Thursday Night Football

[Kevinicus]

its a clear penalty.

Disagree. He is not defenseless. He braced for the hit and ducked his head. That's a football move.

 

[Hoods]

I hate that penalty. What is Demps supposed to do when the receiver drops his head that low? Demps even lead with his shoulder.

 

[DTown214]

For fantasy this week I had to pick either Niles Paul or Larry Donnell as my tight end. So of course, I pick Niles Paul who just got KO'd.... meanwhile Donnell has 3 TDs and it's only the 2nd quarter...

Since they ruled it a catch it should no longer be considered a defenseless player.

 

[jblaze2004]

dude took 2 steps n ducked his head

I agree with you.

That's a bad penalty. In fact, I don't know how you can overturn the incompletion and keep the penalty when the requirements for a catch would seemingly remove the player from a defenseless position.

That's the old, "it looked bad so it's a flag".

 

[Hoofbite]

The other part is that penalties are not subject to review so I guess they have to keep the flag even though it shouldn't have been.

you are right upon replay but thats going to called every time these days.

 

[The Quest for Six]

don't see anyone getting near Manning at all



EDIT...spoke too soon!

 

[Nirvana]

Sorry Eli, but a good QB doesn't take a sack there and be backed up out of FG range.

SO MUCH FOR THAT THEORY,....

 

[reddyuta]

lol Skins.

I can't stand to see this guy do well.

 

[Big D]

Kirk Cousins is the truth!

Welp, there goes that theory.

 

[Hoofbite]

Little shocked. The Giants have been atrocious on offense and the Skins haven't been this bad. Think they've actually been good and have gotten a lot of sacks.

I went with Cousins tonight in FF. Dalton, along with pretty much the rest of my roster is on a bye. Was hoping for a better performance thus far but being in catchup mode isn't so bad.

No by definition of the rule that isn't a defenseless receiver.

All the skins sacks (10) came against Jacksonville. At least until tonight.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

This is pretty impressive by the Giants. On prior Thursday nights the visiting team has gotten throttled. For NY to do this travelling on a short week is something.

Maybe that long game vs the Eagles took something extra out of the Skins, who knows.

 

[StylisticS]

I did not see this coming especially seeing how the skins played last week.
