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

      Ideas on how to find a pass rush

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By Icege · Posted

      His route running was not very good in this game, especially when compared to the previous week. There were at least three playactions ran where I couldn't tell if he was going to be pass blocking or running a route with how little effort he ran with. They also dinged him for the fumble on the play where XL lateraled to him. 29.8 fumble grade, 6.1 pass block grade, and 40.0 receiving grade really hurt his overall score. Personally, I'd have put him in the mid-to-high 70s on the day. I don't think his receiving grade should've been 40.0 but can see an argument for in the 50s. Maybe his pass blocking grade could've also been in the teens since he did win on the final rep handily.   Just re-watched the receiving TD for Rico and it was a hideous route. DaRon Bland left his zone to cover over top of TMac though which left the area wide open for Rico to get to. Very surprised that they gave Bland a 66.5 coverage grade as I recall him getting picked on a couple of times (and giving up the 4th down throw to Renfrow by giving an incredibly soft cushion).
