that was the same crew as last years Panther game and this years redskins, they are totally in his head, but also give him no quarter.

It's called "protecting the field." If as Alsacs explained, it's curfew and not dress code, it still has to be dealt with, and be seen to be dealt with. Obviously you can't send the message to rest of the team that there are two sets of rules. And good on Rivera for taking the heat. But there's still seems to be something bigger than just this. Newton's body language on the field and sidelines seems to say he's annoyed at having to tolerate everything.

He looked to me like he's rushing to get rid of the ball, throwing before he's set. Which is a problem because he never had the arm strength of Newton or others who could get away with that. Either he feels he has to throw it before he's sacked, or before the ephemeral window closes. But either way he doesn't look comfortable the way Ryan and Carr, et al, do.

great line.
and you have a great line, but I think this is the week for Dak to rookie because I think Spags is really smart.
no JPP will make it tough though...and it didn't look good.

Yes. Though I got them as a fairly significant dog to win their division still given how much easier the Chiefs remaining schedule is.
That's why I said the NYG game matters because then if you lose that and split TB/DET then that last game could very well matter for HFA. Look Dallas is def in the driver's seat but it's not a done deal yet in terms of HFA.
Remember last year when BB made some strange decisions in the NYJ game at Met Life? That came back to bite them on the arse. This year they need to win and not overthink it.
I think that's a fair point but early on this season I noticed that he's paying a lot more attention to the oncoming traffic than he used to. The ball comes out very quickly at the slightest sign of pressure.

Or he is flat out falling to the ground to avoid the hit.

not sure how that differs from this, where he is 3rd...This stat on Tom Brady is insane. He has trailed 92 times entering the 4th quarter. He has a winning record in those games.

Your stat includes when the team was tied or ahead going to the 4th Q and comes from behind to win.
The stat I included was strictly with the team behind going into the 4th Q.
Beckham needs to shutup, he isn't doing himself any favors. He can complain about the refs all he wants, they called 12 penalties on Pit yesterday and 4 on the Giants.

Should have been 18. I never complain about the refs, because in the end, it pretty much evens out. But I can count at least 4 PI non-calls yesterday that would have been calls if it were any other player. I think he's right - that crew should not call NYG games anymore. Too much bad blood on both sides.
And there was a clear hold on the Giants first td, its hard to complain when the other team has 8 more called penalties than you.

Just talking specifically about the 'missed' PI's
Which plays are you talking about? The first one on Beckham could have gone either way.

When the defender had his arm wrapped around him in the late 3rd (early 4th?), and even the commentators said it should have been PI, that was at least the 3rd if not the 4th that should have been called.

It is like holding in that they could call it every single play if they wanted to. At this point the best any fan can hope for is they screw up more calls for the the other team than they do for yours because officiating is a disaster.

Another part of the problem is the increasing number of times teams throw the ball, because it's too dam difficult to run the ball with any success. So, the opportunity for PI and catch/no catch is much more prominent.
