Generally fair. And frankly, if getting everything perfect is priority number 1– gosh, get off the message boards dissecting every minute detail, trade in the hi def tv for something a little fuzzier and look away from the ultra zoomed in frame by frame replays and you’ll find it’s likely not that it’s worse but that you recently started seeking out mistakes on a level you’d never dream of in 1982

In the time you’ve spent typing it you could’ve found examples of all the other holds ignored to put this to bed

everyone keeps referencing the plenty of examples and worse ones. The most compelling argument will be when anyone compiled them from last night. And I don’t mean a single clip where a ref has a weird angle to see it- but pervasively allowing that kind of grabbing on change of direction throughout the night

honestly, surprised we haven’t seen a Philly fan with a montage of no calls yet if they were truly allowing all game. I’ll hold off on my outrage for now. It was fine by the letter of the rule, and hasn’t been shown out of line by the spirit of consistency -yet-

Pass interference - which is the ball in the air and a spot foul. Mahomes doesn’t even have to throw the ball for holding.

that fields been a challenge all year

I’m fine with that take but calling it uncatchable isn’t a factor weighed in the decision was all I pointed out

holding is before the hall is in the air and therefor not a catchability call

we never had the personnel for his defense. Not defending him but also the fit was a disaster all around.

taking a 43 and handing it to him was dumb.

I think there’s a real possibility they werent expecting something so flat when it was agreed to. if her own capability was going to be that impaired by the pregnancy, the contingency had to be to bring in a bunch of stars. Hell she’s performed with everyone and they were all there. there was some disconnect. Kanye going nuts, jayz having tidal as an apple rival, Eminem being in last years crew etc… all impacted the stars around her potentially. there’s no way that was the biggest show on the biggest stage that producers envisioned, I’m not a pop hater… but… the stages were cool. The production was meh. She as a performer wasn’t particularly engaging. She left a lot on the proverbial stage. what did she personally do exceptionally?

get used to modern football. You will see a lot of games that are shootouts decided by either last possession and or an elite pass rush wrecking things at a key moment. the fear is ours is old and currently injured and on the other side we don’t have the depth of playmakers. It’s a real rough crossroads at the moment.

he’s one of the toughest calls. The modern league is essentially build an offense and a pass rush and then be opportunistic on the back end. edmunds does a lot well but he’s not ending many drives with turnovers, sacks, or broken up passes. He doesn’t set an emotional tenor for those around him. He seems fine at getting the defender set but never hear exceptional stories of hot reads and audibles. At some point you can’t pay guys simply for being very good at ILB on a mature roster. He’s got to be the identity not the role player. I have a hard time seeing him cross that threshold.

Plus zay Jones I can’t say our guys behind diggs showed a ton of poise on the field. Not sure whether underprepared or they’ve overcomplicated the system. No one would confuse Davis, or McKenzie as being particularly quarterback friendly at the moment though.

Lung damage on the vent as a world class athlete may be a concern

mix of Hines, and Shakir plus maybe a high drafted rookie

Active for the remainder of the season, I assume

Gabe Davis runs like a 4.55 forty. The dude better learn how to produce short of 30 yards downfield.

meh. Sure they could walk away. But on a practical level, walking away was never on the table. Worst case he’s hurt badly, and they tag him just like we will see now. From there, so team would give him a pretty hefty contract even if his knee exploded.

And does not seem to have a good sense of finding soft spaces for easy throws- possibly a bigger issue than the drops. a one trick pony deep ball catcher with both modest speed and hands is a tough role to consistently produce in. that said, he never looked crisp all year. Part of me hopes we find out he was playing through some sort of core injury in addition to the early ankle. It could explain so much… honestly, after diggs, I felt like a lot of our guys didn’t have a great feel for throttling up or down around soft spots in coverage, and often took angles that left really difficult throws for Josh. Like they didn’t understand the coverage shells and the qb line of sight…. And that was before the spotty hands.

wait, so we could add a running game to our limited route tree?!? im starting to think ferg has something here between that Geoff Saturday and Phil and your post here…. I’m intrigued.

I could imagine if bienemy was calling plays that there could be a half measure of removing him even if there’s a question of why more wasn’t done by Reid in the moment for the moment during a collapse

to be fair, building your stadium based on 2022 roster composition is silly too, with probably 70% roster turnover between now and the first game yet alone the next several decades

poor Bobby will not return to this thread

so your cool if they just swap it to 39 seconds and roll as is it seems.
