New England is a double digit favorite over division rival Jets, despite being upset last week. Vikings are big favorites over the Cardinals who have looked pretty strong this year.

Swell.

Stupid SanFran ... how difficult is it to pick up .5 points? It's not even a whole point! IDIOTS!

I think that's a bad rule. If he's forced out, he should be able to come back in, period. I get that he could be pushed out there because Freeman had left the pocket, that's fine, but the way the rule is, the DB can make him ineligible and theoretically could have gone to cover someone else. I could have sworn the rule used to be that as long as the WR got back in right away (and before the ball arrived), it was legal.

That seems like a bad rule if #19 was pushed out.. it has me wondering, why the refs don't flag the Saints defender. A bit confusing.

Okay, edit again. So Tampa's qb was out of the pocket making the push out okay?? Alright.

Yeah, the deal is that once the QB is out of the pocket, a WR could be blocking, so the DB is allowed to chuck or shove or whatever (not hold though) until the ball goes into the air, at which point pass interference would take over.

I caught Pereira on the post game and he explained it that way.
