They had it. That last series was K M running a Chinese fire drill. The pick on the previous? Growing pains.

If you watch on that INT, Murray had Sherfield, it was actually a good pass but he went down from what looked like a trip. Sherfield has a step on his man also

Shouldn't that be considerer a PI? They booth reviewed the other trip and called it a PI. Same goes for that INT.

That’s what it looked like to me too. The defender caused Sherfield to go down on what was a perfect pass. I thought for sure we would challenge that.

That last play not being challenged by the NFL is a complete joke after giving the Bucs that gift PI review on what was much less egregious contact.

90% screens and slants won't cut it. I know Kirk and Isabella are great in space but Kirk scored on three bombs to the end zone. The uptempo stuff works like one drive a game and otherwise results in 3 & outs and a tired defense.

Williams didn’t catch a ball placed in his hands, David Johnson runs like a Pop Warner player and Patrick Peterson has lost his mind. Not concerned about the officiating

Never said it was a good call, but Evans didn't fall down because of tangled feet, he fell down because the defender fell down and the rolled over into his legs.

It was a PI ... on replay you see that it was tengled up by the Defender while he was ahead of the defender.

Not called as often, but yeah, it was an PI. Like the one that wasn't called for Evans, even there you could say that Evans pushed the Defender down and falling the defender hit him.

Tripping over feet is generally not considered PI.

Disagree on being a good pass but you may be right about the trip.

Just a killer loss. Way too sloppy on the pick but Johnson, Wiiliams and Peterson are the goats in this one.

Kliff has to challenge that for them to review PI.

How do they pick and choose when to booth review PI? How do you not booth review the final hail mary with all that contact? That is a huge officiating issue

Probably a mistake on everyone's part by running out on the field instead of waiting for a review. Looking at replays I saw I didn't think it was PI so neither here nor there. Only thing I saw was defender had is left arm on the back of receiver but was not grabbing or holding him back, just good technique to play the ball and be in position for a tackle if it was caught. Maybe there was another angle that showed clear PI but incidental contact is not PI and that's all I saw on the angles i got to see.

The defender ran through the receiver's back a second before the ball got there...

The refs marched the Bucs down the field on BS PI calls for the go ahead score where Mike Evans shoved the defenders to the ground on both plays & our guys grabbed or hit into him while falling to the ground.

For them not to review the last play made it pretty clear who they wanted to win.

This one sucked, no doubt. And I don't care about draft position enough to "not mind" losing a game like this.

To me, I'd rather be 7-8-1 and picking 15th, than 5-10-1, and picking 10th.

7-8-1 would tell me we're really ready to challenge for a playoff spot the next year. I trade that in a heartbeat for five spots of draft position.
