Around the NFL: Week 8 (Dallas Week)

raven fans and radio personalities feel robbed ... seemed like a call the ref has to make imo.

i think the corner was off balance though and may have fallen without the tug from smith jr. but the corner was in a good spot playing the ball in the air, smith clearly tugged/pulled his jersey, and the corner fell.

either way, it was more the right call than the wrong call.

Let's hope so. It would fit well with all of the dubious characters on that team.

Smith clearly pushed off. Sure the CB flopped a bit but still, it was definitely OPI.

Yup. The Bengals fans would be screaming if it was called the other way or had been a no call. I watched it and it seemed pretty obvious to me. Ravens fans, however, are not known for their calm rational thought.

I thought there was some pushing off, but the CB had a hand on Smith too. It was the kind of call that could go either way and I wouldn't think it unreasonable. Now if I were a Ravens fan, I'd no doubt have a different view.

Both players had stopped on a poorly thrown ball by flacco (shocker), but yeah the cincy defender had a hand somewhere on the body of smith...incidental contact...he was not interfering with Smith going for the ball. Smith uses both hands, and gives a clear push to create space.

I think these silly p/i rules have alot of fans confused...i blame the league at this point

Chargers signed CB Richard Crawford, formerly of the Redskins.

The Bolts will hope Crawford provides an upgrade on outgoing Richard Marshall, but more so that Brandon Flowers and Jason Verrett get healthy soon.

tears flowing today
