I still don't understand how they don't even review that play..on the replay it's a clear fumble by Watson, recovered by Leonard of the Colts, and then Watson trying to dig it out from his grasp before the pile ensued.

Even if dogpile rules win out and whoever comes out of that mess with the ball wins, how do you not at least even look at it..I don't get it.

I was surprised they didn't look at it too. It looked difficult to tell who came up with the ball though, so I think overturning the call would have been pretty unlikely.

There's little doubt that NFL gameday central saw the fumble on replay and made a conscious decision not to review and go with the call on the field in a similar manner to how they have treated pass interference this season. I do not understand why they did not have the on field official take a look but there seems to be some weird dynamic this season where the officials are somewhat at odds with the NFL over having their calls overturned.

They made some dumb BS call in last week's Eagles/Pats game about a fumble not being challengable because the officials had ruled on the field that forward progress had been stopped. It made zero sense but then again not making sense seems to be par for the course with the NFL these days.

It's just another in a long line of instances stretching back to last season that make you wonder why you bother watching this sport. There's about a 1 in 4 chance that the game you watch is going to be clearly and unequivocally determined by the referees rather than the players.

Obviously in a case like this, who knows if the Colts go from their own 35 down the field and tie it, and if they do, who knows who wins in overtime. But that call took the game away from the players, and into the hands of the referees. That makes the whole thing a waste of time, in my view, because we have no idea who should have won.

Just in case there's maybe a single poster here left that thinks AB is a good guy that's just misunderstood, watch the video;

Who acts this way in front of a doctor? What's sad is a team is going to sign him in the offseason.

Well the Eagles offence will be Ertz, Sanders, and Goedert as Howard, Jeffrey, and Agholor are all out. But no Clowney for the Seahawks either.

I would play ties on the Hawks/Eagles and Niners/Packers myself. Even the Jets and Raiders as a tie would not be a terrible play with the Raiders looking at next weeks game.

Godwin and Evans are having a borderline historic season as a WR duo and the Bucs might not win five games. And it's not like Jameis has to be that much better, just two turnovers a game instead of four.

That was a pretty brutal headshot in the NO/CAR game. He should get suspended for that.

He was going for the ball punchout, but the optics certainly aren't great there. And it would've been 4th & a million, instead auto first down and they got 6 on it as the half expired.

Jared Cook started off slow this season, but is really starting to break out in the Saints offence the past few games.

Looks like the Raiders overlooked the Jets and it cost them a pretty severe ass kicking.

If the Bengals aren’t careful here they might #### up and win a game.

Hoping that Johnny is watching the Eagles game and feeling that frustration...their offence has done practically nothing the last two weeks. And that's how we fans feel about the flames

What's with kickers this season?
Seems like they're missing so many relatively short distance attempts
