BEARCPA

This is how it was when I was at LCM 15+ years ago. I assumed that was the norm, so this thread has been kinda eye-opening.

Unreal

I’m a Cowboys fan and I think it’s pretty safe to say that the ref goofed. That ref and his crew have been clueless all season. Call me naive but I believe the Lions players and coaches when they say that 68 reported, and that 70 was running towards the ref as a decoy tactic. None of the mess happens if the Lions don’t try those shenanigans, and they shouldn’t rely on the refs remembering what they went over with them pregame. I was very curious about your 4th point after the game (trying to stop the play when you hear the wrong player announced as eligible). NFL guys said trying to get the refs to correct that before the snap would have just resulted in a delay of game since the Lions didn’t have any timeouts.

Ewers will probably be thinking about that last play for a while. Looks like it would’ve been an easy TD if he drills a throw to Mitchell’s back shoulder instead of lobbing it like he did.

Yeah on replays I've seen the ref turned his mic on and clearly announced that 70 was the reporting eligible receiver. Just a bad goof on the ref's part. Lions made it possible though by having 2 linemen already close to the ref with another running towards him.

Didn’t put any money on that game because I didn’t want to watch Iowa play football

4-1 today including my Oregon bet. 16-10 in bowl bets this season, not too shabby. Michigan opens as 4.5 point favorite in the title game, with a total of 55.5.

The first 3 plays in the red zone were terrible

Best sport on earth. Congrats to the Huskies.

Dont want to sound like I’m making excuses. Washington was definitely the better team tonight.

Yepp. Washington was the 2nd most penalized team in the country coming into tonight. Only have 2 penalties for 9 yards so far.

Wasn’t a block in the back because the play was over. Should’ve been a personal foul.

Texas’ D needs to press the turnover button

I know Washington can’t run the ball outside of Penix keepers but they should’ve chewed some clock there.

Ewers can’t find the open guy when pressured, unlike Penix. That’s the difference.

Can’t believe Washington is calling running plays.

Yepp. Texas only rushed 4 and still got carved up on that TD. Their secondary just isn’t good enough to stop Penix and his receivers.

PAC 12 folks on Twitter say this isn’t the way. He struggles more when the D rushes 3 and drops 8. Not a threat to scramble.

Their receivers are insane too

Texas was doomed from the start

Entire body has to be over the line of scrimmage

Getting Derek Williams Jr. back in the second half will be big for the Texas secondary

Big Boy TD for Texas off the muffed punt

Texas keeps shooting themselves in the foot with penalties. Penix is a wizard when facing pressure.
