Bet the Bear's fan forums are having a collective meltdown.

Didn't tuck it but extended it toward the 1st down line to gain.

It does seem wrong to reward the offense for a poorly placed ball.

Bad pick.

OL keeping him up and pulling him downfield.

Assisting the runner used to be a penalty.

It seems highly unlikely that the team that loses the toss would get a chance for a decent 2nd possession with the 10 minute OT period which makes the NFL rule even worse, imo. The NCAA rule is better but the NFL would not want any scenario close to the multiple OT sessions we have seen in the college ranks, especially given the normal viewing windows. Here's one headline: "WMU beats Buffalo in record-tying 7 overtimes, setting new FBS scoring record"

No reason to think he's professionally trained but he sounds that way. Strong voice, concise thoughts and his draft/player evaluation background gives his opinions insight that most of the others lack. Opinionated = interesting while pigheaded = annoying. One of his best takes was on DJ Metcalf. While the whole NFL community dropped him down in 2019 he kept him top 5, I think. His evals of Bills picks often fall in line with where Beane actually ended up taking them.

Yes. Head pulled away and shoulder was to the sternum with initial contact. Maybe a penalty after the initial contact due to the whiplash. Often the concussion happens when their head hits the turf.

Near as I can tell, this hit by Basham in week 1 did not get a fine. It was late, helmet to helmet and he launched to get there.

supposed to let him make the catch and take two steps?

shoulder to chest

no

Milano

did not get to the line.

i really don't want to talk about a 4-3 Bills team this week. I am good with any scenario that ends up at 5-2.

Ever listen to him speak? he sounds like him too.

I would like to see how that happened.

no huddle GREAT!

3rd down D?

Over/under on Rich Gannon comments that make me cringe -- 11.5.

Nasty draws penalties in all kinds of ways. Some legit others not so much.

I think there was only 3:46 left at the time. That makes a 2nd possession even less likely. The time left when that decision gets made should be a variable as well.

Have the D play with the thought that they need to get 1 stop and give their O just 1 more chance. That's the way I see it. Playing with real hope vs needing a fluky play(s) to get a 2nd possession.

I thought Rodgers with a free play what's he gonna do. He has a rep for cashing in on those.
