it is no coincidence that we are getting more games won on the last drive now, than I can ever remember.

it used to be somewhat rare, but now, with the chuck and duck 2 minute drill, you can count on the refs flagging defense for at least a couple penalties to put you into at least field goal range.

The sheer amount of bullshit that has cost teams games this season is staggering.

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
