And in matching GOOD news... Kubiak has turned down head coaching interviews to STAY with the Ravens as OC. Booyah!

And Torry Smith says he wants to stay a Raven... but this one is gonna be a tough negotiation on his part. Ozzie isn't going to overpay for a WR that as much as we want him to be a #1... still shows to play as a #2 most of the time. Ravens have a few expensive contracts to rework or release next year.. including our punter (he didn't play up to his potential this year and will likely be playing for his job next year and facing release (3M cap impact).

And as much as we are hurting in DBs... Webb is gonna have to come to terms.. he's slated for 12M next year but hasn't been playing like that even tho he finally got a little better near years end. Injury or not.. 12M is too rich for a single DB that isn't shutdown type.

and the biggest one is our big NT Ngata who is slated to make 16M next year... the young guys are playing huge here and we can save 8M by cutting him.. so if he doesn't renegotiate he might be cut for money alone.

Interesting fact from Twitter: @FieldYates

Worth noting: only 2 NFL teams have had the same head coach, offensive & defensive coordinator since 2012: the Packers and Patriots.

They're also the only two teams who have made the playoffs each of the last 6 seasons.

I will put this out there right away: I am a Packers fan, so I might be biased, but I agree with the play being overturned. Sam Shields was able to knock the ball loose after Bryant caught the ball first, then Bryant regained control on the way down. Then Bryant lost control of the ball when it hit the ground. He did not maintain possession throughout the process, therefore it's an incomplete pass. The question of whether that should be a rule is up for debate, but following the rule book, it is not a completion. Just ask Calvin Johnson.

But overall this was a poorly officiated game. Both teams had bad calls against them, along with a lot of no-calls on holds. There were at least 4 holds from the Cowboys O-line that were obvious and weren't called. I didn't watch Green Bay's O-line enough to notice any because I was watching Rodgers more than anything. But overall bad officiating, but they got it right in the end. Even Mike Pereira said so.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. If he still didn't maintain complete control through the catch, I think it would have been overturned regardless. That's the rule regardless of whether it's in the endzone or not.

It has to be a catch before there is any consideration for goal line or not

Since the problem was failing to complete the catch... His location on the field was moot

He could have been in the middle of the endzone and the call would have been the same. You must maintain procession through hitting the ground if you go up for a catch

The call was correct as far as the rules are concerned. If anything, it's the rule that's harsh. Personally, I like the rule. I liked it before it helped my team win last weekend.
