More Banjo: Week 2 versus Vikings

[ThunderDan]

Awful call and the explanation is even worse. Clay lifted him? Try again

No shit, I can give the ref the benefit of the doubt for landing on him from his angle. I can’t give him any excuse for fucking up a lifting call.

That's how I read the explanation too......but the new rule that we are alluding to; is that because of Barr?

That would have sucked to have hat hit cost us a season and now a game this season too.

Everyone has been referring to it as either the Rodgers rule or the Barr rule, but I didn't see anything during the news coverage that indicated it was the primary motivator. It might have been.

Most of the coverage about it was when Peter Morelli gave a talk about the rule and used the Barr hit as an example of what would be illegal this year.

I personally think it was the primary motivator.

Holding.

Mike Daniels Not Sack


Heaven Daniels, M. Ed. @heavendaniels

"What happened to Mike Daniels?" - trying to avoid a penalty because if the ball had been released it would've been roughing the passer. Clearly he thought it was released. Clearly if he realized it wasn't- diff story. My man def ain't missing out on a sack just because. ��

[Guiness]

Holding.

I saw the DL go rolling across the screen in real time and actually thought it was going to be a clipping call on Bakh, but then saw he was still standing and was confused.

[ThunderDan]

Seriously, how much did the refs get paid for today’s game?

[pittstang5]

I didn't even watch the game (not by choice) and I'm pissed about everything that went on. I've seen the replay on Clay's so called roughing penalty so many times and from different angles. In on replay angle Clay lifts up on Cousin's leg as he's going to the ground. This is got to be why the flag was flown. It's bullshit, it's a perfect tackle.

[bobblehead]

I maintain the Matthews hit was legit according to rules. Ref called him because shoulder was into Cousins.

But he kept weight off Cousins (remember they cannot drive QB into turf with full weight of body) by putting one hand and then two knees into the turf. Kendricks left hist feet and didn't take weight off hit until he rolled over Rodgers prone body.

I have 2 very good friends who are vikings diehards. They both sent me texts saying that was the most legal QB hit they had ever seen in their lives.

I like the throw to the end zone to try to end the game in regulation of the HaHa int.

.

Anyone besides me see the second db come in and intentionally drop a forearm to Adams head? Should have been 15 yards no question. The officiating in this game was horrendous. Its the way it works in the NFL. When you get the reputation as the better team you get the calls as well.

same here. One friend was calling me from his Met Stadium seats in his man cave... he did gloat however. Bastard.

[bobblehead]

If he doesnt dip his head and drive him he is fine but CMIII is to damn stupid to realize it.

If he doesn't dip his head he goes helmet to helmet. He made a textbook tackle and rolled away from "driving" him into the ground. That was the worst call since he did similar to cam newton.

[bobblehead]

I, along with all of Canada, stopped watching the WWF after Brett “The Hitman” Hart was robbed of the Title in that infamous match against Shawn Michaels.

Ah...the infamous Montreal screwjob!!

[bobblehead]

An amazing thing happened after that play. Instead of being angry, I lost interest in the outcome of the game. Regardless of outcome, the game was tainted. Same thing happened to a smaller degree last Sunday.

At some point, maybe sooner than later, people are going to stop caring because the outcomes of close games won't make sense, won't have consistency, and will seem arbitrary.

Already there brother. I stopped watching the NBA years ago when I started calling it the WWNBA (like WWF). When the officials determine the outcome its fun if we all know its that way. When they pretend its not, then its no fun.

[bobblehead]

Discretion is the better part of valor. Tight game with lead, might be time for the 2 handed shove. Why risk giving them the time and field position they need to tie up the game?

And if you shove him and he doesn't throw the ball but stumbles away and then completes a 50 yard bomb?
