Dan thinks that someday we’re going to look back on this era and wonder why teams didn’t just throw deep more often hoping to simply draw a PI call. Afterall, it’s the reason the Broncos were able to get into field goal range in the first place. He’s fine with the concept of the penalty, but what he is not OK with is the result being the ball placed at the spot of the penalty. He actually says college does it well compared to the NFL. Stugotz says his most frustrating is pass interference. Dan says people vastly underestimate how hard it is to get players on and off the field in a timely simply because professional football teams do it so well. On a similar note, Dan points out how hard it would be for the DLB crew to execute ANYTHING in a timely fashion, nevermind what football players are processing on the field. Meanwhile, going back to the delay of game discussion, Billy is somewhat flabbergasted Greg went in that direction given how often over the years he was felled by the hard network out, thereby missing the clock alerting him to how much time was left in a segment. The illegal man downfield mention even had Chris doing the Leo DiCaprio pointing meme.

That and the illegal man downfield are INFURIATING. Jeremy says there are two games at play here - ineptitude (like too many men or delay of game) or the most frustrating call a REFEREE makes (aka a questionable roughing the passer penalty). But with the delay of game, he finds himself watching the clock tick down while yelling “HIKE IT! HIKE IT!” and getting frustrated that the center doesn’t just look up and hike the damn ball. What are the odds that a father and son would be on the same wavelength?Īt least with defensive pass interference, Chris says, there’s a lot of movement going on, he can explain someone bumping into someone. And while Chris says that after last night we may have to add too many men on the field, his dad really stole his thunder (no, not Thursday Thunder, that’s later in the week) by taking the delay of game.

Just use a time out! He says it just implies confusion and ineptitude. He says there’s never a good excuse for it.

Meanwhile, Greg Cote is looking squarely in the direction of the delay of game penalty. Broncos /g46YjSrjTe- The Athletic November 14, 2023īefore Chris Cote can reveal his choice, Dan shares that he thinks the worst is when you’ve stopped a good offense on third down only to see the laundry on the turf because a defender touched someone’s jersey. Lutz retries the field goal and makes it. The Broncos set up for the game-winning field goal in the final seconds, Will Lutz misses the kick, but the Bills had too many men on the field. A wild sequence to end Monday Night Football:
