Whose fault?

[Talking Poker]

I don't know the rule, but I do know that that pay was a mess. The PAts had like 3 straight 4th downs (would have been game over on the first two), and then another one right before the TD...

Amazing that they pulled off that win (that they didn't deserve).

So much for the talk of running up the score though, eh?

[drewjax]

Didnt deserve it huh? mmmmmmmmmmk

just another jealous hater in the house.........

12-0 bitches

For all you who are whining today, one word..........

SCOREBOARD

[Talking Poker]

I'm not a hater at all. I think the Patriots are an amzing machine, and I enjoy watching them.

But last night, Baltimore played better and deserved to win. And if you watched the game and weren't so blinded by your bandwagonness (you're from Detroit, right?), you'd agree.

At least Kurn lives in New England.

I dunno...I mean...

Nobody told that defensive coordinator to call a timeout. The refs didn't tell the linebackers to break containment and allow Brady to run for 12 yards. And, it's a common rule that you aren't allowed to wrap your left hand around a tight end after 5 yards.

If you want to argue about the TD pass being "controlled". Then, you look at the rule that there has to be sufficient evidence to over turn the call on the field...which there wasn't.

If had been called an incomplete pass, I don't think there was enough to call it a TD from the replays.

I'd like to blame Bohler for throwing a stupid interception on the drive that would've put a dagger in the perfect season.

Why not blame Ed Reed for fumbling the ball after he picked it off? If he would've just held on to the ball instead of trying to run it back for a TD, they would've probably won the game. The Ravens had plenty of opportunities to win the game, they choked. I don't see anything wrong with the calls the refs made.

Kurn:

This appeared in Peter King's MMQB Tuesday Edition:

"New England ball, fourth-and-1, Baltimore 30, 1:48 left, Baltimore up 24-20. At the last second before the snap, Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ryan calls timeout. The play went on, with Baltimore stuffing Tom Brady for a loss and, theoretically, that should have been New England's last gasp. One problem. Only the head coach is supposed to be able to call time on the sidelines. But in this case, the league has interpreted the rule on a last-millisecond timeout call that the side official cannot be responsible for seeing whether it's the head coach or another coach who calls time. So it's technically legal for Ryan to have called the timeout, and the league's point is the head coach is responsible for controlling his bench. In this case, Brian Billick has to be responsible for his sideline, and when Ryan calls time, the burden is on Billick to accept the call because it happened on the Baltimore sideline."

That should clear it up, at least about the timeout issue. The catch? Well, I thought it was pretty clear that he was in. But I guess that's a matter of opinion.

Yet somehow managed to occupy a 4 hour block of time on the TV schedule and NEVER finish anywhere near on time - thus always screwing up my PVR recordings of Amazing Race and Shark.

[Gordogg]

Oh and that was definitely a catch. It was close, but he did establish possession inbounds with both hands and not until he was out of bounds did he attempt to shift it to his other hand.
