Childress rails against officiating

[pbmax]

I even debated on that one sideline throw to nelson, where he stopped at 10 yards and AR threw it 30 down field, if that should of been intentional grounding. There was NO ONE in the area. No defender, and certainly not Nelson.

It wasn;t intentional, but it may fit in the rules of being a grounding penalty.

First off, ARod was outside the tackle box so he was allowed to throw the ball anywhere he wants without a grounding penalty as long as the ball makes it past the line of scrimmage.

Second, Arod was scrambling to his right away from pressure. WR are taught that if the QB is in trouble you come back to the QB to help him. Jordy broke off his route and came back to ARod. ARod threw the ball long hoping that Jordy would continue his route. That mistake was on Arod.

Philbin laid the blame at Jordy's feet. Saying he should not have cut the route off.

An appropriately vague answer. He's not throwing A-rod under the bus as it is possible he's second guessing his own play calling.

There are very few pass plays where no one is designated to go deep.

They sent two deep on that play (Nelson and Jones) to clear out coverage for the three underneath routes they were running.

McCarthy cannot force the QB to throw short if he bails on those three receivers and routes, steps to his right and sends it to a deep pattern. This is why criticizing play calling (esp. passing) is dicey, because it is very difficult to guess the intent of the play (esp. the coach's, but also the QBs).

Clay was getting held like a freshman at prom most of the game

we got clipped for the late hit when the hit was initiated in the field of play

Chilly sucks because he didnt red flag Quarless

The ball does move on Black Ice in the Endzone forcing him to reclutch so that is why it was over turned...the big thing here is that Old Man River should have been able to hit him in the numbers.

Surprised you arent bitching about Percy having his feet in.

How about Frank Walker holding hand with GJ on most plays and getting no call?

You do realize the NFL admitted it's mistake on the Black Ice play.

You do realize that they fined Chilly 35k, who knows what the VP of officiating said to him...I am supposed to listen to Chilly!? You are stoned...he lied about were his three of his best players were going when they went to get the Old Man that you call an NFL QB.

So now you know him well enough to decide whether he's lying or not? He was fined by the NFL for ripping the refs and for discussing what was supposed to be a confidential conversation between the league and coach. And I don't automatically disbelieve anyone, except politicians. Sometimes what people say is how things actually happened whether we like it or not.

People really can't put Favre behind them? It's getting pretty old in my opinion. I'd rather look forward to the Jets game then bitch and whine about Favre. Just my 2 cents.

Chilly was in Wisconsin longer than he has been in Minnesota. (Not sure about knowing if he is lying or not)

That's a good one. I don't believe Don King and Jim Bakker either.
