NFL admits to missed calls in NFC Championship Game

[MrBill]

Damn I just thought you were a vikings fan from the sig do you going to the game and with the whole rule thing. Man you had me fooled.

I was rooting for Favre in that game, kind of how Nuk rooted for the Warner led Cardinals even though he is a Cowboys fan. I even wore a vintage Favre USM jersey to the game because it was Saints colors and it was the only way I could tailgate with the family :laugh:

The sig is because I am using the Vikings in the 220 league, just like the Eagles sig for TGT. No specific allegiances, just who was open in the draft at that time.

Who cares? The Colts will right every wrong.

Why didn't they just renamed them the Katrina Saints, or the New Orleans Katrinas?

The same reason they didn't rename the Jets the 9/11's or the Giants the Hijackers.

In what has been a run of poor hurricane-related jokes about New Orleans, that may have been the worst.

I award you no points.

I think he's a Rams fan lol . Said something about supporting them and then not watching a game because Tony Banks was the QB

LOL @ blaming the refs. The Ref's didnt have 12 men in the huddle, the refs didnt throw the INT on 3rd down when Favre could have ran for 5 yards atleast.

Who blamed the refs for the loss? The NFL admitting to poor officiating and missed penalties was the topic of the thread. Everybody knows the Vikings shot themselves in both feet with all of the turnovers.

The league said they blew the calls and fined McCray $20k for cheap shots. That's pretty much the end of it.

From section 609 in the upper deck, it looked just as bad in real time as it did on the replay. It was a bad, bad, bad call that put the Saints into FG range in OT of the game that decides who goes to the Superbowl. The fact that it was just one in a series of questionable calls on that one drive is what made it so unbelievable.

funny on the replay its a no call, but in realtime it looks like he's all over him...

I've been pulling an AirMcNabb lately, I know.

Let me break it down - I'm a fan of the following.

St. Louis Rams (the only team.)
Kurt Warner.
Mike Martz (Where Martz goes, I go.)
Tony Romo.
Philip Rivers.

In a way I'm glad all this controversy has come up, now the Saints will have to be careful in the SB. I doubt the NFL can really afford to let them "get away" with late hits two games in a row. Refs will probably be quick to throw a flag on any questionable QB hit.

No doubt, McCray so much as looks the wrong way at Manning and there will be a flag. His hit against Warner in the divisional game was questionable but legal and the 3 shots against Favre were just flat out cheap.

Please. It's Peyton Manning. He may not whine and scream for a flag every time he's touched like Brady does, but the officials are gonna take care of him.

One "cheap shot" from a Saints player and we might see an ejection.

Thats bullshit though the saints hit and they hit hard. So having them put the saints under a microscope will take away from their gameplan. If its blatant then yeah throw the flag, but if they dont let the saints hit peyton then im calling bullshit.

The refs were helping Favre up off the ground and we're still sitting here talking about missed calls.

What's bullshit? Some of the late hit rules on QBs? Yeah I agree, but if the Saints break one of those rules I'm gonna expect the refs to throw the flag.

If its blatant like McCray hits manning 10 yards from the ball then throw the flag, but I have a feeling if McCray or any saints player for that matter even taps manning its going to be a flag which puts a HUGE dent in there gameplan to rattle a QB.

That's Greg Williams' fault for choosing that gameplan. He knows the NFL has real strict rules about hitting QBs but keeps telling his players to deliver "remember me shots."
