That call was terrible. It was a direct result of the Belicheck challange. He shouldn't have tried to show up the refs.

I love coach B but I think he may have done a little over coaching in this game. Trust your team on 4th down.

I hate it when refs decide a game. This was a great game and that one moment ruined it. That wasn't even close to unnecessary roughness.

I think also last week The Rams stuck a little cheap shot in there with there compalint.

Typical. Peyton can't beat us fairly. Now I'll give it to Eli, he did.

I agree that it wasn't a 15 yard-worthy penalty. Geez, let them play! It wasn't a cheap shot, either. Just playing the game.

I disagree. Thomas handed the Indy the game.

The only thing I'll say about the ref's was that in the first half it looked like a Patriot on the LT side maybe (Warren) was dragged down from behind 3-4 times as he broke through the Colts line and no flag for holding. To me it happens once maybe it wasn't seen, but 3-4 times is a different story. And I have to say I thought that Faulk was in on the 2 point conversion. I think the refs got that wrong.

Randy in his post-game said he was pretty unhappy with the officiating. I was a little surprised and wondered if he was just talking about the Thomas call.

Even the AP reports say faulk probably made it in the 2pt conversion.

PATSYLICIOUS

The refs made it pretty clear early on that they were going to swallow the whistles. I saw our pass rushers streaking toward Manning with either a hand or piece of jersey being held onto from behind. I saw Cassel slide feet first and still absorb a hit. Then they call a game changing PF on a borderline late hit. Typical hypocritical officiating in Indianapolis...BUT we shouldn't have let it come down to a call.

I've rewatched the play on DVR, held against the backdrop of the entire game, it's a blip. Certainly, it's hard to fault one of the TEs daring to block.

This was a poorly managed game - whichever coach had the challenge call allowed himself to be suckered by Indy running off two men and leaving 10 on the field. The use of the final timeout to kill the firstdown was a very poor decision that has to have BB kicking himself. I was rarely happy with the WR screen calls, I would have liked to see more Heath Evans lead plays to set up play action. There was a little too much playing not to lose and not enough playing to win.

I don't think it was a horrible call, very iffy but not egregious, blame Gaffney for dropping the TD, blame Thomas for a bone head play, and blame BB for wasting all our time outs in the second half

I felt weird after this game. Because I knew we should've won or atleast went into OT.

It was weird. Imagine how Chargers fans felt after their loss to Denver though?




My point on the penalty is this - The refs KNOW the situation. That drive was the deciding factor in the game. Stuff like that happens ALL the time and only gets called half of the time. They let a lot of stuff go in this game. Why all of a sudden call a 15 yard penalty? It's not like he snuffed the guy Hines Ward style. It happened 1.5 sec after the RB was taken down. and the RB was behind Thomas... I doubt Thomas did it on purpose. He probably did not know the play was over.

Unnecessary roughness? More like an unnecessary call by the refs.
