Yeah that one was bad and you could see how mad he was after it he kept asking the ref for an explanation.

Didn't change the outcome of the game but the NFL should fine that guy after the fact

Hear me out. I went bowling last night. I was down 3 in the 10th frame and I was up. I threw two gutter balls. No joke. (It was my 5th game and my knuckles were shot)

So, I lost.

That's the last drive in the Cards game today.

So maybe it doesn't change the outcome. But that missed conversion was earlier in the game. It charges the play calling and the strategy on both sides. The point is, it was pivotal. Murray may have still ultimately **** the bed, but the entire game dynamic shifts.

Oh I agree I'm just assuming we still would have made other mistakes, pick, fumbled punt, dropped passes etc. We never scored another point after that.

But yeah at teh time it was big because it makes it a 3 point game if we score the 2 points.

But that SHOULD have been a penalty I think they should fine Harrison Smith that was a cheap shot

 

[LA Redbird]

Yeah it's clear. That one should come after the fact.

It is weird I watch a bunch of games every week and over and over they say the same things are point of emphasis, blockers downfield early, WR's blocking when the ball is in the air, and hits to the head of QB's and WR's.

All 3 of those happened to us today without a call although they did get Thielen a bit later for the same thing blocking while the ball is in the air.

But yeah Harrison Smith needs to be fined on this one and the refs need to be held accountable it's a safety issue someone has to be watching that. Aside from the penalty they probably SHOULD have forced D Hop to go into the tent to make sure he was ok but they never saw it I guess.

NFL's response will be to force him into concussion protocol for the next 3 weeks.

The NFL is fixed and always has been. We always get screwed. I mean let’s look at all the plays in the last 10 years. I bet it’s probably lost 7-9 games. Refs seem to ignore very obvious fouls against us. It’s crazy. But the calls in the last 2 weeks have been horrible. Just go back and look at the thread we got robbed quite a bit

There’s probably 15 concussions a game that don’t get recognized or tested for.

I will say this. JJ was being held all day. Was it ever called? I mean two in a row called on McBride.
