On Brown's catch on the sideline, the view from behind the bench looking towards the field, I thought pretty clearly showed his left toe out of bounds when he caught it. Was I seeing things or was everyone so focused on the drag of the right foot that nobody looked at it? From the other views, it looked like his toe was in bounds, but that view seemed different.

Rodgers has bailed McCarthy out numerous times over the years. Now that Rodgers is injured people are seeing what type of coach McCarthy really is. BB at lest proved he can win without his “star” QB. (Both due to Brady being injured/suspended). I have family in GB and they want his head.

yammer's favorite poster
Division opponents who are playing for their playoff lives. Wouldn’t be surprised if they drop one.
given how bad they looked against GB tonight i'd bet they're even money to drop one of their next two (@CIN, vs BAL on a short week)... they should be favorites in both games but probably only around 60-70% to win each individually.

but it's very hard to see them losing either of their last 2 games, so even if they drop one before week 15, we need to win @PIT to get the 1 seed.

So, the Chargers have a better than decent shot at winning the division after starting 0-4 and the Chiefs starting 4-0. What a collapse by KC.

Not sure the angle you mention but just watched it for first time. The angle down the sidelines shows green so I think it was clearly inbounds.

Can you imagine a Patriot wide receiver getting tossed out of the game, and then telling Belichick "He ripped off my gold chain."
Actually though, Crabtree didn't throw the punch (which is what led to ejection) until much later in altercation, after Talib and 2 other Broncos closed in on him. Talib threw the first punch.

I'm not excusing it at all, but it wasn't a chain ripped off and then a punch thrown.

I'm all about entertainment--I hope he wears an even bigger chain next time they play.

I agree, every angle down the sideline, or from the field certainly looked like his left foot was in bounds to me. But there was one angle from behind the bench (basically in the stands) looking down that they only showed once. They showed it very briefly, because they were talking about the right foot at the time and you couldn't get a good look at the right foot from that angle, and then they went away from it. I wish I had DVR'ed the game, or knew how to screen shot something like that, because on that one view, unless I was clearly not seeing it right (which is entirely possible), it looked to me like the toes of his left foot were clearly out.

Anyway, not sure if it matters anyway, as Green Bay would have found another way to lose. I was just hoping someone else caught the same view I did and could either confirm or refute what I thought I saw.

The cradle of the game.
I’m always mesmerized that the NFL Properties graphic artists were able to make the “B” in the Ravens’ logo point in the right direction, regardless of which way the bird is pointing.

So when this game quickly becomes thoroughly uninteresting, I’ll be focused on that.

Now I'll not be able to see anything else

Hasn't this happened with Flacco and his knee brace multiple times over the years? I seem to remember one a couple years ago where he slid like that, his brace dug so hard into the ground it flipped him ass over tea kettle. Learn how to slide on the other leg, Joe.

Throwing it in here, as I don't know where else to put it. I don't get Blandino's take on this reversal in the Jets game. It seems evident to me the ball is not secured until the receiver is out of bounds = incomplete. I entirely agree the "irrefutable visual evidence" standard has eroded when it comes to NFL replay review, but I don't see this play as an example of that.
