    Walker does get a handful of jersey with his left hand after the guy grabs his face mask...but that happens every play in the trenches

    How can they see a hold and miss the obvious face mask on that play? It must be selective referreal vision. What a crock!

    Sucks that it was called back because of a hold, but I think the refs just didn't call it on the right guy.

    Walker wasn't holding, but #64 was. They probably just got the number wrong, which they do all the time.

    Still didn't effect the play and technically you could call holding on every single play in the NFL because SOMEBODY is always going to be holding.

    This is where a more vocal owner could come into play. Can't do anything about this game, but this exact play should be used during the offseason owners meetings to address what can and cannot be replayed.

    I absolutely think all penalties should be reviewable and even if there was a non-call, I think that should be challengeable too. Both teams still only get the 3/4 challenges per game, but lets expand that to hold refs accountable for their BS

    OR / AND

    Get rid of auto replay entirely. The league should not be allowed to call the replay. That is what is allowing the general officiating quality to drop. They've now been taught to just rely on replay to save them and then they miss the little things that can't be fixed by replay.

    Refs screwed this game up entirely. Not saying win/loss and they screw up many other games too but zero accountability and there is also an under-use of the technology available.

    Unfortunately, AAS has no pull among the league (from what I can tell) and the Titans don't have nearly a large enough fan base to make this kind of play nationally recognized which is also why ESPN/NFL Network/FOX Sports, etc. won't call out the league (I mean really call out, not Sharpe and dips**t on daytime talk shows) to get them to at least address a fix.

    I been hoping they would allow challenging penalties, but it would have to be limited to 1 or 2 a game.

    Will fantasy nerd Matthew Berry be right?

    22. Since Week 12 of last season, the Houston Texans are allowing the eighth-most yards per carry (4.31) and the third-most rushing yards per game (135.6).

    23. Last week, only 11 teams allowed more rushing yards than the Texans.

    24. Among the 44 running backs with at least 250 carries since 2015, only Mark Ingram II is averaging more yards per carry than ... Dion Lewis (4.82).

    25. In his past five games, Derrick Henry is averaging 2.31 yards per carry.

    25a. Last week, Lewis played 47 snaps.

    25b. Henry played 20.

    26. Since Week 14 of last season, 97 players have at least one carry that gained 15-plus yards.

    26a. Henry is not one of them.

    27. Since the start of 2017, Henry has two massive runs of 70-plus yards.

    27a. Remove those two outlier carries and Henry is averaging 3.39 yards per carry.

    28. Last week, Henry accounted for less than 35 percent of the Titans' running back touches.

    28a. ... and was in on less than 30 percent of snaps.

    Todd Gurley would have been one of the worst fantasy buys at the beginning of 17 if you predominantly used data from a tard coaching staff .

    Also, Henry had 18 fantasy points against Jacksonville, would have had 25 against KC, and without the phantom holding call vs. Miami, he would have had 15 points on 12 touches. That's 3 out of the 4 games where he actually received starting or committee reps. But he's risky to start, because his usage will largely depend on how the game is going. Not that different from most RBs, but Lewis has the opportunity to rack up major points in those situations

    Im with this... plus MM8 getting hurt, top 3 OLBs hurt, KB almost had a couple picks... We just got VERY un-lucky and were close to a blowout.

    I think Henry gets too much hate on this forum. I like him & still have faith in him.

    I think Henry will still have a good year, but I think I'm gonna bench him this week for Alfred Morris. Undecided, but prefer that matchup.
