The penalties are way out of line for the Dungy coached Colts. I'm not really sure why that is. The killer is the timing of many of them. They always seem to come on third downs when the D is about to get off the field.

With the Rams sending their non-called penalty tape to the league, do you think it will have an impact on how the game is called next week?

Probably not.... The NFL knows that penalties that could be called are not called in every game. What's far more likely to influence penalties is Polian's instructions to the officials.

Not at all. Every game a few calls are missed. And there is nothing that was like the disaster in Denver-Chargers.

This was just a publicity stunt so the Rams fans would get pissed off at the "cheating patriots" instead of their own inept coaching.

I'd say the Pats are playing to the whistle. It fits the personality of the coach. I expect them to play to the whistle again this week.

I actually chuckled out loud at that one.

You're probably right. If it were to have an impact it would probably more likely be in the Rams next game. It just reminded me of back in the day NBA coaches would b!tch about the refs in between playoff games and the next game the calls would go the other way.

I was just wondering what you guys thought.

so...I take it the Colts are inviting Tim Donaghy to guest ref Sunday's game?

You have to credit the opposing team for also drawing those penalties some of the time. If a team is jumpy, it's going to hurt them.
