Yeah, like every week.
The pathetic and disgraceful part is listening to the spoiled Colts fans complaining about the refs who have tried to hand them a superbowl the last few years.
Talk about spitting on the hand that cheats for you.
If they wanted to give the Colts the game, they could have called the blatant pass interference on the long pass from PM.
You guys do realize that the rest of the league was convinced from about 2001 through MOST of 2006 that the refs were in the pockets of the Pats, don't you?

Unlike an NFL referee I knew precisely what was going to happen and what to watch for and got to watch 'the play' 10 times in a row from a stationary position and I still couldn't be certain whether he was breaking the rules or not. I'm sure if I could have taped the guy and rolled the tape forward one frame at a time and stopped it at the exact frame where the dart was no longer in his hand, then I could have just looked at where his foot was; but I didn't have that luxury. I had to just watch him and try to divide my attention between his hand and foot and failed pretty miserably.
Not to mention both Mark Schlereth and Merril Hodge complaining that the refs reviewed the call. They claimned that the ball was always a few inches off one way or another on every play and it was too big of a play to change the spot. Of course they didn't mention that the play would normally be challenged by any coach with half a brain had there been more than two minutes left in the game. So, of course the refs were going to review it, especially when the spot was so far off.
Game of inches, eh?
That gets me wondering, how many inches high and wide is Peyton's humongous forehead? It seems to be getting bigger ... Or is his hairline just receding? I can't tell. Instead of doing more commercials he should just rent the space out to a billboard company.
Quit your bitchin' and take your loss like a man instead of a little boy living in mommy's basement.They are right. Might as well review every spot on every play. Why only in the last two minutes.
have not watched the replay yet, but what Dungy wanted to know was where the 1st and ten started. Many have said it was 1st and ten, just beyond the 16 yard line. Therefore, reaching the SIX yard line, or just outside of it, should have gained the first down. Interested to see where the ball was originally spotted on first down
Speaking of spots, I know you all thought we got a generous one just before the half two weeks ago. I though we got jobbed inside the five (the two runs before Gonzo dropeed the 3rd down TD). Looked like both Keith and Addai gained more yards than they were credited for. Game of inches, eh?
I am not "arguing" or complaining, I am discussing. No excuses, just food for thought. Certainly, I will go back and take a look at where that first down started in the San Diego game. Not questioning where the final spot was, questioning where the first down to gain should have been. That's all. In the end, we lost, it's over. Can't blame that loss on that 1 play for sure.The Colts could have challenged any of those spots if they wanted to.
The spot for Addai was off by almost 2 feet. The ball landed a foot inside the 6, but the initial spot gave him a foot past it. We're not talking half a football which would be inches.
They don't review every play because it's impractical, but you better believe a decent coach would review a critical play like that one. A dumb coach would call a TO to 'strenuously object' to a non reviewable play. Talk about arrogant.
Sometimes I can't believe the pathetic arguments I hear from some fans, especially Colt's fans. Addai didn't earn the 1st down, by a long shot. Yet, you think he should be given a crucial, game ending 1st down spot because sometimes mistakes happen in other parts of the game that cost us a couple inches here or there. Do you hear yourself?
Dungy wanted to know where the 1st down spot was originally? That was 3 freakin plays ago, the chains hadn't moved since they started there. Holy crybaby Batman.
Yards gained a couple weeks ago? Your argument starts with 'I thought'.
The argument for this week's spot starts with, 'replay CONFIRMED'.
Difference?
Schlereth and Hodge sound like idiots when they dispute a review that was clearly correct. Complete morons arguing against a correct reversal.
What about the gifted non PI call on SD's 3rd down in the 4th? That one was blatantly obvious.
Instead you'll point to Moorehead getting tangled with Weddel's arm a split second before the ball arrives. A split second attempt at breaking up a play versus a near tackle before the ball gets near Gates.
One is a good db play, whereas the other was plain stupid.
This is a fantastic idea. That way, the cameras could focus on him on the sidelines between defensive snaps for the Colts. How much do you think an advertiser would pay? Perhaps permanent tatoos?? Maybe a 3-d holographic TAT?? That way, when he moves his head, a second or third ad could be seen.
I don't know, but you'd think Country Kitchen and Motel 6 would have to be interested.
