I'd also say GB never scores a TD without help from the refs, so while this play gets all the attention, it is not why GB lost the game.
Why can't that play be overturned? If that's the case, why even review it? All questionable scoring plays are reviewed, and it was quite clear that it wasn't a TD. Therefore I don't see how it couldn't have been overturned.
That missed call clearly determined the outcome of the game. I know you love it, being a Bear fan. But that's truly embarassing.
Oh, and not to mention, the offensive PI that was missed on the play as well. Bottom line, the refs wanted to walk out of the stadium alive, so they called it a TD and stuck with it.
Yeah, what was the damn point of reviewing it if they couldn't reverse it. FWIW, I found the PI penalty on Shields when it was 1st and 35 far more horrible as Rice pushed off and Shields did nothing.

What an awful fucking call to end a game and give it to the Seahawks. They really need the regular refs back.
One guy (rightfully) calls an int. The other guy calls a TD. They go with the TD and GB loses.
There were close to 25 penalties in this game combined. Not only are most of the calls wrong, they're making this stuff unwatchable.

The whole thing with Harbaugh pissed me off. Pretty sure he knows the rules at this point, and he was totally taking advantage of the replacement officials.
For sure. A classless act by a sore loser, at that point it was very apparent that we had won the game
I thought that about him last year when he got into that little spat with Jim Schwarz over the handshake. The 49ers have a good team but I find Harbaugh to be far more annoying than his brother.
Darelle Revis out for the year with an ACL tear.
I can't believe the Saints are 0-3. I picked them in a survivor league and got KO'd since they lost. They look headed for a top 10 pick.
Not sure what to think about Lions-Vikings this week. From what I saw, the Lions secondary is very very suspect and if they're not getting pressure from the front four they are getting shredded.
And that explanation about the fourth down play still sounds dumb as hell. Somebody screwed up there I just don't know who.
#1094 Re: The Garden » 2012 NFL Season » 737 weeks ago
Can't complain about the Titans being boring this week. Five plays of 60+ yards for TDs. Giving up two touchdowns to the Lions in 38 seconds or so at the end of the game. Botching up the last hail mary play.
And of course the end of the game where Schwarz passed up the tying FG attempt for a forth down qb sneak only to have the QB fumble.
Chris Johnson is still a worthless POS and should be cut tomorrow.
I think you're underating Arizona though. Their defense is legit and Kolb didn't do anything stupid to cost them the game today. Vick is a turnover machine this year.
Only caught the end of both CBS late games. Houston almost blew the lead and Pittsburgh couldn't stop the pass in the 2 minute drill.
Bills are down to their 3rd string rb since Spiller got a shoulder injury.
It's funny how you can pick out the teams with the really garbage defenses.
WAS, TEN, DET, CIN, CLE, NO and maybe CAR have all suspect defenses at best.
The Vikings managed to upset the 49ers at home. And the replacement refs still suck.

Complete lack of focus and disciplin in Dallas and it's been that way since Parcells left.
They've been kind of like the Raiders of the NFC in that they always seem to shoot themselves in the foot with dumb penalties.
Bryant and Kenny Britt are similar WRs. Should be dominating but injures and off the field issues are major problems.
I have a feeling that The Rams are going to make a play for Barkley. Fisher has a hard on for all things USC, Bradford isn't his guy... They have a shitload of picks to work with. I think it could happen, especially if Bradford has a down year and gives them an excuse.
Replace the Rams with the Titans and I think this could happen especially if Adams cleans house. This team is the worst in the NFL. They've lost games by 21 and 28 points.
Locker's contract isn't really expensive at all since it got capped. That being said, I'm not sure they get the #1 overall pick. And I certainly don't want to sit through a miserable 2 or 3 win season.

The good news is that the bluray of the first film is being released on Nov 13. I haven't seen the first one since I saw it in the theater in 1989.

