too soon for an NFL thread?

Brown with incredible hops and incredible ability to hold on to it.

Nice bday present for Hawks coach Pete Carroll (61 today)

HE'S 61?! Man he aged well...

 

[pixburgher66]

Here's the lovely call. Pass interference on 24.

 

[pixburgher66]

RT @MikePereira: I'm officially over it. The regular refs need to get back on the field. Enough is enough.

I trust his opinion...

 

[pixburgher66]

Okay, refs can't review everything, only what's asked, correct? Like you can't suddenly call a penalty for instance. Just asking about it because of the Jets challenging a fumble (held up) but the runner was down in the backfield on review. That wasn't challenged though, so do they review that?

you serious clark?

interference?
not a hand check of hold from an angle we can't see??

 

[pixburgher66]

Great drive. Dominating. Haven't seen one like this in a long time.

a penalty, no, can't call a penalty from a review.
BUT - they should have caught that knee down in the review and called him down.

ballgame.
Jets aren't coming back

My theory is that the ref instinctively threw it on the Clark hit (which was fierce, but clean), backtracked and thought "Well, I'm sure there was some contact, Taylor's been handsy all game!" But...nothing. Hand check about 3 yards out, but not even illegal contact. I would've understood flagging Clark, but disagreed. But...I would've understood it.

Okay, wasn't sure about that.

That drive was killer. Over 10 minutes of clock gone. I may critique the play calling a lot, but the dink and dive type method sort of works for us. They should honestly always work that way. Work like it's the 2 minute drill even if it isn't. Obviously that's not relevant on that 10 minute drive, but still...Ben rushed is Ben effective.

 

[pixburgher66]

Ball thrown by Sanchez out of bounds, Holmes turns around as it sails 10 feet overhead...asks for a flag.

 

[pixburgher66]

WOW. WOOOOOW. "No Jet wide receiver with a catch since the first quarter."

West Coast offense is my favorite style. It's very hard to defend. As long as you're willing to go deep every now and then to keep the defense honest (and with our receivers, you know we have to be willing to go deep every now and then), it's very hard to defend.

TEBOW TME!!??!!

 

[pixburgher66]

That call on the Buffalo downed punt was probably worse than the PI on Taylor...but at least it was preseason. But...still...what?

 

[pixburgher66]

TEBOW TME!!??!!

Old Sanchez came roaring back after the Jets first drive...he's been pretty terrible. He just now completed his first pass in about 2 hours. That said, the first play of this drive he literally missed a guy WIDE OPEN five yards down field. Tebow was in for about 3 plays. Ran for 20 yards.

I get the mantra "the retaliatin always gets called" but that is under the assumption that the initial penalty was not seen. The end of the Skins-Rams game was crap.

YES Josh Morgan is an idiot and should not have thrown the ball.
YES he needs to let that go.
YES he should have been penalized,

BUT

The ref watched Finnegan smack him in the face first. Call them both! It is a mnatra, not a rule.

GET THE REGULAR REFS BACK!!!

I normally agree with that, but they were both shoving, then he was a little child about it. He'll learn, I hope. Still, talk about huge freaking penalty.
