@WWmEmez @jeffzrebiec Shouldn’t have paid him. He’s a great run blocker but average to below average in pass protection. He wasn’t worth top end left tackle money.

@ParkingTicket05 @ProFootballTalk It’s not a broken neck, and the Ravens have left everything up to him and his team regarding if he’ll play again. They want him back on the field, him coming back wouldn’t allow them to void his contract you dolt.

Obviously a lot of talk about the overtime of Bills vs Broncos. Here are my thoughts on all of the big rulings down the stretch:

No Flag for PI on Denver
I support the decision to not flag Denver on the fade route. Is there contact? Sure, but it’s a play on to me.

Interception or Catch?
The interception is a wild play, with a lot going on. Seeing it full speed, I thought it was an interception and would’ve ruled it that way if I was on the field. My perspective on it is that Cooks lost the ball as soon as his body hit the ground. In my opinion, if there was no defender near him and he lost the ball when he hit the ground, the ruling would’ve been incomplete.

I would have liked to see the game stopped for a more formal review, with an announcement from the referee on exactly how they ruled.

Pass Interference #1 on Bills
I didn’t think this was a foul. It was, to me, the same play that happened the drive before with Denver and didn’t warrant a flag. Noting that on that play there was a flag for Roughing the Passer too, so Denver still would’ve got a first down.

Pass Interference #2 on Bills
Clearly correct and pass interference.

At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time.

When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame.

For a catch:

A) Secure control of the ball ✅
B) Two feet down in bounds ✅
C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.

C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule:

If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.

Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.

Don’t forget this was called DPI last year. Dont let Bills fans whine about the refs

@THICCCUMES @Braves Just left and it was pouring rain moments ago I don’t know what you’re on

[Michael Fusciardi @michaelfush7]

@jeffzrebiec I can always count on Jeff to be on the ball with everything. You’re a blessing to Ravens fans

[Michael Fusciardi @michaelfush7]

Why do people think books need to void bets because of injury? That’s been part of betting forever. Y’all soft

@HinkeyHaines @RealMichaelKay @Rosenbergradio @DonLagreca Calling Lamar “serviceable” and thinking he’s going anywhere else. Bruh you must be celebrating the holiday early and I salute you for getting after it this early. Only reason you’d say this

[Michael Fusciardi @michaelfush7]

So the fix was in clearly, but does the stupid ass @pac12 realize Utah has zero shot at the playoff? You seriously gave USC the business to ensure your conference dies. Good stuff you dingus