He's doing better now and tout'ed a photo of himself. I hope he gets better. That was really scary as you could hear some of it on air.
FWIW, I've been watching some mid90s WWF stuff and Lawler was gold in them. He just started dropping cultural references left and right. It annoyed the heck out of Vinnie Mac. It is far better than his more noticable late 90s-early part of the decade stuff with Jim Ross.
I always enjoyed his 1993 feud with Bret Hart. He played such a great villan in that feud. I can't leave out the late 90s ECW feud as well. That one was well done too.
#1098 Re: Guns N' Roses » "Better" Video Discussion » 739 weeks ago
I didn't laugh at any point.
Frankly, an overall lazy and uninspired effort.
Yeah, I was bored watching this as well.
On another point, who blocked the video on the 1st or 2nd page? Was it actual GNR management or the same asshole who does it everytime?
#1099 Re: The Garden » 2012 NFL Season » 739 weeks ago
Fucking Demps... Fucking DEMPS!!!! You are no longer my break out player... Or secret weapon. Thanks a lot.
I don't care if the Dolphins suck this year, but please, if you're going to suck, suck it large. Get the first pick and get a crazy deal for Barkley. Then pick MINGO!
I have a feeling that The Rams are going to make a play for Barkley. Fisher has a hard on for all things USC, Bradford isn't his guy... They have a shitload of picks to work with. I think it could happen, especially if Bradford has a down year and gives them an excuse.
You've watched the man coach before. You know his MO. He'll overachieve with shitty/mediocre teams and underachieve with good/great teams. He get between 6-8 wins out of the Rams. That'll put their pick in the 8-16 range. Now the real question is whether or not the Redskins will stink enough for the Rams to get enough ammo to trade for the top pick. More likely Fisher will just take the best available OT. They don't really need a DE. And I can't for the life of me see him spending a Top 10 pick on a WR.
Chris Johnson is absolutely worthless. I can't wait for the Titans to jettison his ass after the year. The Titans haven't beat SD ever. The last time the franchise won in SD was in 1990 when they were known as the Houston Oilers. I'm not feeling real good about their chances since Ryan Matthews practiced in pads today and their run D stinks.
And I started Cutler today in my FF league over Matt Stafford.:headbang:
Last comment/question: Why does Mario Williams seem to get injured so much? I've read that he has a wrist injury now.

Nice to see Punk blade last night.
Is it me, or do you think Lawler was really pissed about the "nobodies" comment? I ost all respect for Lawler when I found out that he poured real whiskey in Jake The Snake's face when they had that angle and Jake was legit trying to go straight. I've always heard Lawler is a big prick.
This is slightly off topic but Lawler is the only one of the commentators who will leave WWE if Vince tries to yell at him through the headset. He likes the job for the money and will leave if Vince ever tries to pull that shit on him. FWIW, I've read that JR is a prick in real life as well.
Triple H will always be popular. Brock is popular cause he's new and fresh. One loss and his momentum dies. He doesn't have the chrisma or ability to carry stopry lines and Paul Heyman's shtick gets old. Nobody gave a shit when Brock fought Cena either. It was Triple H who made the Lesnar vs HHH match appealing.
I'm suprised that you are such a staunch supporter of the guy. Does HHH still have as much charisma now (in the ring and out of it)? I can tell you what his promos are going to be without watching the show. He's been saying the same stuff for the last 5-10 years to be honest and you can basically predict what he's going to say. In the ring, he's gotten really slow and lumbering. Not to mean his usual annoying habit of inserting himself into hot angles just for the hell of it like killing the CM Punk angle with the entire stupid Kevin Nash storyline.
Now if you were talking about HBK I'd totally agree.
I think the Lesnar Vs HHH angle still has legs, I think it's good Brock went over and this can easily be progressed to Brock going through another guy or two saying he's destroyed everyone blah blah and then faces Taker at Mania who beats the big bad monster who can't be beaten at Wrestlemania.
Other option would be Punk retains until Rumble, loses to Rock. Have Cena Vs Rock II at mania cause Cena wins rumble. Have Taker Vs Lesnar and have Punk Vs Austin. HHH can I dunno, maybe have a retirement match against Flair at Mania OR have him feud with Vince for some reason for the company.
Lots of options available, but Triple H not being on the product isn't going to lead to a decline he wrestles one match every 4 months as it is currently. He's already pretty much off the product.
HHH vs Lesnar rematch is rumored now to take place at Wrestlemania. Cena is supposed to face Undertaker now.
They won't have an Austin returns match and a Rock match at Wrestlemania 29. If Austin returns, I see him at Wrestlemaina 30. Just more money to be made that way.
