How is that not pass interference?

Jeffrey sort of had his arm around Waynes'. It was one of those where they could have potentially called it both, so call it on neither imo.

That should have been OPI on Hollins.

 

[Wild11MN]

That seems like a really dumb time to try a fake FG.

 

[Digitalbooya]

How is THAT DPI?? That is a horrible call on Philly.

Definitely a bad call. But as we've seen, it's not egregious enough where there's any chance of overturning it if you challenge. Which is dumb.

It's just inconsistent with the non-call earlier which was worse than that. Makes no sense.

The Gophers are now ranked 20th in the coaches poll. Weird.

Being undefeated and playing in a power 5 conference does help a lot for getting into the rankings halfway through the season. They haven't really beaten any good teams, but they also haven't lost to any bad teams either.

Nov is going to be a tough month for them: PSU, @.Iowa, @.NW, UW. That's when we'll see what they are as a team, if they beat Iowa and UW they could be playing in the Conf Champ game.

Go 2-2 and finish 10-2 overall.

I see them going 1-3 with that schedule with the only win against Northwestern.

 

[57special]

Yup.

 

[Wild11MN]

Packers gifted a win after three horrible calls in the fourth quarter. Two to extend drives, one which should have been a ~50 yard pass interference play.

I will say that was an extremely smart play by Williams to stop before the endzone to not give Detroit the ball back.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Not the Packers fault the refs are incompetent. 5-1!!

Isn't that pretty much the theme of the year in the NFL?

 

[NHL1674]

Nice to see the Yankees struggling. Effing hosers.

Unfortunately this team struggles on the road vs good teams, and Detroit... is a pretty good team.

Yeah, I'm not picking them to win this one, but I think it's close. Prater always kills us.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Detroit has a bottom 4 run defense in the NFL and have given up 100+ rushing yards in every game. We should be able to grind out long possessions given our running attack. We need to shut down Golladay and we should be able to take this one.

If we put Rhodes on Golladay, he's gonna burn us repeatedly. Waynes is our best corner by far at this point.

No arguments here.

Mackensie Alexander has been really good this year as well. When targeting Mackensie Alexander, QBs have a combined rating of 8.3 this season.

Hughes is best.

 

[TaLoN]

Hughes is best.

He's not even better than Alexander yet.
