Random but why are there still so many photographers on NFL sidelines? Videographers sure, that makes a lot of sense to have every possible angle to make the game look better and have better replay reviews. But how many people are looking at still photos of NFL players taken from a sideline?

Kelce could’ve beat that last man and scored with a little effort, just saying.

That's the 3rd offensive offsides penalty I've seen today, which is probably more than I saw all of last year. Point of emphasis?
Prior to the Eagles game, Jets DT Quinton Jefferson made news saying Kelce was lined up illegally every time on the Tush Push. I wonder if coaches put in some calls to the league about OL alignment.

I thought the Swift stuff was kinda fun the first few weeks. But my God, enough already. The reactions are so manufactured.

The Bills so far have to have the weirdest season. Do injuries explain it. Allen sucked against the Jets, then they look SB contenderish and they have been bad since London. Should have lost to Giants, got lucky to even be ahead of Pats in the 4th and quickly blew it.

No wonder McVay does not care about early draft picks; he just figures he’ll get the best receiver in the 5th round anyway.

3rd and 2 for the Chiefs and I wonder where they are going.

Oh, there is Kelce wide open for 20. Again. Not a Charger in the same zip code.

So you gotta double Kelce on every single play and match up 1-on-1 with everyone else if you're the Patriots, right? They have the CBs to match up with KC's receivers.

I don’t know why this isn’t what everyone always does. Pretty much every team has the corners to match up w MVS, Rashee Rice, and Kadarius Toney

"If you watch it in real time, it looks incomplete. But when you slow it way down, it shows the receiver had possession"

Yeah, if you pause it here for 3 seconds, it's a complete pass. But once you press play it's incomplete again.

Which brings me back to my dream, where all replay reviews are done in real time from various angles and need to be done in less than 60 seconds, not slowed down to 1/128th speed for minutes on end.

Joshua Dobbs was on Cleveland this year and they traded him and a 7th round pick for a 5th round pick. Legitimately awesome haul, tbh.

Dobbs would be, BY FAR, the best QB on the Browns this season. He's significantly better than Watson (who is legitimately bad and now hurt and made of fine china) and PJ Walker.(an XFL QB) And obviously DTR isn't ready, so he's not in contention.

Cleveland's front office really knows what they are doing.
