What would throwing a flag do at that point? Make them run laps before heading into the locker room?

The game was over.
Yep. The game was over so there's absolutely nothing the refs could do about it.

In fact, some guy from the NFL main office/competition committee brought up that exact point in an interview during preseason when taunting was on everyone's radar.

Man, I don't think I've celebrated like I did on that Diggs pick 6 since Roy Williams did the same to Mcnabb on Monday night in 2005.

I can't even call it a roar or a hollar -- more like a pie squealing uncontrollably.

:lol
What about the next play?

That Roy INT and pick 6 vs the Eagles had me hype as well. I still remember him stiff arming McNabb to the ground on his way to the endzone. I think McNabb faked an injury on that play as well.

After every time the refs fucked us on 1st down, I'd like to see our results/success rate on 1st & 10+.

I feel like we mostly got it to 2nd <5

This guy's body control is unbelievable. To have the reaction time to catch a tipped ball on a quick slant pass, to being able to jump over the fallen WR and not get his feet tangled up. All in one fluid motion. Awesome.
Yup.... exactly what I thought as I rewatched a that.

He hasn't even fully gathered the ball and he's still able to hop over the receiver and head up the field.

What an athlete.

Yeah, that's what infuriated me even more.

It's a very close play that is potentially a score.

How the hell do you not call for a review?
Even if they review they would have claimed "not enough evidence to overturn.

That should have easily been ruled a TD on the field. Then go ahead and review and see if there is something showing him down before he crossed the goal line. By calling him short they literally where just pulling shit out of their ass. They had zero evidence he was short and plenty of evidence he was in.

Actually, it was a Bradie James block/shove into the ground.

It was glorious.

I just don't understand what the thinking is behind that play and the same one vs the Eagles.

His entire torso is across the goalline and how do you suppose that he's holding on to the ball?

It's not in his back pocket or squeezed between his ankles.

Just inexcusable and unfathomable to get screwed on that twice in 4 weeks.

I will say, so you don’t all claim that I’m negative all the time, that could really be the kind of adversity-overcoming win that kickstarts the team into an even higher gear. We will see.

I was thinking the same thing. Character win.
