The refs were ok ... we had some calls go against us. The Bucs had a few odd calls against them. The fumble by Harris was a tough one, But i agree with the refs, there wasn’t enough evidence of recovery. It looked like a saint was the first to it although a buc came out of the scrum with it.

As much *****ing as I do about all the bad calls that constantly get called on us I feel like I have to point out some of the calls today. We were definitely and obviously getting serious make up calls. A fumble taken off the board because they couldn’t tell who had the ball? Seriously I have never seen a pile up where one of the two teams didn’t come up with the ball. I’ve seen them give it to the wrong team but not just straight up nullify the fumble.

When is the last time you have seen a player ejected for helmet to helmet? As big a deal as they make about the helmet rule I have seen it happen over and over without being called. When they do call it you get a penalty and fine at most. I made a comment on here a couple of weeks back that a player who hit one of our guys helmet to helmet should have been ejected. Several people said it never happens. That particular hit was way worse than the one today.

None of these changed the outcome, we still would have won but Tampa kind of got screwed. We think the league hates us (they do) we always get screwed with scheduling too. Tampa has 7 SEVEN road games in a row one of which is in London. Maybe we got kicked up the ladder on the leagues “Teams we want to butt ream” list.
