Not again -- Jags need a new center.

Marshall and Fitz are still cracking up about this play on the sideline 5 minutes later

Amused the Baltimore offense still focuses on heave and pray even with Flacco gone

Call stands. What in the fuck is going on
I think they got a directive from the league office not to overturn calls that aren't clearly incorrect, and therefore decided the evidence on that one was inconclusive.

I don't know. I'm inclined to go with incompetence. There was zero reason to give them a first down on the sneak and more than enough to overturn it. Then the ball is on the ground for the catch.

I cannot fathom that Tomlin didn't have his FG unit on the field on that 4th and 2. That review saved his ass.

You can only see the ball on the ground with the benefit of HD, frame-by-frame replay. I think you're going to see the initial call upheld on more and more of those.

How the hell did the official get that call wrong on Cooper getting out of bounds? He caught it and then dove OOB. Why would the official signal to run the clock? He was overruled by another official but it essentially gave Phily a timeout. WTF

The head linesman is a second-year NFL official. It wouldn't surprise me if he flat-out didn't know the rule. In college you have to be moving forward.

Is there an exception to the hit-to-QBs head PF penalty if the defender is blocked as he's hitting the QB? If not, they missed a clear head-hit on Alex Smith, which would've kept KC's drive going.
