[walruswarrior]

What a crap job by these refs. The stadium letting the refs know what they think.

This crowd is awesome.

Agreed. I'm a Steelers fan so I hate both teams with a passion I had no bias, but wow was that bad

[Tony208]

I fully agree with you even as a Ravens fan. It seemed like the whole first half everything was going to Patriots way call wise then the second half it all went Baltimore.

So many bad calls, or missed calls, it was ridiculous.

EDIT: Holy crap, just watched the video on nfl.com, Belicheck ran on the field after the kick and physically grabbed the ref to try and stop him. That's gonna draw a huge fine. They penalized Harbaugh just for running on the field, physically grabbing a replacement ref is not going to bring down good things to BB.

[Hatter]

This just in, statistics show replacement refs are a doing a similar job the regular refs would have done.

Oh wait.

The stupid thing is this entire holdout on the NFL side is over 2 thousand dollars per ref per game. The Real Refs want 10k a game the NFL only wants to pay 8... WTF that breaks down to a little over 1 million dollars for a season, seriously how cheap is the damn NFL!!!

On a side note loved the Baltimore crowd last night, loved the comment by Chris Collinsworth about the refs trying to do a good job and just not being qualified to do it, also loved the hes not in division II anymore comment.

How many of us actually believe Harbaugh was actually trying to take that time out when he got the 15 yarder, its possible but doubtful...

Lions game was insane, Jets game was crazy, Dallas game blew balls, and SF lost to the Vikings WTF!

Everything I hear is this is what the refs want you to believe so that you are on their side.

The "real" issue, as they described it on ESPN Radio, is that the NFL wants to have more Refs, and an accountability system so that bad refs can be replaced.

The refs are having none of that.

[steve1971]

The game was horrible between the Pats and Ravens last night. There were some terrible calls last night for both teams. Bring back the damn regular officials! But that aside it was a back in fourth fight between two great teams. The Cowboys were very lucky to get a win over the Bucs and if it wasnt for the Defense they would have lost. Romo was once again getting killed and running for his life! This keeps up he wont finish the season. And the Vikings beating the 49ers? WTF? This is a Viking team that I havent seen in a long while.

[StereoMike]

They can't even get a call right through reviews. Anthony Fasano catched a pass on the sideline near the goal line and didn't have control of the ball all the way through the ground, yet they ruled it a complete pass after a 5-6 minute review.

[Tony208]

You expect refs to mess up the judgement calls, not the no brainers like down and distance and timeouts. It's just embarrassing.

What the heck happened to Chris Johnson? When I saw Tennessee scored 40+ points yesterday I assumed Johnson finally had a huge game. Then I looked at the stats and he had 24 yards rushing. This guy's production dropped to nothing the minute he signed that big extension.

Titans had a fumble return touchdown, kick return touchdown, punt return touchdown, and 2 long passing touchdowns. Their run game is nonexistent at this point. Their offensive line is absolutely terrible and most of the time Johnson is getting hit in the backfield. This could be Johnson's last year in Tennessee though. He's due $10 million next season and it's only guaranteed for injury so the team could cut him and owe him nothing. The team will have to make a decision quickly after the season though because $9 million of his salary becomes guaranteed if he's still on the roster on the fifth day after the Super Bowl.

Belicheck should get a suspension. I'm guessing the NFL will come down hard after their "don't berate the refs" email.
