Lake has a kid in the league and he didn't end up a Steeler?

Carnell must have shit in Tomlin's Cheerio's or something. He coached for Tomlin for better part of a decade and Tomlin didn't add him on board with his nepotism.

Definitely odd to me.
He played at ucla and is in either his 1st or 2nd year

I was very surprised the Steelers didn’t bring him in


Of course - my memory can’t recall if that was this past off season or the year prior lol

Did that play just happen or am I on drugs.

Both can be true.

What the hell happened on that play, not even trying to get the first. Weird.

Craziest play ever. Figured it was dead

The receiver pushed off there, no call. If the defender held onto the receiver when being pushed they would’ve called a penalty. Shit is so inconsistent.

Yeah I’m with Collinsworth. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that before.

100% Opi

And the nfl shill said- no that’s not pass interference

The league is so compromised

If there were any conspiracy theorist in me, I’d ask how the receiver was so wide open when the ball was in the air for an hour and a half.

Not OPI, both were handfighting and he released. It is OPI if the receiver initiates contact to create space or to stop a DB catch.

I feel fairly comfortable saying that Williams had no idea where or to who he was throwing that ball. Desperation grab even lower odds than a hail marry that connected, but which people will blow him for.

if its OPI, then what the defender prior to release was doing was DPI

There have been a non calls in this game. The big passing play to get the Rams started on their last TD drive was an obvious OPI pick. The Rams receiver picked off 2 bears defenders.

It just feels like the refs are letting them play unless it has to be called. I think that's better than not calling things and then throwing flags late in the game and in OT.
