This ref always looks like the dumbest, most perpetually confused guy to me whenever he is announcing penalties.

There’s a bizarre lack of news about Purdy seeing as his absence is by far the biggest thing that can effect the outcome. FoX stinks.

That’s something that you can only catch with TV. On field officials are not supposed to watch the flight of the ball

Holy shit. Eagles are just catching all the breaks.
Huh? They had what would likely have been a lengthy fumble return blown dead, and the officials missed an obvious call on the skycam. And I don’t think you can blame them for not calling the Smith catch incomplete; that’s on Shanahan for not challenging.

Can you explain why, after the line is set, if the QB changes the play and the whole line stands up or looks back or starts pointing, that the defense couldn't react to that and it's not a false start?

I quoted him b/c of the miss call on the catch going their way, the missed false starts on several plays, injuring the other teams starting QB.

What is the official on the sideline (the one who runs up and spots where it went out) watching on punts? Is he more just looking straight up to gauge where the ball crosses rather than watching the ball directly?
