Official Divisional Games Thread

sorry, but it effects the guys on the team that thinks 40 degrees is the coldest they've ever felt, vs the guys that live in the area where it can get down around zero routinely.

But Rodgers is a Cali guy. Only lives in Wisconsin during the season. Sorry, but the reason our D held them in check is because the officials only called a couple penalties on our DB's who were acting like they were Richard Sherman the whole game. Devon House is going to sign with Seattle in the offseason based on that game.

Or are the officials in the Panthers head? Letting the other team in your head is for losers :P

It is. But everyone knows, from pee-wee on up that the retaliator gets the flag. Even siblings know that.

blah

i really wanted someone to kick the shit out of seattle, but i wanted someone to kick the shit out of san fran too

next week might be a no win situation for me. might have to leave the tv off

Seattle wins then loses to AFC team. It's the only way.

[bobblehead]

exactly, but it will never, EVER be called that way

Yea, I was joking. It should have been a no flag because there was simply no way the defender could have avoided the contact. Next tactic is going to be QB's head diving into defenders helmets to steal a call....sort of like the flop in the NBA.

[Guiness]

Never heard that call before, I think he said "unnecessary roughness, attempting to strike and opponent'.

Watched this one to the end, really thought someone from Carolina was going to goon an SF player!

[pbmax]

Panthers could have used a tightly called game to their advantage at home, but lost their cool too often.

Then Seattle fans spend the rest of eternity whining about the officiating in the SB....

I was referring to the headbutt non call on Boldin when the ref was 2 feet away. That was simply not calling something you called carolina for earlier.

Incidentally to follow through on my conspiracy theory, the NFL really wants Brady/Manning. Rivers and the Chargers will get hosed by the officials this game.

[Rutnstrut]

Sorry, it was cold, not 6" of mud. Crappy weather affects both units.

But it aids a defense much more.

[mraynrand]

Carolina defense gives up 23 points. UNSOUND! Fire the DC! Blood in the water!

[mraynrand]

But it aids a defense much more.

Like Detroit at Philly this year in the snow?

I DVR the games and then blow through them in 20-25 minutes. I know what happens, and I only have to suppress the gag reflex for 20-25 minutes (hell, that might beat Harlan's record!).

Yep, one way or another the "National Fixed League" is going to have their wet dream matchups for the championship games next week.

Was it the same ref? Because that is not normally called in face to face confrontations. I think the first call was ridiculous. The second non-call sound.

I would not be opposed to outlawing it specifically just to avoid escalation, but that would be in future games.

Right. As though the 49ers weren't obviously superior to Carolina. Had to be a fix for them to win that game. Same goes for Seattle - NO was obviously better, but the NFL wants it's dream matchup. Funny how all the co-conspirators never ever reveal or let slip one shred of proof of their nefarious misdeeds. They probably are as careful as the guys who rigged the World Trade Center with explosives on 9/11.
