So Detroit is facing 4 and 2, ball is incomplete. WR stands up, gestures at the officials and yells and all of a sudden two flags come flying in well after play.
WR must have reminded the officials of the ‘script’.

Play at the goal line as time ran out. Ball fell incomplete but two flags fell.
Everyone officials included are arguing about the call.
Game over? Untimed down due to game can’t end on a defensive penalty??

Announcement, TD?, but OPI, final ruling is ‘Ball Game’, Stealers win.
Crowd is incensed, people still arguing. The Douche credits Adam Theilen with ‘making plays’. We call eliminate Detroit next week I think.

Crazy/stupid catch in Detroit by Pittsburgh WR Gainwell.
He was interfered with, fell to the ground, ball hit his arm as his arm was on ground, bounced up, he grabbed it, got up, ran for a 45 yard TD and didn’t get touched after the ‘reception’.
10-10 at the half.

Yep. Refs called it incomplete.
Yet sports media would say we need full time refs or something.

Great play by Gainwell.

It looked like they stood around and discussed it for awhile before signaling TD.
I didn’t have the sound on but it didn’t go to review.

jj most likely has a broken metacarpal, the long bone in the hand between the wrist and knuckle, which would mean the end of his season, not exactly ideal for your franchise QB. Get ready for more Brosmer.

Ehh.
Give Brosmer a 2 game audition, if he sucks we are sitting a little better in the draft, if he doesn’t we will know we have a decent QB2 option and maybe a QB1 if JJ (QB) keeps being McFragile.

Time to find another QB.
Free agent,draft or both.

QBs today didn’t suck, JJ made one mistake holding the ball on the screen pass strip sack but otherwise good and Brosmer played like a capable backup in not playing like a total tool as he did in the Seattle game. Jones was great today.

At least the defense is getting a good rest for what is hopefully the Giants last drive.

At least Brosmer knows that you are supposed to throw the ball right away on a screen
