I’m with you. I keep waiting for him to get laid out and he’s so short and athletic that it never happens.

I don't usually root for injuries but in his case I make an exception. I'm absolutely hoping one day to see him make one of those signature cuts and just have his ACL or Achilles pop.
If a top 10 corner was playing like this for the Pats early in a big game, he would be getting buried here.
A non-contact injury wouldn’t even do it for me. I want to see a Ronnie Lott or Chuck Cecil destruction of Hill over the middle, preferably as he dances around after catching the ball over the middle and then just gets pummeled by some safety.
He’s been letting Folk take lots of 50 plus yard kicks, actually, even in situations where they don’t need to kick.
Was there an eligible receiver there? He was out of the pocket but the pass definitely didn’t get back to the LOS.
There was one close, plus he wasn’t really avoiding a sack. It was a bad play by Bridgewater because he was out of the pocket and could have just chucked it out of bounds. But that doesn’t usually get called.
That's exactly how i see it. The one confounding factor here is that Baltimore apparently was out of CBs....otherwise, and perhaps still, i'd think as the clearly better team they should like OT better than a coin-flip chance.
So often, when the camera zooms in on a huddle, it goes right to the QB calling the play(s), which instinctively bothers me every time it happens. Even with the broadcast delay, couldn't a team have a lip reader watching the game for those occasional moments, texting it to the sidelines, and getting it relayed to the green dot helmet(s) on defense? Seems like there'd be just about enough time to do that between huddle and snap. It doesn't happen too many times during a game, but even once might be enough to make a difference.
Am I wrong about the timing? Are the sidelines cut off from outside communication? etc.

That’s an ok challenge IMO, especially since the odds of needing two more of them are low, but they have really been aggressive on calling those plays incomplete in recent years. I’m convinced they review those full speed to see if it ‘seems’ bang bang.
I'm not sure that even looking at it through that lens would grant me the consistent understanding I crave.
This. Id take the 15 yards. He does this constantly and it’s infuriating.
The decision to go for 2 makes a lot more sense considering the injuries situation, which I wasn't aware of.
