I'm not ashamed to admit...

[DalTXColtsFan]

...that I don't lose a second of sleep when I see a bad call go in the Colts' favor for a change.

 

I'm sure you all know exactly which call I'm talking about.

 

A few plays before that I swear a saw a Ravens OLman with a fistful of jersey between the 2 nines on Buckner's jersey.  Flag? Nope.  I'm pretty sure that play resulted in a first down.

[lollygagger8]

For the most part, the refs let them play yesterday 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

As long as they let both teams play and aren’t one sided I am fine with it. There was bad calls on both sides yesterday.

[coltsleafs]

Anyone else notice in the 4th Quarter when the Ravens were driving to win the game Lamar gets sacked and they stopped the clock to review. Are they not supposed to have a 10 second run-off after that or charge they Ravens with a timeout?

[Archer]

I must be the only person who saw it this way, but I didn't see a replay of Speed's non-call that showed definitive PI.  You can't see what EJ's doing with his back arm.  You see EJ swiping at the ball with his left hand, and after the ball goes by you see Flowers whip around and flail his arms.  He tried to sell it, but I'm not convinced EJ interfered.  Everyone seems to admit it was a bad non-call, but I'm not even sure it was PI at all...

Instead they added 8 seconds onto the clock

Opening week, the Commanders got away with a blatant PI in the end zone on Denver's final two point attempt. Nothing was called. This happens all the time, especially at the end of games. For once, it seemed to go in our favor.

 

Although I agree, this dreadful CBS crew never showed a good angle of the play. EJ Speed probably got away with a PI, but we never saw a definitive replay.

Yeah they weren’t calling PIs either way yesterday.  Pittman got blanetly held right before halftime no call and of course the shot to Pittman’s face when he had the deep catch.  It was both ways and they were consistent with it so I had no issue with it.  If I were the Ravens fan I would have been more mad when they got called for block in the back and they missed Paye’s clear facemask which pretty much gave the Colts an extra :40 at the end of the game. 

[SLILLINGTON10]

I was at the game and the refs were letting them play all game long. Ravens got away with a lot most of the game as well. With hot wet and sloppy the field was players were constantly grabbing eachother down the field because DBs could stay with the WRs after cuts. I am happy it was a no-call because it was consistent with how the game was called.

[SOMDColtsfan]

I read the Ravens had 1 flag for 5 yards, is that correct? And what about the defender with hands to the face of Pittman jr when his helmet got pulled off? Living in MD all I've heard today is we were "gifted" the win..

Yah I was so confused about that and of course we had the worst commentators who don't know the rules of football calling the game so couldn't rely on them lol. Glad they missed the kick at least.

If we were gifted anything it was Tucker missing his field goal attempt. He’s usually money 9 times out of 10.

Playing devil's advocate he was 2 of 8 over his career from 60+ before that kick.  He was actually 54 of 79 from 50+ before that kick which is INSANELY impressive.  He's 106 of 118 for his career from under 50 and has never missed from under 30.

 

Great kicker.  No question about it.  But asking even the best to be clutch with a 60+er on the line is a stretch.

 

EDIT:  The all-time NFL average for 60+ yard field goal is 17.2%.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Refs are gonna Ref.....that's the NFL. 

But it helps when your going against a team that the steelers(among some others) prefer see lose.

I’m just sayin’… the guy was making 70 yard fields goal in warm ups earlier this season.

 

No guarantees of course that he makes any kick. But he’s pretty clutch. The weather and field were crap though so that should be considered. 
 

And besides all that… we’ve been screwed over by refs far more than gifted. Nearly every Steelers game our guys are getting murdered on the field while the refs look the other way. I’m sure this season will be no different.

Baltimore can "boo-hoo" all they want about a flag that they wanted yesterday but wasn't thrown, but let's not forget that when they beat the Niners in the Superbowl, they mugged San Francisco's receivers for 4 straight plays on the decisive goal line stand and nary a flag was thrown!

[bluebombers87]

Oh the tears are definitely flowing from Baltimore fans. I’m real tore up about it.

 

Just about every team benefits at one point from the refs making a call/non-call.

[JediXMan]

The amount of missed holdings on their OL and the obvious face mask on Pittman. They have no one to blame but themselves not the refs lol.

