    and wtf is our defense doing this drive?  The vikings arent even making tough plays to move down the field .....it looked like a god damn practice scrimmage drive.  Unacceptable.

    Browns penalty to give Vikings 1st and goal at the one... easy TD

    Vikings go for 2... and call a timeout before the conversion attempt?

    And they get it. Seven point lead for Minnesota.

    An uncatchable ball and minimal contact is pass  interference, but a guy literally blocking a man and stopping his route isn't. Cool.

    bad PI call, but good no call on ours.  The ball wasnt quite in the air yet and was within 5 yards from LOS and there was no holding/grabbing

    If it's before the throw that's one thing. But to call PI they have to consider if the pass was uncatchable, that's their job. I know you're probably not disagreeing but the inconsistentcy has been awful.

    So impeding a guys route by literally running into him with arms extended isn't a penalty? Guess I've been learning football different than you.

    I'm sure that the BROWNS are thinking about getting a kicker.....I hope. (the nfl minimum wage)

    Yrs. 2017 2018 2019
    0 $465,000 $480,000 $495,000
    1 $540,000 $555,000 $570,000
    2 $615,000 $630,000 $645,000
    3 $690,000 $705,000 $720,000
    4-6 $775,000 $790,000 $805,000
    7-9 $900,000 $915,000 $930,000
    10+ $1,000,000 $1,015,000 $1,030,000

    VETERAN MINIMUM BENEFITS

    When qualified, a player with four (4) or more years of NFL experience can earn his total minimum salary, but have a cap figure that reflects two years of experience – or in 2017, $615,000. The contract must be for only one year, and must not contain combined bonus money (signing, roster, workout) that exceeds $80,000.

    For instance, let’s pretend Ryan Fitzpatrick re-signs with the Buffalo Bills in 2017 on a 1 year, minimum salary contract. With 10+ years of experience, he’ll be slotted for a $1,000,000 base salary. With four or more years of experience (11), and a 1 year contract, Fitzpatrick qualifies for the cap hit benefit. His 2017 cap figure with the Bills would be $615,000

    Had he received a bonus (signing, roster, workout) up to the maximum $80,000, he would have received a total $1.08M contract, with a $1M base salary, an $80,000 signing bonus, and a cap figure of $695,0000 (615+80).

    With plenty of veterans being released, or not signed back thus far in 2017, the use of the Minimum Salary Benefit Rule becomes useful both for older players looking for jobs, and teams looking to minimize their cap dollars.

    if it's short of 5 yards from the LOS and it's not a hold/grab/tug whatever and the ball isn't in the air, no it's not a penalty.  You can make a contact with a reciever like that.  The rules are very clear on that.

    Unless the ball is thrown to said receiver and the contact impedes his ability to catch the ball. The rules are even more clear on that.
