That delay of game penalty was horrible. That should never happen. McVay and Goff deserve every bit of grief they get for that one.

Why the fuck did that guy go out of bounds, I just can’t handle the stupidity.

Nice game, though.
If he’s tackled in bounds, the game is basically over. I appreciate his desire to err on the side of avoiding disaster.

If you want to blame someone for not getting GTL a few yards closer, Goff‘s delay of game penalty is the home you should pick.

I thought he could go further and get out, idk. Have to watch it again. Couple of plays running together in my head right now.

This game has had 3 huge calls reversed, which should warm the hearts of replay review fans.

The state of NFL replay review. Three big calls get overturned on plays that the officials understandably got wrong, but then the huge Clay Matthews PF call is not reviewable.

TV oddity - Green Bay @ Dallas is the only Fox late game, and CBS only has one late game (Denver @ LAC) which they for some reason have the Nantz/Romo team broadcasting.

Bears should have traveled to London earlier. Raiders have been there all week. Bears defense looks sluggish, compounded by being on the field so much. At least so far.

Dalton enter the half with 22 yards at home against the Cardinals after that turd last week. Not so good for the newest wonderboy coach.

This is the most Giants sequence.

Short FG is good
Hitting the snapper, auto 1st, half the distance to goal
Sack, penalty throwaway, short gain
Short FG is good.

And not even a flag.

I realize ET3 didn’t act with malice, but if you want hits like that out of the game, there needs to be consequences for the guys who deliver them.
Yeah, I can't believe no flag. That is the type of hit the league should be trying to get rid of.

Rudolph died, then was made to walk off because the stupid cart wouldn't work and needed to be pushed off the field. Even soccer has those hand held plastic stretchers

Jax guy catches ball, takes 2 steps and is reaching out over the pylon in the out of bounds area and the defender knocks it away. Ruling on field in incomplete.

Going under review now...

edit - overturned. Completed catch. was a crazy incomplete call to begin with. He is marked out at the half yard line which makes perfect sense

Vrabel, what the hell are you doing? Down 7 with 5 minutes left, you send out your 0/3 kicker to try a 53 yarder on 4th and 4? Go for it, dude.

what are the Steelers doing BTW? they've been close wire to wire with a bad backup QB, then later a terrible 3rd QB, yet Conner only has 10 carries, and 0 targets. If your offensive gameplan is to ignore your 2nd best player, and put the ball in the hands of your worst player, all in an attempt to get more touches for Diontae Johnson and James Washington, your entire coaching staff should be fired.

Wait, they called that long pass to David Johnson a completion? He never had control for any part of that "catch", from what I could see.

I hate using the last timeout after getting a first down with over a minute left. Go spike it if you need to, don't waste your last TO.
