Around the NFL 2012-2013

So, Harbaugh tried to get the ref over to him to try to talk to him (for whatever reason), the ref threw the flag, and then Harbaugh said that he was trying to call a timeout? I don't know what happened.

He tried to call a timeout and the ref thought he was yelling at him so they gave him a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

So apparently sometimes the refs give you extra timeouts, and sometimes they penalize you for trying to use your timeouts. (San Francisco just got 5 timeouts in the 4th quarter yesterday.)

Browns and Saints are the only winless teams remaining.

If you would have told me before the season that the browns and saints would have the same record through 3 weeks I'd be thrilled. Who knew the saints would start out 0-3

He tried to call a timeout and the ref thought he was yelling at him so they gave him a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

IMO, he wasn't trying to call a timeout. If he wanted a time out, he should have said timeout or gave the hand T sign, he just wanted to bitch at them. It wasn't till afterwards that he was saying he wanted a timeout.

That was one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen last night. What was actually a very good, and entertaining game was single handily RUIN by these clown refs. It's not fair to rip on these guys so much. They're just doing their job. It's not their fault the are way over their head and can't do it. Roger Goodell is the worst commissioner in sports. The NFL season feels so watered down from this, and it is all thanks to him.

I don't even know if I want to watch Monday Night, fearing it will turn into another circus performance by these fake refs.

Goodell is ruining the league, and its getting clear to the fans. That 'player safety' stuff is total crap, he doenst even care. I may be a little biased because of the Bountygate, but our suspensions were beyond ridiculous.

Rex Ryan said before the game against the Dolphins that he wanted to put some 'hot sauce' on Reggie Bush. Guess what? Reggie got injured during the game, and Jets' Calvin Pace said: 'we had to put him out of the game'. How is that not trying to injure an oponent?

And the commissioner's answer: Adam Schefter of ESPN reports the NFL isn’t expected to offer any discipline as a result of Pace’s comments, ill-advised as they might have been.

I don't know how you guys see the Bountygate, but I dont buy all those allegations, a lot of them with no proof.

Anyway, we need the old refs as soon as possible, this league is becoming unwatchable...

 

[JSS2306]

I mean, does anyone believe that was a Seahawks touchdown?

Looked like an easy interception by Jennings. Hilarious stuff though... Wow.

 

[godfather]

Refs for the second straight night hand the game to the wrong team. Wow, that is bad, but what a wild finish to that game.

 

[Green Demon]

Well the Refs have now clearly decided a game and even after review it looks like they got the wrong call, Green Bay seemed to have that the ball the whole time, terrible call

 

[NtG]

horrible, just a terrible call. anybody with eyes can see that was an interception, AND offensive pass interference

 

[Maximus]

Worst officiated game ever.

 

[bubba52782]

I understand the officiating is terrible, but Gruden is hard to listen to through out the whole process.

 

[MJA1080]

Green Bay should just refuse to come back out. This is ridiculous. Take the fine McCarthy. Speak out about this.

On a side note, can TJ Ward get fined for talking about how bad the officiating is on twitter?

 

[JSS2306]

I feel embarrassed for the NFL right now... players are digging through trunks trying to find helmets... unbelievable.

 

[caf]

Wouldn't surprise me if that ref got paid off. Seattle needed that TD to cover.

Worst call ever. And they reviewed it?? lol
