The NFL just needs to pay the damn refs and get them back in the games!

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

i might go 0-2 :(

or get decent replacement refs. The frustrating thing is the fact that they just tried to plug in replacements without the proper screening, etc

Damn that sucked. It really looked like Denver was going to put together a comeback in the 4th but the defense couldn't stop Atlanta there at the end.

It's hard to come back from 4 turnovers in a quarter...seems like Manning is a bit rusty despite last week. Hopefully with that away game under his belt some of that rust has been brushed off. I really like Denver's defense and running backs, but Moreno has to take care of that ball!

And he was the first person to say he is still rusty. Its only week 2. Still a lot of football left. I think we'll hear a lot more from the Broncos as the season progresses.

I also hope this ref issue gets sorted out SOON. I'm tired of this crap!

:iagree:

Thank u Peyton for that last td. Without that extra point I woulda lost this week by .57 points. Lol.

not that great of a game.. i thought it would be a bit more of a back and forth

but atleast i had good seats!

Those seats look awesome! Yeah I don't think anyone saw that much of a beatdown coming.

:iagree: Everyone stepped up I guess.

For the Giants they did.

I didn't see any stepping up on the Panthers' team. Maybe sitting down. :icon18:

Pretty much :icon17:

the secondary was horrible last night

So was their offense and special teams.

this is true too

but being there thats the main thing that stood out to me...manning completed some of the easiest mid range 10-15 yard passes and no one was near the receivers its was almost laughable. but yeah panthers running game was bad they kept running the same play for no gain over and over and it was a collective sigh in the crowd.

there was also a lot more giants fans there than i would have thought...but they are a nationally popular team so makes sense

that fumble on the kick return was unbelievable.. it was actually fairly deep in the end zone and i didnt think the panther guy was even gonna run it out. bet he wished it didnt.

Yeah they seemed to be relying too much on just shutting down Cruz and kinda ignored everyone else (which sucks since I had Cruz and Manning on my fantasy team, damn you 1 yd TD runs :p). Barden and Brown had huge games that no one could have predicted.

This is what I've been afraid of with the officiating. That someone would get hurt. Hope Darrius Heyward-Bey isn't paralyzed

Go Patriots!

Go Ravens!

I was hoping for a blowout after that 1st quarter, but it's getting much closer now. Awesome game for sure.

Always a battle between these two.

Yeah. Love that last drive by Brady. :tup:

Loved that last Ravens drive :icon18:

Can't believe the game Torrey is having.

Yeah he's showing great focus.

Here we go. Two minutes left and need a field goal. What a game.

Oh hell yeah!

We've got to get the regular officials back.

And what a game for Torrey Smith.

Glad Torrey Smith had a nice game, but these refs have got to go. They had no idea WTF they were doing the whole game.

great game for Torrey but i agree with the banishing of the refs, clearly no clue what they are doing out there. its tragic, BUT i will say 31-30 Ravens Win, final second field goal, what a win, i was jumping up and down like crazy insane.

the Team is now 30-1 while i wear my Jersey!

:tup:

Refs were bad with calls (or non-calls) against both the Pats and Ravens.

People say to me that it's no big deal since both teams are playing under the same bad officiating, but it does matter. These calls all effect the game. Had a decent set of refs been in that game, who knows, maybe the result stays the same, but the game would have been much different. That's what is frustrating. We all know we're not seeing the game as it is meant to be played. And pacing is a huge problem, too. The time wasted because reviews are so much more necessary makes it more boring to watch than baseball, and it gives defenses a chance to rest while possibly killing an offense's rhythm.

Wish the NFL would just pay up, the greedy bastiches.
