billnutinphoenix Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hmmm, 8-8 eh? Looks like Dick Jauron only needs to figure out how to win 1 more game a year. Think New England fans are still mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 i cringe every time I see that officiating crew, they love camera time almost as much as T.O. I dont get how they call that second defensive holding penalty on 3rd down in overtime....3 first downs on penalties on one drive in an overtime playoff game, not the way you want to see a good game end what were the colts doing going empty backfield on 3rd down inside their own ten with just over 2 mins left and the Bolts out of timeouts...you have to at least give the impression you might run and at the very least leave a back in to cover Peytons backside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I believe they were technically correct calls. Judgement could have gone either way. The Bolts got the breaks. I wonder how many still think the Chargers were not worthy to be IN this game because the Patsies had a better w/l record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numark Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 i think the refs thought we were playing in OT with those calls. Thank god we didn't go to the playoffs to lose in OT due to penalties though. I would have punched the TV and then killed it. My anger was distributed over 4-6 games this year.

Cry me a river ... NE has had plenty of breaks. While I hate to say it the Fins are a better team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I wonder how many still think the Chargers were not worthy to be IN this game because the Patsies had a better w/l record? the Chargers won their div so their record doesnt matter, i dont get why people cant seem to understand that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numark Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 what really isn't fair is the fact this was a home game for the chargers. That rule needs to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 the Chargers won their div so their record doesnt matter, i dont get why people cant seem to understand that The only thing I'd like to see changed though is that the team with the better record should have a home game in the wc round, regardless if the other team won their division.

Lori Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Think New England fans are still mad? Undoubtedly. In fact, knowing them, they're still bitching about last year's Super Bowl. You know what? Good. I wonder how many still think the Chargers were not worthy to be IN this game because the Patsies had a better w/l record? I'm still wondering how a team the Bills handled with relative ease is through to the second round of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMIEBUF12 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 when i was watching the game ,it reminded me how much i detest the tampa cover two defense...watching san diego's backup runningback ripping off 9 yard runs at will makes me disgusted to think about the bills defense next year.....wasn't it like 6 or 7 games in a row where the bills gave up opening drive touchdowns?....go bills in"2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 lmao @ bad calls. They were the correct calls. The db was holding chambers the entire way and clint session tried to spin sproles head around. +1 If the Colts were "robbed" in this game, then the Chargers were raped in the reg. season game.

justnzane Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Tough call but could have gone either way. at that point the officials should put away the flags. :wallbash: Crap like this makes the NFL tough to watch sometimes. Don't let refs decide games like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowgirlsFan Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Jauron would have defered the kickoff, thats why. Or worse yet maybe the overtime!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcali Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I wonder how many still think the Chargers were not worthy to be IN this game because the Patsies had a better w/l record? hey the Bills coulda beaten(i said coulda not woulda) the colts if they had them at home(I'd have given it about a 20% chance). So I still believe the chargers weaseled in. However, they were really 9-7 hochulicough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they were really 9-7 hochulicough Yeah it's like saying the garbage bubble team that got in the NCAA's deserved it because they won their 1st round game. I mean you either deserve a postseason birth based on reg. season performance or you don't and the Chargers really didn't. But whatever, at least everyone knows the rules ahead of time unlike March Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a nice job against the pass, but couldn't come close to stopping the run. It's amazing how that thing breaks down at critical points of the game, especially when Manning can't protect it with 30 points a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 A receiver was definitely in the area. Isn't that all that counts? I believe that the ball also must travel to or past the LOS for it not to be intentional grounding, but I could be wrong. I also don't recall that pass as being anything more than an attempt not to get sacked--no realistic chance of completion..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
