I am not blaming the refs, I am explaining how they can control the flow of a game towards a preferred outcome, it takes improbable plays to overcome that

I've seen enough of him. He doesn't belong in the league. Luckily we got some other things to work.

The play call to Addison was just as good as a screen. An improbable run, too quick for the refs to throw a flag for holding.

History is repeating itself. I still think about our young Mike Tomlin leaving (successful defense) while we kept Chilli (Inept Offense).

Status: offline 		History is NOT repeating itself, Brian Flore's lawsuit against the NFL continues, he won in August, so his lawsuits can continue:

The Brian Flores lawsuit against the NFL alleges systemic racial discrimination in Black coaches' hiring and promotion, claiming "sham" interviews (Rooney Rule violations) by teams like the Broncos & Giants and retaliation by the Texans after he filed, with a key fight being whether claims go to court or mandatory arbitration. In a major win for Flores, a federal appeals court ruled in August 2025 that his claims against the league and teams can proceed in court, rejecting the NFL's push to arbitrate, though some claims by other coaches are in arbitration.
Key Allegations & Parties
Plaintiffs: Brian Flores (former Dolphins coach), Steve Wilks, Ray Horton, other Black coaches.
Defendants: NFL, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Houston Texans.
Claims: Systemic racism in hiring, "sham" interviews for head coaching roles, and retaliation for filing the suit.
Miami Dolphins: Allegations that owner Stephen Ross offered Flores money to lose games and pressured him to break anti-tampering rules.
Legal Battle Over Arbitration
The NFL tried to force Flores' claims into arbitration (a private process with Commissioner Goodell as arbitrator) based on league rules.
Flores argued the league's arbitration was biased and flawed, seeking a public trial.
August 2025 Ruling: A federal appeals court sided with Flores, stating the NFL's arbitration clause lacked independent processes and offended legal norms, allowing the case to stay in court.


Brian Flores will stay as Vikings defensive coordinator for next year, and maybe beyond.

Status: offline 		The officiating favored the Vikings throughout the game, but I thought the refs would help the Lions pull out a close game in the end (for many reasons), but I was wrong about that. Flore's defense and crowd noise, combined with a brilliant play call that sprung Addison lose, led to a Vikings' victory.

Someone on the broadcast said it was Brosmer's 1st start, he must have said 1st HOME start.

So Brosmer is 1-0 as a starter at home, and 0-1 as a starter on the road.

Here's a podcast that talks about some ideas to keep Brian Flores:
