NFL Playoffs.....

[churchmouse]

Officiating has been pretty bad all year.

The worst.

 

[Cygnus]

Wow! What a game. The long suffering fans of New England may be able to finally enjoy victory again of they can beat the Rams.



Offciating was bad. Fairly even, but bad. Not like the Saints game....OK Gonnna go howl at the Wolf blood moon thing

 

[GREEN607]

Sigh. Well, my bet is still good. But it feels wrong. Oh, so wrong.

I DID NOT want the Patsies to win, But I'm happy for you.

Me; I lost everything on those two games. I mean EVERYTHING. And it was really, really cold walking home naked!

 

[Clay Pigeon]

They should have put her in the game on the defensive line.

The older she gets the more she looks like a man.

It is hard to say which way it actually leaned. The obvious stuff was missed/ignored and they made up for that with some really stupid ****. The officials are becoming to big a part of the games outcome. Maybe the hairsplitting rules are just too tough to actually call but man, the Saints were literally robbed. If that is the new way of looking at this no one will ever catch another pass.

Was it just me or did the Chiefs come off flat. That is not the same team that took us on or were we just that bad.

 

[nipprdog]

Yep.

About Tuesday they will release a statement that they missed it.

Man this is just so bad on so many levels. So much at stake.

 

[nipprdog]

 

[churchmouse]

As much as we can only hope this sets up some changes it will only get worse. This may look bad but it has drama and controversy. How does that effect the big scheme of things.

 

[halfmileharry]

Well, this ain't the first time the refs determined the outcome of a season. I'm doubting it's gonna be the last either.
I've heard a lot of coaches say that their team needed to play better, make more plays, and not leave the outcome of the game in the hands of the refs.

Truth here.

 

[Hoosier Carry]

Now there will be a fight for Pass interference to be challengeable And the game will keep getting longer. The refs are calling stuff that you can hardly see in slow motion but are missing calls that are wide open. This year in particular.

 

[HoughMade]

Yeah....I don't expect perspective from the home-town paper, but geez.

Refs blow calls. If we wanted to go back and analyze every play, we'd see a lot of bad calls going both ways. This one was bad, but NO put themselves in the situation of needing the late TD to put the game out of reach. What's more, there is no way to tell whether that play would have been outcome determinative or not. We could talk about the inability to turn the first 2 possessions into touchdowns and then letting the Rams get back into the game....just as the Eagles did for NO the week before.

"Tainted Superbowl "- c'mon, put your big boy pants on.

Oh, and "cheater" is what losers say to make themselves feel superior in the face of failure.

This. As a Rams fan, I will say that the no-call was bad. However, there were a LOT of missed calls against the Saints and the Rams. There will be arguing forever about this call, but you can't let us come back from a 13-0 deficit. Especially when there were missed PIs, holds, and delay of games that should have given us yards, first downs when needed, and pushed the Saints fuether from the first down marker.

Either way, we are in and that'a what matters.

Yesterday's officiating, both games, reminded me of why I stopped watching the NFL long before politics reared it's ugly head. It also made me realize going back to watching was a mistake. When will somebody start the fantasy officials league? Get rid of the striped shirts, video review every play, correct every call/no call, make the games last 4-5 hours. That would certainly increase beer sales. No Stupor Bowl for this former fan!

Go make the fantasy officials league...let us know when your done.

There has always and will always be blown calls by ref's. Its an unfortunate part of the game. I gripe about it too, but it is what it is.

Yeah, the roughing was BS, again nothing for either team rising to the level the of the Saints and Rams. I thought KC did come out flat. Bill running the Bo Schembechler offense the first 2 or 3 drives really threw them off and ate clock. Remember Brady was intercepted in the end zone trying to make it 21-0. Honestly at half-time I was warning folks to chill recalling the Colts comeback a dozen years ago... After the Pats pick6 for 21-0 had a friend say "This us a joke. Let's do....." and I was like "IDK, it's Peyton Manning. "

That was as blatant as it gets. NONE of the officials saw it? Can they solve it by letting the replay official call it????

So here we are.......This pleases me. Should be a good game!

That would be you're, not your. I apologize for the lack of purple in the question about the fantasy officials league.

It'll be a good game, but Brady ain't walking with another ring.

 

[HoughMade]

It'll be a good game, but Brady ain't walking with another ring.

The Rams are quite beatable, as are the Patriots, but the Rams have weaknesses that I'm sure Belichick has been studying for some time.

The Brady haters should want him to win. That's the only way you're getting him out of the league any time soon.
