Chiefs The unsportsmanlike call on McClain catch - Page 2

Deberg_1990 · 11-01-2011, 06:45 AM

First of all, great catch by McClain. Unbelievable he was able to hang on to that.

But just how exactly is a defender supposed to defend that? Stop, hold up and wait until the guy catches it and makes a football move before he comes in to to make the tackle?? Is this seriously what the NFL wants? On the replay it didnt even look like the defender led with his helmet. It looked like he led with his shoulder. Perhaps Claythan can gif this up if he hasnt already?

Did you notice how he was nearly blowing Rivers all night?
Also, in reference to the instant replays...

Gruden bitched about the IR system several times when it was going to benefit the Chiefs, not a damn word when it was going to go the other way. (Well, except the obvious Mccluster-**** up fumble).
I really hate that guy.

I hope not. Gruden is a competent coach.

I couldn't agree more.

Officiating was as bad as it got last night. Overturning sh*t that shouldn't have been (Cassel's forward pass), letting stuff stand that should have beenn overturned (McCluster hitting the ground for 2 seconds before the ball popped out), continued pussification of the league (McClain roughing the defenseless receiver - kudos to Gruden going off on that). And there are still a few I haven't pointed out. So Godawful a performance that a group of Pee Wee Football Refs could have done better without trying.

They went both ways, I think we got screwed more than they did, and ours were way worse (the refs gave them 2 turnovers AND a 2 point conversion...) but then again I'm obviously biased.

You know it's bad when instant replay makes it crystal clear and the refs still blow it...over and over...

Yes it is. The sad part is they couldn't be prouder and they're using "safety" as their reasoning when it's really all abot money $$$.

No. That would be the Chiefs who gave them a 2 point conversion.

The ball clearly broke the plane. Take the Chiefs goggles off.

This. Crown of the helmet in McClain's facemask.

It broke the plane on the TD, I never saw it break the plane on the 2 pointer, the only angle where it appeared to was from the back side at 45 degress. Thanks for the link proving your point...NOT.

I shouldn't need a link to prove my point. It was proven last night on replays. Ball in hand, over white line, 2-pt conversion. Doesn't get much simpler than that.

A picture is worth a thousand words, Grasshopper. Your driveling at the mouth doth not sway me.

Yep. I wonder if dude knows that the football just needs to break the goal-line, not go completely over it. It was clearly a good conversion.

Dude, it was clearly good. They showed it at 3 different angles and did the IR to confirm.

Possibly. It certainly cost us at least 3 points.

The Gates call cost them 4 points.

I'm not saying that all the calls evened out. But there were enough bad ones on both sides that I'm not too upset about them.

It was clearly close, at least you admit it did not completely go over it, it barely broke the goal line if it did at all. Great link to prove your point as well.

You mean like Dexter's "fumble"? Or more like Cassel's "fumble".

Clearly though since the NFL Officials reviewed it it must have been right....cause they're never wrong...
