AROUND THE NFL: Oct. 26. (Please limit Bills discussion to the pertinent threads)

I think the AFC is 6-0 against NFC teams this week.  This game and Wash/KC tomorrow remain.

No faith in Mariota ?? Lol

[Sierra Foothills]

So far Doubs has dropped 2 and Kraft has dropped 1.

 

In a game this close, one team having 3 drops is big.

I HATE the under throw DPI!

[Watkins90]

I hate underthrown balls being PI. It isn't the DB's fault that the QB couldn't get enough power on the ball to get it there. 

[Einstein]

Green Bay has not impressed me

Metcalf bodied that DB 

[Watkins90]

Collinsworth, the head fake, did literally nothing. Metcalf just used his big body to shield Nixon from knocking the ball down. My god.

That is a big man DK..

That pass was perfect.  Rodgers could not have run over and planted that ball in DK’s chest any better

[QCity]

Metcalf makes that look easy.

For all the hoopla about the Parsons trade, he’s a liability if a team has a strong running game.

There are people here who know football better than I and that insist that the cornerbacks are coached to not look back for the ball.

 

I would not coach this way and one reason is because not looking back makes the defender more susceptible to this sort of PI situation.

 

And how can you break up a pass or intercept a ball if you're not looking for it?

We’ve seen it a few times today not called, but the DB must turn his head around and look at the ball. thats probably in the secret ref handbook

What is the DB supposed to do? Run backwards to let the WR get back to the ball?

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

How have the Packers only have lost one game ?

They are definitely teaching the DBs to turn their head now. The league has said that if the DB is looking for the ball, then that isn't DPI because he is playing the ball and not the man.

I don't know what you're suggesting.

 

What I'm saying is that if a defender is looking back for the ball, he's less likely to run into the receiver.
