Stealers WR grabs defenders facemask and the defender gets a pass
interference called on him. Of course it was 4th and goal, for the go-ahead
TD. The NFL refs are simply pathetic.

It *was* PI, so try not to feel too torn up over it.

I didn't see it that way.

And non-linemen offensive players rarely get called for facemasks
unless
they yank and pull someone down by it.

So, it's ok because they don't usually call it...sort of like it was ok
for Vilma to poke that guy in the eye...hell, they caught it several days
after the fact, so that should be enough for the common viewer, right?

What was nice is they took the lead got their hopes up then lost. So

I'll have to check it again, but I'd bet that the league
would say that the contact happened as the interception was
occuring, and as such, constituted a block rather than PI.

It worked out like a punt, thankfully. We got the ball back around
the 40 and scored.

Another ex-Seahawk back in the news! Stephen

Refs try but cannot win the games for the Bears no wonder they win.

Refs -- Pitt / Indy game Keep in mind, I was cheering for Indianapolis. (My own hometown team has been out of the picture since 1889). But I gotta admit.... How is it tackling the receiver isn't interference and a clear interception is an incomplete pass? To be fair, it did take

Patsies payed refs and audio people There will be an investigation as to why the Refs were blowing calls and why B.B. was having JDR's radio turned off. Jags would have won on a fair playing field.

Best back in NFL If you dont know that Brian Westbrook is the best running back in the NFL; you know nothing about football.
