I see you took the over in the Stamps - Riders game jstew. The spread was Stamps -5.5 so that late rouge by Paredes made the Stamps a winner both on the field and at the betting window.

/congrats on the wager

/or too much action

Once again the officials did everything they possibly could to give the Steelers the win. That holding call to take away a TD was PATHETIC. There were so many instances in which Steelers lineman did much worse & nothing was called. We know the officiating is bad when the commentators are saying bad calls were made. WHAT A JOKE!!

It was terrible...just a terribly officiated game. That hold was the worst of it. But yeah, I just viewed it as a "Sorry we sucked last week" gift.

The issue I have with that is that the Steelers still won last week despite the horrible officiating.

With the exception of the Green Bay vs. Seattle game earlier this season I'm not going to blame the refs for costing a team the game (KC in this case)...but KC is bad enough on their own, they don't need the refs against them too.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

And yet...the replay officials allowed this one to stand

Yeah, I thought for sure it would be ruled a fumble, and the Panthers would get the ball on the 20 yard line.

I was laughing at him till I saw that the TD actually counted.

NFL issued the statement saying that the officials screwed it up. Wouldn't have mattered because Carolina was so out-classed in that one anyhow.

Still good of the NFL to acknowledge the error. I doubt the NHL would be that forthcoming (very hesistant to acknowledge errors from either on-ice or off-ice officials)

Risk CA$ 25.29 to win CA$ 2392.71 [/I]

nice!!!

(does Mrs Jstew know?)

 

[jstewismybastardson]

nice!!!

(does Mrs Jstew know?)

Mrs jstew is a cga, does our budget and keeps me on a very tight leash

upon hearing of the winnings she announced I was off the hook for tiling the front entrance hallway of our house and we will be using an actual tiling contractor to do the area ... which will save my back so i gladly said thank you and promptly ate the gruel she slapped onto my dog dish

she also made plans to visit her sister in law in seattle next weekend for xmas shopping and possibly looking for a new dishwasher so i could be wrong but i think the winnings got spent

meanwhile my brother is flying to London for 2 weeks to watch 5 soccer games live (including the Real Man City champs league game)


/I did buy a case of Canadian yesterday and got a great free Grey Cup tshirt though!!!

//Im not bitter

At least they got the incomplete forward pass call correct this week.



And isles, this game has nothing on the debacle last weekend against the ny midgets. That was quite possibly the worst officiated game, ever.

Wrong, that would be the Super Bowl the Steelers won against Seattle. Talk about giving a team a Championship. Just about everytime Seattle made a good play a penalty flag was thrown.

I'm beginning to believe the replacement Refs were better than these idiots.

give Seattle a touch down and a field goal, and they still lose. biggest play of the game was Parker's SB record setting td run to lead off the second half.

at the end of the day, it's just more ineptitude by the officials, like in every game.

Disagree. There is a Seattle article the day after the game breaking down all the calls and basically only one was flagrantly wrong (the 15-yard illegal block, which didn't affect the score anyway). All the rest were judgement calls (Ben at the goal line, offensive holding) or correctly called (the offensive PI push-off).

I'm beginning to believe the replacement Refs were better than these idiots.

Agreed. There have been so many games called (and even reviewed) poorly this year, both with replacement refs and without. There is no excuse for it.

Is it too much to ask for the officials to let the players play since they can't call it fair for both sides? Officials shouldn't be deciding football games period.

It's not about fair for both sides. They don't keep score on how much for or against their calls go against team A compared to team B.

They just flat out can't do their job error free. It's always been like that, and it always will be. I admit that immediately following a game i like to believe there is some conspiracy, but I then remember the last time a ref blew a call... which is usually just the last game I watched

 

[pixburgher66]

What's really terrible is that they're blowing reviews this year too. YOU'RE WATCHING IT ON REPLAY. How can you get that wrong? The concept of needing indisputable evidence is lost on me. Make the right call.

What I don't understand is we can watch the play on TV & see the play clearly, while an official can have the same play right in front of him & get it wrong.

Yeah, though I would prefer also an announcement that the replay official has been suspended for next week or something as punishment for screwing up so bad.
