[quote=HailGreen28;1104410]I thought the Dez call was fitting after last week's detroit game, and the RG3 TD in the giants game.

Why didn't the cowboys get called for 30 yds of personal fouls for arguing with the refs, like we did that giants game?[/quote]

The Cowboys didn't make/miss those calls. Every call is its own entity, especially when its a completely different game and teams.

And Redskins always get screwed, Indian burial ground curse.

Make up calls, karma, 2 wrongs make a right, etc., aren't how playoff games should be decided. Or any games for that matter.

I just hope some team offers Bryant so much money the Cowboys can't re-sign him. (outside of the division, preferably out of the conference).

Re: NFL divisional round thread.
 

That was a great catch AND a great throw by Romo{which is being way overlooked by the non catch}and another ballsy call by Garrett.But as soon as I saw the replay I thought it would be overturned,and it should have been,just like the RG3 call.Stupid rule,needs to be changed,but super glad it went against Dallas.

Lots of whining by Dallas fans,unbelieveable,especially after last week,plus their first td was setup by a bad pass int call.

Russell Wilson is the man,I cant believe people on here still doubt his greatness and call him a running qb,he's so far ahead of RG3 its not funny,its sad,very sad.
I would give up what we gave up for RG3 for Wilson right now no problem.

This is just perception. This year Redskins opponents had more penalties against them than any other teams opponent and we still couldn't do diddly squat with all that extra yardage.

Re: NFL divisional round thread.
 

I tell ya...yesterday I just felt so bad for Peyton. That was tough to watch...and it had nothing to do with his previous playoff record. He was seriously struggling to get the ball down field. Sux to watch a guy like that regress

Re: NFL divisional round thread.
 

Manning has nothing left the prove. He looked old and his arm is shot. Luck was making throws that Manning can no longer make. He should retire.

Re: NFL divisional round thread.
 

I hope Peyton retires. Otherwise next year will be hard to watch. I hope he leaves us with memories of a great QB, not a struggling old man (by NFL terms).

Re: NFL divisional round thread.
 

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1104405]That rule needs to be changed. He got another foot down and reached for the goal line. If that happened to Garcon we would all be crying foul. That call/rule ruined a great game.[/quote]

The fact that he was stumbling to the ground from the moment he landed is what makes this not a problem for me, its not like he landed safely took 3 steps and dove, he was going to the ground right from the jump, and tried to extend the ball and hit the ground moved, and when he rolled over lost the ball again. He never established himself as a runner and that's it. I have no issue with the rule.

Re: NFL divisional round thread.
 

ravens - got a late jump to work this morning. 2 things i noticed listening to the 10 am sports radio.

1- vinny is a bumbling idiot. the guy cant complete a sentence or connect thoughts.

2- some ravens fans want to draft winston and fire ozzie if he has a bad draft.

cowboys - tough way to go out. technically the right call. loved reading cowboyszone last night.

broncos - i give props to the FO and owner for making an all out push during the off season knowing it was super bowl or bust w peyton. it didnt work out but bronco fans have to thank the organization for making every effort.

great games, the seahawks were never in doubt.

really love the Div Champs matchups.

idk man, chuck pagano and co. have that defense playing better than their talent right now. kinda sucks to see landry out there playing FS for a playoff team. i know the whole history, why we let him walk etc (we dont need to go into that old news) .. but it still sucks since we havent been able to add even average talent at safety since.

the ravens got jobbed by the refs on those 3 odd substitution plays.

The ref was supposed to tell the D captain who reported as ineligible .. but the ref reported the wrong jersey number of the player who reported ineligible.

brady's smug "check the rule book" response was kinda .. smug. harbaugh wanted the refs to properly ID thr reported ineligible receiver .. which the refs werent doing and brady wasnt giving them time to get it right.

it was intentionally deceiving and for any pat to act like it wasnt designed to confuse the refs and opponent is not being honest.

like when tripplett saw that the down marker was wrong when we played the giants but didnt want to stop the game bc it would have been like a TO for the skins ... if a ref thinks something is wrong, they need to take control, stop the clock and correct it.

mark scherleth sd something i never heard of .... the injury report was only done bc of gambling so that gamblers will feel comfortable knowing they have relevant and the same info as all before placing a bet.

he also said the league only started explaining calls after the fact bc of gambling.

odd that the "integrity" of the game is only based on vegas and gambling and not .. idk .... trying to get it right for the sake of getting it right.

at least per scherleth ..

