The NFL opted for a 2 game suspension, the Ravens did nothing to punish Rice. Then the Ravens went on the 'Janay is sorry for her role in this!' bullshit parade.

Nothing more is needed. Everything else is noise. If that first video wasn't enough to make you realize 2 games was not enough then you're... well, you figure it out.

I heard Biscotti deny that. I heard him apologize that he "should have tried harder" to get a copy of the tape. I can't say that I found him convincing.

I'm talking about the original video that came out shortly after the incident before rice was suspended initially. Everyone had that video.

Yup, sorry, I misread. My bad.

I couldn't help but think of this clip when I watched the press conference.

Yes sir they are. Im not much of a Cutler fan every time I watch him play all i can see is Jeff George. But the dude has an absolute cannon for an arm.

These refs are horrible. Fumble by Cutler should have been a TD, but dumbasses blew the whistle way too early.

This is awful. They are ruining this game. What a joke. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...fore-halftime/

The officiating is the worst its been in a very very long time. Damn shame the fans and media focus seems to be the ray rice/ap story.

Inconsistent calls, wrong calls, bullshit helmet to helmet/defenseless receiver calls, too many flags, bullshit pass interference calls, etc. its a horrible product goodell has put on the field. garbage

I agree. Although complaining about officials is as old as football itself, the refs seem especially bad this year. They keep botching basic stuff.

As much as i hate the 49ers and love to watch them lose, they have some grips over a couple of those calls this past weekend. Directly lead to their loss.

I like Trico and Gruden last night flat out calling out the refs saying they missed on a flags. The announcers should call out the refs and league when its this bad. The Jets got screwed on some bad calls last night in the first half. Pass interference, holding call in the red zone and the call at the end of the half denying the touchdown. I hate the Jets, but hate watching crap football where the refs are too much part of determining the outcome of the game. its gone too far.

The thing that is bothered me most is getting the replays wrong
Out of the games I've watched there has been at least one replay in every game where the announcers and everybody else think the call should go one way and then the refs call it the other way and the guy on TV who used to be a ref says they got the call wrong

This is becoming an everyday event. What amazes me is the Refs need to use more discretion and should only call the blatant spearing and dangerous play. Not incidental stuff.
The other thing that is unfair is if you are going call defense players for leading with the crown of their helmet, you have to call the offensive player as well. LeSean MCCoy's run that he hurt himself on, he put his head down and he initiated the contact. He was trying to punish the ball carrier.
