I gotta give props to Colbie Caillat for that ultra subdued version of the Star Spangled Banner. I really liked it and thought it was fresh. I think maybe it was subdued and out of place considering all the fireworks, smoke machines and ~ragin' rhinos~ that came outta the tunnels about 2 minutes before! :rofl:

Somebody needs to page the Colts' locker room. Hey, we're playing football here! 
The offense has looked horrible through the first two quarters.

Indy played an absolutely horrible first half of football. If there's a silver lining, it's that we're only down three points. It's a good thing Houston didn't take advantage of the Colts' miscues.
I haven't seen Indy bent over and plundered like they are being today :shocked: Are the Texans for real? Wow.
I tried watching the Bungles v Patriots via Justin but the lag was getting on my nerves. I can't deal with it.
Detriot beating da Bears?
Ahh, I see the lightening has stopped. Back to Denver v Jville for me..

Wow, did the Lions just get robbed.

Lions just got cheated out of a game winning TD.This league just seems to be making up new rules as they go along.He caught the ball with two hands,landed with both feet in the endzone,went to the ground WITH CONTROL,and they say that he has to maintain control even after that,which he lost control after the ball hit the ground.
This league is so fucked up with their rules,and even though it's a moot point now,I would pitch a bitch if I were the Lions.
That was the biggest robbery I've ever seen is my 30+ years of watching sports.

How exactly does someone determine "maintaining control" anyway?
I'll have to see the replay...:o
It's pretty obvious that he had control.
Wasn't juggling the ball at all.
Put it this way,if he would've made the exact same catch,but instead of in the end zone,it was going to the sideline,it would've been a catch.And if it were in the Superbowl,it would've been a catch also.
This supposed "rule" is nothing more than another convenient tool that the league and official can use whenever they need to,to determine the outcome of games.

^^ No, it's not. If you leave your feet, you must make the catch, get two feet down, and maintain possession all the way to the ground. The rule is actually very specific.
It was not a catch. Plain and simple.

THey're going to talk about the dubious play on NFL Network after the commercial break. We can all get a look at the play...
I have a feeling this call will look worse and worse with all the forthcoming replays....
I guess we know what issue will be #1 on Around the Horn :rofl: Where's Marriotti to sandbag the Bears :rofl:

You obviously didn't see the play,because he did exactly just that,but they added that in the end zone,you have to further maintain possession even after you go to the ground.It's total bullshit!
How come if,say you are running the ball in,and the ball crosses the plane of the goal line while in a players possession,the play is immediately over even it he loses possession after the ball crosses,whether or not any part of the player's body is in the end zone?
If you hit the ground with possession of the ball,the play should be over right then and there.This is the first time that I've ever heard of the bullshit that they are preaching about "one continuous act" in the end zone,where you pretty much have to stand up with the ball after you come down with it.
Watch the replay and tell me that Johnson's catch wasn't a TD.
And like I said,if it were a higher profile game,there's no way that they wouldn't have called that catch a TD.
Ace Bandage

I saw the replay. He has to complete the play by holding onto the ball. He did not do that, therefore it's not a catch.
If you're running with the ball, you've already established possession. When you cross the plane, it's a TD. Now, when you catch the ball in the end zone, you have not established possession yet. Hence the rule.

Again, nothing else matters unless he maintains control of the ball throughout. That did not happen, thus by rule, it's not a catch. Personally, I think it's an idiotic rule, but it is a rule nonetheless.
It's not just idiotic,it's a fucking convenience for fixing games.
Fuck what that "made up" rule states,it was a fucking TD,plain and simple.They got robbed.
