Bills Key Loss: Nickell Robey Coleman. The kid is a "deranged squirrel". (Can't use rhino because that was "Snacks")

I don't root for injuries...but yes, I hope Pittsburgh plays a "physical" game

Yes...maybe Whaley is doing ok?? (shhhhh, don't tell anyone)

Ugh. Let them pound their chests...arrogant pricks. Slow and steady wins the race. I'm calling it here...Steelers will give the Patriots fits this weekend.

The way Robey Coleman has been playing lately, Gilmore might be too expensive to keep....then you can keep Z Brown, P Brown, Lorax, Shaq and Ragland...nice group

Good point

True

Agreed...which makes that Jets game even more painful in Week 2.

Not arguing. Still really pissed that the Seagulls were handed a win. Was trying to find a way to challenge this suspect no-call.

In order to review whether there is a turnover, you have to apply "ALL" NFL rules. As such, the replay official would make the following analysis: 1) Was there a turnover (on downs)? Yes 2) Was it a fumble? No 3) Was it an interception? No 4) What the hell was it? A WR had his right arm put in an arm bar by the CB. 5) Is an arm bar legal while covering a WR? No 6) Did the ref throw a flag for the arm bar? No 7) Why the hell didn't the ref throw a flag for the arm bar? Because he was scared Richard Sherman might jump up and down and B word about how unfair the NFL rules are. 8) Well, screw Richard Sherman, the pass fell incomplete because of an illegal arm bar. Therefore, there is no turnover on downs. Replay 4th down.

I suppose that's my argument. The NFL allows replays on turnovers...this was a turnover (on downs) because they failed to make a first down. Review it (and then let the NFL look like a bunch of !@#$s because even after the review they would still say "It was an incomplete pass"). And I agree with Jimmy10 above (and referenced it in my OP)...we will be looking at this kind of gamesmanship when we play the SeaHags. Keep interfering with the WR's because they won't call PI on every play. Let's just hope it goes both ways. I suppose if Richard Sherman can B word, yell and moan enough about the NFL, they will give him breaks.

If replay review is automatic on "turnovers", is this not a turnover (on downs)?

The most important part of this post you made is the last sentence...I'm really liking Lorax and the veteran leadership he provides will make a great impression on Shaq (hopeful anyway). He can teach Shaq a lot by sharing the same position.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxrNZYJnJsE It was 4th and long. The Falcons needed to get a first down to keep the final drive alive and get within field goal range. Ryan drops back and throws this ball to Julio Jones. Richard Sherman clearly interferes (I have seen much less get called for PI). This "no call" is an abomination or might just be the way refs look at the "Legion of Boom"...give them the benefit of the doubt because they are "physical". Anyway, I was thinking how helpless a coach must be when the refs don't call a penalty like this because "no calls" are not reviewable. However, I went a step further and thought about what IS reviewable: Touchdowns Sideline plays A "catch" Turnovers Isn't a failed 4th and 18 really a "turnover" on downs? If that's the case, that play should have been reviewable because it was a turnover. I would have demanded a review by the NFL right then and there to review the pass because it was a turnover on 4th and long resulting in turnover to the SeaHags. Then let the NFL official in the booth review the obvious interference and come back with a ruling that they should replay 4th down because Julio Jones was basically raped and there can be no turnover when a receivers arms are taken away from him. Falcons ball!!

^^^^^^ Me

Nice pressure on Kaep today. Not bad. I wonder if Marcel will be "available" next week?

Menu items: Bloody Marys, stromboli (breakfast and meat), Bacon and eggs, BLTs, chili, doughnuts. Beer. Stuffed.

Being cold is different from logical. Dareus is a good DT (although our run D has been acceptable without him in there). Is it wrong to point out that he should have been ready to play for the Rams game (and now the Niners game)? No.

Fact: Marcell smoked synthetic weed suspended two games. Fact: Marcell knew the next time he violated controlled substance ban he would miss 4 games. Fact: Marcell "missed" (avoided) drug test knowing this would result in 4 game suspension. Fact: As a multimillionaire "team leader" shouldn't he have assured his teammates he would be ready to roll vs the Rams? Most would say yes. Fact: Marcell was not ready to roll Fact: We have won the last three games without him.

Seriously, how difficult would it be for him to be with his teammates on a Friday prep day?? ****, get him a !@#$ing scooter to drive around on if his hammy is that bad. Get your ass to the facility ya' knucklehead!!

Helluva a catch by Hunter Henry. Pass had some zip on it.

He has ADD and Bruce Smith helped him with this. That might be why he forgot to stay in shape.

I think it's a very real conversation right now. 3 wins in a row and no high profile WR or DT. A crew of under appreciated "no names". Let's see how this plays out.

Definitely not. Our D line has been playing well without him. Why upset the apple cart?

...or maybe it won't.
