Week 13 Other Games Thread Plus Some Bird

Watching Carroll complain about the penalties when it's part of his entire defensive strategy was nauseating. And Rickle Sherman getting in the ref's face after being called on an obvious penalty should have drawn an unsportsmanlike conduct flag. It should be considered for a fine.

That entire bunch really gets on my nerves. Even Wilson is wearing thin.

I know the play you are talking about, and I remember on the replay it didn't look that bad, although the announcers piled on. I paid attention to Sherman as much as I could last night, and honestly, I thought he played a spectacular, and mostly very clean game. The couple of times he got handsy I thought more "how the hell else are you supposed to play the position".

re: 5 yard holding penalty
I wonder how the ref decides when it's a hold, and when it's PI and 'spot of the foul'.

Ball in the air - PI.

Thought you played college football?

I only shut down Darren Charles in a high school football game, but I knew that.

I'm with Woodbuck. This game coming up against the Patriots is huge. The dangerous teams are coming out of the woodwork. If we want to be champs, home field is very important.

It's a statement game, but not critical. Non-conference, non-division opponent. It'd be good to get the win, but not critical.
