I'm enjoying the salt
I do agree that the DPI call situation was pretty screwed up. The ref that threw the flag also was the one farthest from the play. The lack of explanation from when they all had their little meeting before overturning the call really hurt. But, there were a couple other things that were missed that could have been called too: Hitchens had a handful of jersey before the ball was thrown, also Pettigrew had a handful of Hitchens' facemask. Jason Garrett pointed out in a interview that bad or missed calls is something every team deals with every week and are submitted to the officials after the games. It's only intensified because it's the playoffs. A lot of fans want to focus on this ONE incident, but not the 10 yard punt (they were 3 and 1 and I have no idea why they didn't rush for the down, but instead tried to draw offsides) or two fumbles that gave Dallas a TD and ultimately the game. Surprisingly enough there wasn't a ton of penalty yardage throughout the game. Last edited by Mr. DJ; 2015-01-06 at 14:24. |

But yea, it's just salt, not like the league have conceded they blown multiple calls - both including the holding against pettigrew that would've lead to a 1st down and kept the drive going, and another one against Suh that would've took a TD away from the Cowboys. Oh wait, they have. And spare me what Jason Garret says, as if anyone in his position would remotely admit to being aided by the blown calls. True, blown calls happen to everyone in just about every sports, but don't try to use that as a magic wand to wave it away as if they're all created equal. |

There were calls missed all game on both teams, I'm not just gonna focus on one team as if the other was innocent. I got pissed when I saw a pic of one of the Cowboys deliberately stepping on the back of the leg of a Lion's player. Between that kind of bullshit and deliberately faking a injury/flopping to delay the game that I've been noticing makes me want to bitch smack people. Tired of seeing that crap in the NBA, don't need it in football. I will continue to call it salt as long as people keep participating in retarded tinfoil conspiracy asshattery. |

You mentioned 1, I mentioned 3, I do believe that if my math is correct, 1 does not equal 3.

In all the penalties that were called/missed in this game, only one of them has ever happened in the history of the NFL, you want to guess which one? Quote:

-The DPI -Hitchen's holding Pettigrew's jersey before the DPI call -Pettigrew's hands to Hitchen's facemask When I said everyone was focusing on one incident, it was the DPI call. That was virtually the only thing everyone was talking about Sunday and most of Monday. The NFL admits they missed the holding call made by Dallas on Suh on the 4th and 6, they also admitted that the play before hand they missed a holding call made by Detroit on Witten. They also admitted to 6 other missed calls that would have been in Dallas' favor. I'm sure Detroit has a similar report as well. Yeah, the repercussions of errors grow worse as the game draws nearer to the end, but you cannot overlook what happened during the rest of the game and how it would have impacted. For example, Detroit's 99 yard drive. There was 3 missed holding calls on that drive by Detroit that could have impacted it. The only reality distortion field being committed is by the people who make it sound so sure that Detroit would have won if they got the DPI call. We can have all the woulds and what ifs in the world, but the facts are what they are; Detroit was a no show in the end zone after the 1Q, they opened the second half with a interception and in the closing minutes, fumbled the ball, got it back with a fresh set of downs and fumbled again. Dallas moves on to Green Bay and Detroit goes home. Though I'm almost certain Dallas will be going home too, despite what "experts" say. The Jerry Jones paying off the refs claims are just hilarious. But, if it wasn't Dallas, it would be Pittsburgh. I think they're the only other team that gets shitted on by supposedly having the refs in their pockets. I get the frustration, seven straight losses in the playoffs would drive anyone mad. Though not as mad if you were a Bills fan in the late 80s-early 90s. Quote:

I hate being right I thought Dez's catch would have been ruled a fumble and recovery *shrug* Oh well, with all who's left...I'll take any of the remaining teams not The Patriots Though I'm surprised the Colts won.

Very good choice. I don't want the Seahawks to win because their fans are super obnoxious as it is with only one ring, so I can only imagine how bad they'd be with two, but I'd rather suffer through them for decades than have Brady and Belicheat win another SB.
Preferably, they won't even get there. C'mon Colts, you have all of Baltimore rooting for you for a week. Don't disappoint. |

Part of it was also Manning. He's been injured in some form for weeks now. He was a shell if homself today. Whereas while Rodgers was sub-par in the other game today, he was able to step it up in the 2nd half.

I have a few friends at Ohio State so I rooted for them. If someone told me that Ohio State would beat Oregon 42-20 while losing the turnover battle 4-1 I would have laughed. It was really 4-0 since the Mariota pick was the last pass of the game. Still, I thought it would be high scoring, but Oregon was outmatched for the majority of the game.

Todd Bowles is the new head coach of the New York Jets. If he can't shape them up, not sure if anyone else can.
Atlanta have now had the two targets they were going after most taken. Not sure what they are thinking.
