gb/seattle

i still haven't seen a replay with the angle that the ref had that ruled it a catch and he was right on top of it. there is nothing to indicate blatancy. by rule it comes down to the ref's opinion whether or not the catch was simultaneous and I see nothing other than people's opinions stating that it wasn't. From what I see it was an INT but I wasn't 2 feet from the play when it happened.

This happens all the time but it becomes a big deal because it was at the end of the game. calls affect the game whether they are on the first play of the game or the last.

the last year the packers won the superbowl the nfl admitted to 2 blown calls that resulted in a 14 point swing in favor of the packers vs the vikings in a close game that they certainly would have lost otherwise. they don't make the playoffs that year if they lose that game and don't win the sb so I don't want to hear any more complaining from green bay fans or saints fans for a while.

There was a more blatant mistake in the vikings/49ers game this weekend that got very little attention.

3 mistakes in one play/call by the ref

1-
Jim harbaugh called his final timeout
then later challenged the last call/play
and was wrongly awarded the challenge

2-
shown clearly by the replay audio the play was blown dead before the fumble and the players not even fighting for the loose ball confirmed that. call on field should have stood.

3-
because the play was blown dead before the fumble, the recovery of the fumble can't be determined and the rule on the field should have stood.

because the vikings dominated all 4 quarters it didn't matter.

yeah, the perfect opportunity to get drunk, have sex with lots of young chicks while reliving the past.

he'll announce something or do something when he is ready whether the opportunity is there or not. he doesn't give a fuck about timing, obviously.

i doubt it's the final cut.

a lot of people, including me, feel like the majority of leaks over the years have been by the gnr camp, before tours.

now, look at the steady decline of what we have gotten.

either they are getting more stingy with their material or there isn't anything left to leak

i look at the crap metallica has been putting out since they began having a counselor and talking about their problems and tend to agree with misterid.

they could have, yes but what would have come of a band that was so respected for yielding at nothing and had earned the nickname 'the most dangerous band in the world, had they retooled their core values?
