tbimm Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) I find it kind of interesting that most ignored Rajn's post. It was spot on. The game wasn't decided by that one call but rather by 60 minutes worth of plays. Most of which the 9'ers were unable to make successfully. They were dominated and only still in the game at all due to a few Saints mistakes. Carry on. Edited November 19, 2013 by tbimm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 not to mention hitting the punt returner after he signaled for a fair catch edit: good to see you around rajn..hope all is well Thanks and good to be around.

stevegrab Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'm not sure that your position is accurate. I 'd love to see you support it with more than your feelings. A few dunces don't mean that the whole bunch are all knuckledraggers. But I'm certainly willing to change my mind if you could show otherwise. Wouldn't know where to get such facts nor do I have the time or energy to go looking. Possibly test scores or GPAs and such, but here's where I was comig from. You posted This kind of argument drives me nuts. Please don't try to tell me that NFL players do not understand that getting hit in the head is a part of the normal course of activity in their chosen profession, that they don't understand that concussions are really bad for one's health - especially multiple concussions, or that they had no other choice but to participate in a vocation with such high risks rather than opting out for some other line of work. You're going to tell me that NFL players - whom virtually all, if not literally all, have at least some meaningful college level education; and whom virtually all, if not literally all, have played the sport of football for at least half of their lives on this Earth - have no reasonable and rational concept of the inherent dangers of the profession? Maybe I overreacted a little to your use of meaningful, because that doesn't fit my perception based on how I see them in the media and the off field problems. Hopefully that's that. Its highly off topic anyway, so back to "we are not watching football" (but I will be shortly, one of the replay games that was on this afternoon, or DET-PIT from live action Sunday).

gringuljete Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I think that it would be interesting to see a highlight clip of all the roughing the passer calls that have been made in the NFL over the last 2 years to see where this penalty ranks. I have a feeling that a lot of ridiculous "nothing" touches have been called, with very few people complaining about them being bad calls. It's the kind of thing that a "real" sports media would do, but we don't have a real sports media. We have the NFL (that is first and foremost a business) and the networks (who won't say boo! to the NFL, because without football no one would watch anything they show).

sausagekingchi Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) When you read a thread like this one which contains over 100 posts I find myself both laughing hysterically and feeling really sad about how unintelligent some people are. The complete lack of reasoning in their thought process and how they conveniently pay no attention to the facts because it doesn't jive with their version of the "truth" just boggles my mind. Both sides of this argument have some valid points and some of you do a really good job trying to get your point across while others just have a hard time putting a coherent thought together. Either way thanks for entertaining me for the last half hour. Edited November 19, 2013 by sausagekingchi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were dominated and only still in the game at all due to a few Saints mistakes. Carry on. I didn't ignore his post. I just take it with a grain of salt coming from a Saints fan regardless of how well thought out or reasoned the resonse may be. To be honest with you, I had money on the Saints Sunday, needed the game extended badly for more points from Graham and Thomas, and I still hated the call. From my point of view, as a neutral observer who in general roots for the Saints over the 49ers, I thought the 49ers actually outplayed the Saints. I guess maybe I did not watch every snap like you guys did. All I know is - when I am sitting there with money on the Saints to win, and that play happened, my feeling at that moment was had the hit not been called, and the 49ers get the ball, the game is over. We can never know for sure. But I have bet a ton of games in my life and I know the moment where the bet is lost or won. And a bet for the Saints to win was cashed when they were awarded 15 yards instead of losing the ball on a sack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We here at the internet are acutely aware of your concerns, many of which arise primarily due to this unique mix of anonymity and democracy that is the internet. In fact, this experiment has led us to wonder whether a true functional democracy is even possible, let alone preferable. We do sincerely apologize for the current state of misunderstandings, discussion derailment and general pointlessness that tend to dominate many topic discussions. However we hope you will stay and enjoy our vast array of pornography and funny cat pictures.

BillyBalata Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Dumbest thread ever. In real time, if a ref doesn't throw a flag on that he should be fired. all you guys watching it in slow motion are still stupid, he missed his head by inches.

flemingd Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Your right on there. That was a perfectly legal hit. Especially when you look at the gif Gandalas provided. Shows perfectly well that the arm was not on his neck. Well don't Gandalas by the way. Anyone who watches that gif should see how legal the hit was. It's irrelevant where he first hit him, it's where it ends up. If you block a guy in the chest and your hand slides up into his grill, you're still called for illegal hands to the face. He might have started out fine, but he ended up with his arms around the neck. Penalty every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboyz1 would be squealling about this a year from now if it happened to Romo. Oh now hold on just one minute there pal. If that happened to Romo, not only would it NOT be a penalty but the fumble would have led to a game winning drive. Moreover, we would all be in here reading about how he sucks and how that fumble was the overwhelming proof that, In fact, Romo is a choker and can't be trusted in big games. It would also be pointed out that he should have tucked the ball like every other QB in the league does when there are defenders around. AND I might add, there would be a general consensus that the hit was not only LEGAL but righteous in every way. If that would have happened to Romo this thread would not be here. In it's place would be an indictment on how our right tackle sucks as he let Brooks kill our QB and we can't win with that kind of line play. All the while quips of "Romo holds on to the ball to long" and should have seen the pressure coming like the other great QB's of the league do.

Now can you become aware that non-Cowboys boards don't give a crap about discussing them ad nauseum? Last time I checked it took two people or more to have a discussion. Therefore, if nobody wanted to talk about my Cowboys, I would be talking to myself. But that just doesn't seem to be the case now does it. Maybe you'd rather talk about Carolina or that team down south that seems to have lost their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
