I need to go to the eyedoctors on this one. Did his foot not come down on the north side of the 1st down marker or was it my imagination. I am still waiting for NBC to show the measurement. And I thought it was great that they moved the clock back so it would not be able to be re-examined by the refs. I used to get sick of this crap in the 70's and 80's when football was fixed like th eOakland Raider Julius Adams call. Can't score ask the refs for a hometown play.
Peytom Manning is still a pooosey. Eat me. I will probably see Obama's birth certificate and college record before I see the fricken replay and measurement the network decided we didn't need to see.
By the way, nice call Bell a chick. I would have punted but what do I know about football. I have only been watching it for some 50 years. I am still fricken pissed.

The play occurred before the 2 minute warning...
…so adding time to the clock didn’t do anything to the reviewability of the play. I still think he had possession of the ball beyond the first down marker, but the Refs are human and it’s the Pats fault for not saving their TOs.
I know I'm biased in my non-Patriotism and all
but when the Networks are calling it against the Pats, you know it’s true.

Are you talking about whether they had the first down?
The way the people were calling it from the booth was “bobble, bobble, bobble, and he has possession right before the ground.” I saw it as 1 bobble and then he had possession and that was with a first down. But I’m not the ref so it’s not my call.

yea im very close to saying your just a troll but will just say that your very ignorant if you think it was fixed
and cant take it as what it is a loss
GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!
Wow, I love the insinuation there
The network decided we didn’t need to see it? You imply the measurement showed the Pats got it, and in a split-second conspiracy NBC cut away. So they somehow convinced thousands and thousands of people to hush and not say anything? I don’t get it.
As for the 4th down call, I’m a Colts fan, and I got pissed when I saw the Patriots were going for it. Why? Because it’s 2 yards, and it’s the freakin Pats. With the momentum where it was, the Patriots had a much better chance of converting than stopping a last minute Manning drive.
Ultimately a great game by you guys, Indy just managed to make a few plays down the stretch. If these two teams meet in the playoffs, and Indy hasn’t fixed a few things, the results are going to be much more like the score at the end of 3 quarters than at the end of 4.
You had it right in the middle part of your last paragraph
“…but what do I know about football.”
Keep the faith!
Number of rings OB1 has? Let me guess...

It is now.
And life is good again. Sanchez was always destined to become a verb.

I'm still curious
how many interceptions does he have to throw before people start to question him?

Hey little sister shot gun!
How many picks must a rookie throw, before he is tossed to the wolves?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind. The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Seriously though
I was watching the NFL.com video and they say MIAMI is having QB problems. The nerve. Henne’s 5/4 with 2 picks not on him. Sanchez is 9/12 with multiple scores off turnovers and has blown 3 different games singlehandedly. Oh wait, this is a Pats blog. Why am I ranting here? Probably because I’m banned on GGN.

I understand the frustration
Dolphins are always on the short end of media love. Just look at the off-season topics. Bill get TO and now they’re contenders – not so much. Jets grad Sanchez, and now the Sanchize is set – lot’s of media in NYC, too much time on their hands. Brady’s back – really did he go somewhere; are injuries always permanent? Miami Dolphins (hear crickets chirping) – no news.
Personally, I’d like zero media attention and piles of W’s, but that’s just me. Most of the Pats media attention hits the extremes.
Oh, I’m not banned on GGN. I refuse to post anything there to give them the satisfaction.

I was actually quite civil over there.
Until they started ragging on the Bills and called them the worst team in the NFL. I don’t know, so many years of failure almost makes me wanna look after their franchise, like a big brother or something weird like that. After they lost to said worst team in football, I wrote a scathing article on why the Jets were actually the worst team in football. Most of it consisted of Jets, suck, gay and various other words repeated in varied sentence syntax.

I've been having fun here too.
This is what I think of the Jets.

golly gee Farorefox
Can’t believe that got you banned. Seriously, on that blog that’s speaking their own language.

Hahahaha.
Jets. Suck. Gay. Jabba the Hutt.
Now, copy-paste that three dozen times. Mix thoroughly.
Pour all over GGN.

Peyton Manning threw a LOT in his first year
and he turned out okay. So I guess it depends on how many wins/losses, how he achieves them, and how secure the coach and management are with it all. Tough break on a rookie if his coach’s position is tenuous.

Didn't Mora get sacked right after that season?

Could well have done
That must suck – you show confidence in your Round 1, Pick 1 rookie QB, have him throw a lot of interceptions, lose games you otherwise might not have lost if you’d put in your obligatory backup veteran, and then take the fall because you’re doing what’s right for the organisation. Heh.

But also everyone realized
that the ENTIRE Colts organization was completely terrible. Sanchez has RELATIVELY decent staff surrounding him, pretty good O players, and pretty good D players. His play however, has been inexcusable.

Hey little sister shot gun!
the refs...
…weren’t the ones who threw two drive killing picks, fumbled at the one, or went three and out in a couple of early situations. There may have been some places where calls didn’t go our way, but this game was one of lost opportunities, not officiating.
In any game, some things are going to go your way. Some things are not. To win, you need to be good enough to overcome those. Last night, the Patriots fell just short.
Can't blame the refs.
One more score (and we left plenty out there) and the refs would have been a non-factor. If you have to rely on a ref’s call, you haven’t done enough to win.

Not to mention...
…if the refs really did blow the call — and while I think the spot was short of where it should have been, it wouldn’t have been a first down anyway — the Pats could have challenged it if they hadn’t blown two timeouts in the previous three plays.
And they wouldn’t have needed to go for it on 4th and 2 if the defense hadn’t played like crap all quarter.
And they still would’ve won if the offense hadn’t given the ball away a couple of times deep in Indy territory.
So even if the refs blew the call, and it’s not at all clear that they did, the Pats still blew the game.
Yeah
they blew the call…… same old. That’s what can happen when you got them on the ropes and you don’t put them down.
Warm up the Duck Boats!!!
