Eagles-Bengals Super Bowl incoming. The Chiefs have already proven that they can't beat the Cincinatti, and that was BEFORE Mahomes hurt his leg this past game. As for the NFC, I just flat out don't know how the 49ers plan to score against the Eagle's defense. They looked unstoppable in their game against the Giants. At home, with the crowd in their favor and the team playing like it is now, Eagles should defeat San Francisco by about 10.

That was a great foul on the defensive holding penalty. I give the officials for the game a lot of credit for that. 

A great foul or a great foul call?  I'm assuming you meant the latter. 

 Yes, it was a hold.  To his credit, the Philly DB (Bradberry) acknowledged that in his post-game interview.  Here's my only beef:  if memory serves me correct, it was the only holding call of the game against either team.  Playing a game where most people agree you could call holding on every play, not a single holding penalty was called on either team -- offensive or defensive -- until the final 2 minutes of the game. 

Now, you might argue that no holding calls against either team is a reflection of the two best teams in the league -- i.e., they can get the job done without committing holding penalties.   And I've seen some people suggest that KC played the "perfect second half."  KC committed four penalties in the entire game - three offside penalties against the KC defense (one of which was declined because Philly scored anyway) and one false start penalty against the KC offense.  All three of the accepted penalties occurred in the second quarter.   KC committed zero penalties in the second half.  Zero. 

Philly was flagged six times, three times in the first half and three times in the second half.  Ironically, the only pass interference penalty the entire game was called against a Philly receiver (for blocking downfield before the pass was caught).  They also had a 'hands to the face' in the  first quarter and a false start in the second quarter.  They picked up the only three penalties called in the second half -- a delay of game in the third quarter, an offside penalty early in the fourth quarter and then the defensive holding call with less than 2 minutes to play that gave the Chiefs a first down and the opportunity to run the clock down to under 10 seconds before kicking the game-winning field goal. 

So, was it a penalty?  Yeah, it probably was (even though the pass was well overthrown and likely would have been deemed uncatchable had the contact been made while the ball was in the air).  My only question is this:  was that the only time in the entire game where a defensive back tugged on a receiver's jersey or where a lineman from either team was guilty of holding?  Remember:  not a single offensive holding penalty was called.  Not one. 

Having said all that, I'm not a big fan of basketball officials 'swallowing their whistles' in the final minutes of a game and 'letting the players decide the game.'  If an action has been a foul all game long, it should still be a foul in the final minute.   So, in the that regard, I don't have a problem with the Super Bowl official throwing his flag in the final two minutes of the game . . . my only question is this:  where was that flag in the first 58 minutes of the game?

Calm down before you have a heart attack.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By Dr. D · Posted

      Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh
