I think the reason they don't want to allow that is it would kind of open up a can of worms where you can start challenging for non-calls. Starts with stuff like that, then it moves on to challenging PI no-calls, then youve got people challenging for holding calls soon after.no reason to not be allowed to challenge
or the fact that espn/fox can see the correct call within .5 seconds...just have backup ref in a booth and have him mic'd in with the head ref ("he pushed off, violation of the rule, 15 yard penalty".) its not that hard.
The Vikings situation is kind of reminding me of when the Ravens won the SB but dumped Dilfer and paid Elvis Grbac all that money and he shit the bed and retired. Cousins is a good QB, but his whole time in Washington I never got the sense that he was a great QB. He doesn't elevate a team the way elite QBs (and guys making the kind of money he's making) need to. I think you can win with him, if you surround him with the right team/coaches and get on a run, he's not a net negative like a guy like Bortles, but I don't think he's $84 million better. If a guy at QB is taking up that much of your cap, he has to be able to make up for deficiencies elsewhere, and Cousins ain't that kind of dude.
like a field goal that got blocked illegally...I think the reason they don't want to allow that is it would kind of open up a can of worms where you can start challenging for non-calls. Starts with stuff like that, then it moves on to challenging PI no-calls, then youve got people challenging for holding calls soon after.
I think it'd be reasonable to allow it strictly for scoring plays.
WaPo said:WASHINGTON — This is what it's come to for the Washington Redskins: Their fourth quarterback of a once-promising, now-lost season, Josh Johnson, will be making his first NFL start since 2011 and spent time playing the "Madden NFL" video game to try to pick up something about his new teammates.
"I learned their names, first and foremost," Johnson said with a smile.
He will be playing the most important position on the field next Sunday when the Redskins, who have gone from 6-3 and first place in the NFC East to 6-7 thanks to a four-game losing streak, play at the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-9), who might be the most disappointing team in the entire league.
WaPo said:Johnson was signed last Wednesday; a week before facing the Giants, he was playing in a charity basketball event at home in California.
"It was a good test for my cardio," Johnson said. "I actually got my body ready."
At this point I almost hope they win out with him. Nobody in the NFC deserves the 6 seed.
Yeah but he didn't kneel during the national anthem
