  • I think we can be pissed off about some of the ticky-tack calls as well, but those happen all the time so the real concern to me are these things that seem definitively to be mistakes:

    • An official coming from halfway across the field to overrule a sideline judge’s call on Tank Dell’s completion being in bounds. Picture evidence shows now that catch was made in bounds, and there’s no reason the initial call on the field that the sideline judge made shouldn’t have been what was being reviewed.

    • The officials moving the ball back a yard and a half from its official spot for the final play of the game, directly causing Amendola’s kick to miss

    • The missed egregious hold by Pitre before the Stingley interception that officials were clearly in place to see

    • The missed False Start on the final Jags drive

    Outside of that, I think there’s elements of the other plays that the NFL can back the officials on.

    • For the PI calls, there is still technically contact, and on the end zone shot the ball is uncatchable but not egregiously so

    • For the huge Tank completion called back due to illegal shift, if you watch the All 22, Robert Woods is rocking back and forth a tiny bit getting set when Tank starts his motion. Flag gets thrown after the play is snapped as that’s when they know it was the last motion to occur. Incredibly picky with how light Woods movement is, but technically justifiable.















  • There’s definitely a chance Tank continues to drive his involvement up and is a valuable fantasy asset. There’s a clear chemistry between Stroud and Tank that has shown up quite a bit this year and will continue to.

    But the reality is that the receiving corps has varied greatly game to game as far as target distribution. Woods is returning which will shake things up, and it’s just truly hard to guarantee performance week to week, especially against a team like the Bengals.

    IMO Evans for Tank is not a deal I would take. Evans has been great, and you don’t have any need to take a risk/reward prospect with the group you have.
