They're one week and change into the season and are going with way too many reviews letting the call on the field stand, the runner tripped and did not fall over anyone, that's a horrible non reversal.

I’m not sure it mattered. They picked up the 1st down the next play, and I doubt the clock will be a factor.
The head-scratching calls on the field are understandable; the fuck-up on replay is much less so.
What if it had happened on 3rd or 4th down, and their drive stopped right there? It just made no sense.
Without a doubt, it was a bad call. My point was that it probably wouldn’t make a difference. And it didn’t.
Not in terms of impact (obviously), but in terms of incompetence, that is one of the worst booth reviews in history. That is just inexcusable.
So...Taylor - I've only been half watching as I do bedtime for my son, but...does he throw a TON of hospital balls?
Fair points, not really, but I will say I find the Darnold road to redemption/relevancy angle to the 2021 Panthers compelling.
D-hold bails him out, but Jones blew a 3rd down conversion there with a bad throw — Shepard picks that up with even a halfway decent throw.
Hoping this is Carson Wentz running around trying not to get sacked, set to the theme from Benny Hill.
Carson Wentz running around trying not to get the jab and avoiding close contact would work as well.
For sure. I think the question is whether you think the Texans are good enough to make that game compelling. The Texans looked good on Sunday, but it’s possible that the Urban Meyer Jags are historically awful.
The Giants are so screwed. Daniel Jones keeps flashing just enough potential to keep them from moving on.
That was a hell of a throw.
That was a hell of a throw.
I don’t watch them enough to know if his shortcomings are the shitty coordinators he has had or on him.
Almost every ball. On nearly every play, a receiver is jumping to make the catch.
What is the rationale for the Thursday night matchups always being so bad? I feel like I had heard that they have to be scheduled so far in advance that the league can’t pick the best matchups. But both these teams have been ass for a long time so that doesn’t really jibe for me.
If you’re a QB playing solid, be on a NY team and the bouquets shower upon you. The Sanchez hype train was tops.
In this case, these are two of the better drawing teams in the league in terms of TV ratings. Better to match them up on a Thursday early in the season before their records get bad.
Is Washington a draw? They have largely been mediocre or bad since 1993. Don’t see them on SNF much.
Well, I think SNF gets priority and then FOX and CBS get to protect at least one game every week. So the best three games of any week are automatically out. Then you have to factor in that no team can have more than one Thursday game a year, and it can’t be after a Monday night game. So I think the pickings get slim pretty quickly.
Well they have a big fan base in one of the biggest markets in the country. As a rule NFC East teams draw well.
