  1. You’re wrong. Couldn’t be more wrong, actually.
  2. yes, he was parroting the "common sense" mantra that the refs chose to apply...instead of the rule book.
  3. There's evidence of the refs - absent replay- changing the call of a scoring play when there was no call to the contrary made on the field?
  4. Can you give me one example? Can you also give me another example of the substitution refs coming onto the field, to provide their interpretation?
  5. In this case, there were no on-field refs who signaled a touchback. The ONLY on-field signal was a TD. And then there mysterious Members Only refs come running off the sidelines, and the call is changed.
  6. "Some sort of technicality" = NFL Rule Book. If it's going to be ignored, or set aside, for "common sense" ( "NFL officials" and "common sense" are an oxymoron), then why have a Rule Book at all?
  7. And even in losing, the NE D limited one of the hottest offenses in the league to 14 and Philly held Wilson, Lockett, Metcalf, etc. to 17 points.
  8. IMO, what McDermott says runs counter to how he coaches. Nothing about the strategy at the end of the first half would lead one to believe that the goal was to get to 21 points. His comments to Allen earlier in the year, to "play fearlessly"? Did it seem like Allen had carte blanche to play fearlessly against NE, Pitt or Houston?
  9. Great post. One of the best that I've read in my time lurking and posting here.
  10. no team scored more than 20 in regulation, yet our vaunted defense gave up 19 points in the last 21:00 of regulation time.
  11. Didn't see a replay of the penalty. For all we know, he was penalized for patting a teammate on the helmet, like in the New England game a few years ago.
  12. Could have just as easily been OPI on Hopkins. Also, per the rule book, the call on Ford was incorrect,
  13. I mentioned the conspicuous absence of post-snap penalties against Houston yesterday in the post-game thread. Amazing that Houston didn't commit a single post-snap infraction in nearly 75:00 of game time. I would have loved to have seen a replay of the Hughes PF as well. Garbage officiating yesterday, which is par for the course for the NFL,
  14. what negative impact did the lateral have? Perhaps McDermott should be more upset with the defenders who missed tackles today, or maybe he should be questioning why Gore got 8 carries, and Singletary 13.
  15. Mike Pereira said that it was a bogus call.
  16. It actually served to stop the clock.
  17. there were :20 seconds left before the 2nd down play, and ;15 left before the 3rd down play. Throwing inbounds and spiking the ball on the 2nd down play would have been cutting it close. Hauschka made the FG regardless, so I'm not sure what the issue is with this sequence.
  18. With no timeouts left, those passes either had to be OOB our in the end zone. Hauschka made the FG regardless, so I'm not sure what sort of negative impact those two plays had. Would love to hear McDermott's explanation for the sequence at the end of the first half - TO, followed by Gore run (?), followed by spike. Mind boggling.
  19. the officiating in this league is such a joke.
  20. Yep, he mistimed his jump, TJ Graham-style.
  21. I guess trying to do too much is better than curling up into a shell.
  22. Funny thing is, when reading threads like this, one has a pretty good idea of who is going to say what.
  23. The OL was pretty bad in the second half.
