Agreed. 

 

Didn't like the penalty on loffler. Thought it was a BS call

3 Stars:

Nichols - Best game as a Bomber. Looked like an elite QB out there today.

Smith - Best game as a Bomber. Sweet redemption after a so so year.

Randle - Pick and some great coverage.

HH:

Harris - Was great when we used him. Should have used him more often.

BTW: The Loffler penalty will be called every time it happens. It isn't the 70's any more. 

[Dragon37]

Nichols, Smith, Randle/Leggett/Loffler (can't decide between those guys)

HH to Cummings and Harris.

[Fatty Liver]

O-Line, I believe they kept Nichols clean again.

[Dragon37]

Yeah the line has improved dramatically this year. They gave Matt all the time in the world today.

was in good timing, didnt lead with the head hit with the shoulder. Thats not a penalty and hasnt been on dressler 3-4 times this year alone. 

[Noeller]

Great team, great effort. Jist fell a hair short. Congrats to everyone. Let's get management extended and get back to work building an OUTSTANDING 2017 team...

I'm aware. I just think it's bs. Loffler supposed to stop on a dime I suppose.

3 reasons I didn't like the call:

1) Murray Clarke made it.  He's terrible.

2) The ball was still live at the time of the hit.  It was a ball that was in the air and in the end zone.  I've seen too many circus catches over the years to think someone as talented as Arceneaux can't lunge for that ball and catch it with his fingertips while keeping a toe inbounds.

3) Loffler got there less than a second after the ball went off Manny's fingertips.  If the outcome is changed - Arceneaux catches the ball rather than tips it - and Loffler arrives at that same point in time and delivers the same hit (clean but incredibly vicious), I am certain no flag gets thrown, and Loffler is getting praised for dislodging the ball and preventing a touchdown.  And if that's the case, then Loffler is really getting penalized for not being able to recognize the incompletion AND change direction in under a full second.  And, as I suggested above, the certainty of it being an incompletion wasn't guaranteed until Loffler made that hit.

But oh well.  I hope Arceneaux is alright and able to play next week.  He seems like one of those good guys who just has the misfortune of not wearing blue and gold.

I was really hoping that Loffler was going to finish Manny off Undertaker style
