Irsay says league admits they messed up

[GoColts8818]

I believe most called this Sunday.

[Indyfan4life]

Was wondering how long it would take them to actually admit this. Now everyone can drop it that they made the correct calls.

Sorry my tinfoil hat is on and it’s covering my ears.

He is about to get fined. Glad Richardsons surgery went well.

Honestly good on Jim for bringing it to light. This confirms what we all saw on Sunday.

It will be interesting to see if other owners come out and agree with him, looking at the Rams and Dolphins owners who had very questionable calls go against them sunday as well.

[JediXMan]

Isn’t this going to make the refs go against us even more now lol.

Docking the team a pick for the comments of Irsay would be ridiculous.

Especially since I think we have been penalized enough with the L.

[richard pallo]

Good for Jim.  He could care less about any forthcoming fine.  His comments were for the fans.  He’s also a fan.  He’s upset about it like the rest of us.

Doubt they do that.  The NFL isn’t stupid and knows their fans have eyes.  Docking a team for publicly saying what the NFL told them and confirmed what fans saw will just make the league look bad.  They may fine him but I am guessing it ends there beyond maybe the league telling Irsay behind closed doors dude don’t do that.  Worth remembering that Goodell works for the Owners too.

Agreed. I’m ready for this weekend already. Beating the Saints would do nicely.

When is the last time we beat the Saints? Opening game after our SB win?

I believe we beat them with Luck once. 
 

Edit: correction it was not during Lucks time. It was 2007… wow…

I don't think so either, just would be the topping in the cake.

Heck they should be giving us a pick.

[throwing BBZ]

 

 I shore feel better now.

Or, i'm still sick we beat the Ravens.

They will. A pick between paying fine with cash or card lol. 

[tweezy32]

If they decide to punish the colts for Irsay comments, you bet your A Irsay will be on the phone with mcafee to tell him to destroy them on  his show!

[MB-ColtsFan]

Meaningless without accountability.

I think that’s part of what Irsay is trying to force.   By publicly airing the NFL’s dirty laundry they can’t hide from the fact the officials messed up.

[John Waylon]

Well, thanks. 
 

I guess. 
 

There was a really simple way to avoid this but whatever. 

[cbear]

Seriously, I thought the nfl says after the fact when they missed calls? Or am I thinking of the nba. I know some one does. Not that it helps us of course. 

[AKB]

doesn't matter still a loss. 

[KB]

We're good to tie that ref to the top of the soilders and sailors monument now, right?

[2006Coltsbestever]

This was obvious to anyone that had 2 working eyes.

 

It still doesn't take the loss away and it was a big loss because the difference between 4-3 and 3-4 is huge when fighting for a playoff spot. 

 

We got screwed and just have to take it. SAD really. Fans don't deserve this.

 

 

[CR91]

What does it matter if the league admits they messed up or not if there's no accountability? It's not like the refs lose anything.

[Solid84]

I still think it's ridiculous a professional league like the NFL don't employ full-time refs.

I'm not sure if this is true, but I was told once the refs get graded and the best get to be refs in the playoffs/super bowl? If that's true I guess there's a loss of money, but if not then at least prestige?

I’ve said it before but he should pick cash and pay it in pennies.

[bluebombers87]

Glad Irsay said it. Was frustrated that Steichen didn’t address it in his conference but likely was told by Irsay he would be doing so.

 

The only way things will change is if enough attention on the topic forces the league into responding.

 

When you have someone like McAfee, who has a very large audience openly making a connection between gambling and referees, it shows there is a large enough contingent who feel similarly right or wrong.

I agree with this 100%. It should be a 1st rounder, just add an extra pick at the end of round 1 so it doesn't affect other teams 1st round picks. That would give us the 33rd pick. Something huge needs be done because the REFS cost us the loss. That loss was critical because now a team like the Browns has 2 less losses and the tiebreaker over us for Wildcard spot.

I totally agree with this.
