Re: All things NFL Offseason 2019.
 

Mentioned on Colin Cowherd the other day that allowing coaches to challenge pass interference calls or non calls will create an issue with Hail Mary plays.
Typically the referees rarely call P.I. on them unless somebody gets tackled while the ball is in the air. What are they going to do now?

It’s a booth review in the last two minutes of a half

Only scoring plays and turn overs, right? If the hail Mary is incomplete how would they look at a non call?

Re: All things NFL Offseason 2019.
 

Hail Marys aren’t going to be called any different, I don’t know why some think this is an issue

Given the NFL's catch/no catch issues of the last few years, and their inability to not screw up even with replay available, I think it's easy to understand how somebody might expect them to screw this up too.

I hope they continue to let that be a basic free for all except in the most egregious cases, but it won't shock me if the first hail mary that is successful isn't booth reviewed as offensive pass interference.

When there becomes numerous examples of pass interference on tape complete with the results of reviews how are they going to justify having the same action result in a different decision just due to the fact the play was a last second Hail Mary and not a go route that was thrown into heavy coverage? We shall see.

I understand the referees swallowing their whistle on Hail Marys. The same as NBA ref do on inbound plays in the paint during the final seconds of a tight game. I venture if the NBA started reviewing foul calls there would be issues with the way those situations are called.

Nobody wants reviews of Hail Marys, it would be totally ridiculous

That's terrible news about Ryp. Someone needs to get him some help.

RIP to the Hefty Lefty. I'll always remember him for the fantastic nicknames, Pillsbury Throwboy was another great one.

My condolences to his family and friends though, 38 is way too young.

Depressing shit. I just turned 36. Can't imagine being dead in less than 3 years from now.

Easier said than done, but we all need to live and love well.

Tough news on Albert Haynesworth. Hard to look at that picture of him with what looks like tubes holding him together.

This drives me insane. Insane actually isn't even the word. Irrationally angry maybe?

Josh Norman runs with the bulls in Pamplona today. Video shows him leaping over the bull, more than once. One of our highest paid players at one of the most important positions on the field, knowingly taking part in an activity where the risk of injury is clear and evident.

This harkens to when Casey Rabach sliced his leg open during an accident sustained while riding his ATV. He was a center taking up only a couple million of cap space, and it still drove me nuts.

But this enrages me. The stupidity of this is astounding. His contract isn't even guaranteed this year. He's lucky he's physically fine. What a grade A dumbass.
