lol there must have been 3 blocks in the back on that Rams punt. Ohhhhh well...

^ Winner

All this and you guys didn't even use the best Chuck Norris one-liner? Here, I'll do it: Jake Browning's tears cure cancer; too bad he's never cried...

lol Jake Browning out here looking like the relapse guy

Now that Captain Hairboy is out they need something

oh wow they said he wasn't out

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.

lol that was a first down, ref got it wrong

lobbed it too much

I guess Jax ddin't watch Bengals vs Stealers from like... forever. Just run a TE 20 yard "In" and get an easy first.

Blatant, easy, call, but it's always 50/50 in today's NFL

LT has his number

Ahhh... picked

Somebody blew coverage

"It's the battle of the backups"?? Huh?? The dude played one series and sucked.

Do they not have carts in Jacksonville? If that was Rapistberger I'd say he was hamming it up for the cameras...

Good lord they just had an automatic flag call on or something... sad but hilarious

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.

I guess we're back to "oh yeah we need a better draft position" play calling. Glad he remembered? I guess?

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?

Wow a successful counter run, never woulda thunk it

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.

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.

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.
