124 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 ProFootballTalk.com FINE SURELY COMING FOR FREENEY Posted by Mike Florio on January 6, 2009, 2:41 p.m. Well, when a guy has a $72 million contract, he can afford a $20,000 fine or two. Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney, after Saturday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 ProFootballTalk.com What a whiny bitch? The Colt grabbed the face mask. The Colt DLmen grabbed the guy on the collar and swung him around. And Bill Polian you reap what you sow. You whined about the Patriots and your receiver was called for the very rule you implemented. The irony.

Sperm Edwards Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 The defensive holding was a solid. Held Chambers before the ball was in the air. I don't think it even matters if the pass went to another receiver altogether (let alone "uncatchable"). Overtime losses are tough for anyone. But nothing stopped Indy from taking care of business in regulation. Friggin' baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friggin' baby. i didn't like the Defensive holding on the DL and they didn't call Int grounding on rivers the facemask was legit, the holding on Jennings i'm not sure anymore, i think in OT you let the teams play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdhc Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The defensive holding call was marginal IMO. At that point in a playoff game I think they should let them play. It didn't effect the outcome of the play but it did give SD the game. I have no great love for Indy, but 3 defensive penalties on the opening drive of OT? I agree with Freeney, they got hosed.

One never knows how it affects the play. That's why it's a flat 5 yards. The throw may be different if not for the holding. And on replay it didn't look that marginal. It wasn't the worst case of holding I've ever seen, but it was a legit call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJ667 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The calls weren't as bad as what the refs tried to do against Pitt vs. indy in the '05 playoffs. or the ones against seattle in the superbowl same year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 In OT you have to be looser, specially when 1 team may not get the ball The DL grabbed the guy by the collar and swung him around. If anything, it is a failure on Dungy. It was said during the broadcast, this officiating crew had on average the most penalties called during the game. If the coaches did not say something, that is on them. And you need to give them a reminder throughout the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 How ironic, considering how badly the NFL tried to get the Colts to the SB a few years back, especially against the Steelers.

JiFtheOracle Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The holding call was ridiculous at that point in the game. It really was. Like Feeney said, they hadnt called it all game long when you can damn near call it on every play. Then you decide to call it in OT??? The face mask was a face mask.

I didn't see that, however I do agree with Freeney, the timing of the calls were horrible, but they weren't phantom. Jets have been robbed for years against NE with those types of calls, it sucks....

jetophile Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm glad Watermelon Haid got sent home, that's all I know. The Colts got plenty of pampering over the years, especially Peyton 'Don't Touch Me!' Manning. Cry me a river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 let em play in OT Absolutely not. The game should be called consistently from the opening kickoff to the final play. Whether the calls favor one side of the ball or another, I don't care, as long as the refs are consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I cannot believe the irony of this thread. Jets fans that wanted Belichick executed and the Patriots disbanded for Spygate when the impact on the actual game is debatable. Yet they want referees to ignore penalties and allow players to violate rules because a game is in OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthCoastJetsFan Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm a little tired of the "let them play" argument. Maybe they should take the officials off the field after the 2 minute warning and in OT. Let the players call their own. Yeah, that'll work. A penalty is a penalty no matter when in the game it occurs. The 3 penalties in OT all looked like legitimate penalties to me. We all have the benefit of slow motion replay... all of us except the refs, of course. Try making those calls in real-time with everyone flying around the field and you'll see how difficult it is.
