Refs can just straight up award a TD to a team because of penalties?

Wow, in all my years of watching the game, I've never heard that one before.  At the same time, not sure what else you want the defense to do there when the Eagles use up the full play clock with the hard count to try and draw them offsides.

It's a rule for 'palpably unfair act'. Washington was not trying to do anything unfair, but refs can't necessarily judge intent. The argument has been made that the 'tush push' is already palpably unfair, so it is what it is.

I think the point is a defense could keep encroaching on the goal line to just indefinitely prevent a score. But this was, imo, different. There's just no way to stop that play at the 1 unless the O makes a mistake

I really hope the nfl can find a way to make penalties called incorrectly or not called when should be called less a part of the game.  Seems most nfl games now are decided by penalties makes it hard to watch and enjoy

Also tush push play is one of the most boring play ever

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
