And your evidence that this mattered in Bean making the pick is? Sure AFTER they drafted Coleman word got out that Allen "wanted" Coleman. What else was Allen supposed to say? Now did Allen talk to McBean about getting a big physical WR that could open up the boundary and turn 50/50 balls into 80/20? That I could buy. But whether Bean traded the pick to sign a vet or move up in the draft as opposed to moving down to secure Coleman was all on Bean. There were a number of ways Bean could have secured what Allen likely expressed an interest in getting at WR.

What evidence do you have of this?

I think he would like to be WR rich.

This is a great point that I hadn't thought of before. And given McD's time as Head Coach and making the playoffs in 6 of the last 7 seasons the lack of a robust coaching tree is interesting. Outside of DaBoll has anyone else been a HC or long lasting Defensive or offensive coordinator?

Agree. Sure Allen has the occasional average or even poor game but he is so far from being the problem that it makes no sense to talk about it until the other problems are fixed. It's like your pipes burst in your house and your roof caves in but all you can talk about are the dandelions in the lawn.

The same could be said about Daniels in Washington.

If a player can mess up a crossbar dunking the ball I would consider finding a new manufacturer of goal posts. I think the dunk is cool, kind of like the Lambeau leap. It is not aimed at the other team and is visually interesting.

Why is that a penalty? It wasn't aimed at the other team all the Seahawk did was spike the football over the goal post. Does the NFL just like making up rules that will be broken so their refs can throw a flag?

Agree as Detroit challenged the wrong thing. What is the rule about if you challenge X and they see a clear cut Y? I thought, but could be wrong, that they only looked at what was challenged and if they see something else they are to ignore it?

It was close but also it was obvious that he didn't make the 1st down. The camera angle was perfect and if you extend a plane down from the ball it would not have touched the 41 yard line which was the line to gain. Had the not reversed what was an obvious bad spot by the refs things would have gotten very interesting in the Motor City.

It looks like if it was a catch he was short of the first down.

I think he was referring to contenders.

Wow, some great NFL officiating going on tonight.

The problem is that the same play will be called differently every week in the NFL. Remember the Drake Maye intentional grounding that wasn't called? Tonight they were sticklers for the rule and likely took Falcon points off the board. Tomorrow night they won't call it on an even worse violation.

Agree.
