Worst calls are made all the time by the regular officials. callandor1000 Send a noteboard - 26/09/2012 01:23:57 AM
The fact is that NFL fans bitch and moan all the time about the normal referees. I'll point out the Super Bowl that the Steelers didn't actually win against Seattle. As far as I'm concerned, this is repayment to Seattle of that most grossly refereed football game. But, seriously, we complain all day long every year about all the calls the regular officials make. The only reason people are up in arms are because this is replacement officials. Honestly, I think as a whole they've done a pretty good job. On par with the regular officials. The NFL fanbase is just a whiny bunch of Pre-Menstrual Teenage Girls.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.

My mind isn't always in the gutter, it just has VIP access

/NFL: now that replacement refs have cost the packers a win, can we please get the real ones back? *NM* moondog - 25/09/2012 05:14:58 AM 688 Views
I was gonna keep it to one thread, but hell, I'll join yours. Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:24:26 AM 758 Views
Link? Clip? Joel - 25/09/2012 05:27:07 AM 717 Views
Let's just say that Gruden used the word "Jobbed" in the live telecast. *NM* Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:35:08 AM 442 Views
Here's a link. Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:36:56 AM 811 Views
Yes and no; that is the link I referenced in my post. Joel - 25/09/2012 05:47:07 AM 633 Views

