Haha— Brandin Cooks is like the guy stranded on the Titanic.

i was telling a buddy who is a ravens fan that they needed to trade for Ingram.

Agreed. Number 2 TE could possibly be the least of our needs right now.

Agreed. such a sad response.

i have never gotten so many “vomit emoji” responses to any other post I have done.

So, I am sticking with taking Josh Allen and Tre White then.

Y’all remember Vlad?! 😬

Remember the run up to the KC playoff game? There were people who thought legitimately that the Bills would be activating and playing both Stills and Antonio Williams! And, yes, I may have been one of them.

Seahawks triple covering Kenny Stills and leaving Kamara Wide open!

Is this like a few years ago in the NBA when Brendan Haywood was the hottest asset due to his contract? Everyone wanted to trade for that Haywood contract to engage in cap shenanigans!

Welp, this is news to me that Flacco is still in the NFL!

If I pick Mahomes, do I have to take his brother too?

I don’t understand how the panthers have the draft capital to trade for Watson, unless the Texas are willing to take just lots of future picks.

I just hope AJ plays smarter this week and doesn’t knock out Tua again. We need him to stay in this game!

But i don’t think that is the rule. In the first clause of the rule you quote above, the rule only applies “if the runner gives himself up.” So there has to be a determination first whether the runner is giving himself up or not— diving for the end zone seems to be the opposite of giving yourself up. He is trying to score.

Exactly— the refs have to use some common sense there. He is going to score. He is not giving himself up in the same way a QB who slides is trying to avoid contact. one thing they can always do is to basically carve out an exception to this rule for the endzone. That’s where this rule can really cause problems. Edit: what if the GB defender dove to try to Hit Him/stop him from crossing the goal line? I guarantee that is not called a penalty.

Maybe it is just me, but it seems like the Niners always have like 5-6 key guys injured. I don’t even know what their starting group looks like.

There are three things you can do— short screen passes, runs, and chucking it up to hope for a PI call. It’s awful.

That is a TD? Per the Heinecke rule, he “gave himself up”!

how do you defend that? The DB is stride for stride with the WR, and then the WR just stops and dives back into the DB to catch a ball that is underthrown by 10 yards. This happens every game, and I am so sick of it. It is against the spirit of true Pass interference.

They need to change the PI rule. Every underthrown ball is necessarily pass interference now. It is totally unfair. If the receiver has to stop in his tracks and come back for the ball, it should be a free for all.

This was a bad interpretation of the new rule. I think they are trying to basically say a head first slide is the same as a feet first slide. He is clearly not sliding— he is diving for the endzone. To the OP’s point, if this is called a “slide”/giving yourself up, then Lamar Jackson diving forward into the endzone for a somersault should not be a TD.

Those Niner run plays are a thing of beauty. Not sure why we never run action like that.

i actually saw this movie on TV last night! It’s one of those movies I have to watch any time I catch it on TV.
