Default what scares me

I've never seen a colts game where so many calls were let go! if you watch the game video there were clear pi calls not whistled and manning was clearly thrown to the ground late on the final drive. Usually the Colts receive 2-3 gift calls, yet saturday they couldn't buy a legit call.

Personally, I thought the referees did an excellent job of calling that game. IMO, that's the way a playoff game SHOULD be called.

I did not see a single call that wasn't made that should have been made. I saw a lot of whiny Colts begging for calls after the fact, but absolutely none of them were deserved and very surprisingly, none were called. Hopefully such solid officiating occurs again this weekend.

I thought so too, they erred on the side of no call, and that was good.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

I agree. I was expecting the obligatory PI call in favor of the Colts and it never came. There were a two or three occasions where it was close and if it had been called it would have been ticky tacky. By not calling them the refs let the game be played as it should with only clear PIs being called. The Colts seem to have been the most favored with these calls in the past, so it was nice to see the playing field level for once.

I must have missed Manning being thrown to the ground, not that I want to watch the game again, but it just didn't stand out at the time. Maybe I was watching some other part of the play so the OP could be right on that one.

The Ravens/Chiefs game was a backyard brawl. Players pulling helmets off, punches...all in front of the refs but no flags. Finally, the refs warned each coach. Going into Pitt, I'm betting that the Ravens believe that they can take liberties after the whistle assuming the same no calls. This game could get very ugly.

Funny, you read the Jets boards and they complain about all the calls against them or non-calls against the other team. Doesn't matter the week. There as already a thread on Jetsinsider.com this week complaining about all the calls the Pats are GOING TO get away with this upcoming Sunday.

I want the refs to let the players play. The fewer calls the better.
