Garafolo reporting on the other site the online lists are wrong, and it is pick 92. So, even my attempt at very minor optimism for Seattle fans was wrong!

Pretty hung up on the missed hold on the 4th down in the first half, and then the late hit on Saquon on 3rd down, where Pereira was describing how it could be overturned if contact occurred before the foot was down while we were being shown this (was inside 2 mins, would’ve been booth review)

Baldwin’s bot had it a toss up. Had it as a “medium” go on the 4th and 2.
Important for broadcasters to communicate this stuff well.

After showing they didn't trust Cousins, the Falcons move forward with Penix

This conversation is so fascinating because of how it’s all about different degrees of probability. I had someone say “9 times out of 10” for the conversion then saw Baldwin’s bot had it at 74% success and honestly that’s the whole thing — the difference between 74%, 90%, 100%.

One of my big questions about the whole Bears thing is what the hell happened the play before? Tackles basically allow the ends around the edge, but the center releases upfield immediately. What's he doing? Clear ineligible penalty if ball is thrown.
Did the line think this was a QB draw?

Prime Vision is so cool. Mahomes throws this with such anticipation, basically right at a defender he knows is going to clear out.

Looks like it's somewhere in between our interpretations lol, in that wikipedia has it as "a creative work" specifically and I've broadened that, but your explanation I think is probably a bit too specific?

I noticed this too and had it in my notes for Signals. Meanwhile, on X, they're cranking it up a notch:

Two images that explain why Audric Estime’s Week 10 was so interesting.
1) Despite struggles, Javonte Williams had played a narrow range of raw snaps every week, between 35-42. Until Week 10.
2) Estime didn’t touch the ball until late-1Q but looked great. By crucial final drive, he got 6 carries.
