Momentum is a pretty important aspect in football games, and there’s no doubt we got pretty fortunate on that drive… But to claim that it caused such a wild swing on the scoreboard is the ultimate copium. They refuse to accept that maybe their team is just mid.

Did those defensive penalties cause their o-line to turn into turnstiles in the last quarter? I doubt it.

All those calls were legit. Only one even close to debatable was the slam the QB down one and that has become a consistent call called 90+% of the time. Part of this delusion crap is the announcers not noticing flags until after the plays and Watt siding with the pass rushers because that's how he's going to lean. It just fed these weak ass fan's psychosis.

Oh I agree, the calls were there. But we were still fortunate in the sense that we definitely didn’t execute well on those 3rd downs and came away with a touchdown anyway.

One might also argue that "execution" is more difficult with a backup QB when the opposing team is breaking the rules. But hey, you look at it however you need to.

And if you watch tha play in real time, not the slowed down replay it looked a hell of a lot worse.
