I'm surprised that no one is talking about Duke Preston's hit on the ref....

It was hilarious! He took his hands and purposed shoved Jeff Triplett to the ground. If you missed it, watch the highlights here and go to the end where JP fumbles the ball. It happened right before the Jets got in the endzone with the football.

He even fell face first into the ground and his hat flew off!


sorry, but I've never been a big fan of Triplett and felt that the officiating was pretty crappy today.

The Bills lost a game to the Dolphins because of hit like that? Does anybody remember Pat Tomay?

Dude it was so obvious today that the refs were trying to get Bret and Co. the win. Obviously one or two of the guys on the ref squad weren't on board with the evil scheme but Triplett sure was. Duke will be suspended for that hit but his sorry ass excuse for an O-lineman just earned some cool points in my eyes.

On Favre's long INT Denney hit him in the head and it wasn't called.
Missed calls go both ways.

I don't know if he deserves a suspension because he actually had a line to the player and the ref was in the way.

Don't think I've seen a funnier play in the NFL than that.

It almost looks like Preston didn't know that he was pushing a ref. Either way, I bet he gets suspended for the rest of the year, without pay.

I'm shocked there wasn't a penalty on the play and ejection.

that's a tough call...obviously you can't push the ref (especially like that), but he was watching the game end before his eyes.

Denney's little hit wasn't really illegal. He was being held by the LT and it was incidental contact. Brett was "diving" so much the entire game, I thought he was in the NHL...

No crap Favre was taking so many dives it was getting ridiculous i said at one point in the game thats a 2 minute penalty.

It was great. The guy was in his way, and he didn't even think twice about it. He saw an opposing player with the ball running toward the end zone, and someone got in his way. He gave him a push. No big deal in my eyes.

As silly as it may sound, that ref needs to learn how to fall down. It's not like his hands were tied. (Were they?)

Except that was not a penalty.

The refs were fine today.
