I just saw the replay of the Pickens catch and it is almost hard to believe that he didn’t get that left foot down.

It’s like he wasn’t smart enough to realize he had had to.

He has at least one of those each game. It's as if he forgets.

He’s not the brightest crayon in the box. He’s legitimately a fucking moron who’s super talented.

I don’t mean the win loss record, but rather the entertainment value when I say watching the Pittsburgh Steelers is how other people must feel watching the Chicago Bears.

Every Steelers game seems to be incredibly boring.

That's what I feel. Like, common sense says that's a catch.

The catch rule itself just seems kinda dumb. Like, you can get just one knee in, or your butt, or elbow... it's a catch. But what Pickens just did isn't.

If a receiver catches a ball and immediately reaches over the goal line, gets hit and loses the ball.., it's a TD because the ball crossed the goal line before he lost the ball. But if the same thing happened for a first down, it would be no catch because the receiver didn't have the ball long enough (didn't make a football move).

If a receiver's toe brushes even a blade of grass in bounds as his chest faces the chalk, it's in, even though the rest of the foot hits the chalk as he falls out of bounds. But then there was a game recently (can't remember which), the receiver had his back to the chalk, had one foot firmly in bounds, then got his toes on the other foot firmly in bounds, but as he was falling back, his heel hit the chalk, and it was deemed out of bounds.

I mean, he was pushed hard out of bounds. The momentum didn’t let his foot come down. He had to hop on one foot and land on that same foot due to the push. He didn’t due it purposely, he was forced to.

He was pushed no question.

But it seems like one would have to try to keep the foot from touching.

“Hot lava!”

He got one hell of a long leash.
He was once considered the best GM in the NFL by other executives. Look where it got them.

Look, I feel as bad for long-suffering Jets fans as the next guy.

But I am positively LOVING Aaron Rodgers crumbling before my eyes and I'm not even a little bit sorry for feeling this way.

I am loving it too, but I wish it would not happen on my TV every week. Have they been in prime time every single week or does it just feel like it?

7-0 Texans at half, Jets 2nd guessing Rodgers aquisition perhaps
Is it too late to flex them out of their prime time game against the colts?
