What were they apologizing for in each game? -- nm - amoxy Sep 11, 11:12 16
- See below. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:14
- general sucktitude. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 11:12 14
  - Well, then why nothing to Arizona and San Fran? - amoxy Sep 11, 11:13 13
    - because they won. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 11:15 11
      - so why bring more attention it. -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:16 9
        
        I don't follow. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 11:18 8
        
        no need to apologise cause they won so why apologise and just open that kettle of fish to go along with the other bad calls -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:19 7
        
        I'm still honestly not sure which side you're on. - Reagen Sep 11, 11:23 5
        
        no side. just a reasoning as to why they wouldn't. Why bring it backup when it didn't swing the outcome - Beaker Sep 11, 11:28 2
        
        This situation has nothing to do with replacement refs. It's been modus operandi in the league for as long as I can remember. - David Sep 11, 11:30 1
        
        ahh gotcha -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:31
        
        I think he's just trying to understand. A lot of people don't realize Tuesdays are league apologies day. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:25 1
        
        yeah there's no intended snark in my message. I just am not clear. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 11:26
        
        Because the NFL (and all college football conferences) always send apologies when the losing team gets jobbed. - David Sep 11, 11:21
      - Yup. -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:16
    - no one likes Arizona and San Fran. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 11:13
what good does that do, really? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 11, 11:11 9
- It doesn't. St. Louis for no reason had the clock stopped with 2:37 to go. - David Sep 11, 11:13 8
  - Ahh, I hadn't heard about the St Louis clock stoppage and didn't see the end of the Raiders game - amoxy Sep 11, 11:30
  - You're entitled toa play after the game ends if the other team can run out the clock effectively? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 11, 11:19 3
    - On a punt, the receiving team has to be the first one to touch the ball. - David Sep 11, 11:23 2
      - that was the other bizarre thing. - Reagen Sep 11, 11:25 1
        
        RIGHT?! -- nm - David Sep 11, 11:26
  - The rule ignorance is baffling to me. You would think the NFL would have reps at each game in communication with the refs just for those types of - oblique Sep 11, 11:15 2
    - They clearly did which is why the games were so much longer last weekend. - David Sep 11, 11:19
    - this -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:16
