They refused to replay it for good reason: 49ers beat writers say they rewatched it in the press box, and it was a total phantom call.

I doubt you'll ever see it again.

This angle sucks, but the endzone angle better show that right arm doing something nasty then limpdicking or yeah, awful call:

Tom Brady is... good!

That was a really good game. The Patriots defense is... frustrating in its inability to get off the field. Partly by design, but my god, they're breaking way too much right now.

Offensive line injuries also let them get beaten up... I mean, they should get beat up by the Texans front 7, but Brady had 3(!) fumbles on blindside hits, they got really lucky they only gave up one score on that poo poo.

Watson had a much better gameplan this week. He ran a lot, and the Texans' gameplan was to keep everything manageable, and that let Watson go crazy. He had a bunch of scrambles that were all devestatingly effective, as well as two plays where he evaded pressure and made huge completions downfield.

The Texans secondary is much worse then its front seven, when Brady had any kind of time he carved them up.

The way it works:

When the clock is running it takes a minimum of ~11s to run another play. The refs have to spot the ball, then get back into position then whistle for play to resume. This was a thing with Chip Kelly, because on non-hurry up plays, it's like 17 seconds.

If you run a play before the ref gets set, you get flagged. So if you're down with 8s left... the game's over, you can't get another play off.

I guess there's a rule with instant replay to mimic this, where they auto run off 10s if they review to simulate that.

Alex take a knee.

It will suck if this turns into purely an anti-Trump thing. (not saying anything against Alex Smith here, just there's a whole lot of this happening already). You need to take a knee if you're ready to say poo poo about institutional racism and police violence or at the very least strongly stand by those that will.

The last thing we need is to let shithead white people turn this into the next Drumpf.

It's been mostly black people talking about Trump and equality. I know Kaepernick started it as more of an explicitly anti-police brutality statement, but it's morphed into something else and it's not because of white liberals that want to talk about Russia or whatever.

I've seen a lot of leftists on Twitter trying to blame the usual suspects for diluting Kaepernick's original intent, but I think you have to respect that most of the current players are very explicitly protesting against our white supremacist president.

Yeah, the players have been great. I'm anxious to see what happens tomorrow with the owners having a day to process and figure out how they're going to attack this and what the Cowboys / Cardinals players do, or more specifically, next week.

I'll chalk this up to the Raiders phoning it in on a road game.

See also the Dolphins, Broncos, Steelers, Buccaneers and Seahawks.

Jesus.

4 of them play each other next weekend (Steelers - Ravens, Broncos - Raiders), two of them play NFC South teams (Pats - Panthers and Bills - Falcons) and the Jaguars get the Jets while the Titans get the Texans.

Gonna be good stuff :toot:

This was Watson's best throw of the game. A great adjustment and bullet to a well covered guy:

Yeah. He's had a number of games like that in recent years. I'd hoped they were due to injuries, but it seems more and more likely that he just isn't that good with the deep ball anymore. Which is a huge issue since they have amazing deep threats at WR. And forcing defenses to counter that would open room for Bell.

He left, what, three TDs on the field by under or overthrowing Bryant and Brown when they'd beaten the defense yesterday?

Odd how I see almost nobody talking about this in the media.

Cian Fahey is doing his thing about that game currently and pointed out a handful:

Oh, here's why the 10s runoff on instant replays on live clocks exists btw: (it's at 1:10 the time link doesn't work when launching it)

Sour Diesel posted:

i think if you have a timeout to burn in the lions situation you should have the option to use it after a review to kill the runoff

Absolutely. I presume you can.. if they didn't let the Lions, then whew boy.

Also I think the better Lions argument is that he doesn't have possession of the ball until he's across the goal line. Seems dumb that at the point he's considered dead on replay, it'd clearly be an incompletion if the ball was swatted out.

i think the lions did have 1 timeout to burn


Oh, then they absolutely got hosed if they had a timeout. On any other time runoff you can use a TO to prevent it.

I wonder if Romo's current booth prescience is related to the fact that he just retired, and the state of the game and its players is more or less identical to what it was when we left. I wonder if guys like Aikman were as on-point when they were just starting out in the booth.

Madden at his most incoherent would randomly snap back into his old self and perfectly diagram a playcall right as it happened occasionally.

He might eventually not be able to call the exact play an offense runs, but he'd still be extremely prescient on game flow and descriptive about what's happening.
