Zay Jones somehow becoming a decent third receiver is an underrated story.

Would have been a hell of a one if he somehow came up with it. I'm not even sure he was trying to though.

It was clearly a catch imo but I'm somewhat surprised they didn't take a longer look at it.

Pleasantly surprised to be clear.

Did Gruden almost cut Maxx Crosby his rookie year (the Hard Knocks year) or am I hallucinating that?

Oh my god so close to a great play, ends up being an absolutely awful play.

Jacobs looks real slow in open space

He's still got the bad ribs right? Does he have anything else wrong with him?

I kinda remember he was a walking guy full of injuries early in the year and Gruden wouldn't let him rest.

I wonder if the main guy here is mildly embarrassed about this or if he breaks out the story at parties trying to hit on girls. Feel like it could go either way.

'Yeah you remember that Yankees gif? That was me.'

gently caress you guy definitely gives no shits, he's just happy to be involved and he'll tell you about it.

Joe Burrow is distressingly good and I'm terrified the Bengals might eventually get a good offensive line to go along with everything else they've got going.

They blew the whistle before the pass was completed, I'd whine about that if I were the Raiders even if they're wrong.

The whistle happened like a half second before he caught the ball, it didn’t effect anything.

So what are the rules on inadvertent whistles anyway if the ref just screws up and blows it? I'm sure this has come up before and I've forgotten.

Replay the down right, it must be?

Lol the whistle blew when there wasn't anyone within 4 yards of Tyler as it was touching his hands. Calm down.

He was just answering a question I asked, I wondered what the correct call would be for an immense ref fuckup. And it's a pretty damned bad ref fuckup either way.

e: I mean, there's no reason we should be talking about this at all, they screwed up badly.

There are two flags, a maybe timeout, and this ref crew. What could go wrong?

Grittybeard
Mar 29, 2010

Oh one flag was 12 man, one was either hands to the face against Crosby or Crosby with a roughing and none of it mattered, and we all just sat around forever for them to say a time out was called.

We don't know what happened but that's worth a challenge is my initial thought. Chunk play, worth a chance if you don't have enough information.

Higgins has been low key bad this game imo. That wasn't an easy catch, but I saw him give up on a route earlier that he might have had a chance at too and he hasn't done anything else.

Have the Bengals gotten any pressure on Carr in this game?

They've had some good stunts, a strip sack and almost got a safety, the second half has not gone as well at all.

Why take the time out? Or at least why take the time out with that much time on the play clock if you're doing the bullshit draw them offside play?

Gnoman posted:

They were probably hoping for an opening, didn't get one, and used the TO to do the FG.

I think this is what happened but there were still like 16 seconds on the play clock and if you're going up two scores and do want to use a time out to save 5 yards on a field goal it's still a mistake.

The numbers geeks on twitter say it was about even going for it or kicking a field goal there for whatever it's worth.

Two minutes is so much time regardless they should throw and try to get the first.

Yeah I'd have let Burrow throw the ball on first when the Raiders completely sold out on the run or be smart enough to go down and take time off the clock.

I mean, trust your quarterback if he's that good (and I do think he's that good).

Why did you jump up to catch that buddy? It might have rolled, and taken a little time off the clock?
