Someone explain this to me? Anyone who saw the Colts get their asses handed to them 42 to 7 by Dallas.

 

I understand trick plays like a flee flicker or fake punt. Yes the entire game is about misdirection.

 

But when you are only one score down in the first quarter with your back against the wall WHO THE HELL CALLS A FAKE PUNT ON 4TH AND 11?

I can handle religious debate, and even economic debate, but even not being a Colts fan I wanted to kick that coach in the fucking nuts.

Bah. I think The Colts should hire a woman to coach them. I bet they would go undefeated.

Fuck Luck that was an expensive game to decide not to throw up any fp

Well it would have been more interesting if we had a few more people in the league but maybe next year.

I thought you might catch me this week so I played it really safe and went with the favorites. I was going to pick NE to lose and what do you know? they lost.

The play offs are going to be fun. I bet I get my ass handed to me by you. I always do poorly in the playoffs.

Here is what I do not get. Why the fuck did they pick up that flag after what was a clear pass interference? Now if you look closely at the play, the reciever DID touch the corner's face mask. But it does not seem they caught that, because if you have two offsetting penalties they still call them, and the down repeats. But if all they saw as reffs was the pass interference on the corner's part, for the life of me I cannot understand why they picked up that flag?

Now a blown call should not be the entirety of the game. But I stll hate seeing it in any game. Can anyone explain that tom me?

 

Micheal Strahan called it well, "If there would have been no flag no one would be talking about this play but they would be talking about how Detroit blew a 20-7 lead after the 3rd quarter".

The flag was picked up because the ref who threw it was a mile away and was over ruled by the ref who was in position to see the play up close. The ref who should have thrown the flag didn't because he saw the receiver put his hands in the facemask of the defender. The defender touched the receiver because he was trying to get the receiver hands out of his face. If any flag should have been called it was a facemask by the receiver, but that is a tough call also because it could be intentional or unintentional.

They did the right thing by picking up the flag.

Oh I did see the reciever's hands to the facemask of the defender, but the ref who did see it should have thrown another flag, offseting penalties. Repeate down. Still shitty play calling. 

The call would not be controversial if it had been called right. I do not think the other reff should have been overruled I think the idiot who overuled him should have thrown his own flag for the face mask call. 

The right thing would have been to call both players with offsetting flags. The lack of doing that looks bad on the reffs and they should know better.

Oh and I do agree blown calls still don't matter to me either,  put enough points on the board those things don't matter. I am strictly talking about the reffs and the way they did it. 

All he had to do was explain the offsetting penalties instead of simply picking up the flag with no explination.

I disagree. The penalty called on Dallas was defensive pass interference. In order for that penalty to be called the defensive player must make intentional contact with the receiver, not turn to the ball or not make a play for the ball. In this case it was 'face blocking' which is allowed in the NFL. It is not illegal and no penalty should have been called because the defensive player made contact for only the purpose of removing the receivers hand from the mask.
