Wild Card Weekend Gamethread

I suppose it's uncatchable when the defender is literally grabbing his arm.

What a terrible, terrible non-call

Wish Gillette was like seattle's stadium. I really think it helps in these games with the calls

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

It's two unsportsmanlike conduct the tget you ejected not personal fouls.

 

[Norm Siebern]

It's not catchable because he was tacked!

What a joke the WWE, uhm, the NFL is.

Detroit, getting screwed, again.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Boldin just caught that. Did the refs fuck up the ejection?

wasn't 2 unsportsmanlike conducts which is needed for an ejection, just 2 personal fouls.

 

[edmunddantes]

The now rarely called uncatchable, and this time on a ball that was very catchable if he wasn't interfered with on the play.

Do gophers steal women's rings to propose to their gopher girlfriends?

Dunno if they propose, but http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/482884-eyeballed-gold-ring-top-gopher-mound.html

The Oakland game had some brutal calls too. This is absurd.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Still waiting on that Boldin replay.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I hope NFL Films has audio on that refs' huddle.

I'm not a lip reader but I think it went something like: "Brad, we're not going to the Super Bowl after this , are we?" "No, guys, I don't think we are. That fucking Hochuli better not get it though."

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

BB is correct, all plays should be able to be reviewed. That uncatchable call was brutal.

 

[Tim Naehrings Girl]

Boldin just caught that. Did the refs fuck up the ejection?

They said it's two fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct and one was a personal foul which is technically different.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Joe West saved the 04 Red Sox calling slappys slap.

And West's team changed Bellhorn's "double" into a home run.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

That's a personal foul penalty in a playoff game?

 

[Norm Siebern]

There was the Bolden replay. Absurd.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a stupid fucking subjective ejection rule.

Second call on Boldin was weak.

 

[Moog]

Wait, *that* was the unsportsmanlike? Really?

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol none of the refs know

 

[Marciano490]

Haha Tavon. We knew ye.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Clear OPI

 

[Harry Hooper]

Looked like most of the Seattle OL left early on that screen pass but no call.

 

[Van Everyman]

It's really too bad Belichick buried him on the bench.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Have to wonder if part of the reason the officiating has been terrible in both games is because they break up the regular season crews and use mixed up groupings for the playoffs.

 

[johnmd20]

This Rawls kid is ok.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Have to wonder if part of the reason the officiating has been terrible in both games is because they break up the regular season crews and use mixed up groupings for the playoffs.

I've never understood this theory. Don't most penalties come down to the call of a single official?

Have to wonder if that is a part of the reason for other things too.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

This Rawls kid is ok.

Best playoff performance in the history of the NFL for a guy who was concussed twice in the game.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I've never understood this theory. Don't most penalties come down to the call of a single official?

Well some of the issues in game 1 was inconsistency, which can come from different crews having different feels on what should be let go. The worst one tonight was uncatchable, which could be a disagreement on what to call, or hesitancy to call something.

 

[teddywingman]

And West's team changed Bellhorn's "double" into a home run.

It is worth remembering how clutch that crew was on both those calls. Getting those right in Yankee Stadium pre-replay? Hats off to em.

 

[shawnrbu]

Caldwell must be thinking about his own 10 point teaser with that decision to punt.

 

[twibnotes]

It is worth remembering how clutch that crew was on both those calls. Getting those right in Yankee Stadium pre-replay? Hats off to em.

I still can't believe they got those calls right. I'm just old enough to have experienced 86, among other Red Sox setbacks, and we NEVER got those breaks/calls for so so long.

 

[johnmd20]

This is a rough day of football.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Stafford got curbstomped there.

 

[ilol@u]

Sherman has a bad habit playing off his receiver and trying to cover someone else's.

 

[Marciano490]

Best playoff performance in the history of the NFL for a guy who was concussed twice in the game.

Though stats weren't kept until 2013.

 

[Norm Siebern]

Best playoff performance in the history of the NFL for a guy who was concussed twice in the game.

I gave no idea how he is still playing. He has to think it is Tuesday morning.

 

[McBride11]

What a hit by TAVON THE ENFORCER!

 

[TheRooster]

It the league is deeply concerned about player safety.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Collinsworth is fucking awful.

 

[TheRooster]

It the league is deeply concerned about player safety.

*but

 

[DeadlySplitter]

In the end Detroit had no business winning this game, but refs made it a 2 possession final margin instead of 1.

 

[shawnrbu]

Collinsworth has the Beckham boat picture on his lock screen.

 

[Freddy Linn]

That ball was almost uncatchable.

 

[ilol@u]

RICHARSON. SICK.

 

[shawnrbu]

The +18 is about the only reason to still watch this one.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Ah yes, roughing the passer, blow to the shoulderpad of the quarterback.

 

[InstaFace]

they're not singing the praises of Tavon Wilson anymore.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

RICHARSON. SICK.

I will say. That was crazy.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

What was wrong with that? Shoulder, right?

 

[Norm Siebern]

Your kidding me! Hahahahaha.

Absurd.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Today's games were about as shitty as expected.

Weird. /insert Peter King pic
