fucking stupid ass game.

The refs are ruining football

Responses:

While I like some of the rule changes made in recent years, ie. all scoring plays reviewed, 2 feet + possession for a catch, but... - Shaun Dec 9, 07:47 13
- In the Colts game yesterday, a Bengal tried to run the ball into the endzone. He failed as he was hit and clearly on the ground. - Spawn Dec 9, 07:51 4
  - also, at some point, we are going to start getting people screaming collusion. - groiny Dec 9, 07:53 1
    - That PI call was atrocious. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:54
  - well, lucky for you that it was not a one touchdown game. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:51 1
    - At that point, it was. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 07:53
- it is no coincidence that we are getting more games won on the last drive now, than I can ever remember. - groiny Dec 9, 07:49 7
  - The Lions got hosed yesterday during one drive. The roughing the passer call that Fairley got was a complete effing joke. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:54 6
    - well, I can't fault them for that, because the Lions built that rep for themselves. - groiny Dec 9, 07:55 5
      - Are we expecting too much from guys with 6-figure part-time jobs? -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:57 4
        
        But my example is ridiculous. The call on the field was right, there was no angle that seriously contradicted it, and the booth took their time ... - Spawn Dec 9, 08:00
        
        I expect them to let the players play, and don't be so damn flag happy. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:58 2
        
        It's pretty amazing that some games can have 1-2 penalties, yet others have high teens/low 20s penalties. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:59 1
        
        the amount of hand fighting by WR and CB, and you can be sure that defense gets flagged 80% of the time - groiny Dec 9, 08:01

- you apparently like 3 lead changes in 2 minutes. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:45 13
  - you say that like it's a bad thing? -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 07:48 6
    - it kind of it. It is like baseball and the home run binge. - groiny Dec 9, 07:50 5
      - not exactly a perfect comparison, but I get your point. - znufrii Dec 9, 07:56 4
        
        it might sell, but is it good for the game? - groiny Dec 9, 07:57 3
        
        your "joy to watch" is another's "boring as sh!t" -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 08:02 2
        
        curious. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 08:02 1
        
        Not really. znu falls into the, "Oh, shiny!" camp. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 08:04

    - CP is something special. That reverse that was called back was nice, too. - Inigo Dec 9, 07:52 3

        Oh, right. Forgot that you had three first rounders. How is Floyd so far? -- nm - Inigo Dec 9, 08:04 1
