SCREWED OVER!

Seattle Slew · 11-23-08, 11:26 PM

No way he was missing that kick. We all knew game was over inside the 35.

etothep · 11-23-08, 11:26 PM

Turner is as much to blame with that quick TO before their own FG attempt. It's like he wanted to give Manning an extra 20 secs to work with

that kick shouldn't have matterd. This game ended when the officials ****ed them in the 3rd quarter on three straight ridiculous calls.

Hose job, mother****er of all hoses!

Congrats refs on keeping golden boy Manning's season alive.

riggs · 11-23-08, 11:43 PM

Just another horrible game in terms of officiating, let the guys play. If there's an obvious call, call it. These officials have made themselves way too big a part of the game. On every play now I think there's going to be a flag thrown or a whistile blown to f*** up the game.

The Giants/Cardinals game might have been even worse today, if you saw that one.

Worst year ever for officiating in the NFL.

AC1318 · 11-23-08, 11:47 PM

The pro games are all fvcking fixed I said it before. I need to keep off pro football. All other sports had people jammed up for cheating in the recent years, soon enough it will come out for the NFL but it won't matter as no one is getting a refund. I must say though it is good to be on the right side of the fix when it does occur in your favor, and even if it isn't fixed human error by poor officiating will make or break you or your TV.

etothep · 11-23-08, 11:48 PM

How bad has the officiating been this season?

Mike Pereira, the NFL's vice president of officiating, had to make a public statement assuring the public that NFL games aren't fixed.

I don't believe NFL games are fixed, but I'm just curious how bad the refs that are turned down from becoming an NFL referee are

icemantbi · 11-23-08, 11:52 PM

I had the Bolts -2.5, and I knew the game was over for me after those two bogus PI penalties, especially the 2nd one that was clearly a phantom call. The refs kept that Indy drive alive, which resulted in a TD.

VERY GOOD POINT

I thought it was interesting also how the refs were quick as hell to give Indi that 1st down with 20 seconds left or so when the receiver was clearly a yard short and then I still think they gave Harrison a great spot (imo), and they got that ball up there real fast! It sure makes ya wonder...

Nevertheless it was a tough beat that could have went either way.

I believe it resulted in a fg...which even after the phantom call they shouldn't have had a chance at. SD stripped the ball but refs blew it dead right away.

I'm not a believer of nfl fixes but I have never saw this much horrible reffing ever. Just terrible this year...seems I am always on the wrong side of this shit too. Just need to stop watching these games. This definitely isn't the same game I grew up loving...on top of this you get ridiculous roughing the qb call after roughing the qb call.

That great spot gave Indy tons of time to think about their 4th down play call while reviewing (everyone knew it was short)...even got a great spot after review to make it look like it wasn't that bad of a call on the field.

They were gonna spot that guy a first-down without even discussing a replay, and it was the closing minutes of the game! WTF...how could it be more obvious? I'm ****ing boiling right now, I'm ready to ****ing break something

NFL is rigged, I keep saying it yet ppl dont believe me....

unit1884 · 11-24-08, 12:20 AM

So....

What you guys like for tomorrow? MNF = NFL Rigjob Special

Saints -1 looks like the rigged side (65% of public on GB

)

I'm ridding the Pack (ML)

I'm hearing 80% is now on GB. Out of 60,000 bets, 80% is now on GB. I'm still sticking with GB though, as f***** up as this game was I cant bet on the Saints.

Saints: OUT: RB Aaron Stecker (IR), TE Jeremy Shockey, DE Charles Grant (IR), DT DeMario Pressley (IR), ILB Mark Simoneau (IR), CB Mike McKenzie (IR), CB Tracy Porter (IR), K Martin Gramatica (IR).

Green Bay just beat the f*** out of Chicago 37-3, GB is finally healthy (with the exception of ILB Nick Barnett), Rodgers is throwing darts down the field, and Grant is running all over teams. The Packers have one weakness, their run defense up the middle, but the Saints don't have a rushing attack. Deuce McAllister and Pierre Thomas are worthless. Reggie Bush is coming off an injury and sucks running the ball anyway!

I'm ridding the Pack (ML)

I don't think this game was rigged. Not saying I don't believe NFL is rigged in general. Just bad officiating. Keep in mind that last I checked, 71% of the public bet on Colts on Sunday Night Football. If it's rigged, it should have gone the other way. Either way,

. Stupid timeout call with 1:35 sec left.

unit1884 · 11-24-08, 12:58 AM

Doesnt matter, if enough money goes on the Pack, NFL will rig this game...

Dont bet any public lines (ie Spreads), just tease or bet some props

NFL, get this shit under control!!! These officials screw these ****ing games up!!

I agree!! NFL- Not F***n Legit

Albinorhino · 11-24-08, 03:48 AM

The NFL (The National Fixed League). I was on Indy ML, I didn't even watch the game to see the calls you guys are talking about but I am not surprised at all. I will be on GB ML for MNF.

Mr Handicapable · 11-24-08, 11:58 AM

I'm from Indy and that one FG drive was setup by a couple of weak calls but we're still talking about a tie game and Norv would find a way to lose!! Actually SD came out like a demon in the 2nd half and went right down the field until Rivers stood there and let Mathis strip him instead of covering up and eating the ball! That cost them atleast 3 right there and changed all the momentum! If Norv uses Sproles like the Jets use Leon Washington then they win the game. The league isn't fixed and those shit calls didn't even cost San Diego the game last night!

nick2060 · 11-24-08, 12:52 PM

yea i watched the game and there was definitely pass interference on the one call, i remember they showed the guy grabbing his jersey from behind, and i forgot what the second one was, and there was no clear fumble man, honestly now this pittsburgh game is gonna be everybodies card for when they lose a bet, everybodies jus gunna say they got screwed by the refs....well they'll say it more then they already do

Spoon · 11-24-08, 12:59 PM

I came out a nice winner with a Colts victory!

The way I see it is that these referees made up for their colleagues you called the pathetic Pitt – Chargers game (13 – 1 penalties) and cost me a lot of marbles.
