    no one ever wants to get fired but I imagine at least partially Jay Gruden is ok with being out of that mess in Washington.  almost sad to see what Synder has done to that once proud franchise and fan base.

    That call on Hilton was mind blowing, and to uphold it on review even moreso.

    I’m a Chiefs fan and even I was saying that call was horrible.  What is blatantly obvious enough for a PI to be overturned in instant replay?

    A third party would be needed to review these types of calls based on they TY challenge results.  What is a ref supposed to do when a head coach essentially makes a challenge that they are complete idiots on live TV?   Of course they are going to come back and state that “after review, we determined we are in fact not idiots, and the call stands” ...

    This is the reversal that blows my mind.  Packers and Vikings, which took a touchdown off of the board for Minnesota.  This somehow is reversed.

    IMO, replay in all sports needs to be peeled back quite a bit.  In football, I would support:  Out of bounds, touchdown, if a passed ball touches the ground, and fumbles.  NHL if it crosses the goal line.  MLB: none.  NBA:  none

    every time they expand these things there are all sorts of unintended consequences and it turns into a disaster, moreso than the perceived 'problem' they have over-reacted to.  It degrades the experience of watching a game, referees are becoming lax over time with this safety net, and it has become confusing (watching a game I dont even know what is 'reviewable' anymore, nor do I know what you need to challenge and how many you have, etc.)  Take a play at the plate in baseball.  Home team scores a tying run in a very close play.  People dont even cheer as much or organically as they would because everyone needs to wait/dread a 'challenge', and then wait on video review.  After that, it is either overturned in an awful, inorganic experience, or upheld, and you get a convoluted 'cheer' from the home crowd.  

    If we can enjoy sports without replay, I would gladly take the tradeoff of my favorite team(s) falling victim to a blown call.  IMO, its part of the physics of sports.

    word on the streets is the guy is concussed and will be OK because they are 4-1.  One person claiming to know says he may have fractured his orbital.  Regardless, it seems like we have avoided a broken neck situation

    The joke about "he's fine they're 4-1" IS hilarious, but all joking aside... that was scary. It was also unnerving how slow people were to react. At least call a f'ing ambulance.

    Khalil Mack suddenly didn't want to talk to reporters yesterday.  Thought he’d been looking forward to that game.....

    I just thought of the perfect way to fix the NFL ref and rules debacle that is playing out in full effect right now ...

    Immediately bring in NCAA refs and use NCAA rules.  Now there are many parts of the college game I don't like, but love or hate them, at least the umpires seem to understand them.  I really didn't think it could get any worse than last year's QB touch penalty where linebackers were injuring themselves trying to avoid not breathing or even glancing at the QB but the NFL somehow did it.

    These smash mouth Niners are fun to watch. Hopefully Tom Rathman 2.0 is okay
