All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Could've went both ways, but the grab of the jersey, did make a legitimate call. I think the fact that they both were guilty should've been a no call, but i'm obviously biased.
If you walk with Jesus today, you don't have anything to worry about tomorrow...
mckelvin was getting pushed by rodney white all during the first half. every time the ball arrived, mckelvin's coverage would get shot from a push in the back. no call.
at some point, as a db, you have to take that as a queue to just play and see where the chips may fall....and guess what, the refs decided to get technical at the end, the opposite of how they conducted themselves earlier.
That Falcon TD drive was directly aided by this penalty, AND the "illegal touching" penalty a few snaps earlier on Aaron Williams 23 also kept the Falcons drive alive - the replay showed clearly that Aaron Williams wasn't even touching ANYONE!! And the commentators were like "WTF??" like both Marrone and Aaron Williams.
And did anyone watch last night's Giants/Redskins game? The officials made an enormous mistake with under 2 minutes to go in the half. The officials awarded a 1st down to Washington.... when it should have been 3rd and inches. They moved the chains and changed the Downs Markers to "1". So the Redskins call a 1st and 10 type pass play, which is incomplete. THEN the officials made it FOURTH DOWN!! Shanahan went ballistic, which you can't blame him. If a mistake is made, once the ball is snapped, that should be IT! That huge gaffe could have well changed the outcome of the game. IF the officials were going to try and "make it right" then go back to 3rd and inches!
When is the NFL actually going to get full-time professional officials and get beyond rinky-dink part-timers? All the billions spent on stadiums and rosters, etc, and what, they're trying to save a few thousand on Obamacare by keeping the officials under 30 hrs? A guy driving a taxi today shouldn't be an official tonight, IMHO!
Both receiver and Robey were physical with each other. Probably should not have been called, but when the Atlanta player's jersey got stretched out, it was probably a little more obvious to the official. The comment on Roddy White is interesting considering there is some sentiment to draft Mike Evans to play receiver for the Bills. From what little I've seen, Mike evans whole game is about being physical with DBs in what appears to be borderline pass interference. If you find yourself in a game with officials who are calling the game closely, he could give you a bunch of offensive pass interference calls.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
He had the jersey, but when the ball is in the air, it is pass interference, not holding.
Now, how that ref could see the pull on the jersey is something I wonder about.
I wonder more about the 15 yard penalty on the play before. Why, on third and goal at th five when he got down to the 2 is the penalty assessed and gives them another down? They get the result of the play AND the down back.

I don't really see how the ref saw the hold on the collar anyway...White's back was to him, and the jersey didn't stretch that much.
Definitely PI, but considering the refs had been letting guys get away with **** like all game long, it was a piss poor time to finally decide to throw a flag.

It was the tangled legs that led to the receiver being taken out of the play.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
