I guess Bruce and Carson are pretty upset over that botched call yesterday... my advice to them would be to stand in line.http://www.espn.com/blog/arizona-cardinals/post/_/id/23054/carson-palmer-felt-fumble-was-an-obvious-pass

what has Bruce's excuse for both his lines being utterly dominated the majority of the game.  I would think a reasonable person would assume that had much more to do with the outcome of the game than a iffy call.

I mean, let's be real that was a bad call. The ball spiraled as it came out, didn't show an open hand, and David Johnson was in the area. It was clearly an incomplete pass. The ref said he didn't review it because it came down from the league office that it was a fumble.

I thought it was a pass when the play happened. I was at the game so we did not see the replay until after the extra point. I kept watching and waiting for the ref to blow the whistle to review it but then when they kicked the extra point I was shocked.

When they did show the replay my only thought of why ruled a fumble it appeared that Star grabbed Palmer's arm so while the intent may be a pass it was inconclusive that maybe the official wasn't sure if it was a pass or Star caused the fumble and went with play called on field. That's the only possible explanation I could think of.

Referee performance seems to really be heading downhill in a hurry. If I was the NFL, I would look to find a way to be proactive instead of reactive. But that would require the NFL admitting that their refs were wrong, and we all know that will happen...

Best way to solve this issue is to have full time, instead of part time, refs.  They mess up too much and they're gone if they that is their primary job.

they called the same thing on the texans and brock last week. Maybe its just a rule change we don't know about yet?

It's a corrected re-interpretation of a rule to accommodate Rivera's & other coaches' complaint last off season about QB's "incomplete pass" to receivers blocking & not even looking for it to avoid sacks & an intentional grounding penalty. Call it the 'Russell Wilson phenomena'.

Quote

In the NFL Rule Book, intentional grounding occurs when "a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion."Sep 28, 2014

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
