The timing doesn’t matter for turnovers. Coaches are no longer allowed to challenge turnovers and touchdowns because all turnovers and touchdowns are automatically reviewed. Coaches can, however, spend a timeout to give the auto-review guys plenty of time to check all the angles.

That’s a fair complaint, but they did technically review it. Just not as closely as they could have, it sounds like.

Clearly I didn’t mean those. :rolleyes:

I meant the 70ish yard pass play on the first TD drive where there is practically no defender on the television screen when the receiver catches the ball.  
I meant the 60ish yard pass play on the second TD drive where the receiver is somehow 5 yards behind the three 49ers defenders on that side of the field.

I realize now that my second example is maybe the first one you stated. But, still, the receiver was somehow over top of the double coverage. I’m simply asking is that great offensive scheme or poor defense? Or both?

Chargers PSL sales are below expectations and the NFL is worried about them in LA. Maybe they can move back to San Diego. LA was OK without a team for a long while so whey do then suddenly need 2?
