the amazing ability to never get called on penalties that would decide a game. Must be nice being an anointed team year after year no matter how good or bad they play.

I wonder why? Two weeks later and people still pretending Julio didn't commit an uncalled penalty on Sherman.
If you actually knew how to watch football you'd notice they have for the past few years been way over penalized. There are more penalties called on them than there should be. Often it's a holding penalty in key situations, when you could almost literally call holding on every team on every play. Or it's a complete phantom call. Also I guess the refs missed one, you could barely even tell he touched the Olineman on his way over. It's a dumb rule anyway, it makes it where the Olineman can just reach up and touch the defender and it's a penalty on the defense. The rule used to simply be that you can't use one of your own players to launch off of.

It isn't a problem if it isn't really happening. The opposite is happening. Teams complain all the time, it doesn't mean they are right.
You want to call the patriots cheaters? Yeah they've cheated possibly every single game of the brady era. Have the Steelers benefitted from clearly bought refs in the postseason? Absolutely, each SB run and even last year against the Broncos. Did the Panthers cheat most of last year? Damn straight. Have a few other teams? Yep. The Seahawks? The Seahawks are the one team I've seen consistently get buttfucked by the refs the past few years. This is coming from a 49ers fan btw, I have every reason to call bull$#@! if the Seahawks pull it.
Hell the SB between the Seahawks and Broncos would've been at least 63-0 if the refs didn't spend 3+ quarters raping the Seahawks trying to keep the game close.

As you've said, there's been calls and non-calls that have affected every game. The refs control the game, and it's outcome. Watching Gronk do his little dance before spiking the ball the other day and not being flagged is an example. Some teams have latitude, some don't. Some players do, some don't. The ratings have been down; in my little world a lot of casual fans have lost interest due to the NFL being relegated to "flag" football. The Eagles committed blatant DPI last week, the refs flagged it, and then picked up the flag? Sherman commits blatant DPI on a critical drive 2 weeks ago and it is ignored. Why it is more visible with the 'hawks is because their offense is inept and the games are close. Every blown call is magnified in importance.
All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the State.
-Albert Camus
Julio committed a penalty on Sherman on the same play. As has been discussed and ignored a few times already in this thread. Play pretend all you want. If the refs were on the Seahawks side why was at least one of their late drives against Arizona killed by penalties? They could've simply not thrown a flag and Seattle would've possibly won in regulation.
Feel free to find and break down entire game film if you want to accuse the Seahawks of cheating or benefitting from refs cheating. The whole Carroll era, I'll sit down and debate it all with you or anyone else, game by game, play by play.
Yeah Gronk commits plenty of penalties, usually uncalled offensive PI, especially on TD catches. The patriots got busted for deflating balls and suddenly we knew how they'd led the league in least fumbles for 10 straight seasons. Well besides also having the refs and the NFL in their pockets.
The NFL is a pussy version of what it was in the 90s. Back then you could actually hit people and QB stats meant more since, well, they could actually get hit.

Eagles beat the Vikings?
Wow, Viking are much less good than anticipated.
But hey, Sam Bradford is Sam Bradford.
Don't worry though, Dallas will solve your Eagles problem on Sunday.
Hopefully the 49ers lose. We need to get high draft picks.

Seahawks are getting buttfucked by the refs again.
I am the spoon.
Any of the "Seahawks get away with murder" $#@!wits watching this game? These refs should $#@!ing suicide. The only penalty the Saints have committed that has been called was a false start.
I am the spoon.
Seahawks had a shot there at the end. Raiders Buckaneers (Pirate games!) just went into overtime as Raiders missed a 50 yard field goal.
With Chiefs winning, should Raiders lose and Chargers beat Denver this afternoon, the AFC West will have three teams tied and one just a game back. (Actually since they already had their bye, the Chiefs would be half a game ahead of Denver/ Raiders). Broncos need to win. If Raiders, Broncos win three teams will have two losses.
