Geoff Grace Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 It's true that the officiating was less than stellar last night, but I think the poor calls most likely averaged out. For example, remember the obvious pass interference that wasn't called against Miami, the non-call that gave the Dolphins back the ball and then the lead? The Steelers would have had great field position and probably at least 3 points from that drive. I agree that Pittsburgh benefitted from a bad call with a touchdown instead of first and goal; and while they most likely would have scored anyway, it wasn't assured. Woulda, shoulda, coulda it's a shame when fans have to play the "what if" game to figure out what the results would have been if the officiating had been better.

But then (like the 4th quarter) I think his best days may be about two years behind himi, and they might not be coming back.Daunte Culpepper just isn't Daunte Culpepper without Randy Moss and vice versa. Man, I miss that combo except when they played against Green Bay. Complaints aside, it sure is great to have football season back!

MikeT156 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 How 'bout them Steelers? Even I wasn't expecting a 3 TD performance by Charlie Batch. BUT, if my Steelers are any good, they have to compete with or without Big Ben. I think we're going to miss Randle L this season. I don't know if we have another player that can step up and made a couple of big plays on offense like him. Miami's coach was too sheepish when it came to throwing the challenge flag. He waited on the replay to be sure and it cost him. Miller was out of bounds. But then there was the non-call interference on Miami earlier in the game that would have made a difference. Steelers D stepped up in the 4th quarter. The biggest thing that hurt Miami was the lack of a running game. When you HAVE to put the ball up.....bad things happen. Mike T.

Magpel Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 ugh, Manning bowl was a good game. I feel a bit robbed by that offensive pass interference call against Tim Carter. Giants have the toughest schedule in the league this year, and that rating considers the Eagles to be a BAD team based on last years TO-addled, Donovan-less aberration. They need every win thay can scrape out, and I felt really good about their chances before that bogus call.

The better team lost. Giants did their share to lose it, esp. by dropping what would have been not 1 not 2 but 3 drive killing interceptions, but... Antimatter's dead on about one of the drive killing penalities against Burress too, but it's the Carter call that I'll hold on to. It was the difference between 1st and 10 on the 30 (with a ground game that had been chewing the colts up all night) and 3rd and 13 on the 9.

Magpel Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 One other thing: The Colts, whom I generally like, learned last night that they a)don't have a running game, and b)can't stop the run. They'd better improve pretty soon in both areas. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I heard some silly prognosticator on ESPN radio predict that the Bears are wildly overrated coming into this year and will only win 6 or 7 games, and I thought it was therefore worth going against the popular grain and seeing if I could score one of those really good pool wins. ha ha. Sorry, man. There's problems in GB and I for one wouldn't mind seeing Favre go to the first contender to lose a starting QB, as much for the Packers' sake as for Brett's.

Guitar55 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 This is my first post here, visiting from the Guitar Forum. The Giants looked great last night ....until the last few minutes.....it was like the "old" Giants showed up to finish the game. Regardless of the bogus interference call,Eli made a bad mistake tossing that ball up for grabs. Also, they really mismanaged the clock. I thought they should have spkiked the ball at the :07 point, composed themselves, then taken a shot for a long play. The defense generally played great, but how many times were they going to let Peyton step up and complete a 3rd down pass right up the middle to Harrison?? Answer: way too many. Yes, the Giants have a tough schedule, but they are at a place now where they should be able to compete with the best teams in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Originally posted by meccajay: Yeah those were some bad calls on NY last night. W3rd. That offensive interference call sucked....but I do understand given the ref's perspective that the fact that the defender fell right after the contact why the call was made. In all fairness though - no one caused Eli to throw that pick on the next play... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDragonSoun Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The Giants Offensive line looked very good last night. Very cohesive on both ruuning and passing ball. If they can maintain this consistency there going to be very difficult for team to play this year. You could say the same thing about the Colts line when they pass blocked. Their running game was horrible. Begin the day with a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive - Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicalaccents Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Well, despite the Dallas sports hater-filled forum...I'm not going to give in. Dallas lost to a very good team. I would say that Jacksonville is 1B in the AFC. 1A would consist of the Colts, Bengals, Steelers, & Patriots. Anyways, my view on the Cowboys hasn't changed. They are still a second round playoff team in my opinion. Terrell, T.O., and The Player had a nice debut and would of had a rout if Bledsoe would had made the throws. Terry Glenn should have scorched the Jags defense, but Bledsoe was running for his life in the 2nd quarter through the end of the game. It's time for the Italian sensation, Tony Romo, to hail as the next Brett Farve (of the old days). Let's see the DB's find a way to stop our receivers when our quarterback can actually scramble and make plays.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I like some Dallas teams. I'd like the Mavs a lot if not for Mark Cuban. I've just always disliked the Cowboys for the "America's Team" self-moniker. So I'm not a fan.
