Oh and let's not forget when it was fourth down and 5 and they run into the kicker and all of a sudden it's still short by inches! That guy didn't run into the kicker, he barreled into the kicker. How is that only a 5 yard penalty? 

 

 

Running into the kicker was the correct call.   It was not of the 15 yard variety at all.  

 

There were allot of crappy calls in that game though.

Yes, it was technically running into the kicker. Guess it just looked worse than most running into the kicker fouls, because the guy who did it certainly got his money’s worth, and it also looked worse than a lot of roughing the passer calls these days.

The 1 good call I seen was when they called Wentz down (in the grasp) on the sack he got away.    If they are going to be punishing defenders for tackling QB's, they need to be calling the play dead earlier.

What I didn't understand was that was a 4th and 5, we get 5 yards from the penalty, yet we were still about a yard short from the first down.

The yards to go is always rounded up or down.  2nd and 3 could be 2nd and anywhere from 30" to 42".

And let's be clear, the defensive pass interference by Hairston was a push off by their tight end. It should have been offensive pass interference. Look at it again.

 

I saw the same thing. There was contact, but it was more on the receiver. Anybody look at it again and see?

The guy hit Sanchez pretty good. But Sanchez wabbled and tried to stay upright, which made the hit look less severe. I think if Sanchez would have collapsed at contact it would have been a 15 yd penalty.

Yeah...Our offense looking like we got Trent Dilfer at QB.  

Brissett would have won the game if he started, Luck looked lost at times, he should have like 10 interceptions this year with his awful decision making and the fact he is late getting the ball out and throws behind receivers way to much

you have to be careful though acting can get you hurt too by falling awkwardly

I agree about Luck, but I wouldn't say Brissett would have won the game.

he has much better zip on his throws that Luck does not have right now at all

That is true, but he was mediocre last season.   I think this game would have been similar.   Ebron probably would not have hauled in the passes again.

Don't quote me on that but as far as I remember they didn't show replay of the play until after they had snapped the ball for the next play.

This was pretty sad. After 3 weeks, this is some of the worst officiating I've ever seen.

 

The only solace I take is that we had the defending champs on the ropes...with awful QB play.

Hard to say if Brisset would have won but he would have been able to at least challenge the Eagles deep more often.  Luck barely tested them. 

 

Luck is starting to give me the impression that he has already reached his ceiling.  He keeps making the same mistakes.

I sure hope not! He needs to get his arm strength and his mental demons under control
