team was set up for failure the past draft was horrible. we basically got nothing out of it. You cant have drafts like that bc when you have injuries there is no depth. Our system is terrible on both sides of the ball and we have a head coach who is a career coordinator, he is in over his head.

How is it criminal? The fans are the ones that called for the NFL to reach an agreement with the union to get the "real" officials back over the replacement officials. Personally, I said stick with the replacements. They weren't that much worse than the "real" officials (maybe a little worse), and there was no union to deal with. The NFL would have had a lot more flexibility to discipline, then.

His claim was that unions are criminal in nature, not necessarily the officials in particular.

Injuries did really hurt us a lot. It just the playcalling and the effort of the players that are being question. We should have a better team overall next season. We might just hire Mike Shanahan  when he gets fired as our OC.

...almost seems like he's betting .

 

 I don't buy it.  If he was betting, why wouldn't he have just called it a TD to begin with?  It would have been much less questionable if he had called it a TD to begin with (I could see getting it wrong on the field as it was a close play) and then said that there was not sufficient evidence to overturn.  I don't think he is unscrupulous......just incompetent.

The other refs called the play down short.

Yeah in all honesty I doubt he is. He's just flat out a terrible official.

    • All teams have injuries, all fan bases thinks their team is the most affected.. There's at least 10 back up QBs starting right now..   Yes, this coaching staff is good, really good.   No, we will probably never have a entire season with all the top 22 playing 16 games, just like the other 32 teams, the reality.
    • I think we'd have 6 or 7 wins with Richardson. As I said, the only difference would be he'd have game experience by now and probably much more developed where we could make a playoff run in his rookie year. Maybe with Taylor healthy all year and playing we'd have 8 wins. We always seem to get the short end of the injury bug. 
    • Rooting for the Colts, but this is a trap game IMO. Taylor is out, we have never played Levis before and he will have motivation to try hard Vs us, The Titans are winless away but undefeated at home and they are playing at home. Grover is still out, and they have Derrick Henry who they will run down our throat.    I feel we will get kept off the field a lot with Henry on the field and Steichen will pass more than he should because Taylor is out.    Hope I'm wrong.
    • How is this injury-riddled band of ragamuffins 6-5?  Surely there are more talented teams with less wins?   How much of this "success" (because let's face it, as easy as our schedule has been, winning 6 games by this point in the season is an accomplishment) is because the coaches are busting their humps to get the players fired up to play and doing a good job of maximizing their talents to put them in a position to succeed?   I'd love to see what this staff could do with, for example, a healthy Taylor and Richardson for 16 games, not missing Stewart for 6 games, basically not losing all 4 of their top 4 corners etc.
    • I think they should leave FSU out. That OSU team was loaded that year and were clearly better than everyone even with their 3rd string QB. I hope it’s Michigan, Washington, Texas and Alabama. Those are the four best teams in my eyes but understand the argument for FSU. It would not surprise me a bit if tv ratings come into play with this decision. College football has become a business and people watch UT and Bama.    Fitting there is this much controversy right before they go to a larger playoff. There are 8 teams that all have a case to be in the playoffs and can win a game. Georgia, Oregon and Ohio State could all easily win 2 games and make the championship. FSU has a great defense and I’m guessing the extra time preparing for the bowl games would help their offense a lot.    On a different note, there is a lot of hate for the SEC bc they win so much. It’s not universal but there is a strong push from some to leave them out this year. I will say this, I don’t think there is a team in this country that can beat Bama and Georgia in back to back games. I think the gap is closing but not quite there yet.
