Indy fans... where are the excuses?

Choupique · 02-08-2010, 01:49 PM

It was all vodou spells. I been telling ya'll that for the last week.

I find it ironic that anyone says the Saints have the refs on their side.
Give me a freakin break.

What this Super Bowl is, if anything, is payback for decades of chitty calls AGAINST us.

I would suggest midol or tampons to those whiner idiots. Sorry, I'm too blunt sometimes, I admit.

Don't see the game changing even if the Colts recovered an onside kick that everyone would know is coming.

Refs played little part in this game IMHO. What were there, 6 or so total penalties in the game?

It was a well played game by both teams that really boiled down to the turnover margin (Superbowl winner now 32-3 when winning the TO ratio) and a great stop by our defense in the red zone at the end of the game.

If those two are the only two then I call BS, because both were called correctly, and that's no homerism.

1) Lance bobbled and then 'controlled' the ball, over the line and no question IN the end zone. That's 2 points. The Colts player kicked the ball out of his hands after the fact. The BAD CALL was that we had to challenge it to begin with, because the REF is standing 2 feet from the play and blew the call.
2) Minus the offensive PI, that's an INT, because our player was pushed from behind, forcing him to place his foot OB to stay in position. The Refs were right on it.

I agree. I'm just pointing out the only two calls that were even remotely close.

I think the refs called a very fair game and were a non-factor in the outcome of the game.

I don't think the 2 pt conversion changed the game... but i thought that the receiver had to control a catch out of bounds or even AFTER crossing the goal line. I thought that was wrong... but I am no expert.

Crossing the goal line ends the play at that instant. All he had to do was control the ball long enough to cross the plane.

I agree,i have been a Saints fan since 1967.This game will make no difference on how Mannings career is defined once he is retired.The Colts fans have more class than most NFL teams fans!!

Right-
That's why I can't believe it wasn't called complete immediately. He had possession TWICE
