  1. From what I understand is they just have a guy in the booth watching the tv broadcast of the game. If there's an obvious non subjective error ("Um, Jim. You dumb middle aged straight white man. He stepped out at the 20. Not the 40.") then they'll just relay that down to the crew on the field and it's up to the official on the field on whether to take his advice. It's a pretty archaic, half azzed system which is an improvement from the usual NFL replay nonsense.
  2. From an ESPN article back in April.... The furthest they are willing to go is allowing the existing replay official, who already sits in a stadium suite but is limited to assistance on plays that are reviewed, to advise referees in a handful of other "specific, objective aspects of a play when clear and obvious video evidence is present," according to the rule. What can the replay official weigh in on? • Penalty enforcement, proper down, spot of a foul, game clock or possession • Completed or intercepted pass • Touching of a loose ball, boundary line, goal line or end line • Location of the football or a player in relation to the boundary line, the line of scrimmage, the line to gain or the goal line • Down by contact (when a player is not ruled down by contact on the field)
  3. He's played in eight games and has 3 and 1/2 sacks. Two of which came yesterday. He's played four out of the last five games so the coaching staff must see something they like.
  4. 1.) We're not a Super Bowl contender with this o-line unless we somehow can get Dawkins-Feliciano-Morse-Williams-Brown all healthy and playing at once. 2.) Daboll called a pretty good came considering how decrepit our o-line was. 3.) I've watched Edmunds for about four seasons now and still have no clue if he's good or not.
  5. It was a bill originally proposed in 2015 because some crazy lady refused to quarantine after interacting in patients with ebola. It never made it out of committee since then and it's being used by grifters to conjure up fear among the easily influenced for political gain and/or a great book deal.
  6. Do me a favor and look at the history of the bill before jumping to your desired conclusion.
  7. I'd only draft one in the 1st round if he's a dual threat and we're picking in the 28 to 32 range. Then get five years (or six with a franchise tag) out of him with no extension. Fans fall in love with the player though so it's difficult to commit fully to that.
  8. Doesn't it help our strength of victory tiebreaker?
  9. I was being facetious to the conspiracy nuts out there.
  10. This game is rigged. Clearly roughing the kicker there. Saints should have a first down.
  11. Neither was John Beck. Doesn't mean he should be starting.
  12. Brady seems human when he doesn't have his usual all star cast of weapons.
  13. I always wondered why you can't challenge the play clock? Seems pretty simple.
  14. I like the idea of keeping two RB's fresh but since we rarely run in anyways I tend to agree with just featuring one prime back. We need to upgrade though. I want best o-lineman available and then best RB available in next year's draft.
  15. Especially if they keep going for two. Whatever. Just get in and anything can happen in this conference this year.
  16. We are since Baltimore lost I believe.
  17. I'll be an armchair psychologist and considering McDermott's paranoia about the Pats personnel during pregame warmups a few years ago, his comment saying let's not give Belichick too much credit, and his dead serious "you know who's up next?".........Belichick might be in his head.
  18. Pretty sure if the Ravens or Browns lose we'll still hold that 7th seed.
  19. Is he subliminally crying out for help?
  20. Great play calling day by Daboll considering our decrepit offensive line. Frazier with a great game plan like usual. Obada and Hyde stood out to me with great games.
  21. I know WWII was important and with all due respect to Marv, this is a MUST WIN game!!!
  22. Edmunds is just good enough to ride through the 5th year option but just still too inconsistent to sign to an extension. Barkley is an overpaid running back who won't do jack squat unless we improve our interior. Let's not create a hole at MLB when we have more pressing needs at OL, WR, and unfortunately DT.
