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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

Heck they should be giving us a pick.

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 wish I could go back and re-live the Manning days. I didn’t appreciate enough at the time how awesome it was to wake up Sunday morning and pretty much know the Colts were going to win and 18 was going to do something special. 
    • after SB celebrations me and my family decided to skip out on the parade out of fear of not getting into the dome. Found out later they had to turn people away at the doors. It was so loud in there you could only feel the screams leave your body. That place was rocking.    to OP, I miss a lot of things about the Peyton era, but I’ll go with one less talked about. I miss Bob Sanders and and his effect on the defense. I miss Tony Dungy and his always punt/kick the field goal ways. 
    • Absolutely- and this is a central way many fans are disconnected from the priorities of the Colts brass.    CB and SS would love a division title, sure, but if they were being honest they would admit this is, in reality, a throw away season- everything they are doing revolves around developing AR, and that supersedes winning. If that wasn’t the case, much would be different, ie Richardson would be using his legs much more on designed runs and scrambles rather than being trained as a pocket passer; Taylor would have played 4th Q va Packers; and people calling for Flacco to start would possibly get what they want.    Personally I agree with the focus on Richardson’s development and health.     
    • The key to stopping Watt is to run the ball well. Not get into a situation where wr have to throw. Need to have sustained drives and not get behind the sticks.   I am excited for this game.I am excited if the d can play well again and if AR can play better then last week.
