I'm not worried about not being able to stop them are 3rd and 15.
We're defending there with Mayo, Sanders, Merriweather, Guyton and Woods.
Those 5 kids aren't seasoned enough yet to play perfect defensive football especially against a veteran like Favre.
We had to be good and lucky to prevent a field goal after the coin flip. We weren't.
I maintain we were hurt by the flubs instead of the predictable defensive mistakes.
No points out of penetration deep into Jets territory, Watson fumble, Koppen snap to Cassel, penalty for holding on Vrabel.
Those screw ups kill me.
And, one thing really kills me. I expect referees to make mistakes during a game. For instance, missing Favre's grounding and calling it a tipped ball is perhaps understandable. refs, like our defense, make mistakes some times.
But on that first drive, how in the world did the booth overturn the call on the field? Yes, the receivers feet were down, but (and I replayed this in slow motion on my DVR) his one foot came up BEFORE he caught the ball. I guarantee you he had only one foot down.
I know the call on the field was bobbling (he did not bobble). Does anyone know if the replay booth would only be looking at whether it was a bobble in that situation? Or wouldn't they also be tasked with looking to see if it was actually a catch (i.e. two feet in bounds)? I'm assuming it's the latter because if it's only the first (i.e. look at replay to see if the field ref's judgement is correct) then you open up a can of worms. A coach would be out there asking ref's why they made a certain call, and they could challenge on that basis.
