[Captain Obvious]

Wish tre could catch......and tackle

This feels a lot like a Ron Rivera missed opportunities type of game.

did anyone see Douglas actually commit a penalty? The one replay didn't

He didn’t. Gifted them a field goal.

To many almosts in this game. Almost scoring TDS, almost getting INTs......ugh.

[CatTower]

Refs just gave them 3 points there.  That was one of the fishiest calls I've seen in quite awhile.

Doesn’t mean it isn’t a foul. Here is the NFL rule:

The Rule: As approved by NFL clubs in March, it is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent. Contact does not have to be to an opponent's head or neck area – lowering the head and initiating contact to an opponent's torso, hips, and lower body, is also a foul.
 
Go back watch the play. Watch the lowered helmet by the bears defense. Observe the helmet to helmet contact and understand the rule.
 

It is was an easy call per standards of the rule and the there wasn’t any controversy between the refs or players. In fact the bears defending immediately got up and pointing to himself as if to say ‘that was on me’.

But you’re still confused for some reason as if this is a debate on any level. 

It's a stupid rule. I didn't say it wasn't a rule.

We can thank liberals for crying about how dangerous football is for a lot of the stupid rules now including the onside kick rule.

Close game at half.  Rhule and staff will make some adjustments and get us rolling

Never before has 7 points felt like so much.

And people laughed when I said that.

Except he initiated contact with his shoulder and actually moved his helmet away from contact. Not that it would be an easy call to make at game speed.

Whelp the difference is the INT....

Is it just me or does every kicker we face make they career long against us . Making 50 yards plus fg against use like it’s nothing . Then tune in again another week the same kicker missing 30 and 40 yard kicks . This been going on for a while now
