ExiledInIllinois Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 THere was the one where Ben got the first down by 1 yard, but they moved it back, so that he got the first down by 1 foot. 595915[/snapback] That was classic... Just classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I was listening to the local sports station here in Beantown on my way into work this morning. A guy called in (Pats fan) and said that while the offciating was bad in this game, it was nothing compared to the way the Pats got robbed by the officials in the Denver game. I came very close to driving my car into a tree. Typical Pats fan...still complaining about the officiating in a game where his team had 5 turnovers. Maybe he was complaining that they usually get all the calls. I hate this town. 596171[/snapback] Could be worse. Could live in mullet (Pitt/Phi) country. They were drunk and lighting off fireworks last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't wait to shut these over rated punks up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 THere was the one where Ben got the first down by 1 yard, but they moved it back, so that he got the first down by 1 foot. 595915[/snapback] I think they marked it where his knee was down, rather than the ball. I noticed the same thing so I rewound it on my DVR to see. And that was it, putting the ball where his knee hit, before the ball hit. Not sure what would be the correct call though.

Fan in San Diego Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I think you mentioned all of them. Good poll ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obie_wan Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 there actually was one bad call. Seattle completed a pass inside the 20, teh WR took 3 steps and the fumbled and Pitts would have recovered inside the 20 with a chance to run it back. The refs ruled it incomplete. No big loss for Pitts since Seattle punted into end zone on the next play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ball went like 10 yards up field and out of bounds) Maybe another play? There was another play where the defender went to pick up the ball and it slipped out his hands and flew out of bounds. Though that may have had more to do with the whistles blowing...so he didn't try to really hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 How about the one where the Seahawk (can't remember his name) got the ball knocked loose, but they ruled it an incomplete pass. He took like six steps (doesn't that constitute a football move?) before the ball popped loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to have control and make a "football move". Which is one of the stupider rules, I think. What the !@#$ is a "football move"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 What the !@#$ is a "football move"? 596788[/snapback] Obviously, it's when you're lying unconscious, with one leg touching the ball, and the other touching the out of bounds pylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The ground being unable to cause a fumble, mind you.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
