Champ Bailey

[Hail2em]

I have to post this, Bailey read the play very well but the kind of guy I want on my team is the tight end from New England. He never quit on the play and chased down Bailey from a 100 yards. Yeah it might have been at an angle but he chased him down and never quit on the play...hats off to him.

Poor Bailey was exhausted. But yes, those are the kind of guys that you want on your team - ones with a never say die attitude. I think we have some of those guys playing on our team right now. Can't wait till FA and the draft to see who we acquire.

Dude Bailey got destroyed!

[Daseal]

Bailey shouldnt have ever held the ball like that, it was a nice play till then (even though he almost lost the ball to that RB early on because of holding it one handed. Ben Watson = the next D. Green?

I can't even watch that game. In light of today's loss, I'm not going to watch any more games this weekend. I'm in a state of total mourning.

Don't allow our loss affect your weekend plans to the existent that you avoid watching some of the best performances in the playoffs in a long time. Yeah, I'm dissppointed, but when we go the Superbowl I want to have enough arsenal on offense that when one goes down, another steps right in and doesn't miss a step. That's what we have to have in order to defeat the best of the AFC teams which we haven't done in a long time. But I feel your pain.

So, on a fumble, the goalline does not extend into infinity; the ball has to come across between the pylons? Seems to me that, if not, that was definitely a touchback.

I wanted us to draft him, but I am very happy we went with Cooley.

New England really got screwed in this one, and that return by Bailey was a touchback, but after seeing that pass interference call go against the Pat's at the end of the first half I knew there was no way that call with Bailey was going to be reversed. Pretty tough 2 TD's and the ref's blew them both.

I think it can be reasonably deduced that the ball went through the endzone but there wasn't indistputable evidence that it. Or even close. The best that could be done was to spot the landing of the ball and the release point and draw a line like they did on TV(not very well but at laest they tried). I don't think that method is in the indisputable evidence category. Maybe wrong call but right on the replay as far as the rules.

The thing was as soon as I saw it happen I said touchback because it looked like a no brainer, so whichever way the ref ruled it it was going to stand, it looked like to me they didn't even consider it. once I saw the replay I knew it was a touchback, but I also knew they wouldn't overturn it, but it was a touchback.

The only thing I could say is his foot hit the pyllon and the ball was to his right in the field of play, it was a simple deduction but I knew it would stand.

I think the biggest beef NE had that game was a similar call the skins have been on the bs side of the past couple years in that bogus PI call on Samuels.

That joke of a call gave Denver 10 point's in the final 2 minutes.

Yeah i agree. They blew the initial call assuming they were even in position to make it. Was anyone even at the goal line is a good question.

I HATE to think that Bailey left us because we weren't a winning team and he's now on a team that is going to the AFC Championship. Hopefully, the Colts will win tomorrow and spank the living hell out of the Broncos at the RCA Dome.

I can't hate on Champ Bailey for wanting out of what he viewed as a bad situation. He was in Washington for six seasons and saw four different head coaches. He was one of the elite players at his position, and when a deal came along that he liked, he took it. He went to a winning team that had a shot at the playoffs. And it's not as though he's just tagging along for the ride. He's actually helping them win. I'm happy for him.