Thanks; that looks like a textbook case of simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver: TD. Joel - 25/09/2012 07:29:28 AM 718 Views
pete carroll is a cheating douchebag, you cannot take his word for what happened moondog - 25/09/2012 10:59:33 AM 984 Views
I did not; I watched the clip: Simultaneous possession, which goes to the receiver. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:30:18 AM 1324 Views
watch a better replay if you can moondog - 26/09/2012 02:38:17 AM 780 Views
Have now; still not convinced. Joel - 26/09/2012 04:01:23 AM 827 Views
that's ok. you're still wrong moondog - 26/09/2012 04:12:56 AM 840 Views
I know you are but what am I? *MN* Joel - 26/09/2012 04:48:47 AM 780 Views
also, the pass interference on tate that wasn't called is clear at 0:56 in that clip moondog - 25/09/2012 11:27:36 AM 790 Views
Tate was looking for the ball, and raised his hands to catch it, not push off Sam Shields. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:33:46 AM 750 Views
watch a better replay and get back to me on this one. moondog - 26/09/2012 02:36:43 AM 791 Views
Where did the NFL head office acknowledge that? Joel - 26/09/2012 03:52:36 AM 882 Views
in their official response to the whole incident....? moondog - 26/09/2012 04:14:52 AM 1017 Views
Fair enough then; the NFLs official position is that offensive PI should have been called. Joel - 26/09/2012 04:45:58 AM 795 Views
Yeah, if one hand counts as possession Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:15:37 PM 801 Views
new rule: catch the guy who caught the ball -- score a TD *NM* moondog - 26/09/2012 12:10:05 AM 398 Views
Left hand between Jennings' arms and on the ball; right was outside Jennings' arm and on the ball. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:38:28 AM 738 Views
How have you not seen this play? Are you in a cave? *NM* Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 03:57:55 PM 383 Views
No, I am in Norway, where NFL coverage is rather limited. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:40:07 AM 931 Views
Wait, you're not in Houston? *NM* Dark Knight - 26/09/2012 01:42:45 AM 400 Views
Not since the Texas Sesquicentennial, no. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:45:29 AM 697 Views
While you can hardly blame the replacement refs because they are basically trainees... Mats Gambling Buddy - 25/09/2012 06:05:22 AM 901 Views
Now I really want to see this play. Joel - 25/09/2012 06:27:42 AM 896 Views
Re: Now I really want to see this play. Mats Gambling Buddy - 25/09/2012 02:48:56 PM 804 Views
I have still only seen the YouTube clip, but it looked like they both had both hands on the ball. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:58:27 AM 733 Views
There are good views on nfl.com. Will link. callandor1000 - 26/09/2012 02:16:51 AM 877 Views
Thanks; I still do not see much to change my mind. Joel - 26/09/2012 02:32:43 AM 804 Views
The last call was a joke. Orange - 25/09/2012 06:52:59 AM 753 Views
You might appreciate learning that the Lingerie Football League fired some of these refs Larry - 25/09/2012 07:19:37 AM 812 Views
Tie goes to the receiver - the rule for decades. The Packers benefitted from worse calls last year Cannoli - 25/09/2012 11:31:47 AM 838 Views
you probably think greedo shot first too..... moondog - 25/09/2012 01:49:03 PM 783 Views
Possession doesn't mean squat until you land. Tate had it by then Cannoli - 25/09/2012 03:13:29 PM 789 Views
he had nothing until they landed and he tried to pull it away. everyone but you agrees on this *NM* moondog - 25/09/2012 03:25:43 PM 373 Views
Not so; Cannoli and I agree on pretty much every point involved in this play. Joel - 26/09/2012 02:17:01 AM 760 Views
They can't reverse that call. Aemon - 25/09/2012 04:43:28 PM 863 Views
the only possible way was to rule it incomplete moondog - 25/09/2012 10:42:25 PM 841 Views
It was very obviously caught; you can't rule that incomplete. Aemon - 25/09/2012 11:06:17 PM 756 Views
my philosophy is "interception = incomplete" but i think that's only for stats purposes moondog - 26/09/2012 12:32:43 AM 732 Views
Congrats Cannoli, you are the only person (thing?) in the country who thinks it's a TD *NM* Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 03:53:18 PM 508 Views
I'm not even the only person in this thread, moron. *NM* Cannoli - 25/09/2012 04:07:48 PM 416 Views
Joel hasn't even seen the play, douchebag *NM* Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 04:12:35 PM 381 Views
Just so you can get this information without namecalling ... Nate - 25/09/2012 04:18:41 PM 755 Views
No I mean he hasn't seen the replay over and over on ESPN *NM* Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 04:21:46 PM 388 Views
I have seen enough of it, and while I did not write Cannolis response, I easily could have. Joel - 26/09/2012 02:06:45 AM 779 Views
Interesting. What is the rule with arguing refs? Dannymac - 25/09/2012 05:18:35 PM 700 Views
That response was disturbingly like my thoughts on the play. Joel - 26/09/2012 01:49:37 AM 796 Views
As a Seahawks fan. Stephen - 25/09/2012 02:10:58 PM 749 Views
No. Not with that attitude. *NM* Palatine - 25/09/2012 04:03:32 PM 364 Views
*throws public tantrum* *NM* moondog - 25/09/2012 10:39:22 PM 353 Views
Slightly (very) loopy yet entertaining piece on why Ayn Rand is to blame for all of this. Stephen - 25/09/2012 05:38:12 PM 716 Views
She hates revenue sharing, salary caps & the draft, too, but the Pack would be screwed without each. Joel - 26/09/2012 03:34:00 AM 737 Views
Here's the proof Cannoli is refusing to see Dark Knight - 25/09/2012 05:54:07 PM 845 Views
Clearer shot, but stills do not allow us to see where Tates hands were at all times. Joel - 26/09/2012 02:10:25 AM 649 Views
you can't claim "good ol' strip" *AND* simultaneous catch -- which is it? moondog - 26/09/2012 02:35:41 AM 1082 Views
I do not claim both: I claim simultaneous catch but IF not, then strip. Joel - 26/09/2012 03:51:47 AM 1081 Views
you sure you saw the right replay? moondog - 26/09/2012 04:21:57 AM 759 Views
Think so, yeah. Joel - 26/09/2012 04:58:15 AM 882 Views
from another angle -- pun intended moondog - 26/09/2012 04:01:54 PM 754 Views
There are two separate issues: 1) Was it a simultaneous catch; 2) IF not, was it a strip? Joel - 27/09/2012 08:54:52 AM 933 Views
your opinion is against pretty much everyone in the world, so..... *shrug* moondog - 27/09/2012 03:55:33 PM 982 Views
Thanks; I did not expect you to give in so easily. Joel - 27/09/2012 10:14:30 PM 797 Views
did you even read that article??? moondog - 28/09/2012 12:35:39 AM 800 Views
"his control wasn’t established again...." Joel - 28/09/2012 01:08:03 AM 1104 Views
wow, what a thorough analysis you sent me either way, you're still wrong moondog - 28/09/2012 02:05:24 AM 884 Views
That is not an argument. Joel - 28/09/2012 02:26:58 AM 697 Views
Worst calls are made all the time by the regular officials. callandor1000 - 26/09/2012 01:23:57 AM 753 Views
yes, but not usually more than one per game, certainly not several in a single weekend.... *NM* moondog - 26/09/2012 02:39:56 AM 388 Views
