You don't think that my avatar is a photoshop job do you? That is a very rare photo which shows a NFL ref showing his true self.
Now, man up and at least admit that the no call on Caldwell should have been, at a minimum, illegal use of the hands beyond 5 yards. You know, the Polian rule.
We can't put the toothpaste in back in the tube and the outcome remains. But, you need to show that you are credible and admit the Calwell no call should have been called.
GO BEARS! For several reasons.
Just when I was starting to get this game and move on to next year....
SERENITY NOW!!!
PS: The Caldwell call was even worse, if they make the correct call, it's basically game over, we win the AFC championship. I'm all for letting them play, but that was so blatant, you have to call that.
I get the impression people think that Caldwell noncall was very late in the game, I went back on my tivo and checked it out, it came with 7:42 left in the game, and the pats could have been up 35-28 if they make the call which in my opinion they should have...but there was still alot of football to be played..
We would've won. Besides, it doesn't matter, the call should've been made, and it wasn't. We were robbed.
same with us in 2004 in the AFC Title game but thats cool..
To me there is nothing worse than fans from any team crying about some call the ref made or didnt make .good and bad calls happen to both teams its part of the game.
Yes, that 20-3 score was misleading. We were really outplayed. Good things those refs helped us win by 3 possessions.
I just read through 54 posts and cannot see anywhere that the NFL admitted anything.
sorry but it was 24-14 and im talking about the drive when we were down 21-14 had the ball with 2 mins left and the DB kept holding our recievers and nothing was called..but Im sure you knew what I was talking about...anyhow I don't blame the refs for that loss, just pointing out its a two way street and it sucks to be on the other end of bad calls which I have admitted on this forum today, so im not one of those trolls here to cause trouble..
I admited earlier that the Caldwell play should have been called, I was setting 22 rows from the play and about **** my pants thinking there is going to be a flag, then no flag and of course when your at the game your totally happy nothing was called, not sure how it would have panned out if that call is made, im sure the Pats probably get a TD, then your up 35-28, Colts might go down and score a TD and tie it up but then wonder how much time would have been left for brady...sucks we will never know...I looked at my tivo and at the time the Pats kicked there FG to go up 31-28 there was 7:42 left in the game, so still alot could have happened
Quit while you're ahead. Seriously.
Your team didn't get screwed in that game. You have patriots fans on their own board acknowledging that the colts won fair and square this game, which I agree with. At this point, with respect, you sound like someone trying to make himself (herself?) feel better about some arguably spotty calls in this game by bringing up the past, which is your prerogative, but something that (again, respectfully) should be done elsewhere and on your own time. Otherwise, it's dangerously close to nose rubbing. Just my .02.
actually I have been on here most of the day and have openly admitted the calls in this last game were bad and some bad ones went against the pats, just trying to make a point to that other guy that its a two way street and yes in that game there was two calls in a row that could have been called PI or holding that were not called, now would the colts win if they were called, you never know but they way they were playing im guessing they wouldn't have..now if I can come on your board and admit the Refs blew calls in the Colts favor im sure you can do the same and at least admit there could have been something called in that game on the Colts final drive and down by only 7..
Sorry, I don't agree. I think the Patriots did a better job of adjusting to how the officials were calling the game than the Colts did. That's football.
If it makes you feel better to equate the plays in that game with the plays under discussion in the most recent game, that's, as I said, your prerogative. I think they were in two entirely different categories. But ultimately it's a distinction without a difference, because the Patriots did not deserve the game this year, which is the last time I'm going to say that.
