Well at least we know the train horn and over elongated 3rd down call has been reduced. So puts to rest who was responsible for that and it wasn’t the high end donors complaining.

They can do whatever the hell they want. The down and distance doesn’t matter. They’re pushing us around physically. They’re faster.

Screw the tush pushes. Give it to Raymond.

Also what a dumb play by the WR on 3rd down. Had the first down and gave it up. Awful coaching.
