That was clearly a Giants TD, unless I'm missing something. Are they not showing a side view lol?
Crazy that they didn't show a single replay from either side of the goal line. I'm 99% sure it was a touchdown.

If I was ranking human inventions, Red Zone would be somewhere between space travel and penicillin.

Cards playing out of their ass, kicking a FG to tie it, and it's blocked and TD and now Cards are done.

Vegas had 3rd and 5 at the OPP 45, ran it. 3 yards, punted on 4th and 2 from the opponent 42..... Mayo has stiff competition in the worst coach race

Kyler’s height led to that pick, had no idea Bosa fell off into the flat

SF huddled and ran almost all of the play clock on that high RZ snap with the clock running and two TO. Bizarre, the kind of decision you make if you are playing for three….but their K is hurt.

And it leads to two hasty plays in goal to go. They’re lucky the home cooking clock operation left a second on the clock for the FGA.

I get the league wants to get rid of gun related celebrations (which IMO is understandable) but guys clearly just doing the “first down” gesture shouldn’t be a penalty.

That said, we’ve seen that ruled a penalty in college and the pros all
season and these guys keep doing it even though it’s been pretty consistently called

when guys start making those gestures

the “slit throat” has been a penalty for years.

Do you think there should be no limit on what gestures are deemed inappropriate? If a guy made a sexually explicit pantomime, that would be ok?

Getting rid of overtly violent taunting gestures is fine by me and I’m surprised anyone would have an issue with it.

Arizona keeps running it up the middle. Over and over and over and over and over.

And not one time has it worked.

I guess keep doing it?

This is funny, They run another up the middle and Conner gets bottled up for no gain but bounces it outside and gets a first down. But keep going up the middle.

I think replay assist is a good thing, but it makes the use of a coaches' challenge a little too murky. How does the coach know whether to throw the red flag on a play that is clearly wrong, when replay assist might come in and fix the call? I feel like if replay assist is going to be a thing, it might as well be the only thing.

Brady, "And Conner is just running through those arm tackles, he doesn't give a crap."

That's a great line.
