I thought the ill-fated Evans pass was a catch. Was surprised replay didn’t rule that way. I thought the Wheat sack was probably a trip. But these things are hard to catch in real time and what’s the difference between a trip and running while being shoved by a 300 pound OP? I am not in favor of giving Park Avenue more latitude to intervene in calls like that, just like I am OK that they did not intervene on the illegal contact not called on the 4th down throw to TeSlaa. Win some, lose some.

They have been a little out of sync but are still third in NFL in PPG. A big part of this, I think, is the Decker injury. Even though he was back last night I think he had two penalties and gave up at least one sack. Hopefully he can get right over the bye.

Not out of the question that MCDC is in sole possession of #2 on that list by the end of the season. Certainly by early next season, and by the end of next season he may take over for Rasputin.

Going into the bye at 5-2. Tied for second in NFC conference standings. Leading NFC and second in NFL in point differential. Getting healthy at the right time. All good.

I thought the cap was 25 but it felt like he was out there a lot. DL was massively improved with him on the field.

Yes, I think that means the end of his 10 season x 1,000 yard streak.

MCDC is the winningest coach in the NFL over the past four years and we are complaining about his challenge flags because he lost a challenge but won five minutes of rest for his defense at the cost of a 30-second time out. We’re losing the plot here.

Really incredible defensive performance. McNeil made a huge difference. The No Name defensive backfield had 12 PBUs. How many weeks before the Sheppard head coach bandwagon leaves the station?

And there was a delay of game on the 4th down play.

Aikman: “One of the best defensive efforts I’ve ever seen.”

This No Name secondary is winning the game.

New York called and said Robert Porcher recovered the fumble.

Three Lions rolled right over that free ball.

Hutch ran right by Mayfield a few snaps ago. Finally got the hold at least.

Yes throw that flag.

I want to play DB for Kelvin Sheppard.

This secondary is balling.

That is Maulet’s ball.

Well, they might fine Amik for daring to strip that football but they can’t take away the fumble.

I believe that was not a chant of “Ja-Red Goff.”

What a BS call.

ASB on fire.

McNeil has blown up two Bucs drives.

I saw a clip on X where Kris Draper was being interviewed about Finnie. It seems when he scouted him before the draft Finnie was not on the radar but ended up getting a lot more ice time than was typical due to injuries of other players. Draper saw Finnie’s skating as elite. He also said that Finnie has grown three inches since then. That’s a little hard to square with pre-draft and current measurements which both show him at 6’1” but agents sometimes exaggerate height pre-draft. And his listed weight is now 190 vs 170 pre-draft. Anyway, seems like Draper was in the right place at the right time to see Finnie’s talents showcased.