[JediXMan]

Also Paye is nearing the top of my list as favorite Colts lol.

But yet they got cheated because of the play at the end  . They were getting away with everything all game in reality and all most look at is the 1 play

There was 2-3 holdings on Lamar TD run alone lol.

[BlackTiger]

I would be mad about that if i were a Ravens fan but both teams got away with a lot yesterday.  They missed multiple face mask penalties for some reason going both ways.  They got away with some offensive holding and both teams could have been called for PI at some point.

[coltsfan_canada]

It was fun rubbing on a pickleball fellow face who is big time Raven fans, and all he said put an asterisk on this win because it was a clear PI call. I told him hush bro many uncalled calls on Ravens also specially a facemask call on Pittman. Love it when the season started we were suppose to be bottom of NFL and should have 2 ~ 3 wins with top 5 in draft. Again many games left in the season but I am happy colts fan right now.

Remember  that next time the Colts lose because of a bad call. I doubt u will say, " Oh well, we got lucky last game, so I guess we were do." lol.

 I still think the flag should’ve been thrown on last year’s Colts/Eagles game, (grabbing Matt Ryan’s face mask). 
  Funny, after the game, there were no Eagles fans saying;”we got away with one”. 
  So, I’m just enjoying the win. I do wish they would’ve shown the replay in slo motion to verify but even if it was PI, they had a chance to stop the Colts afterwards.

Well, we have been screwed many times by the REFS, what comes around goes around. Was that a PI at the end, I would say yes but hear me out. We also won with a backup QB, Center, and RB on the road. Nelson, the guy you usually rip, controlled the line of scrimmage, give credit where it is due. We punished them up front. They didn't get 1 call 'BOO HOO', Pittman got Cleary interfered at least twice and they were also holding a lot the whole game, I guess I can cry too  .

 

Harbuagh actually was a big reason they lost. I would have brought Tucker back out again from 62 and he punted instead. He just barely missed from 61 and has made 1 from 66 before. Also on 4 and 3, you throw it to Andrews, not a rookie, it was a bad play call period.

[teganslaw]

I like to see Justin Tucker miss a field goal. He seems like a good person, but the announcers and many Ravens fans practically think of him like a god. That attitude tends to annoy me, so it's nice to see Tucker be human at times.

Beth Mowins was ready to celebrate when that ball was in the air. Then she goes just short in a sad voice  . I have to admit, I thought it was good too, it was right down the middle, and he rarely misses.

Agree.

That type of play/coverage tactic seems to be pretty commonplace in the  NFL DB's arsenal.

Yes I belive the weather condition is why he was short. It was right down the middle though and I thought he made it from the original camera angle. We really don't know how much the extra weight on the ball because it was wet and the extra resistance while it was in the air affected the distance

[Dingus McGirt]

I’ve watched the replay a couple of times.  My favorite sequence is the roar of the crowd as Gay kicks…immediately followed by stunned near-silence as the game winner sails through the uprights.

We really DO know how much the extra weight on the ball from rain factored in.... not at all.  

 

The drag from rain in the air?  Unless it was actively raining sheets, almost nothing.  

 

Kicking an ice cold ball is a lot harder than kicking a wet rainy one.  Freezing temps make it akin to kicking a brick.

[John Waylon]

Yeah, I hate that it happened like that, but I told a buddy of mine who is a Ravens fan that I don’t remember the last time a big no-call in a key situation benefitted us like that but it sure seems to happen for the other team a lot so I wasn’t upset to be on that side for once. Ultimately, it wasn’t that single call that cost Baltimore that game, and even my Ravens fan of a friend admitted as much.

He is also older and not as strong as he once was.   It was very close.   You can't be upset at a guy that misses from 60+

No you can't. I really thought he made it and if it had been a normal fall day, he probably would have made it. It sucks when a kick like that beats you but......respect

Ok. Well I do know a little about physics and I  will respectfully disagree with the assumption that those extra few ounce on the ball, the  raindrops it was hitting in the air did not in any way affect the distance.

If you watch his record breaking kick,  and his miss this week.   He had a completely different approach.   But missing a 61 yard kick should never be a thing to be ashamed of
