Week 9 NFL Games

[Brady_to_Moss]

Wow.... These refs are killing this game.

and doubling down on it..

 

[livinginthe past]

I think I might be cheering for the Steelrs now - yuck.

 

[Crononaut]

I would normally say it's pretty hard to have any sympathy for the Steelers, but after three or four absolutely brutal calls in a row, it's pretty hard not to.

 

[Ununcle]

People in oakland now freaking out all over again.

That wasn't a tuck rule. Ratlisberger wasn't trying to bring the ball into his body. It was an incompletion -his arm was definitely going forward.

i believe it was a fumble by ben, because i've seen that go against rivers SEVERAL times

but..that was for sure clipping haha

he didn't have control of the ball when the hand was going forward IMO, it was already dislodged even if just partially

i think it was a good call just missed the blatant clip

I'm not exactly the Steelers biggest fan but they've been hosed by the refs here.

That's 4 legitimately terrible calls to give the Giants 14 points.

Little Hometown cooking going on in NY I'm not a fan of the Steelers but I do hate to see any team get a screwing

 

[livinginthe past]

Looking at the Giants - you need to be able to commit to the run against them which is where I think we are better suited this year.

 

[jcdavey]

boley is awesome

Just thinkng the same thing

That play has nothing to do with the tuck rule. There was no attempt made to tuck the ball. It's a question of the 'empty hand' rule.

Clearly the ball had *started* to be knocked loose before Roethlisberger's arm was going forward, but it looked to me like he regained a degree of control before it finally came free.

I'm not sure what the correct interpretation is.

For the record, I thought it should have been an incompletion.

I'd buy this explanation. But that was a BLATANT clip, where was the call? The reviewed TD? he wasn't in. PI? Not really. Personal Foul in the end zone was a clean play.

Sure seems like the fix is in for NY to feel good after Sandy. I hope the Steelers ROLL for the rest of the game.

 

[jcdavey]

for those of you who don't know, the nfl fixes games every year. Because of the hurricane in nj, the refs will favor the giants heavily in order to make people there feel better. I've seen this too many times before.

lol..............
