To the boosters buy kids cars, drugs, hookers, etc. To the bcs and rankings, all of which has favorites for certain teams.

If we start rolling, and the league doesn't want us rolling...

"Illegal hands to the face"
"Holding"

Etc

We played a bad game, and to be clear, I acknowledge we didn't show up, but we fought back and had a shot. It should have been 3rd down and goal from the 14. Instead it's a game-ending touchdown, and just like last year, everybody in the stadium could see the player push off, and yet we are expected to accept, "it didn't rise to the level of a foul" by the NFL?

Then what, exactly, does rise to that level? By rule that was PI, and it's not even close. His arm was extended and his lower body was extended past his upper body BECAUSE he was pushing off. And look, as a one-off or an every now and then...I can live with that, but this is neither. This is now a consistent pattern of behavior across the league.

I don't WANT to call it a conspiracy. I don't WANT to believe the NFL is rigged. But I have eyes and I can do simple math.

You fix the problem with the same number of cameras for every game, and you get it right. Why wouldn't you want to get it right? Why is there so much push back on getting it right? Hmmmmmm

I don't care that it wasn't called. I care that it wasn't reviewed. If it would have went to review and they upheld the call I'd been content (albeit sad). It makes no sense me that you go through all of that process in the off-season to put a rule in place to make sure the correct call on those types of plays are made and then you decline to even make use of the tool that was provided to the refs to get the call right. Any other team then us I guarantee you they at least take a look at it there.
