Winters' crew is fucking horrible. How did they make the playoffs?

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
Tell me about it. I do not want a repeat of last weeks games with flags killing either teams momentum.Mr. Snrub said:
Edit: Bionic: i know that but Winter's crew has thrown more flags then any other crew in 2009. It slows down the games.

Hochuli is such a piece of shit. He can't let anyone play. I was ripping my hair out last week. Literally whatever team had their offense on the field was going to get penalized the hardest, in this case it was the Cowboys. Flag after flag. If we weren't so awesome, it would've been a close game but we were able to overcome some of the holding/false starts.

Revis was robbed for DPOY!
Woodson was good, yes...but the year Revis had was just ridiculous.
Anyway, picks:
Saturday:
Cards @ Saints - This could be like, the highest-scoring game ever or something. I think the Saints offense is just that much more potent than the Cards', though - and the Saints can actually defend a bit too.
Ravens @ Colts - If - and only if - the Ravens repeat EXACTLY what the did to the Patriots, can they pull this game out too. Unrelenting pressure on the QB directly up the middle and blitzes executed so flawlessly it was as if they knew the play the opponent was running...that is what is necessary to stop #18. I don't see that happening, though.
Sunday:
Cowboys @ Vikings - Romo is due to fuck up sometime, right? If you believe in due, that is.
Jets @ Chargers - Speaking of due, the team riding an epic winning streak behind Norv Turner with a team/QB desperate to prove its postseason worth, a franchise RB on his last legs, and a middling defense/running game...that team's gotta be due to lose, right? And it isn't entirely implausible that they lose to the team with the best defense, the best running game and the best pass defense in the game. That can only happen if Gates, Sproles and the short pass can be defended, though. It will be tough, but I can't pick against the Jets. Besides, the lulz that will occur with a Chargers loss would be spectacular.
See you Sunday, kids.
Jets-Age, bring your suntan oil to SD.

Cards @ Saints - After seeing their defense against the Packers, I've gotta go against the Cardinals.
Ravens @ Colts - 30 yards? :lol Flacco's going to have to do a lot better than that to have a hope of beating the Colts.
Sunday
Cowboys @ Vikings - Cowboys look real scary in the NFC right now. All cylinders seem to be firing for them.
Jets @ Chargers - Chargers are the scariest team in the playoffs. Revis will be a non-factor with all the targets that the Chargers pass to.

OMG Rors that Al Davis gif is fantastic. I'd go back to the sunglasses with the band though. :lol
Cards @ Saints - As much as I want the Saints to win, I think the Cards are a team of destiny. Just the way the ball bounced off of Rodgers' foot directly into Dansby's hands..?....the football gods have made Kurt Warner their Kratos.
Ravens @ Colts - Surprisingly, Manning doesn't choke.....yet.
Sunday
Cowboys @ Vikings - Goddamn I hate the Cowboys, but they're playing like they should have been when they had TO. Very tough team for the Vikings.
Jets @ Chargers - OK it was all fun and games before, Rex. Now the party's over.

Yeah, but there are some that are way worse than others. Hochuli isn't that bad. He blew one whistle prematurely and it ended up costing him his rep. He was just following NFL guidelines. Now, the guidelines are to let the play go through to the end, but back then it was to blow the whistle immediately for player safety.bionic77 said:
Winter is pretty horrible. The worst are Ron Winter's crew, Walt Anderson, and Walt Coleman. Jeff Triplette has had some pretty horrible games too.
[edit]Mike Carey has been pretty good over the years, but he's had a couple of laffers this season.
Cheeto said:
Mike Carey? He's also the one that always says "the ruling on the field... (dramatic pause) was CORRECT." As if to say that he's annoyed by your silly challenges.

I have a feeling you're making a joke, and I will be sad when I find out this is in fact, not a real facebook group.
Oh it's real! Thank you LiveWire... why are there only 99 members? Facebook sucks.
Seriously guys, the Jets backed into the playoffs beating 2 teams who pretended it was the preseason and then beat a spectacularly awful Bengals team with injuries up and down their roster in the wild card round. They aren't a "hot" team, they aren't even a good team. They are an average team that are lucky to be where they are.
The Chargers have won 11 straight, including wins against good teams who were fighting for playoff spots. They are the hottest team in the league and simply outclass the Jets in every way. That doesn't mean they can't lose, this is the NFL and anything can happen, but actually picking them to win is wishing for a miracle.

Taylor was a good athlete, but like many young NFL talents, he had emotional/behavioral issues. Taylor deserved the ejection, but so did Pittman. It's kinda like what happened in the World Cup with Zinedine Zidane. You know Materrazi said something pretty goddamn nasty that in and of itself was worth a penalty or ejection to get that kind of reaction.
Mike Carey can do no wrong. Observe his handling of Bill Belichick in SuperBowl XLII. Mike Carey doesn't have time for this Mickey Mouse bullshit, he's got a job to do.
Speaking of the Bucs, I still get pissed every time I see a picture of Mike Alstott.
Everyone always overreacts after the Wild Card games and people start to see upsets everywhere. That is just modern day sports. Everyone remembers all the good points of a team and forgets the flaws that made them wildcard teams in the first place. Let the Jets fans have their fun. History is on the Chargers side, but generally at least one team with homefield is going to lose. I get the feeling that one of the 1 seeds is losing this weekend with both of the 2 seeds going onwards. Right now I am leaning towards the Saints being upset and Kurt Warner continuing to kick ass in the playoffs, but I need to think some more on it.Crisco said:
The two guys you never want to see in the playoffs are Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner.

What more could you even ask Revis to do? Woodson is getting the award based on his career achievements.

Shit just got real.
While I've only seen him play a few times this season, Woodson seemed to hold/contact early on a ridiculous percentage of his defended passes. I wish the Steelers would take this mentality, but then again, our CBs typically aren't close enough to the WR to make any attempt at contact.

Saturday
Cards @ Saints- I expect Warner to light it up. It's possible for this to turn into a shoot out, but the saints stumbled hard at the end of the season.
Ravens @ Colts- Ravens scored 24 first quarter points, 17 of those on turnovers, 7 on the Ray Rice run. I've said it before, that game was not on the Ravens offense or the Pats defense, but it was Brady not playing smart. I don't expect manning to make the same mistakes.
Sunday
Cowboys @ Vikings- Ware is just ridiculous. Every single down he was in Mcnabb's face. Let's see how Favre handles the pressure
Jets @ Chargers- I think the jets matched up OK with the colts, where Revis could lock up their main weapon. I think Rivers is better at spreading the field so I expect this to be a fairly easy win for the Chargers.

Revis Island can suck my dick. The true best defensive player this season won the award. Revis is a shut down corner. Charles Woodson is an all around defensive stud. Not only does he cover the oppositions best receiver he is also an excellent blitzer, holds his own against the run and is a fucking great tackler. Revis is just a cover man. The only reason it's even close in my mind is because of Woodson's penalties.

It has happened. You just have to go waaaaaay back to like.... last year. Ravens beat Titans, Cardinals beat Panthers, Eagles beat Giants. :lolbionic77 said:

And because all he does is play corner. Woodson played corner, safety, nickel and linebacker this season. The Packers didn't let teams make him a non-factor because he can do so much more than play coverage. He found the ball, which is what great players do.
Sure, Revis is an excellent tackler (I'll have to take your word for it)....of wide receivers. Woodson tackles running backs, tight ends, quarterbacks and receiver.
