agree. I am comfortable though with the refs making a judgment call in this context, especially if the standard is going to be just calling the egregious stuff (like when that colts player repeatedly was just punching Josh in the head).

I support penalizing this. If you hit the ball, great. If you miss, then it’s a possible PF penalty. Just can’t be punching guys wildly. The great players don’t really miss.

I don’t think the oline has been bad in pass pro. The bills (Josh?) haven’t been setting their protections right, leading to tons of free rushers.

Agree. I think the NFL is coming back around to investing in O as the way to win.

agree. On a related note, My buddy who is a Steelers fan was complaining about the CB coverage last night on that play. That was perfect coverage! Higgins is just so good— he’s going to just adjust and catch that. well, I did say Flacco played great. But even he admitted that it was like being a kid in a candy store throwing to those two guys.

i think Flacco played great. But you can basically put any semi-competent starter with those two receivers and throw for 300 yards. you put burrow with Curtis samuel and Elijah Moore…. I wonder what would happen?

my fantasy team begins its ascent from the ashes….

Seriously. There probably aren’t 2 or 3 other QBs who could have made that throw. That was insane.

Could Be the best TNF game in history!

I seriously can’t believe he threw that to the end zone.

NFL yet again fighting common sense on what is a catch.

Huh? Didn’t look like that DB had both feet down?

Flacco not looking bad, but those receivers are not helping him at all.

the catch rules just overall defy common sense. You slow anything down to the frame, and it probably doesn’t look like a catch. my rule change would be— if it looks like a catch in real time, then it is. Should be a judgment call, just like calling “holding” is a judgment call. We shouldn’t be looking at surviving the ground or the ball moving.

what I hate too is how these announcers are like “good play” when the receiver makes some unnatural move to dive back into the defender. That Diggs one was especially bad because he was out of bounds.
