Saying devito doesnt deserve the roughing the qb penalty because he is italian and should be preceived as tough kinda crossed the line. I'm polish-irish for the record
Week 14

I thought the same as you. His own lineman fell into his legs was what it looked like to me.
Its definitely questionable but if someone is going to stereotype a group as physically tough or tougher than others, its better than a lot of other alternatives.
I know he sucked, but I wonder how his entire would have changed if this TD was called good. Like, he earns the trust of Brady, he's a hero in that game, he has confidence, etc.
I don't think it honestly mattered much in the long run, but there's a world where that play changes Harry's career.
Thanks, that’s what I saw too. It looked really bad. I figured it was his own guy, but Orlovsky’s comment made me question it.
(really bad as in the most obvious personal foul of the year)
I honestly get a chuckle out of all these afterthought backups like DeVito and Browning outplaying Mac this year.
I play in a 16 team FFL, so basically, all the starting QBs go in the draft, and you're SOL if they get hurt during the season. In the draft, I took Burrow early and Mac late. Mac was so bad I wound up dropping him for Browning the week before Burrow got hurt, thinking I'd rather start anybody, including a backup forced into service, rather than Mac. When Burrow got hurt, I picked up Tommy DeVito. And three weeks ago, when he signed with the Browns (but before he played), I picked up Joe Flacco. So my QBs now are Jake Browning, Tommy DeVito, and Joe Flacco. And obviously, I'd rather have any of them than Mac.
Considering there is nothing on twitter at all, it's interesting people on here seem to be upset.
ESPN should keep Dan on the useless studio shows I don't watch. Sucked as a player and sucks and blows in the booth. Chris and Lous don't need his "analysis" and either does the viewing public.
This is why I haven't played FFL in nearly 20 years. The constant shuffling due to injury really tugs at the soul. It's one thing to replace one guy with another due to performance, but due to head injury? Yikes.
They're trying soooooo hard to make him a personality. I never thought someone would annoy me more than Doug Gottlieb, but Orlovsky is getting there
Give them that win and the call in the Bills game and they'd be in the playoffs right now, which is crazy given how they been smoked in some of their games.
They said because he reestablished his footing, but it did look like he was stumbling down.
