Was the playcalling suspect?

When was sodium hydroxide used in the play call ?

Packers D was certainly nasty as sulfuric acid jumping on the fumbles.
Not gonna lye, lots of plays got titrated, absolutely neutralized.

I hardly remember any Chem 101, but I do recall an acid-base titration lab where we were tasked with determining if Heinz vinegar was 5% acidic as claimed. Nobody knew how to pronounce phenolphthalein. Spoiler: the Heinz was indeed 5% on the nose.

Anyway, the Carroll-speak people were reaching for, I believe, is "Toxic Differential". Here's one discussion of it from 2012 or so.

“Toxic Differential”: A Key To The Rams’ Playoff Aspirations?

Statistics only tell a part of any story, especially as they relate to the NFL. But when a respected, Super Bowl-winning head coach develops a formula to gauge a team’s success, it’s worth paying attention to. The Rams have invested huge resources in acquiring just the type of players that can...

MikeMac didn't seem to get too excited about it, almost like he was good with it to see how players respond to adversity.

I think it should be...but with it being preseason...he may have not cared of felt it was worth it...but poor Bobo!

It's not allowed, and it should have been automatically reviewed. It definitely looked to me like a non-fumble and I looked at it in slow-mo multiple times. That said the Packers player must have seen something for him to go in and knock the ball out, even with Bobo on his back. My view is throw the flag later, (after the announcement), but still before another snap so you can talk to the officials about it.
