Not really. Just said it stands. Would have went with whatever was called on the field. Should have called it down and let the challenge happen.

Then they reviewed it and the ball was clearly coming loose, but in the end it was 3 point mistake. Problem is a 7th round pick, that was taken off Clevelands PS has clearly beat him for the starting job, and he hurts our cap for 2 years regardless if he continues dropping passes or bags groceries.

I think it's because he was the only one that had an endzone view that saw the bobble.

If they didn't throw the flag I would have driven to TCF and shot all of the refs.

I'm not saying he's not playing because he fumbles, I'm just saying it's just another thing to go along with his current issues, that's all.

I think the refs are told to rule it a turnover if there is a question since all turnovers are automatically reviewed anyway. I think they got it right.

He's not playing because he is lazy. His route running sucks, his blocking sucks, he doesn't get separation and he drops passes. Other than that, he's great.

Good for you!!! Standing up for the cause!! :roll:
Thanks for the eye roll. This cause is something that I have to work with all the time at my university with college students (who are watching the NFL) who are not talking about it and then making terrible decisions that impact both the survivor and the perpetrator for the rest of their lives.

Cool. Back to football.
