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.
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.
The refs and the NFL aren't asking us to agree to anything. I watched that replay a dozen times too and I don't think the "re-spot" was unreasonable. You saw if differently. I'm not going to change your mind. You're not going to change mine. The bottom line, on which we might actually agree, is that Philip Rivers could have put the game away with one first down and, in typical Rivers fashion, threw up all over himself in a clutch game and clutch situation.
I think there's a difference between commenting on a call with which we disagree and going on and on about something over which we have no control, which is what I felt you were doing.
You're quite correct that nothing any of us writes here has an impact on much of anything, let alone what happens between the lines on Sunday.
I come here to discuss the Patriots, whom I've followed for distressingly close to four decades, and the NFL with like-minded people, many of whom are quite intelligent; sometimes, I just get tired of what comes across to me as whining. I'm sure that's not what was on your mind; it's just how I perceived your post.
Where's the line between "
commenting" and "
whining?," you might then quite reasonably ask. I have no idea, but I thought your post crossed over it. No big deal, but just what I thought and I said so. You disagree. Ain't free speech great?
