All three of our TOs

Just wanted to point out that ALL THREE of our turnovers are debatable in my opinion. 

 

1- It looks like KB could have quite possibly had a knee and/or a shoulder down before the ball came out, but I wouldn't argue the call.  Too hard to tell. 

 

2- Cam's arm looked to be going forward on his fumble, I would argue that one was an incomplete pass.  He didn't lose control of the ball until his arm was going forward. 

 

3- The interception moved around very clearly in my opinion and touched the ground.  Pereira even mentioned that the laces spun and said something about whether he came up with control of the ball having bearing on if it was a catch, and Briggs definitely did not.  It popped back up and he snagged it in the air as he was coming up.  I disagree with that being called an INT. 

 

Looks like things are just working against us again this game.

The first one is the only one I can question. Cam's arm was not going forward.

 

I mean, it was going out to the side for the most part, but it looked to me like the angle was slightly forward.  It was definitely a throwing motion, it's not like the ball was knocked out of his hands as he was cocking back or just holding the ball out.  His throwing motion was altered by the hit, but it was still a throwing motion before and at the point of loss of control.

I will say on #2, the ball went backwards, because of that, it doesn't matter if his arm was going forward because it was a backwards pass.

And that's why you're watching the game on TV vs reffing it.

Did the ball go backwards?  I'll have to rewatch when I get a chance.  I don't remember the ball leaving his hand going backwards.

#2 was CLEARLY an incomplete pass. Cam's arm was hit in the middle near his elbow, he still had full control of the ball, forearm and hand moves forward and he throws the ball into the ground. No way that's a fumble.

 

#1 I think KB's knee was definitely down, and possible his forearm/elbow also. It's hard to see and thus overturn but it should have probably been ruled down by contact on the field to begin with.

 

#3 could have easily been overturned as well, ball clearly moving around and hit the ground.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
