Procedure call on Smith's 1st down catch

Anybody catch when the ref throws the flag for illegal procedure on the pass to Smith with the apparent 1st down catch? The ball was in the air, half way to Smith. The ref turns, looks at Smith, sees him wide a$$ open and throws the flag just before the ball arrives. I've gone back and watched it 5 times and in slow motion. Total rip job. Also, have yet to see the illegal procedure that they called. If you're DVRing the game, take a look and let me know if I'm crazy.

I'm so sick of this conspiracy crap. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. WE lost this game because WE played like crap. The whole lot of you probably believe the government was behing 9/11 and that aliens are real.

I'm glad you set us straight because as we all know the refs NEVER make bad calls...

how dare we even suggest that refs could... no excuse me... would ever do such a thing

There is a huge possibility that aliens are real. Even moreso than the refs cheating us.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
