I hope they stop “kicking the can” and accept that they are going to suck for a year or two. Sometimes you need a rebuild. The Saints can’t afford to keep going all out on free agent signings every year or this problem will just keep getting worse.
Crazy game!
Honestly closer scoreline than you would have thought considering the Lions gave up 5 turnovers and the Commanders 0. So many crazy mistakes from the offense, horrible game for Goff. He was looking bad before the hit to the head on the interception but that certainly didn’t help… Also it must be said, fantastic defense from the Commanders.
It may make you happy to learn that the player that retaliated WAS ejected, as well as another Jags player who shoved him.
IMO it isn’t all about whether you have an explicit intent to hurt someone, rather it’s about using the wrong technique in a situation where you know that someone could get hurt. The defender gets paid a LOT of money to be one of the best at this sport, so there is a reasonable expectation that they will make every attempt to preserve their coworkers’ safety.
Is "faster-than-Godchaux the Mendoza line of football?
It’s actually laughable how underdeveloped the rules around review are. I understand that some of that is an attempt to protect the refs ability to make decisions on the field, but this kind of thing is exactly the situation where there should be a review of it done without there even being a challenge flag thrown.
For a league generating $13 billion/year in revenue and paying out ~$400 million/year per team, there is a real lack of investment in actually running the games smoothly.
The app I use (“Boost”) made it extremely easy, it’s pretty much just as easy to use as reddit or instagram I would say - maybe even easier.
