    Pats Rodney Harrison still crying about the refs

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    I've talked at length about the mistakes on my Pats board, and have even touched on them here.  No doubt, bad calls were a factor, but the turnovers and mistakes were a far larger factor.

     

    Anyone who puts the loss squarely on the shoulders of the officials wasn't watching the same game I was.

    The first one was bad, certainly (one of the worst in Brady's career, given the situation), but the last was just a last ditch, heave-it-up-for-grabs type of thing, and even then, the receiver was dragged to the ground before the ball arrived.  I'd call that a product of the circumstances more than a "very bad INT."

    Those were mistakes in that all fumbles are mistakes, but to call them "unforced" is to deny the Broncos due credit, I think.  On all three fumbles, there was a Bronco there to jar it loose (even on Brown's fumble, despite the fact that he had called for a FC...hmmm. <_<), so they weren't unforced.

    No one is pointing fingers at you. We're just commenting on Rodney Harrison on The View, er...I mean the WEEI Dale & Holley show blaming the refs for the Pats loss and not giving Denver any credit for being better.

    Please don't take D'Brick if available

    D'Brick is not a fat ass. Mike Williams is/was a fat ass with a history of injuries to boot.

    D'Brick is a Left Tackle. Mike Williams was a Right Tackle. As of late, he was a backup guard.

    Left Tackles are drafted early because they are worth their weight in gold. Mike Williams is probably the highest paid RT in football history.

     

    Can you see the difference, or no?

    Pats Rodney Harrison still crying about the refs

    Rodney Harrison was on the WEEI midday show today. He went on and on for at least 10 minutes about the "shoddy" officiating in the Broncos/Pats game. (He started every sentence with "...I'm not blaming the refs, BUT..." which means he WAS blaming the refs!) He also went on to say how the NFL ought to be sure their best refs worked the playoff games because "...you want the BEST team in the Super Bowl."

     

    Hmmmm...the "best" team? Which team is that, Rodney??

     

    This interview revealed a lot about the Patriots charecter in 2006, and a glimpse into why they lost that game. The Patriots used to be a team that worked harder than anyone else to win. It looks like they have become a team that expects to win by just showing up.

     

    Not once did Harrison give any credit to the Broncos D for f***ing up Tom Brady and the Patriots offense. In years past, the Pats D would get credit for forcing bad throws and turnovers. But when another team does it to them, they "gave the game away."

     

    I hope this is a sign that the Pats "dynasty" is starting to crumble. When you start believeing your own hype, it's the beginning of the end.

    He's really screwing UB over.

    He hasn't accepted the job yet. Yes, he would be screwing UB over, but how often do you get an NFL coaching offer? He'd be crazy to turn it down. Turner Gill won't like, but he'd understand.

    I don't understand the seeming lack of urgency

    Is it just me, or does it seem there seems to be no rush in interviewing anyone for the job, except for Dick Jauron. We get permission to talk to Sean Payton days ago, and then what? He takes a job in NO while he's waiting for Levy to call?? Mangini? Did anyone contact him? Rivera is free to talk now...why no interview scheduled? Haslett has been floating like a fart in the air for a week now!!

     

    I want to believe in Levy and Wilson, but they gotta show me something.

    I'm thinking it's down to Sherman and Jauron

    3-4 days ago, I would have said Haslett was as good as hired as the Bills new HC. Now I think there's no way. Why has there been no formal contact or interview scheduled? Is it because, after studying Haslett's work in N.O, they decided he wasn't the best man for the job? Or does it have anything to do with the "steroid" flap and the Kent Hull comments?

     

    Right now, I'm betting it will be Mike Sherman, because of his track record, and because Green Bay is on the hook to pay him the difference between his salary and the $3.2 mil a year he was supposed to get. In theory, Ralph could pay him $1, and he still makes $3.2 mil!!

    NFL Admits Mistake

    That was my initial reaction when I saw the play...that it was a catch. The NFL better take a serious look at their officials. It seems some don't even know their own rule book, and are making rules up during playoff games. Luckily it didn't cost the Steelers the game.