There are a slew of qb's that can look great with the coaching, defense, run game, oline, and home field that team has built around Wilson. Lets not discount that. In no way does Wilson carry that team on his back, but he is a really good qb.
Edit : put Luck, Rodgers,and a couple others on the Seahawks and nobody even is in a game with them.

I just dont think Indy is that good. I think Luck is well coached with meh results...Pagano is a great coach though. Even though Manning was injuried, like NCSkins said yesterday, Broncos defense didnt come to play. They were more pathetic than the offense.

Funny at work today all my ravens and cowboys fans want to talk about the NFL rule book.

So beast mode was bottle up saturday night outside that second half run...Wilson didnt lead the offense?

The arguement Wilson is a system qb, not good passer, cant carry the team, etc...is stale. Wilson is one of the best QB in the league, certainly top 10.

Defenses still have to pay attention to beast mode when he is on the field, and the oline and playcalling are superb. What Luck does with the Colts is amazing, what Wilson does with the Seahawks is expected.

I agree. Maybe they should use him less at the beginning of the season and save his energy for the back half of the season.

You can tell that his arm strength wasn't there yesterday for whatever reason.

edit: Now we know why his strength wasn't there. Torn quad muscle.

Peyton Manning initially tore his right quad Dec. 14 in win over Chargers, per sources. MRI back in Denver confirmed tear.[/B]

Re: NFL divisional round thread.
 

Jay Glazer says Peyton had injuries to both quads.

Re: NFL divisional round thread.
 

Manning had a season for the ages last year. At his age and with the injuries he probably should retire (probably) but anybody who thinks he just "lost it" overnight is crazy. When healthy he is the man.

That does not matter at all. Even if he had reached across the goal line, he still did not maintain possession through the act of hitting the ground, so it would have been an incomplete pass, not a touchdown. What he was "reaching for" has no bearing at all.

Good call according to current rules.

He only threw the ball 22 times, chill out. Wilson is good, but I would never put him ahead of Luck.

And no, Wilson cannot carry a team, [B]because he doesn't have to[/B]. And that will continue to be the case until Seattle's defense is no longer elite.

Maybe I am misinterpreting what you are saying but I disagree. There are plenty of QBs given the same team that wouldn't be able to do jack with it. Wilson is much better at reading the defense and making passes than he gets credit for on here. Plus he has shown improvement over his three years. I would never say he is as good as Luck, but he is definitely a second tier starter imo.

I would be shocked if Manning doesn't announce his retirement.

I've watched him over the past half of the season - and he has been absolutely dreadful. He has no arm strength left, he has been playing with a myriad of injuries, and last night, he just looked like an old man that had nothing left. There was all the jokes about Brett Favre, but IMO, Brett never sucked the way Peyton has for the last few weeks.

So i wonder ultimately if the Broncos are even kicking the tires on Peyton coming back one more year. Peyton is a competitor, and i have bet against him before and been wrong (returning from neck surgery) - so if Peyton wants to try and bring it one more year, I respect that. Maybe he is just hurt and banged up and an off season of rest and rehab will fix him. It's just shocking to have witnessed one of the greatest of all time suddenly reduced to below average.

As a younger football fan (30 years old), is this always the way it goes with once-great athletes? Do they just show up one day and it's gone, as seemed to be the case with Manning last night??

He was playing with a torn quad ,had his receivers helped him by getting some separation from the Colts DB's it might have been a better game ,Peyton doesn't play defense .

On an unrelated subject, this article had me laughing out loud (and wishing that we'd drafted Kam): [url=http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/1/11/7526995/kam-chancellor-seahawks-bad-man-smash-destroy-panthers]Kam Chancellor is a bad man - SBNation.com[/url]

My favorite part: "His feet don't touch the any players because halfway through that jump, he ascended into a higher plane of existence. He's now the divine Kam Chancellor. He ran into that jump the same way a DeLorean by a mad scientist goes back into the past. That's not the same Kam Chancellor who jumped and disrupted the kicker. He went back in time, found that kicker's great grandfather in a soccer field somewhere and destroyed him before coming back to put fear into his great grandson. They don't mention Kam's name in that kicker's household the same way Hogwarts schoolchildren don't say Voldemort."
