Thanks DOD.....I love the summary! I don't know if you guys noticed, but Capers at left guard was horrible......totally whiffed on the first few plays, and got knocked on his ass as well. And not much better at right tackle. Goosen on the other hand was actually pretty good.

I'm just gonna comment on the Willis PI call...

 

It was close but on replay it did look like he had his hand on Kohlerts back b4 the ball arrived. They have called that somewhat consistently this year too so... it was very close but i think the right call was indeed made there. Close but.. His hand was on Kohlerts back b4 the ball arrived.

The defender can put his arm on the back of the receiver but they can't use that arm to turn or twist the body of the receiver. I don't believe that was a penalty but maybe the league was giving us one  :huh:  :huh:  :huh:

Folks in Edmonton certainly think so.
