Was wondering the same thing. I think it goes to the receiver. He has possession of the ball first, anyway.

I thought the Packers would try a quick-hitter out of bounds to get a little closer. 7 seconds is plenty of time.

It looked like the receiver was well covered anyway

Uh...wrong. It's the one and only Alex Van Pelt University.

Gonna be hard for the Giants to pull this one out without Barkley.

When?

That's a bad interpretation of the rule and it gives the offense an unfair advantage. Technically, the defender is making a play on the ball by putting his hands up. He's not putting hands on the receiver. The receiver is running into the defender, not the other way around. NFL refs will tell you they consider the momentum of the player as well. Yes, the GB receiver turned around, but his momentum was still taking him down field. If the receiver had actually changed momentum to come back for the ball and the defender STILL ran through him, then it would surely be DPI. Ultimately, the spirit of the rules is to prevent an unfair advantage. It's something I always harp on when talking about NFL rules because they often are so vague. Refs should be asking themselves "who has the unfair advantage here" and making (or not making) the call based on that.

His technique was fine; shadowed the receiver and got his hands up when the receiver turned around. He didn't hold or do anything to give himself an unfair advantage. I think it IS an unfair advantage for the offense if the QB can simply underthrow a ball and draw a penalty from it. If there's any bad technique on that play, it's with the throw. Put that out in front of your receiver and let him make a legit play.

I like the no call

One score game

Okay, now I'm questioning this situation even more...

Just say "play with the kids" next time and we can avoid all this speculation and confusion 😋

We don't grind and stack the wind anymore. We confuse the wind. New policy. Didn't you get the memo...

From what I see around the webs, Allen is already considered the MVP lead. Obviously, it's early and he needs to keep playing well.

I, for one, can't wait for the unveiling of the London Silly Nannies. Might end up my second favorite team

They don't put a premium on RBs or guards and they accept the outcome. Teams that win the Super Bowl play great defense and have a high scoring offense, no matter how they do it.

All coaches have pretty much the same information and follow pretty much the same process. But it's like putting 10 meteorologists in a room with the same information; you're going to get 10 different forecasts and some will be more accurate than others.

Bold move, OP. No risk it, no biscuit.

I bet the Washington Commanders are calling

They don't treat injuries with a broad brush. I'm sure they're doing what's best for the players and come playoff time I bet they'll be more likely to play through it

Yeah, I don't disagree with that. I'm one of the most optimistic fans out there. But you can do the same insightful analysis of any bad call during a game as well (see all the "13 seconds" analysis). There's no doubt that the Bills are well coached, but they still have to get over the hump to get to the Super Bowl and their biggest failure so far was due to coaching. It's gonna hang with them, unfortunately.

If they had him, I would give them a relatively modest chance. Without him, it's just any-given-Sunday odds. < 10%
