major vent
remember when i mentioned hating Tampa area sports teams? well this just drives it home for me. there was an extremely controversial call made that reversed a TD scored by Detroit that would have won them the game. there was no evidence shown from any angle that could rightfully say whether the receiver was inbounds when he gained possession & control of the ball so by all rights the original call should have stood. Tampa got very lucky. period. yet all i hear are announcers & local fans spouting off about what a great game the Bucs played & how the call was the right one & the Bucs are 4-0.
SUCK IT UP. admit that that was a mess of a game. acknowledge that you're undefeated against one of the easiest schedules EVER. and basically you didn't look that impressive against the Lions yesterday. you just plain old got lucky. at least when the Patriots go out & play like poop, i am fan enough to admit that they didn't deserve to win even though i'm thrilled that they did.
hmph.
1 with their own thoughts:
The Bengals got lucky with a call like that too. The QB for the Texas Houstons, I believe it's Carr, was throwing the ball, his hand was around the ball and it was going foreward, and Justin Smith from the Bengals hit his shoulder and he coughed up the ball. His arm was moving foreward and he had his hand on the ball up to and after he was hit, he just didn't get a good throw.
The ball hits off of two people, lands on the ground, and then a Bengal falls on it and the refs call it a fumble recovery, which it wasn't. I mean, the Bengals are my team and I could see it was wrong.
So there was a challenge and the refs got to watch the clip and the more they showed the replay the more it was obvious that it was an incomplete pass. I mean, there wasn't really anything saying it was a fumble. And the refs came back and said the play stands, it's a fumble recovered by the Bengals.
Sometimes the Refs make bad calls. And then sometimes they get a chance to make good what they screwed up, and they totally fail.
