There should be someone in the booth watching these replays and communicating with him on these matters. If that person thought the catch looked clean I'm not sure he should stay in that role. I'm not certain that call should've been overturned, but I am certain we should've been rushing to get that snap off before the replay buzzer came down. It was clearly a play worthy of reviewing, definitely not "clean".

But it could have been a case where someone in the booth said “yeah he caught it there isn’t enough to overturn”. You never know if he just mis spoke.

DJ sure as hell thought he had it.

Meh, defense was ass under Rivera too. I don’t believe that at all. Offense was good because no offseason under Cam. Rivera then hired Mike Shula two years later and poo went terrible on offense real quick. 

Have you forgotten the “Rivera can’t win close games” mantra? It’s a lot like what we are seeing now.

Yeah, I can't get along with it. That team had a better defense top to bottom. They had prime Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy was coming up, prime Chris Gamble, James Anderson which is better or on par with Shaq Thompson at this point, and Dan Connor. Which is better than Whitehead at the end of the day. 

The offense had Jordan Gross still, a Rookie Cam Newton, Steve Smith, Jeremy Shockey, Prime Greg Olsen,  prime Ryan Kalil, 28 year old DeAngelo Williams too. 

It would be a different story, if Rhule had THAT to work with. Instead, he has on defense Rookie after Rookie after Rookie after Rookie. Shaq Thompson, Rasul Douglas, Tre Boston, and Tahir Whitehead. At one point yesterday, we had 3 Rookies on the D-Line playing, and 6 total on defense. 

I won't get into the fact that Christian McCaffrey has been out, and Robbie Anderson, and DJ Moore don't hold a candle to Steve Smith. Or the fact that there was a prime Greg Olsen on that team. That team should've won more games, but Rivera was such an ass coach, especially on defense. They didn't do poo. Give Rhule some more talent, a better QB, because a Rookie Cam Newton is better than that poo we pounce on the field every Sunday. Mr. Check down when 30 seconds to go and down 3.

Especially when most analyst are impressed with what Rhule's done so far.

DJ needs to catch that ball. 

Argument could be had that Teddy needs to get more under these balls so our WR don’t have to continue to come back and win contested catches. Tired of these wounded ducks. Hit him in stride it’s a TD. Happens every week and happened twice yesterday.

Either way, irrelevant to the point. Had he caught it we weren’t in position to spike the ball because our coach didn’t realize the clock does not stop on first down.

What? The ball at the end of the first half was a dot. Jesus man. At some point put your emotions aside and try watching with your eyes.

That first ball to DJ where he burnt Davis hung the hell up and that should’ve been 6. No doubt about it. But at the end of the half, that was a good throw. 

And yes they were in position to spike the ball with 8 seconds left had he caught it.

    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
