I think he got called for a personal foul ~ a week before that, so he could not win for losing.Andy F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07020742034297033233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-14372862831056586762008-11-04T18:53:00.000-05:002008-11-04T18:53:00.000-05:00I think it's obvious a lot of pressure is being pu...I think it's obvious a lot of pressure is being put on the refs to the point that they don't know how much to be strict and when. Remember that game a few years ago when a Giant (I forget who) had Vince Young totally wrapped up and let him go, fearing a penalty he definitely would have gotten had he thrown him to the ground, and Young threw for a first down? Well, this is where NFL reffing is going. Officiating sucks enough to begin with without allowing even more "judgement" on the part of the referees that it seems these guys barely know if they are coming or going, throwing flags left and right (while totally blowing other calls.) This will do nothing to make the play in the NFL better, and I have seen no evidence that QB injuries are on the decline, as it seems like tons of starters go out every year, most on plays that aren't even hard sacks. And they get the shit beat out of them anyway. But that should be sort of the point. It's a tough position, you can reap the great rewards, but you have to pay the toll once in awhile. How far are we from redshirting QB's during actual games? Not as far as we might think.<BR/><BR/>P.S. By the way, I way driving to Alabama (from Jersey) on game day (work) but managed to catch most of it at a Hooters somewhere in Georgia. Great game by the G-Men, others have broken it down better than I. Of some fascination was the game on the TV next to that, the Falcons/Raiders game. And the Falcons are having a good year, and Matt Ryan is a good story and all, but, words fail me, Lord do the Raiders suck. I mean they really really suck.
