Tom Coughlin and the NY GIANTS whining about Tampa Bay coming at them when they were in victory formation.

There's still time on the clock and the game is not over. Most of the analysts siding with Greg Shiano and Tampa Bay "We play the game hard til they tell us it's over"

It's not like it was a 2 score game, I think Greg Shiano was in the right.

What you thinking bout this?

9/17/2012 4:27:37 PM

^i think its not something you do, and its a good reason to try and run up the score on Tampa if you get the chance

wonder who Jaybee is pulling for tonight...his favorite college QB, or the NFL team he's cheered for for a few years since living in Atlanta

9/17/2012 8:31:49 PM

objectively, i'd say both

9/17/2012 8:52:30 PM

it looks like peyton is getting zero velocity on the ball. it's just hanging there for the falcons dbs to pick off

9/17/2012 8:56:21 PM

Come on Peyton. Wtf

Win this thing so the panthers can stay in first

9/17/2012 8:56:44 PM

^^yep

Get it together, Tebow.

9/17/2012 8:59:12 PM

No matter who wins jaybee will find a way to passive aggressively humblebrag.

9/17/2012 8:59:17 PM

i'll probably do the same thing

Broncos win: Panthers are in a 3-way tie for 1st in the division
Falcons win: TOB recruited Ryan

9/17/2012 9:00:38 PM

Another hanging ball.

9/17/2012 9:12:08 PM

/meaningful career

9/17/2012 9:12:10 PM

Atlanta backs are in better sync with Manning than anyone on the Broncos.

I dunno, I personally think its a little unsportsmanlike to use a victory formation when there's still a chance of losing the game because something went wrong. If the Giants had been up 10 then sure, go ahead and take a knee. They were up 7 and one fumbled snap means overtime.

If Tampa had sat back and the snap was fumbled everyone would be questioning their will to win or calling them lazy for not playing the full 60 minutes.

This just makes me sad.

Another replacemen ref fail

9/17/2012 9:18:03 PM

it's absolute bullshit that the broncos had to waste a challenge on such an obvious call

9/17/2012 9:34:14 PM

What's bullshit is the amount of flak these replacements have gotten from the networks. You didnt hear this much commentary about the officiating when the regulars were in there.

9/17/2012 9:38:29 PM

they absolutely deserve some flak for missing a tip that freaking obvious

9/17/2012 9:40:43 PM

Yes, but not the obviously condescending tone, "already two overturned calls in this first quarter". The first one on the td was a good call on the field, just more angles allowed the overturn.

[Edited on September 17, 2012 at 9:43 PM. Reason : Terrible comma. ]

9/17/2012 9:42:26 PM

Atlanta grandstands for a call after the play, flag comes out 5 seconds later. Terrible.

9/17/2012 9:42:47 PM

Did you disagree with the flag?

9/17/2012 9:44:13 PM

^5 you might have a point if the criticism wasn't deserved, but it's 100% deserved

and it's more than blown calls. the players/coaches have no respect for them, and they shouldn't

[Edited on September 17, 2012 at 9:46 PM. Reason : I can't believe you are trying to defend these refs]

9/17/2012 9:45:23 PM

I love these refs. Anyone that gets John Fox that pissed is good in my book.

9/17/2012 9:47:16 PM

It's pretty evident the players and coaches don't respect the officials, half the reason for their apparent "terribleness".

9/17/2012 9:47:46 PM

^4 for the play in question in my previous post, absolutely. it wasn't a late hit IMO.

[Edited on September 17, 2012 at 9:48 PM. Reason : foo]

9/17/2012 9:47:49 PM

i had no idea jack del rio was back with fox. he'll make him look a lot better than he is

9/17/2012 9:48:53 PM

Definitely a late hit Sweden.

9/17/2012 9:52:02 PM

Fox livid when there were actually 12 men on the field

at least they have the replay capability if they can't call anything right the first time

9/17/2012 9:54:43 PM

that was a textbook late hit

as soon as a QB starts a feet-first slide, he can't be touched

9/17/2012 9:55:51 PM

guys are already lunging at him before he starts the slide, but whatever. still a dumb rule regardless.

9/17/2012 9:57:55 PM

these refs are so terrible

9/17/2012 10:03:42 PM

That was a bad DPI call

9/17/2012 10:04:59 PM

its like the refs just throw flags when the home crowd yells at them

home teams are 21-9 this year so far

9/17/2012 10:12:05 PM

Historically home teams are about 60%, so what.

9/17/2012 10:16:31 PM

I think fairy prime would probably be more accurate than fairy Peyton tonight.

9/17/2012 10:19:36 PM

^^so maybe the extra 10% is due to shitty high school refs

just seems like since the refs are so completely 100% inexperienced in reffing NFL games, they're actually letting the crowd/players/coaches dictate when they throw or dont throw flags


[Edited on September 17, 2012 at 10:22 PM. Reason : .]

9/17/2012 10:20:32 PM

Or statistical variations.

To your edit, it does seem that way a bit to me too. I'd only be upset though if they get goaded into a truly bad call.

[Edited on September 17, 2012 at 10:24 PM. Reason : .]

9/17/2012 10:22:05 PM

i might be reaching on home record meaning anything this early

i just dont know how anybody could watch the preseason and these first two weeks and not think these refs are terrible and have been making numerous bad calls in every game, moreso than the regular refs would

[Edited on September 17, 2012 at 10:25 PM. Reason : touchdown Demaryious, regular refs wouldve noticed the toe drag]

9/17/2012 10:23:47 PM

Catch

9/17/2012 10:27:10 PM

That was poor mechanics by the ref, didn't watch the player go down with the ball.

There have been numerous times throughout the seasons where that exact play has been missed the same way.

9/17/2012 10:27:23 PM

lol, what is that, 3 reversed calls in one half?

9/17/2012 10:27:41 PM

i think the "every scoring play will be reviewed" was put in by Goodell because he figured every team would run out of red flags in the first half with these lingerie league refs

9/17/2012 10:29:12 PM

Only the middle one was truly a missed call.

9/17/2012 10:29:16 PM

Georgia Tech is Wide Receiver U

9/17/2012 10:32:04 PM

that pass interference call was so bad, they should give Denver the challenge back

9/17/2012 10:39:50 PM

Wow, that penalty misadministration was terrible. Wtf were the other refs doing.

9/17/2012 10:47:17 PM

also not knowing the rules

9/17/2012 10:59:40 PM

Terrible

9/17/2012 11:01:24 PM

is the Faclons' OC named Turd Cutter?
