Week 6: 49ers @ Browns

[Tlyons]

Just finished watching the game. Thank god they don’t review penalties. Those last two on our final drive to go up. Yikes

To be fair, in real time that absolutely looked like a personal foul. And it can't be reviewed. It's honestly about time we got on the other side of those terrible ref calls.

The Cooper hold was on first down iirc and way less meaningful than that PF call.

Edit: PF was the correct call. Get fucked commentators.

 

[Tlyons]

Olsen's bias showed more than once.

I get it. The play was bang-bang, but it's the definition of the rule. Blatantly arguing against it only creates fan discontent and boosts social media activity. If the broadcast explain the rules, or that jerk off Dean Blandino did; you'd see far less upset people.

I wonder how many less fans would be upset about that DPI call in the OSU/Miami Championship game had the commentator not screamed "BAD CALL, BAD CALL" to millions of people watching live on tv.

1. illegally launching into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (i) leaves both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (ii) uses any part of his helmet to initiate forcible contact against any part of his opponent’s body.

Does the "and" here mean both things have to happen?

I am really enjoying 49ers fans crying about referees.

Welcome to our world, man. You'll get no sympathy here.

 

[The Oi]

The refs could literally walk out onto the field after a playoff game and announce that they fixed it for the Browns and intentionally broke a QB’s patella and I would give zero shits.

After all the “name games” that Browns fans have experienced and bullshit calls that have contributed to them, I have zero sympathy.

Who cares. It was a late call not a bad call, but even if it had been a bad call OSU won, Canes lost and that's what matters.

At the game yesterday, dealt with some really nasty SF fans. There were a lot of fans there, and most weren’t doing anything out of the ordinary.

There were a couple of really bad apples. Way worse than any other game I’ve been to. Even with Pittsburgh fans it remains mostly playful.

I feel like cheering for your guys, or playful boos and jabs are all par for the course. These guys were even making comments about Nick Chubb.

I don’t know what that’s about, but that made the win much sweeter. 49ers fans are way up on the hate list.

They were probably from Youngstown

I don't care about what people think. This was more about how commentators can control narratives when they're being asshats.

Yeah; fuck that whiny POS Dan Fouts.

And yeah Greg Olsen was a whiny POS yesterday too. He was god awful. Looking forward to Tom Brady taking his job next season.

If you don't care about what people think then why does it matter who controls narratives? I must be missing something.

Whenever I see the word "narrative" I replace it with "bullshit". Solves all sorts of problems.

You don't have to care what people think to comment on a phenomena. I think it's remarkable that one person can steer millions of peoples' thought process, even if momentarily so.

Hope this helps.

When it happens all the time, it becomes unremarkable. I used to be fascinated by cult leaders until you realize there are plenty of sheep in this world.
