I saw a Fair Catch interference penalty in this Chiefs game where the catcher signaled and moved up just enough to get bumped by an approaching defender and draw the flag. It feels like someone could make a niche career out of being the punt return equivalent to the "just throw it and get DPI" plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Mark Bavarro came out of retirement and now plays for the Jets? Why didn't any of you tell me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 It feels like the reputation the Vikings OL had is well deserved because the Chiefs, a defense that occasionally plays under touch football rules, has been surging at Kirk Cousins today. Also, the Vikings took a DOG penalty on 4th down that could have been prevented by having timeouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) KC defender puts two hands on Minnesota receiver on 4th down, called for PI. KC defender takes off helmet to argue, which is an automatic penalty. Wanna guess how many penalties actually ended up being called on KC? If you said any answer other than "0", you clearly have never seen a Mahomes-era KC game. p.s. The referees literally told the defender to put his helmet back on instead of throwing the flag.

Cobra Commander Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 maybe the Vikings are getting hit hard by regression to the mean in regards to close games also, of course a game where Kirk Cousins has to complete a Hail Mary ends with a sack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Backing up a bit: there is some truth to "you can't run any coverage against a great QB." The only way you consistently stop great QBs is by getting a consistent pass rush with four defenders. It's how the Giants beat the Pats both times in the Super Bowl, it's how the Bucs beat the Chiefs and Rams beat the Bengals. You need good pass rushers, and hopefully one elite one. Then you need to switch and disguise your coverage behind them so it can confuse the QB long enough to get in his face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 The Vikings were kinda screwed imo, similar to how the Pats were a couple weeks ago. Would he have caught it? No. Does that matter though? No as the league has explained many times. By rule it was PI and by rule it wasn’t uncatchable because it has to be humanly impossible for any human ever made to catch it. Romo has been unmotivated as has been discussed before. He isn’t even really watching it sounds like sometimes, because when he is watching he’s great. ROFL at Sean Payton. That should go down as a GOAT revenge game but it lost steam since the comments. It’s not even going down as 1 of the biggest accomplishments this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 so someone on the Niners' coaching staff was watching the Lions game earlier, because they just ran the same reverse flea flicker for the same TD result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I’ve read that a few places but that’s not the most uncommon play. I think the Lions have ran it a few times under Dan Campbell. I think I remember John Lynch saying the first thing he’d do as a 49er was build a top defensive line. People with no GM experience get it…why don’t GMs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Man how lucky are the 49ers as a franchise? They give up so much capital for an epic draft bust in Trey Lance, but somehow get totally redeemed with the absolute last pick of a draft in Purdy. He's looked really really solid this year, especially coming off of a Tommy Johns surgery. If they stay healthy I don't know who can beat them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 That touchdown was a harder throw than it looked like. I don’t know how good Purdy really is but he has the footwork, the touch, and the precision, and he has the brains and attitude for it. And good for Kittle. He hasn’t been carrying the load this year and I was wondering if he was being phased out or losing a step but he is not. And are the Cowboys going to have done to them what they did to the Giants and Colts on SNF? That’s the only way they could be more embarrassed than they have been by the 49ers the last 2 times. Shan did say they weren’t letting off the gas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 There's a ton of the season left, but the Niners damn sure look like the best team so far. That was just utter destruction of a good team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew it too and were mad about it, and they were still mad about losing to the 49ers. So there they were a good team with the added quality of being mad with something to prove, and the 49ers absolutely eviscerated them. They didn’t do it by a being cute either which you can always just sense is going to backfire. They just plain beat them with CMC and Kittle. The WRs had catches, but not because they were really necessary lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just utter destruction of a good team. Yeah, there was never really a moment where Dallas looked competitive and then they just gave up. When Dak threw that pick on a long bomb that he just flung up for grabs, it was just a frustration/give up play. SF definitely looks like the best team in the NFL right now. I feel like it's them in the top tier, Philly by themselves on the next level and then Detroit, Miami, and KC on the next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 KC/Miami is probably gonna be a pretty important game for the sake of shaking out who is where on the AFC side (insert grumbling that the Chiefs/Dolphins game is in Germany) so, a season where it seems like the best teams are in the NFC and then an AFC team wins the Super Bowl anyways?
