We tried running, and long passes, and we got ****ed over. So we reverted to short passes to Hines and Heith. And dolt could figure that out.
Or Hines Ward was holding on the guys shirt and pushing him down.
I didnt see anything wrong with that. At first, I thought it was easily PI, but during the close up replay, Ward was grabbing the dudes jersey at the shoulders pads after a bit of contact. I rather have no call but I dont think it was pass intereference. It's my opinion and I'm sticking too it. I'll probably wont ever see it again but from what I saw, I thought it wasnt.

THere is no way they can call that PI on the jags. First it was within 5 yards so contact is allowed. second Ward was pushing him and holding his facemask down. There was as much contact from ward as there was on the other guy. Luckily it didnt lose the Jags the game.
theres to many fvcking penalties in football.
You can touch the receiver as long as the planet is on 3/4 tilt during its 22nd rotation and the wind is blowing north west by south east.
If your hands are touching the ground when you receive the ball its incomplete, but if you have possession of the top half of the ball and the lower half touches the ground its complete.
If you touch defensive player above his lower abdominal area on his upper shoulder pads its a 100 yard fvck you penalty.
If you spike the ball after play you get to suck the refs dick in front of a live audience
If you celebrate after scoring an impossible touchdown, you must commit suicide...,you lose
I admit that there are some rules and penalities are a tad bit extreme.
Pretty much the spiking and TD celebration ones. Who gives a shit. I agree that you should give a penalty if the player spikes the ball away if he is trying to kill the clock after the two minute warning but just spiking the ball is just annoying.
Any those protect the QB fouls are sometimes a tad bit wierd. It's ironic that I find fans from a team complain that the penalty was a piece of shit for the defense who laid a hand on the QB's helmet but then goes to say that," well we gotta to protect star players", when it happens in reverse.
Meh, I dont really see how teams do near the end of the season as anything to do with playoffs.
Look at the yesterdays matchups. Seattle looked like shit for awhile, while the Redskins destroyed the Cowboys, and in the end, the Redskins lost while the Jags were the clear favourites against the Steelers because they havnt been looking good and it took the Jags the last two minutes to win the game.
Look at the Colts last year, everybody said they wont come close and they won 3 out of 4 games pretty easily.
The five yard rule is void when the ball is in the air....the ball was definitely in the air. To me it looked like the corner grabbed him and Ward was trying to push him away to get the ball. Ward is going for the ball, the corner didn't even see it and was just trying to press Ward. That was one of the most obvious calls I have ever seen. I can't believe people are actually saying it shouldn't have been called.

Yeah it was really obvious, but the other way. There was no doubt the corner had contact on Ward while the ball was in the air, but Ward was also pulling his facemask at the time. What Ward did to the corner was worse than what the corner did. It should have been called on Ward, or not at all.
The day that was a good call is the day Terrell Owens is a class act.
Class is overrated.
If that is not an obvious call then I guess it's alright for a corner to hold a receiver, impede his progress and not get called for PI. Look at the play again, look at who grabbed who first then you'll understand. The corner grabbed Ward first then Ward was trying to fight him off to get the ball. The same ball he knew was in the air but the corner didn't. The defender HAS to play the ball or it will be pass interference every time. The corner didn't even look at it. Know the rules.
