[QUOTE=offiss]The thing was as soon as I saw it happen I said touchback because it looked like a no brainer, so whichever way the ref ruled it it was going to stand, it looked like to me they didn't even consider it. once I saw the replay I knew it was a touchback, but I also knew they wouldn't overturn it, but it was a touchback.

The only thing I could say is his foot hit the pyllon and the ball was to his right in the field of play, it was a simple deduction but I knew it would stand.[/QUOTE]

I think the biggest beef NE had that game was a similar call the skins have been on the bs side of the past couple years in that bogus PI call on Samuels.

That joke of a call gave Denver 10 point's in the final 2 minutes.

Re: Champ Bailey
 

Boom he's on his back!

Great INT by Bailey, but he showed lack of focus and yeah that shoulda been a touchback. Also the offensive pass interference was a touchy call and the defensive pass interference was a horrible call.

Yeah i agree. They blew the initial call assuming they were even in position to make it. Was anyone even at the goal line is a good question.

Re: Champ Bailey
 

watson is a quality TE, and i usually pick him up in madden fantasy drafts cause he's so fast and usually available ;)

too bad he's not on our roster.

Re: Champ Bailey
 

A very nice play by Watson. But, the bottom line is that because of Bailey's interception, the Broncos are going to the AFC championship while Watson and the Patriots are going home.

[QUOTE=Ramseyfan]I HATE to think that Bailey left us because we weren't a winning team and he's now on a team that is going to the AFC Championship. Hopefully, the Colts will win tomorrow and spank the living hell out of the Broncos at the RCA Dome.[/QUOTE]

I can't hate on Champ Bailey for wanting out of what he viewed as a bad situation. He was in Washington for six seasons and saw four different head coaches. He was one of the elite players at his position, and when a deal came along that he liked, he took it. He went to a winning team that had a shot at the playoffs. And it's not as though he's just tagging along for the ride. He's actually helping them win. I'm happy for him.

You're a better man than I am for wishing him well. I prefer players who seek to stay with an organization and see it through to wins, rather than quit on the team when it stinks.

Re: Champ Bailey
 

I also can't hate on Champ. It's not like he phoned it in when he was wearing the Burgundy and Gold. He played hard, all the time, and the Champ-Portis deal, I think, was one of the few in modern NFL trade memory where I believe neither team got screwed in the long haul. It was good for Champ, good for Clinton (maybe not as good for his shoulders), and great for both teams.

I have no ill will towards Champ Bailey at all. Which is less than I can say for someone like Antonio Pierce, who was made a star by Gregg Williams and bolted as soon as the G-Strings jingled a couple of coins in his face.

Re: Champ Bailey
 

LOL Yeah I missed it but looks good on him. He hasn't been as good since he left the District.

Re: Bailey
 

[QUOTE=Ramseyfan]I can't even watch that game. In light of today's loss, I'm not going to watch any more games this weekend. I'm in a state of total mourning.[/QUOTE]

Don't allow our loss affect your weekend plans to the existent that you avoid watching some of the best performances in the playoffs in a long time. Yeah, I'm dissppointed, but when we go the Superbowl I want to have enough arsenal on offense that when one goes down, another steps right in and doesn't miss a step. That's what we have to have in order to defeat the best of the AFC teams which we haven't done in a long time. But I feel your pain.

Well said, Champ is one of the few Corners in the League that can change a game around...

Re: Champ Bailey
 

You didn't really criticize Pierce did you? The guy gave us a phenomenal season and they we rewarded him with a lowball offer. If your boss tells you great job and then gives you a joke of a raise are you going to just sit there? I don't blame any football player who takes more money. They sacrifice their long term health for the team.

The thing is, even Pierce admitted our final offer was almost identical to the one he signed with the Giants.
