Arizona ties.

Bucs close to 2, with xp/2 to come.

Lol yea I guess so... Just didn't want to be whining about it.

#1 think I've noticed with the real refs back from watching the Packers game atleast is they demand respect and are fearless. They get straight into fumble piles. They get straight into scrums. They are sometimes 1/3rd the size of these guys but know who's boss.

But the refs sure won't be getting any more standing ovations at Lambeau.

I know that they didn't have a challenge anyway, but why isn't it standard policy to determine who comes up with a ball in those situations, since a review/challenge is likely?

Madden Curse man...happens every year

I'll take it!

If Bucs comeback I sweep the late games to have a chance in my pickem pool! COME ON JOSHIE!

Interestingly enough the last 2 min of the Bucs game is now on, despite the earlier blackout.

I'm here now, and the refs are not popular people today.

Billy Cundiff... 0-3 today.

EDIT: That was close. Tailing left, and barely stayed in. 1-4.

Billy Cundif for his job.

edit: Damnit.

If only we would have got that safety called correctly

PLUS we are back to 2nd half Freeman. Why can't the guy do anything in the 1st half?

Aw dammit, they broke Milkman.

Let's go Giants! If we beat the Eagles my week will be made. Eagles are my most hated team in the NFL.

Usually, it's the guy that's holding the ball last after they clear the pile.

My understanding with a ruling of down by contact, you need a clear recovery. Even if they had reviewed it, it couldn't have been awarded to Green Bay.

That's what I'm asking. Why don't they determine who recovered in those situations, so that, if challenged it could be resolved?

At least GB won in the end, takes some of the sting off the bad calls for the fans.

War of attrition here as usuall with these two. D vs D.

I just turned off the game. Cleaning up my house ended up being more interesting.

Well you just missed 10 points in the final 2 minutes.

Usually? I've seen it not be ruled that way countless times. Probably because all kinds of shenanigans happen in dogpiles.

Those penalties were ridiculous, that late Timeout was ridiculous, that high kick just 5 yards short (after the penalties) was ridiculous. Holy Sh*t. What an ending.

I'm happy with it, though.

When the f*ck are these coaches gonna learn that taking a time out before a big kick comes back to bite you in the ass way more than it helps you. Andy Reid is one lucky mofo.

Ya, especially since they were rushing to get the kick off since they didn't have a timeout beforehand to restart the play clock. Stupid.

Gotta agree with you guys on that one, but I watch less football than he does, so WTF do I know?

EDIT: Conspiracy theory of the day. When Roger Goodell negotiated the end of the lock out one concession he asked of the officials was to call the GB game bad so they'd assume the replacement officials weren't the whole problem.
