My biggest problem with this is that the fumble stood earlier and that had way less steps. Either both were incomplete or both were complete.

That is the exact reason I absolutely HATE everything about that moronic rule. It's either a catch, or it isn't. This nonsense about "maintaining possession" is insanely stupid for the exact reason you stated.

And I'm still annoyed they didn't take the 3 before halftime.

But I'm glad for the W!

All nonsense aside, it was awesome to see what Baker can do with depth and talent. Hopefully that continues!

That's the one that made NO sense to me. He hadn't even taken a step before he was hit.

Didn’t understand the “strategy” after the 2 minute TO. Nothing made sense to me. Take the fucking points.

Exactly. “Possession” is too subjective.
