Doesn’t matter if the defender caught the ball - or even tried to catch it. Whether or not it’s DPI or “no call” rests on whether the refs think the defender was playing the ball or not. The DB got his hand on the ball so it would be tough for me to say he wasn’t playing the ball.

When a QB is out of the pocket and a defender is playing the ball, a receiver is not protected from contact.

Allen was out of the pocket. Once the QB leaves the pocket receivers are no longer protected from being contacted by defenders who are playing the ball. The Pats DB played the ball. No call was correct. Had Allen stayed in the pocket, then DPI would have been the correct call.

Lotta people saying this, but Allen was out of the pocket. Once that the quarterback is out of the pocket, receivers are no longer protected from being contacted by defenders who are playing the ball. The Pats DB played the ball. No call was correct.

Or ever.

Agreed. Maye made his 17th NFL start yesterday. Lotta room to grow. He didn’t look like all that in the first half, but he was elite in the second. If he can consistently play at that level, then he’s a top tier QB.

It was the team/league looking to sell some cold front jerseys. Gotta get those incremental sales. Incidentally Penn State also had a whiteout and lost, which isn’t unusual. They have a lot of whiteout games and their record in those games is not impressive. Personally, I think it’s a stupid look. White flags are for surrendering. They are the polar opposite of intimidating.

Exactly. Teams that are -2 in turnovers in a game only win 16% of the time. Last night the Bills were the better team in a lot of ways, but the Pats did a great job taking the ball away.

My understanding is that teams only discuss their own cap figures directly with the league. That is by sending contracts to the league for approval. Virtually all of the important contract information is in the public space via the NFLPA, agents and media which filters into sites like OTC and Spotrac. Teams would prefer to have their own contract info confidential so agents would not know what they have to spend - and the cheaper franchises don’t want their fans to know they’re not spending. But players and agents want it all out in the public sphere so they can squeeze more out of teams. Teams also want to see what every other team is doing so they know where the market is. So it pretty much all comes out. I also suspect that the league doesn’t want to be responsible for sending out every team’s financial/cap info to every other team.

I think you misread that. The 69 year old man told police that he smelled alcohol on Sanchez’s breath. Notably the 69 year old man has not been charged with anything, but Sanchez has been arrested for battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication.

Over the cap has us at about $2.3M in space. They are consistently more accurate than Spotrac and are the site NFL teams utilize for info on other teams.

Wife’s best friend’s family had a place on the water in Van Buren Bay for many years. Had some good times up there.

Agree that’s the case now. I don’t remember if it was a known concern when he came out though. Can’t imagine it was or taking him #1 overall was an even worse mistake than I thought.

Thank you for posting. It is an excellent article. I’m gonna have to watch some Seahawks games.

Agreed. The Browns have their defense set. in addition to a QB, they also need a lot of OL help and another quality starting WR, but they can do that in one offseason - especially with two first round picks next draft. If they did find their QB in Gabriel then they’re a year away IMO.
