    I've always wondered if you caught those guys in an honest moment, the mahomes/curry types that get obscene help from the league/refs if they feel that it diminishes their accomplishments. Maybe their ego is so big that it doesn't, but they're not so stupid that they aren't aware of what's been going on.

    He's had something like 11 turnovers taken back by penalty

    Did you look that up or hear/read it somewhere? I was trying to find a stat like that during the season but had no luck.

    I have never understood why coaches can't challenge certain calls. It's just a BS rule that invites corrupt and incompetent officiating. I think owners are stupid to allow their hands to be tied that way.

    That when owners should demand that biased or corrupt officials be held accountable, and suspended or fired. I understand some calls are iffy, and some are based on a quick decision, without seeing the whole picture, but I'm talking about the reviewing officials seeing a play from all angles refusing to change an obvious bad call. When it happens as often as it does it speaks stupidity when NFL owners don't demand some changes, especially in being able to challenge whatever the heck they want to challenge. Bad call, no call, whatever. The NBA is just as bad, if not worse, because they can change the score over and over in 30 seconds by aiding one team. They can ignore fouls every time our guy goes to the basket.

    Give each team 3 challenges per game. They can challenge on any play and if they correct they get to keep their challenge. Of course if the owners made a rule like this it would make it almost impossible to rig games. The it would make games to long is a BS CYA excuse.

    This is how refs rig games without being obvious about it.

    Maybe getting hurt on that play will help him learn. That's a play he would've made last year.

    This is why coaches should be able to throw a flag on no calls too. It's so crucial, especially when a team scores, or a QB avoids a sack and lost yards on a game-changing play, if obvious holding gave that QB the opportunity to score. A replay can easily show whether holding occured or not.

    I think this goes back to CJ's age & experience. It was likely hammered into him all week to takes scrambles when the opportunity exists. So he saw it, put his head down and, iirc, got a 1st down. So now comes the tricky part of finding the balance between pocket awareness, eyes downfield, etc. It's a process.

    Agreed, For some it is, for others it comes more naturally.

    the same host who sounded the air raid alarm at 9 am last Saturday said it was Slowik who decided to reinstate Mason 69 back on the line. That it was the final straw for Meco after the game.
    So if that's the case, It's a certainty that there won't be any more 69 in a few months.

    I don't know. I would have overruled the Mason decision had I been Meco. Too important to disrupt what they had going.
    Can't say Cap didn't trust Slowik. He stayed out of the way until he didn't.

    So it is 3x worse to criticize officials than to make an illegal tackle that has already knocked out that exact player for multiple games?

    Loyalty is great for the weak in sports.
