What Is The Most Questionable Call/Situation This Weekend In The Playoff Games?

Big Bear · 01-13-13, 08:27 PM

I say the Falcons second half collapse.

They were up by 20 late in the 3rd quarter....

That was the worst beat i have ever encountered. it just does not get any worse than that...

i was flying soooo high in the best mood ever i was about to triple my bankroll

And then to see that shit...

cant believe Atlanta gave Russel Wilson so much time in the pocket

Me2 bugbear

This type of thing happens so much though in college and NFL. The old ice the kicker and he misses it and then makes it the second time was icing on the cake

easyliving · 01-13-13, 08:30 PM

Its the penetrating playoffs and your still trying to come up with conspiracy theories?

Covy · 01-13-13, 08:40 PM

Broncos D giving up 70 yd TD with less then a minute left

or

Making Peyton kneel the ball.

DirtyBird1500 · 01-13-13, 09:38 PM

Most questionable call was probably anyone thinking the Seahawks would win.

InTheDrink · 01-13-13, 09:41 PM

this is a joke right?

ravens won on a fukkin prayer....total embarrassment for denver

nothing is close

eastern2 · 01-13-13, 09:42 PM

Mike smith calling a TO with 13 secs left in game to attempt fg - obv shoulda let clock go to 3 secs - can u imagine what woulda happened if Seattle got in fg range or caught the Hail Mary bc of that blunder?

eastern2 · 01-13-13, 09:42 PM

Or fathead McCarthy not being prepared for the read option...

pavyracer · 01-13-13, 09:44 PM

Seahawks not stopping the choker Matt Ryan from getting them into FG position and winning the game in 17 seconds was a questionable decision by the coach of Seahawks.

Raven66 · 01-13-13, 09:45 PM

Seattle should have kicked that FG instead of going 4th and 1.....Seattle would have won......

DirtyBird1500 · 01-13-13, 09:46 PM

so they knew this in the first half?

and it wouldnt have impacted the rest of the game?

Raven66 · 01-13-13, 09:49 PM

Im just saying when your that close u kick for points. Anyways it dont matter Seattle lost

Sport_Fish · 01-13-13, 09:51 PM

I don't know about the most questionable one but we can all agree that the most stupid one was the timeout Seahawks took right before that last field goal, allowing Bryant a free kick to size up

and what do u know, fkn drills it on his next kick

yeah i almost broke my tv when Atlanta didnt even take a shot at the endzone there at the end

pavyracer · 01-13-13, 09:56 PM

It was a suck ass job by Pete Caroll.

1. He calls an unnecessary timeout on Falcons FG kicker who is 35 year veteran and always clutch.
2. So when he gets the ball back at 45 yard line he can't throw in the middle of the field to get in FG range and use the time out he spend before to stop the clock.

tshafer117 · 01-13-13, 10:06 PM

Why do people insist that Matt Bryant missed that field goal? I mean he did miss the first attempt but he was interrupted by numerous whistles and I doubt a free kick that missed help him I think he would of made the first attempt if the whistles weren't going off as he kicked it

hindsight is 20/20

as scoring seems to be going up and up ive tended to think teams need to be more aggressive going for it on 4th and short to try to get a td instead of a fg

i didnt have a problem with them going for it....the problem there was the play call...why the fuk wouldnt lynch get it 10 times out of 10?

If the Seahawks had tried to throw the ball over the middle with 6 seconds left, to try and make the catch, get significant yardage, give yourself up, then call the timeout that would be far dumber. No way that happens in 6 seconds.

The Broncos for sure. Epic screw up. As for the Seahawks game, I don't know about some of you, but I don't think the damn kicker should be allowed a freeroll. In other words, they should not be allowed a practice kick. Golfers are not allowed to practice a put before hitting their put that counts.

Or maybe Carroll shouldnt have called a timeout?

frostno98 · 01-13-13, 10:48 PM

I think Carroll f..k up by scoring too quickly because the Falcons had two time outs and only needed a long field goal to win. I think he should of brought it down to 20 seconds before trying to score.

No, but the other golfers aren't allowed to call a timeout before the guy attempts his putt either.

steady hustlin · 01-13-13, 10:51 PM

Agree with last two posts. But I still want to argue about that rule. Oh well, lots of rules I would change about the NFL. That thing where the coach doesn't get a challenge if he throws the flag on something that is supposed to be automatically reviewed is asinine too.

Down by a touchdown you score when you have the best opportunity. Overthinking it and trying to run off extra seconds in that situation would be stupid.

What about when the coach calls the TO right as the ball is snapped? Is the kicker supposed to stop every time and check to make sure a TO wasnt called? How do you ever enforce something like that?

steady hustlin · 01-13-13, 11:58 PM

That's a good point. It is incumbent upon the referee's to make it clear to the players that the play has been blown dead. In these situations it often seems to me that the kicker knows it won't count. The way the falcons kicker hit his first one today seemed consistent with this observation. He knew he had a freebie. If there is a whistle and the kicker strikes it I might suggest it be a penalty. I understand that this case is weaker than the one you are making since if what I am advocating were adopted there would constantly be apprehension on the kicker's part and he may end up not kicking because he heard a whistle that was not blown or kicking because he did not hear the whistle/observe the ref and consequentially incuring his team a penalty. So, there does not appear to be realistic solutions to this problem. Like you said, "how do you ever enforce something like that?"

Jonah · 01-14-13, 12:05 AM

So many...

Would prob say the mile high bomb if I wasn't rooting against them.
Patriots kick-off team. Seriously - wtf? Had Texans tt under and feel like it would not have been close if it weren't for those. I was counting on some long fg drives by Houston for under as well

The first Seahawks fourth and 1. I usually am all for going for it, but in that situation I felt Seattle just needed to gain some/any control and they would be on their way. Truly felt at that point 3 or 7, did not matter.and then giving it to your fullback on fourth and 1. I've seen more fullbacks get stuffed on fourth and 1 than I care to remember. That is 80's football right there.

NYCWinner · 01-14-13, 12:12 AM

Maybe it's not the most questionable call. It may of caused Seattle the game though. It's Pete Carroll trying to ice the kicker from the game winning FG. And then he was frantically questioning who called the TO after the kicker kicked it anyway and missed. Obviously Carroll himself called it captured on video. It was kinda funny lol. And it just shows he has no integrity at all. I like the way he coaches and his enthusiasm , but he is pretty scummy.
