Game is a black screen suddenly

Mine froze twice in that last goal line stretch.  Had to switch quickly to the rabbit ears and only the replay of the winning catch.  Dang local Fox affiliate.   They said they had this fixed earlier in the season.

Extending the play by running backwards. Definitely smart. 

It’s called trying to pass the football. He wasn’t going to run for the first down there and it was 4th down. What good does going to the ground do?

Yep, just like on about 90% of every pass play in the league, every Thursday, Sunday, & Monday! And if the Off guy's not pushing off, the Def guy is "hand checking"/pushing and/or grabbing!

Not sure what the tv broadcast said but I was in the car yesterday listening to the Bills game on the radio when O’Brien challenged the non DPI call on Hopkins. Rod Woodson said they didn’t call it (even though our guy kind of grabbed him) because Hopkins was pushing off all game at least up until then

He was trying to throw the ball by running 19 yards behind the line of scrimmage? Interesting take. Should be a good play call next year. Hey Allen run 19 yards behind the line of scrimmage then throw it 15 yards for a oh wait what are we doing now?

They have to confirm the TD, so it was reviewed. Both players were handfighting, so good no call. Let the players decide the game. 

Handfighting?  
 

It looked like a world class arm bar by Rudolph.  Saints get jobbed again

You cant be serious that you don't know why????

Incomplete pass stops the clock. Going to the ground lets you burn clock or force them to take a timeout.

when Josh scrambles he has to learn to not turn his back to the play---it never works

This is idiotic. Seriously. You're begrudging the Qb extending the play on 4th down on the last drive when the entire offensive line failed to block? You are an american treasure. 

I think the point here is that Allen needed to be prepared there would be a Blitz coming that might well get through. Although the line was porous, regardless of that there needs to be a QB instinct there above all else. He processed it all too late. We were lucky to get the ball back.

Wow, I didn’t think Cousins had it in him. A tip of the cap to him

On a different topic, for the first time since 2004, none of the slew of great Probable-HOF qbs drafted between 2000-04 (brees, brady, manning, rivers, roethlisberger) have made the divisional round. A changing of the guard is happening.

So why didn’t they review that? 

I'm sure that they did review it. In OT, in the playoffs, ALL reviews will be initiated by the booth. So, IOW, they are closely watching EVERY play, and if they see something that needs further review, and/or see something that they think they may want to change, they'll radio down to the field to hold up things.

 

In THIS case, they obviously were "good" with the TD.

Clear OPI. It's just not fair game for defense. They don't call obvious holding on pass rushers and they let OPI go all the time. They have gotten better at calling pick plays but still let WRs push off.

It wasn't a blitz. It was a 4 man rush:

 

 

The line blocked nobody!

The clock stops on a turnover either way.
