and I'd also like to say 'sorry' , but you are not making the playoffs

screw those undisciplined thugs- that was like watching the Miami Hurricanes or the Raiders, after the talent got old: they're taunting and talking, meanwhile they're down 3 scores. Pettigrew was talking after every play

Man they need to get their football head right !

There is no excuse for that - none. Keep your head in the game!!!

Any word yet from the NFL about a fine for striking the official??

I can't point to an example from memory, but I swear that in the old days even just TOUCHING an official used to mean automatic ejection....

He should be thankful he is still allowed to play, period.

UK good point !

Actually, we were playing rough after the whistle and got under their skin and they were undisciplined and got the call. There were several plays I watched where we could have easily gotten a flag. I imagine the refs are going to watch us closer down the stretch.

I thought that both teams were guilty of penalties called and penalties not called. Watch the Moore TD. The defender was doing something to Lance on the ground that wasn't called.
