  1. It's just another glimpse of how out there the rules have become. PI can't be reliably called. Holding is a crapshoot. Completed catches could go either way depending on a number of things. Heck, many times the play clock is at zero and no flag. Guys are lined up in the neutral zone, no call. It's terrible all around
  2. Nope He took his first step while bobbling the ball, then took two more while in possession of the ball. That should be a catch. "If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball after he touches the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete." No mention of taking steps The steps matter because he already caught the ball. He caught the ball, took two steps and had his right elbow hit the ground before his left did and the ball came loose. As far as I'm concerned, by that time, he's no longer in the act of catching a pass. He caught the pass. Which is why if anything, it should have been a catch and he's down by contact when the right elbow hits. He's going to the ground. I could see if he's upright and taking steps but he's not. He's still heading to the ground. Look I [expletive] hate it.

  4. Bryant just ended DAL season trying to reach for it
  5. Not a catch
  6. I know. Can't understand Whoa
  7. The Dallas pressure has been...attenuated
  8. How can they not see that the ball hit the ground there?
  9. They are essentially identical to Cards fans.
  10. Rodgers' injury really cost the Pack on that sequence.
  11. Matthews is filthy. Always has been.
  12. Thought they were going to call cheap shots to the QB's knees
  13. Wasn't the claim "as good a chance of winning in Seattle as Detroit"? So close to zero for both
  14. Someone probably said good things about Emery too, when he was interviewing. I'm not putting much stock in that.
  15. Cancer is the worst thing in the world
  16. He ran a pretty good team and got the most out of a middling quarterback then all was lost when that qb turned back into a pumpkin. They jumped from 2 wins to 9 wins this season while using Case Keenum for awhile. Kubiak is a terrible coach. Marc Trestman is a terrible coach. Kubiak is several levels above Trestman. If that's still terrible in your view, so be it.
  17. Lol
  18. No thanks. But I wonder if Gamble would extend that Kelly relationship to the current Oregon coach. Yeah, I want Gamble and I'd be extremely interested in the Oregon coach. Not sure it would work, but definitely intriguing. DeCosta's gone. Ballard feels wrong to me. I'll settle for Gamble, with or without a package. I think he'd hire a much better coach than what we've had around here.
  19. I'll be rooting for either DAL or DET to be humiliated in shame. Don't care who.
  20. I could post screenshots from my Facebook newsfeed. Though, most of my Alabama fan friends knew they didn't have a dominant team this year. Kids & women are usually unaware and therefore shocked as hell :) Oh well.
