Yea. I like that it wasn't called, but I'm surprised based on what else they've called. Like the Mac Jones one yesterday.With the way RTP has been called this year, I was thinking a flag was coming in there with the tackle on Herbert

I'm glad it wasn't called for RTP as I believe it is tough on the defender to make a tackle to make sure the QB goes down but don't do it too hard. Just the way he threw Herbert done to ground I was just waiting for a flag to come in.It was close. Thought they may call him for the toss if the refs believed they blew the whistle and DL had enough time to lay off and not put him down. But if you are giving a 6’6 230 lb Herbert the chance to escape then you can’t blame the DL for trying to get him to the ground.
There has to be balance of the refs are giving the mobile or escape QBs the chance to avoid the sack then they can’t fault the DL for taking them down. Otherwise, protect the QB and call in the grasp and blow the play dead.
Some refs would have thrown the Flag. So the DC and DL coach should make that point to the team during team meetings. That was close and could go either way. Don’t want to risk a flag. But again, also comes down to how hard the AB is fighting g to get away. IMO if the QB has his arms tied up the refs needs to come in and blow the whistle for in the grasp as the QB will be vulnerable if take. To the ground without his hands to brace for the ground.I'm glad it wasn't called for RTP as I believe it is tough on the defender to make a tackle to make sure the QB goes down but don't do it too hard.

Oxygen is needed for human lifeZach Wilson is a terrible QB
It's been quite a boring season if we are being honest. So many bad QB's, so many bad primetime games.I like the NFL a lot but let's be honest, at least 60% of games are pretty trash.

And we get Panthers @ Bears, Jets @ Raiders and Broncos @ Bills in primetime this week.
See I'd send dudes deep on first down all the time, it's like 50-50 to get a PI call.
Yeah it's been ugly. Rodgers going down with an ACL on his first possession really set the tone for the season I guess.
Just a lot of bad to mediocre at best football teams right now.
Miss the creativity that used to be in this league, so many check downs and little bs screen plays. Maybe it's the lack of quality QBs but it seems like a completed throw over 25yds is a rarity.
