Re: I hate to admit it: The Haters Were Right!!

In that Indy dome? I think we lose both to NO and GB. Good thing they can't take care of their own business.

I agree. But now that both are out my perception of these playoffs have changed. I was resigned to the fact one of those teams was taking the SB. Now - with higher expectations - I am afraid I'll be more disapointed if/when NE doesn't take advantage.

Agreed. This is a golden opportunity. Right now i have that feeling though...you know...the this is our year feeling. We're healthy...Brady was as sharp as ever + the D played one of their best if not the best games of the season + the OL is dominant.

I presume nothing.

I NEVER assume anything...

But there ARE...possibilities.

Re: I hate to admit it: The Haters Were Right!!

Lets not go there yet, spitting on another teams grave before we even make it to where we want to be?

Speak for yourself.

I'm not spitting on anyone's grave.

You might want to consider smelling a rose or two, my friend.

We have...an extraordinary Opportunity, here.

Yes you are. If that isn't "spitting on someone's grave"/"kicking someone when they are down" then nothing is.

We do have an opportunity here, but it is just than an opportunity right now. Still got an extremely tough game to win before we can make fun of others for not making the super bowl.

I'd say, lets get there first?

He didn't mention us making the SB just that it would be impossible to play GB's O at the SB, that's a true statement. Poking a little fun at GB's loss after all the hype that surrounded them is hardly spitting on there grave.

Geez....

Wrong AGAIN, Sport!! :bricks:

As the TITLE of this thread should've made crystal clear even to YOU:

I was just poking fun at the HATERS, not the PACKERS.

The "fans" who never gave us a chance to beat the Packers in the Super Bowl!!

And they were RIGHT!!

I hope that clears things up for you.

Re: Giants-Packers Officiating

Is there any good reason for the limits on how challenges can be used? That kind of sucks...Do they even bother to look at the jumbotron replaying it? Geez.

The NFL doesn't want judgement calls eligible for replay because that opens a whole new can o' worms. Most penalties are judgement calls. Only rare non-judgement-call penalties, like too many men on the field, can be reviewed. Or, for example, you can't review pass interference except to see if the ball was tipped prior to the penalty.

Wait...what's going on again? (kidding, kidding)

I agree. With all the hype all year surrounding the "better" 2 QB's, it's a time to reflect on which one made it further.

Top NFL stories of the year: (in no order)

1. Rodgers 'perfect' season, and "will the Packers go 19-0?"

2. Brees' record breaking season, as "the Saints play PS3, while the rest of the NFL plays Atari..."

3. Tebow

Not a coincidence that all 3 of those stories are now done.

Next up:

---the emergence of Eli as a top-tier QB. "Is he even better than his brother?"

---the possibility of the Harbaugh bowl (zzzzz....) rematch

Re: Giants-Packers Officiating

Not to mention that lesbian Clay Matthews DID hit Manning helmet to helmet earlier in the game and didn't get called for it. That was the most disgusting, atrocious excuse for "officiating" that I've seen in an NFL game for some time. I had to double check to make sure I wasn't watching the NBA.

Yeah, that one also got to me. I mean, Manning throws the balls, then gets a glancing blow on his facemask from some Packer infront of him, when that arm is gone Matthews comes in from behind and takes manning to the ground with first contact done helmet to helmet. I can't understand how it wasn't called.

I almost thought they were going to give the ball back to GB after the Grant fumble.

Re: Giants-Packers Officiating

Was it the same crew that did the Lions Saints game the week before? They sucked also.

 

[Patters]

Re: Giants-Packers Officiating

Refs make honest mistakes, but that fumble call is truly hard to explain. The replay left no doubt that it was a fumble. And, usually, on controversial calls, the ref offers an explanation, which he did not in this case.

Re: Giants-Packers Officiating

Bishop creamed Manning too without any call also.


I'd have some symapthy for the Giants here.


They were absolutely jipped by the officials at the Meadowlands game against the Packers too.

Re: Giants-Packers Officiating

Yeah, it's the second time the Giants were jobbed by the zebras when facing the Packers. The Saints-49ers game was also very poorly officiated.

I didn't see any glaring problems with the AFC matchups, but next week could be interesting. There's always a lot of whining from Baltimore about officiating, so we'll see who we get and what approach they take. The upside is that Leavy and Triplette have already had their chance to officiate, so we won't be getting them. Mike Carey maybe?

Re: Giants-Packers Officiating

I think what is most relevant is that throughout the weekend they pretty much left defenses play. I don't think I saw one pass interference or illegal contact. And yet, scoring was still pretty high except for BAL-HOU.

Re: I hate to admit it: The Haters Were Right!!

Felger has been one of these prime culprits and I can't wait to hear excuses today about the packers with their "better than the Patriots'" defense. I didn't have anything against the Packers or Saints, but I could never figure out how they didn't get the same level of criticism for having crappy defenses.

 

[PaulThePat]

Re: Giants-Packers Officiating

The ref looked like a corpse which had been dug up and brought back to life by some Cheesehead black magic for the game. Honestly, the bloke looked like death warmed up. The fumble call was inexcusable. Even Mike Pereira said it was an obvious fumble.

I can't see why they could include helmet-to-helmet hits on replay. He either did or did not hit the helmet.
