[quote=htownskinfan;768403]I didnt see the end of the game but I saw the highlight of him falling back into the endzone and I heard he was flagged for excessive celebration,did he do something after he scored or was the flag just for the falling back into the endzone? If it was for just falling back into the endzone that is complete and utter bullshit[/quote]

I heard they called the penalty "going to the ground during a celebration." But since he wasn't in the endzone I don't think it should've been a penalty. Dumb penalty but if the officials see something questionable they will call a penalty every time, and justify it under whatever rule they think is appropriate.

I'm more pissed that even with officials staying in the background of the offense, they keep ignoring blatant holding by offensive tackles. That td pass to Winslow never would've stood if the official had just keep his eyes on the offensive line instead of watching the ball. I mean really? His quote was "I was watching the ball in the air, not the offensive line." MFer that's your f'n job, there's 7 refs and you can bet your sweet ass at least 2 of them are watching the ball in the air and the receiver, and somebody (you) needs to be watching the offensive line, because if one ref sees their tackle with his arm around Orakpo's neck, it would've gotten called. No ref could look at that and call it legal football.

what about the play with around 2:30 mins left in our game. we did a run play, torain picked up about 5 yards then was stood up by 2-3 buc defenders. one of our o line guys plows into the 3 bucs. the play just ened but no. 20 on the bucs (barber?) then plows his forearm into our down O lineman.

it was clearly a blow/strike to a guy on the ground for no other reason than that bucs player didnt appreciate getting hit like our O line guy did to him.

i thought the refs did a good job of letting both teams play football with the one inconsistent call on ST against sellers. if they are calling holding all day, then ok i dont mind you calling that a hold but to not call holding all day then throw the flag on that? inconsistent. any way that was done by the refs' annoyance of having shanny point out a hold on the image sheet he had in his hand the play before? the head ref walked over then walked away from shanny with a look like he was a baseball ump and shanny was arguing balls and strikes.

Love him or hate em, Vick & D. Jackson are good for ratings

Re: Around the NFL (Week 14)
 

Brady's line yesterday in a freakin blizzard with 30 mph winds. 27-40 369 yards and two td's against a pretty good defense. Amazing. And Deion Branch was a bum in Seattle and now he's a legit NFL wr again.

Re: Around the NFL (Week 14)
 

Well, Favre's epic streak is over. Inactive for tonight's game.

Re: Around the NFL (Week 14)
 

Tarvaris looking good, but how much is it him and how much it is Sidney Rice is debatable.

And just as I was typing this, a knee-on-knee between him and AP.

Re: Around the NFL (Week 14)
 

Line Judge carted off the field in Vikes game. Now that doesn't happen often.

Lucky you actually getting to watch the game. Then again it can't be that great if NYG is up 21-3.

Internet streaming does have its perks. I thank the streamers for providing them every week.
