25 turnovers last year. 18 turnovers and 18 TDs this year.
- How does Norv Turner still have a job ?
- How do 3 SD defenders all bunch up together to tackle Ray Rice and leave the entire left side of the field open to allow Rice to make that cut to the left ? Odds of that play happening again are equivalent to one hitting PowerBall - #Fate and #PissPoorJudgement and #OurLuck
- How do the officials, even after seeing Rice's knee down and the ball at or just barely over the 35 yard line actually RE-SPOT the ball at the 33 and a half yard line ? #WhatTheEffWereTheyLookingAt #AreYouBleepinMe?
- (Flacco = Horseshoe up ass): Thows a 3rd and 10 low percentage deep out pass that is high and miracuously caught by the finger tips by a very well covered Torry Smith. How the eff did that happen ? #Fate #PissMeTheEffOff
This is ultimately the reality of it. What we couldn't do a few times which is sealing the deal against teams like Arizona and Seattle, BAL-HOU are doing right now and will have to continue in the next few weeks to stay ahead of us. Though AZ and SEA are no cakewalks like some of these teams and a bit more of a challenge, fact is those are games we are supposed to win and we put ourselves in this position by blowing those games.
The most important things IMO is being healthy, namely Gronk/AHern, and having a fair officiating crew. I have confidence in our ability to take on any team in this league, and hopefully all the bad luck and BS breaks is out of our system. And please no more inept, biased officiating crews.
My point is that we are being asked to agree with a refs decision who cant even understand the basic concept of left of the 34 and right of the 34 (from the cameras angle) as it pertains to the placement of the ball and where the sticks were in relation to the 34 yard line.
Ratbirds continue to pull games out of their @ss.
They have a tough next five games, all against teams still in the playoff hunt. They play better at home, actually haven't lost at home is quite a while, but I could see them losing any of them the way their offense is playing.
Steelers home
Redskins on road
Broncos home
Giants home
Bengals on road

If you see no point to me complaining about a bad call that could effect the outcome of our playoff seed and all that matters is the next game then what is your reason for even being part of this message board nothing you write on here has any effect on anything that goes on on sunday.
Let's face it - no one is going to help us out. I am resigned to the third seed right now, unless we beat the Texans, but even then they have to lose another game somewhere for us to overtake them, and we have to win out. Baltimore has to lose two more for us to overtake them. I don't see it happening.
The only seed I'm (realistically) thinking about getting is #3 over the Broncos at #4; we have the tie-breaker, thank goodness. The Pats have had problems in Denver in December and January over the years and I don't want to play Manning there, whereas Peyton, by his own admission, just hates coming to Foxboro in January!
Anything better is, IMHO, gravy.
Right and I can actually see a scenario where Denver goes into Houston and beats them along with us going into Baltimore and beating them, setting up the AFCCG of (Denver at NE).
What would be worse...
A Manning brothers Super Bowl or a Harbaugh Brothers Super Bowl?
Thanks to i82much for posting link to video. It isn't all that clear of a bad call to me. If someone can post an image or something countering this, I'd love to see it. E.g., knee clearly down, clearly not past the marker.
You say Flacco has a horseshoe up his ass.
BRO Brady must have at least 10 up his!!
You're welcome! About 1:29 of this video shows the replay, but it is very grainy and Rice is blocked from view by the defender on his way to the ground.

I keep hearing people say his knee was down on the 35, but I don't know for sure if that's the case and if that is the case I don't know whether he'd have gotten the 1st down or not, really.
