Re: Observations from the Saints' Win vs Falcons
The argument to if the NFL has a heavy interest to a predetermined outcome can clearly be viewed in this video. The player asked the ref am I ok and the ref give him the thumbs up. You can see the ref going for his flag immediately after the 👍, pulled hold, pull hold. Then the instant the ball is snapped the is coming out.
This weekend was full of examples of truly bad calls that even with pretty telling video to change the call NYC /Goodell hell tight. All these ref assisted calls change the outcome of the game. It’s beyond BS at this strange of game with the technology available to make sure the right call is made. That it has not changed all clearly gotten worse is an indictment of the NFL/Goodell/Owners approving of the current status of officiating. SP forced a change briefly to enable teams to challenging and review of all PI calls they did not overturn a single PI call during the one season it was in place. Then used their inaction in not overturning PI after the season to dropped the PI Challenge. |

Re: Observations from the Saints' Win vs Falcons
I was under the impression that the other team could pick that up too? I might be wrong but didn't the Browns do something like that a couple years back?

One man's trash is another man's treasure. So, you just never know what a team will do. Especially the Browns. |

Re: Observations from the Saints' Win vs Falcons
Speaking of (ex)Falcons, Matt Ryan is back at it. This time with the Colts against the Vikings.

Re: Observations from the Saints' Win vs Falcons
Nope. Dead cap is the accounting for monies already spent in terms of bonuses and such. It is already on the team's books and cannot be transferred. Team can, however, negotiate the future base pay, but that already goes with the player to the new team. The trading team can, and has, agreed to cover part of that pay to move the player. That's not what you were hoping. I believe that's what you were thinking about in that Browns deal. Was it with the Texans, perhaps? It was a QB.
