Kolek planning to go pro
Tony Romo was initially successful but the networks don’t seem to realize that it’s not that easy. Maybe Brees can get there, but why put him on a playoff telecast before anything else? (I know NBC doesn’t have a “bench” since they only have one game a week.) Ian Eagle and Charles Davis were fantastic in the other game. You don’t need to be a “name” to do good work.
I know it blew early. But the crew didn’t think so at the time and it’s not reviewable.
How can the guy who blew the whistle not know when he blew the whistle?
Would imagine Niners/Packers is the Saturday night game next weekend (unless they go all NFC on Sunday).
He thought he did so after the catch was made. My guess is that he was looking at his feet and didn’t realize when he blew it. After they signaled for the TD there was nothing they could have done about it anyway.
He was the highest paid kicker in the league and was (even self admittedly) declining as the 2015 season wound down and then struggled in the 2016 preseason. Anyone who watched Bears games that season wasn’t surprised he got cut.Lots of revisionist history out there.
If the official believed the ball already was thrown and caught before he blew the whistle ... why was he blowing the whistle for Burrow being out of bounds? It wouldn't have mattered if Burrow was out of bounds if the ball were in the end zone. There would be no reason to blow the whistle in that case. He blew the whistle only because he thought Burrow stepped out of bounds before the throw.They knew they botched it and rather than admit to botching it and replaying the down, the concocted a clearly false story about the whistle coming after the catch. There's no way the guy who blew the whistle could have believed it was after the catch. They're lying.
Cowboys didn't need to rush to get a play off before the 2 minute warning. Time wasn't a factor. They didn't look ready and they wasted a down. The whole game has been filled with their mistakes. They're only still in it because SF has made a ton of mistakes too.
Dallas commits so many penalties. The crazy thing is, they could be called for far more. It is like they try to dare the refs to call a penalty every possession.
Putting someone in motion on a QB sneak is the definition of overthinking it.
Probably the dumbest call I’ve seen in over 50 years of watching football.
So so dumb. Wonder if McCarthy is fired now.
