Thanks. My Sun. was rather busy with a b-day party right during the game, then we went down 14 points at the beginning and probably just like the team zoned out who was playing what, when, and where. Between getting pissed off at the play selection, players miscue's, and the Rams playing better, the Refs kept pissing me off.
I know no team should leave the game up to the Refs and we shouldn't have to blame the Refs but .... OMG, between our bad plays and the Refs handing the Rams the game I was just pissed.
I'll say it again.... Remember the Lions week 1 catching the TD pass in the endzone, which almost every normal human being called a TD, but the Refs applying some rule said "no TD" because the ball moved after the WR made a perfect catch with both feet in bounds, a football move by turning and facing the back of the endzone the whole while controling the ball up until he hit the ground with it and it rolled out of his hand. The rule shouldn't have mattered.... he caught the ball, in the endzone and controlled it for atleast 3 steps, TD. but no.
Then yesterday during the Rams game pass thrown to the WR at the 1 yrd line who got hit and while falling the ball hit the ground and bounced up and hit him in the face mask, but he grabbed it back up. The Refs gave them the spot at the 1 yrd line. If the rule is to be applied equally across the board then that was no catch because the ball moved when it hit the ground. The player did not control the ball.
That was just one play. I saw holding by the Rams OL all day. Rogers got a penalty that I guess was a good penalty, although I felt he had a right to go for the ball also, but the Refs over look the holding call on the Center keeping us from getting a sack. WTF?
