NFL Playoffs 2015/Super Bowl XVIX

Post by Schlich »

Watching the cardinals-panthers game. As much as I'm glad replay exists, it really messes with the flow of the game when (for example) refs will call a fumble as the "safe" call and just use replay as what is essentially a refereeing crutch, since they can just overturn it.

I'd rather them get the call right for sure, I just wonder if there isn't a better way to handle this.

The AZ Cardinals have to be regretting not picking up a serviceable scrap heap QB/game manager. Should have done 2 weeks ago. This guy is terrible.

It was dumb for Pitt to go for 2 down 20-15, balt kicked a fg and Pitt is down by 8 not 7.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time getting excited for any of these games. Maybe Cowboys-Lions will be decent.

Lots of good storylines for the sports media to run into the ground over the next week. The Ice Bowl, Manning vs. the Colts, and the Ravens-Patriots recent matchups in the playoffs.

How the hell did the refs drum up the logic to reverse the interference call against the Cowboys? That was awful.
