The whistle seemed earlier real time. The guy catching ball wouldn’t have reacted the way he did if the whistle was as late as the replay seemed to show. I’m not a conspiracy guy, but how does the announcing crew keep their mouth shut for that long, and then the replay they show seems to have the whistle come later than in real time. The ref was blowing his whistle as soon as Burrow’s foot came down when he released the pass.

Guess NFL told the announcers they were now allowed to discuss erroneous whistle that we all heard.

Yes. He shouldn’t have blown it but he did. Play has to be over then. These announcers are as bad as the refs. They’re their to carry NFL’s water. NBA announcers like Van Gundy would’ve been going nuts about this.

the ref blew the whistle. How can you let the play stand?

Easily could’ve thrown flag on 87 for hold on 4th down.

these refs are not throwing flags on anything other than pre-snap penalties. I’m assuming that’s a directive from head office.

How do you not throw to Waller at least once in the red zone?

once again, those 5 yard penalties are drive killers.

Those 5 yard penalties are killers.

How is that a catch? He went to the ground and didn’t maintain possession.

Not sure who else you think should’ve received votes. Oliver came on late in the season. Diggs didn’t have as good a year as the the guys who got votes. And only Rodgers and Brady got any votes.

Allen probably would’ve been ruined on the Jets. And Allen had a lot more questions heading into the draft than Herbert. Heck, I bet Beane would’ve taken Darnold over Allen at the time. Tua and Herbert was definitely more of a debate and Dolphins failed in that decision miserably.

Can you blame Flores? Taking Tua over Herbert could go down as one of biggest draft blunders of all time.

I’m thinking Big Ben goes out like Marino. Maybe not 62-7 but I think Chiefs stomp Steelers.

I haven’t been a huge fan of Edmunds, but he’s played better this year and I think all things considered there’s not 5 MLB’s out there who fit better in this defense. I could live with 5 years $70m.

Sounds like none of the college QB’s in the 1st round discussion are can’t miss types. My bet is Trubisky gets a 1 year deal from a team who drafts a 1st round QB. Maybe a Pittsburgh, Denver, Washington, Minnesota (if Cousins is gone). Not sure he’s much of an upgrade from Wentz and I doubt Indy is moving on from Wentz (after trading a 1st rounder) unless it’s obvious upgrade.

Death?… it’s still just sports.

You still gotta go with your gut, but the analytics should still be used in coming to every decision. The analytics tell you the baseline case, and then the coach has to factor in what’s happening on the field right now. It’s like tweaking a model. You need both.

I can’t imagine any decent GM candidate would retain Judge.

I’d sign him. He’s familiar with frazier’s defense, and Belichik already signaled how he’s gonna play last time they were up here. Lawson could be useful against Titans too if we meet up with them again. Epenesa is a liability against run heavy teams. Groot is susceptible too.

How on earth does Reich survive if somebody like Flores gets canned? Indy has a stacked roster. Probably the best in football minus the QB who was brought in because he played for Reich.

I think we can live with Allen running more in the playoffs and in some huge regular season games, but we gotta get a better non-QB running game to protect the franchise QB.

I don’t think anybody wants to see Josh run the ball 122 times per year, especially Pegula and Mcdermott.

If Watson is truly linked to Flores, Flores will most likely be able to pick his next destination.

If true, how do you fire the guy who didn’t want Tua and keep the guy who passed over Herbert for Tua? Ross must’ve inherited his wealth.
