I haven't seen any video of Skipper making any motion to declare himself eligible. As far as I'm aware, all he did was run toward the ref while Decker was declaring. If he did do that, I'll admit it's shitty and the Lions got what they deserved. Assuming he didn't, I'd say it was valid deception...

Yes, because I'm sure the broadcast feed's audio is totally going to be 1:1 what you're able to hear in a stadium :rolleyes: That's pretty weak. Yes, it's a trick play. So it's YGWYFD territory because the refs fucked up despite the players doing everything right? Really? What level do we need...

I highly doubt it was audible over the PA system. That was probably one of the loudest times ever in that stadium. Even then, how would they have said something, they had no time outs. It's a shitty situation that shouldn't have happened caused by gross incompetence of a ref with a history of...

Not to belabor this, but that shitbag rules analyst was saying this on the broadcast and he was wrong in my opinion. 68 is on the left side, the receiver on the outside of him doesn't appear to be on the line, so, he isn't being covered. This would have been a perfectly legal play if the refs...

His point was that all the elite pass rushers are held on the regular. He's saying it's definitely happening to Parsons, but he's not the only one. Hell, I've seen it happen quite a bit with Hutchinson - he has a tendency to kind of throw up his arms and give up on the play when it happens to...

This seems worded in a very weasely way. Sounds like Brad Allen is done at least I guess. Amod, can this thread be renamed to: The Refs That Suck at Their Job and Don't Go on Paid Leave Thread

So can we just agree this ref crew sucks and shouldn't officiate any more regular season and playoff games. I agree they got a little too cute, but it's not like they surprised the crew, they reviewed the play with them pregame.

That's where I'm at, I don't care about the why of them sucking, just fire this fucking crew before the playoffs. They've already botched 3 or 4 game changing calls this year. They should not be reffing another NFL game ever. I feel the same about Angel Hernandez in baseball. These idiots...

Decker specifically left the huddle to declare eligible, you think he just had a brain fart while walking over to the ref? Multiple players on the field have said 68 declared and 70 did not. The dipshit ref *assumed* it was 70 who declared despite 70 never saying as such. While a historically...

Gonna agree to disagree there. The contact with the facemask was pretty minimal, the linebacker didn't even make the slightest effort to turn around - he was face guarding on the play and didn't time his contact with the TE even close. Anyway, back to the newest screw job.

Considering that directly lead to Bob Quinn being hired as GM and the eventual hiring of Matt Patricia, yes, you can say I'm still butthurt about that call. I would have been OK with offsetting penalties if they wanted to call the facemask, but there's no way there wasn't PI on that play.

Seems like Toyotathon has claimed another victim...

It's the Lions. Part of the fun is seeing how they'll get fucked by the refs in new and interesting ways. Nothing will beat their last playoff game vs the Cowboys where one of the refs threw a flag on a blatant PI call, then picked it up and basically said nevermind.

Something definitely doesn't smell right with their story. They should have already root caused the issue when they ordered the parts. Even if they didn't and were just throwing parts at it, seems strange they'd suddenly decide to tear into it at that point. I guess as long as everything is...

Well that was a horseshit ending. Who was that idiot rules expert? During the replay, you could see Decker talking to the ref, but I'm sure he just forgot to report like that fuckstick was claiming... It's a shame, if the Cowboys lost this game, I think the stupid touchback from fumbling...

Who's that broad? Edit: guess I should have checked the file name!

Believe it or not, the parking brake thing is actually typical of most new vehicles with an electronic parking brake if they have an auto hold function. When you come to a dead stop, it'll engage the parking brake automatically so you can take your foot off the brake and the vehicle won't creep...

Jalopnik is a garbage tier blog run by communists who hate cars, but this was a good article: https://jalopnik.com/vinfast-vf8-electric-car-first-drive-not-ready-for-u-s-1849892217 I also don't see how Vinfast survives in the US. With extremely soft EV demand, I don't see how a vehicle with...

Interestingly, a lot of OEMs are shitting their pants over what they see with the infotainment systems in Chinese vehicles - conversational level voice commands for most aspects of the vehicle, reductive design with very few hard switches, lots of screens loaded with gimmicky bullshit (like rain...

