Maguire's Beer Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 No. Just setting up the Indy fans for a heartbreaking finish. Bank on it. Undoubtedly.
Dawgg Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 That would be hilarious (and awesome) How crazy would it be to see a Vinatieri missed field goal loose the game for the Colts as time expires?
BuffaloBilliever Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 "Looks like it could've gone both ways, but the call goes against the Colts." God it's priceless...
Simon Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Routes will be cut short to provide enough room to accommodate the scenario in which the ball is caught in the air. So? What's so wrong about having to actually catch the ball in the endzone to earn your 7? And what about sideline catches? Should a similar rule be in place there as well? Absolutely. But the league wil never do it because the fans want scoring, whether its artificially generated or not.
OCinBuffalo Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 hmm...looked to me like players from both teams were guilty of facemasks, but only one was called.... You're not allowed to see that. That was a penalty on the Colts plain and simple.
KD in CA Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 How crazy would it be to see a Vinatieri missed field goal loose the game for the Colts as time expires? I'm almost expecting that.
Ramius Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Makes "logical" sense to make it a black or white issue, but I feel that with such a rule, the net effect will essentially "reduce" the size of the end zone. Routes will be cut short to provide enough room to accommodate the scenario in which the ball is caught in the air. And what about sideline catches? Should a similar rule be in place there as well? I understand what you are saying. the problem isnt the rule itself per say, but the fact that its based entirely on a judgement call by an official is what i hate about the rule. one official would call a catch a TD, another would call it incomplete. perhaps change the rule a bit to require only 1 foot in bounds if they are pushed?
bills44 Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 You're not allowed to see that. That was a penalty on the Colts plain and simple. Clearly, I'm jealous.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I love ya' Tony, but that was a stupid and pointless challenge that you had no chance of winning, nor did you deserve to.That wasted TO could become a factor before this game is over. And fwiw, the force out rule is stupid and pointless and does nothing but create problems with interpretation for officials. They should just dump that foolish rule instead of punishing DBs for using the sideline as a defender and knocking WR's out of bounds. If you're in, you're in. If you're out, you're out. Period. Actually, the first replay they showed it clearly looked to me that he had stepped out first. So I would have challenged, too. Plus, the ball comes loose when he was hit. That's a second thing they could have called back. It ended up that his heel was not out and they gave him the benefit of having possession but it was not a stupid challenge at all.
bills44 Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Reche Caldwell has a bad case of butterfingers
Simon Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 The Colts could really use Nick Harper. Wow, speaking of Harper's spot........ Nice catch Reche
KD in CA Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Reche Caldwell has a bad case of butterfingers Maybe the Bills can sign him. He'll be a free agent.
Simon Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 And that was blatant PI on Hayden in the endzone.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 And that was blatant PI on Hayden in the endzone. I agree, that was interference. My gawd these announcers are pitiful.
