Refs Cheated For The Aints

[footballislyfe 140]

Bucs caugt game tying td and they called illegal touch on the wr. He was pushed out of bounds in the endzone but he was the first guy to touch it. I understand that but how u dont call illegal contact if u seen him pushed out of bounds 15 yards down field?

[krammmit 1,324]

Saints win on a penalty...Huh, sounds familiar.

[FalconofShadows 357]

Are you really shocked the NFL and the refs will do everything possible to make sure the Taints get in the playoffs

(d) An eligible receiver who has been out of bounds prior to or during a pass, even if he has re-established himself

inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands.

Exception: If an eligible receiver is forced out of bounds by a foul by a defender, including illegal contact, defensive holding,

or defensive pass interference, he will become eligible to legally touch the pass (without prior touching by another eligible

receiver or defender) as soon as he re-establishes himself inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than

his hands. See Article 8, Note 3.

Just makes me hate them even more. I hope we leave them laying on the field.

describes what happened....except they ignored the illegal contact

[footballislyfe 140]

mike peria just said it was leagl contact bc freeman was outside the pocket. I didnt know illegal contact goes off when a qb leaves the pocket

[hooshman 64]

He was clearly illegally contacted in the back of the endzone to be forced out of bounds. But, I guess that was a "judgement" call by the Katrina refs.

[yoyo0 47]

Every game the refs do. Every single game!

[Peyton 13,296]

Yeah, there was nothing remotely controversial on that play. Once the QB gets out of the pocket, the WRs are fair game.

[ICD 2,574]

We need those ratings

[youngbloodz 7,499]

QB was out the pocket. So he could bump him out of bounds. As much as I hate the Saints the refs didn't cheat

[krammmit 1,324]

That sounds like BS. So are they saying that once a QB leaves the pocket the dbs are allowed to push WRs? That sounds stupid.

Send a letter to Rich McKay, he is a the Chairman on the rules committee.

[Faithful Falcon 2,374]

So, the defender could have tackled Mike Williams, and no pass interference could have been called? That's one of the most stupid rules in football.

[Faithful Falcon 2,374]

Then Fox is all on Drew Brees' B***s talking about he's the top performer, when Josh Freenman had a better game.

[atl falcon 89 10,764]

I wanted to see the Taints lose as much as the next guy but I'm not going to get all hot and bothered cause the Buccaneers got cheated. HeII this moves us slightly up in the division. C'mon guys the Saints aren't catching anyone with that defense

[Bill Brasky 5,468]

[youngbloodz 7,499]

Well pass interference doesn't matter when it comes to a QB leaving the pocket. Illegal contact does.

[Falcons_own_nfc_south 2,360]

Bucs and saints both are 4 games behind us....oh meow..who cares

[Tuggle'2 47,647]

We really do need to practice having someone yell out that the QB has left the pocket then have our defense throw the entire offense OOB in the endzone.

[Peyton 13,296]

No, that would have been holding. But he is allowed to push them.

[falcons007 4,157]

Any Surprise? Falcons better be prepared to score two extra TD for refs.

[Tuggle'2 47,647]

LOL !!

Those smug azzhats are well aware.

Sounds like its a rule to prevent the Wrs from being able to run block unopposed which makes sense, still not sure about being able to push someone out of bounds though.