Kind of curious: is it something you can patent? Not sure what kind of contract you had to sign for employment in terms of IP, so, that might be a roadblock. I'm just thinking if you can 3D print it and it becomes popular, it won't be long that others do too and undercut you. Plus, I'd say if...

Alright, up 4 in my fantasy semifinals, got Purdy and my opponent has Isaiah Likely. Just need Purdy to not completely shit the bed. Purdy: proceeds to completely shit the bed like a boss. That game sucked, that is all.

Well? What was the idea?

Well? Did she win?

RIP Mitch...

I'd assume they're some sort of PEM nut. If you have a good set of locking pliers, you could try backing out the bolt - might need to spray with some anti seize. If that won't do it, I think cutting is your only option to get the bolts out. If you're able to get one out, you could try to get...

The only thing I like more than that is when a DB celebrates after the guy he was covering, who had him totally beat, drops the pass.

Where's his stupid fucking pencil stuffed in his hat for when he needs to mark up his laminated play call sheet? Can't wait for the announcers to dust off all the old gems. "HEY GUYS, DID YOU KNOW HE'S ACTUALLY A ROCKET SCIENTIST!!!"

They look like these: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Air-Vent-Black-Aluminum-Slant-Back-Roof-Louver/3017497 I thought about stuffing some steel wool in there, but I figured it would rust pretty quickly, plus I would be slightly concerned about obstruction air/moisture. This is what I was looking...

Good to see the Lions maybe figuring things out. Defense seems to actually be trying to send extra rushers instead of just rushing 4. For offense, the first quarter scared me, Denver was getting a lot of pressure on Goff and he was looking terrible - guy is a statue in the pocket. Glad they...

That's pretty typical in terms of EVs - insurance companies are totaling them if there's any risks to the integrity of the battery. It is kind of funny that they're invoicing the battery that high - I figured it was going to be the labor cost that drove it above sticker. It's going to get...

Was just up in my attic today and noticed all the screens on the attic vents were busted. Any recommendations on a solution? I see some stainless covers that go over the attic vent on the roof side - from an animal ingress standpoint, this seems like the best solution, but I hate nailing...

Some day wheel spats are going to make a comeback, mark my words! I've always wanted to drive one of those in a manual. That's the only hybrid I can think of with one.

Got to say, after having to change a tire once on the side of a freeway, I'm riding that fucker on the rim until I can exit, screw that. The tire looks pretty intact, can't always tell of course until you have it off. I wonder where it failed - kind of wondering if it just came off the bead. I...

Future generations will never feel the joy of stealing a Big Boy and placing it somewhere random...

Sorry, DTC stands for diagnostic trouble code. The powertrain codes are pretty strictly regulated, so, anything that impacts emissions, even in an ancillary way, will turn on the check engine light. End result is you're correct, it's not likely going to show you anything, but it's definitely the...

I'd say default first step is to read DTCs. It's extremely easy and zero risk. I like Bluedriver since it'll read from every module in the vehicle for about 100 bucks, but in this case probably isn't necessary since you're diagnosing powertrain. You can buy a cheap Autel dongle or an ELM327...

My old boss/mentor would always carry his around at work. He never stopped trying to explain to me how great that ass backwards entry system was. I'm sure if you locked me in a room with one of those fucking things for a month it might finally click, but I was perfectly happy with my TI...

Clearly it was to provide the best chance of filling up with dryer lint and creating a fire hazard. Speaking of dryer vents, has anyone used one of these new heat pump dryers that don't use them?

Honestly, I think Stafford would do a better job behind this offensive line than Goff, but I was never a big Stafford fan. Yeah, I didn't phrase that properly at all, haha. I meant it more in the context of the offense he's playing in now. It seems like the defenses have been able to cheat...

If he keeps playing like this, he deserves it. All he has to do against a team like the Bears is protect the ball. He comes out and throws two picks and has a stupid fumbled snap. He had a couple other boneheaded passes that should have been picks too. The defense wasn't great, but they would...
