  1. I doubt they give it to us, they'll say it's possible a single blade of grass with paint on it touched his last cleat.
  2. I guess Jax ddin't watch Bengals vs Stealers from like... forever. Just run a TE 20 yard "In" and get an easy first.
  3. "It's the battle of the backups"?? Huh?? The dude played one series and sucked.
  4. Do they not have carts in Jacksonville? If that was Rapistberger I'd say he was hamming it up for the cameras...
  5. Good lord they just had an automatic flag call on or something... sad but hilarious
  6. If I'm not mistaken that play relied on the rule that was created after Tyler Eifert caught the ball in mid-air, crossed the goal line then fumbled it (IIRC). It was ruled that he never made it to the ground (to "survive" it) so it's a fumble. I do believe that play was cited as a reason why they made it "cross the plane only", regardless of where your body is.
  7. I guess we're back to "oh yeah we need a better draft position" play calling. Glad he remembered? I guess?
  8. Who the fuck thought that was the play to call? Jeezus I guess they've given up on the season? Going for it on 4th on the first drive of the game, trying a stupid trick play with the backup QB?
  9. The distribution was there but at least a few times the primary target was that (little used) receiver - but as you say he checked down a couple/few times but that's not a progression read, that's a safety valve.. Granted he did go through progressions at least a couple of times, but his lack of ability in this was (very unfortunately) most obvious on the game-deciding INT where it was a telegraph from start to finish. Thankfully the broadcast showed a wide-angle replay and we saw that Pittsburgh played that throw all the way, which resulted in Sample being embarrassingly open on the other side - and, if progressed to would have resulted in a walk-in TD.
  10. Not that Charles Davis says anything beyond regurgitating football rules and basic facts, but in his desperation to make that call sound awesome he basically explained that Hudson interfered with the Stealers receiver. On defense. Because the call was bullshit.
  11. This, folks, is "the tilt". They pick up the flag on an obvious call to force a heavy momentum turn in favour of the Stealers, then make a chincy call against the Bengals to keep it going. Classic.
  12. Jeezus H fucking christ that was the most obvious hold in the history of the NFL and they pick up the flag? I guess "the gambling" needed some TLC...
  13. This is it right here folks, this is why the game isn't worth watching anymore, much like other sports: "The next question is whether the NFL will do anything about it. Given the current extent to which gambling and gambling money have become intertwined with football, the league definitely should." That's right everyone, the important decisions should be made around how much it affects the gambling. Oh well, it was a good run.
  14. The question I have is, under what rule did the refs just "check it"? It wasn't a change of possession, it wasn't a score, and I didn't see anybody throw a red flag/challenge.... ?
  15. Good observations, I agree that Chido has been hot and cold this season and Scott is a failure. Ossai never really did a whole lot before so I wasn't expecting much but agreed he's just invisible. The second-level tackling has been a problem all year, if teams manage to block (or hold) our DL in the run game they will get decent if not obscene yards. This is what losing our two starting safeties has bought us. Tee I'd give a bit of a pass because he got hurt early but he has played somewhat soft anyway (I suspect he's trying to preserve himself in case he's a free agent). I think the OL unit suffers from Volson being a liability and Cappa I suspect hasn't completely recovered from his more recent injuries (he loses his footing a lot). Karras I'm very happy about, we've had too many sorry C's for me to ignore what he's brought to the unit. Overall they need improvement here, but somehow it's still the best line Joe has had.
