Is this same crew that did the Pittsburgh-NE game last week?

Baldwin probably best call; I’d think hard about Breida however myself

.5 PPR debating among Jeffrey, Barber, Ballage leaning Jeffrey but curious about Ballage upside

Am I crazy to believe in Giants against Sanchez and a dispirited Washington team?  

Statistically that wasn’t a bad choice (lots of analysis at the time on this point) and as noted above the replays suggest they succeeded in the conversion...but got a bad spot. in terms of how often now, they have had limited opportunities this year as several of their losses have been blowouts

Looks like Ware is the winner of the “waiver wire sweepstakes” for 2018. wow

Don't think they will really be in on him, but that's not really how the cap works. Acquiring team is only on hook for his base salary, $11 mil (the other $3 mil per year in his annual average is bonus proration, but Cards have to pay that and thus it stays on their cap).  And then the...

Feels like a really sad situation---the unexplained absence in training camp certainly could be consistent with mental/emotional health issues and now this.   I hope the guy has his life in order going fowrard, football or not.  At least he should have the resources to get help---of whatever...

Connor is a lottery ticket, though one which has the advantage it likely either pays off or craps out in the next week or two, freeing up the roster spot. If you can get him late in a draft (at a point where everyone is a gamble) or cheap in FA he's surely worth a hold for a week or two to see...

I agree with that, but what I think he'd say (and no doubt Goodell) is they are just interpreting the words differently which is their prerogative. They have been pretty consistent this year in overturning calls without much deference.  That is why loyal-to-on-field-refs Pereira has been...

Watch the replay.  read the pass interference rule.  C'mon.

Hardly---no team has been hurt more by NY the last two years than the Patriots, who lost the league's best player for 4 games. But I do think on replay reviews the NFL has changed the standard and not announced it.  That is pissing off Pereira and Blandino, for good reason.  

As I've noted a couple times now, I think Riveron is applying a different standard for review than Pereira and Blandino did.  That explains (among other things) the ASJ reversal in the Jets game earlier this year.   I think NFL should own up to what the standard being applied actually is---and I...

The comment I responded to was that it was a touchdown---it wasn't, because he didn't get his foot down.  Romo agreed with that (and did so right away, and consistently) The review standard is a different question, and you can read my thoughts on that in prior posts (my belief, across a bunch...

Taylor is frustrating to watch---a lot of good stuff, but so many times he doesn't go through his reads and holds the ball too long.   I am not sure you can really win with him.

The officials in NY who do the review agreed, and they have both the final word and the best evidence.   You should re-listen to what Romo said---he said there's a question about possession and he wasn't sure. 

I agree---and Riveron has suggested that in his comments on a few replays this year.

This is what I mean.  Why not just ask 'was the call correct?'  If it's about the team, or what happened on some other call, that's narrative not reality.

Knowing the rules well enough to make this argument is respectable!   I think NFL struggles with what is sufficient to overturn. and there's reason to think they have changed the standard this year (Riveron has spoken in terms that suggest this). I would guess Riveron will say you can see the...

Romo didn't, and neither did the actual referees.  I'm quite comfortable with my base of knowledge.  There's a lot of folks around here who like narratives more than facts and that's unfortunate.
