Thursday Night Game Thread - Week 4 | Eagles v. Packers | 9/26/2019

Speaking of Dalvin Cook....I feel vindicated for banging the drum for him over Leonard Fournette back in 2017.

I thought Cook's game was a better fit for NFL offenses and that Fournette was nothing more than the Dollar Tree version of Earl Campbell.

Now that he's healthy Cook has looked fantastic.

How the hell is that not pi?

From the day they announced this new PI review rule change I hated it because I knew it would bog down the game over subjective calls. And sure enough it seems like every damn game we have to sit through dumb ass delays for a PI review.

I'm starting to hear more and more people who were actually in favor of it originally, start to complain about it as well. They're acknowledging it was a mistake. I wonder if the NFL will eventually reverse track in a year or two.

I think the system is fine but when it's blatantly obvious like that they need to overturn the no-call. That was terrible. But that's just human error. Pretty bad when you have 2 cracks at it and still fuck it up.

I think Fletcher Cox is right: "They ain't never been punched in the mouth"

The f'n NFL with their goddamn rules complexity and just straight screwing it up.

It's becoming apparent that there are two definitions of PI, just like there used to be two definitions of a 'catch' (with the second being going to the ground).

1. There's the regular pass interference that's called live while play is happening.
2. To overturn a 'missed' pass interference via replay, the PI has to be more egregious, like, a mauling.

Was going to say myself, I'm sorry the Saints got screwed but this PI review business is a disaster.

Anyway, I'm really impressed with Sanders. He might be a problem.

From what we're seeing tonight it looks like GB's defense is overrated, and they have no real run game.

The ref should just explain that "he ran through the interference". Similar to the excuse they used for not calling a holding call that would have benefited the Cowboys several years ago.

Does anyone know if they have changed a PI call yet in any game?

They picked up a flag earlier in this game based on a challenge.

That was weird as hell though, that wasn't a pi challenge it was a scoring play review. I want to know if anyone has successfully challenged a pi/non-pi call and won

No, it was a PI challenge by the Eagles.

 

[lostxn]

This is an entertaining game.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

No, it was a PI challenge by the Eagles.

Yeah it's not a scoring review since the team didn't score as a result of the call.

 

[jsmith6919]

No, it was a PI challenge by the Eagles.

Pretty sure it wasn't, the booth even went to Pereira and he remarked he was glad they overturned it in the scoring review

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Why did the Eagles go for 2 again?

 

[jsmith6919]

No, it was a PI challenge by the Eagles.

I'll grab the game recording off a torrent tomorrow and double check but coulda sworn it was a booth review which is why I said it was weird

Well shit, you are right. I rewatched.
