Still had no explanation on the picked up flag

To be completely honest there are about two maybe three defenses in the league that can get consistent pressure with 4 players in the 4-3. I just think McD was a damn good defensive mind after working with Rivera early on. Washington might develop too but he's raw and it shows. 

Here’s both a hot take and a harsh truth: we havent had a truly elite defense since Greg Hardy was here, and for the reason you mentioned above, the last time we were consistently able to get pressure with 4 guys was when CJ and Hardy were lined up across from each other.

CJ was never the same after the leg whip against NE and we never were able to replace Hardy. Ealy was a bust, Jared Allen was a stopgap and at this point in his career Pep can’t be counted on to be a 3 down player. Just shows you what a clueless moron Gettleman was because he had no intention of ever paying Hardy even before the domestic violence debacle.

The decision to let the call stand on the throw to Thomas was about ref agreement not to overrule a call on the field unless there is clear evidence. If it had been ruled a catch on the field it wouldn't have been overruled either. It could have gone either way.. unfortunately it went against us. But it wasn't BS it was how it is going to go this year  based on what they are emphasizing.

The part that is BS about it was that it was ruled a catch by the official that was closest to the play until a different ref runs in and overrides his decision to make it incomplete. The out come of the review was that it was too close to call so why did and what did that second ref see that would amount to enough evidence to override the other ref before the review?

Absolutely right, like how the hell did Dave not draft us a ten sack rookie and keep Hardy’s nose clean. I mean he was the general manager. These fall squarely under general problems.

It was timing in the calls

that Thomas catch was huge....we were driving and it cost us a time out and a challenge...if we keep the ball and score, we may have been able to put them away

No doubt, and as I mentioned, whatever that call was that kept their drive alive right before the OBJ to Barkley TD essentially changed the entire game.  But, again, then they gave us the penalty for a PF on Funchess, which was a joke (but, i'll take it), and not reviewing CMC's 3rd down run right before the FG...  so, as bad as they were, i still feel they kind of gifted us the game when it counted.
