Because if they played in Kansas City they could be subject to blackout.

I hope the defense doesn't harp on this call and takes responsibility for not protecting the 10-point lead they were given. That will make us a better football team. Griping about the refs...won't.

Maybe this will be a learning experience for us?
That you can't just go to sleep when you have a lead like this.
Even when you've done a good job against a high-powered offense for one half of the game.

heh, someone needs to post screen shots of Flowers goin off on that ref. At first he did a good job of ignoring Flowers, but then it looked like he was going to throw him out later on.

I'm not sure but I like the idea.:D

Flowers should have concentrated on trying to keep playing the ball and the man, instead of throwing his hands up and looking for a ref.

ROFL

kind of hard when he get push in the back and flies 3 yards

I thought it was a horrible call, but good teams find ways to overcome those.

Although I will say that, on the other hand, I'm also a big believer in momentum, and maybe the correct call there turns things.

But good teams find a way to win anyway.

I think his hands flew up because he was trying to keep his balance, and he couldn't play the man any tighter because the man had just created separation with a shove to the back. Now, if Johnson had stayed inbounds and Flowers spent more time looking for a flag instead of tackling him, I think that criticism would be justified.

It probably could have been a no call. HOWEVER, once the flag was out of the refs pocket, and the ref came up with defensive pass interference vs offensive pass interference... :shake:

I'd agree with that if it's in the middle of a game, but not with less than two minutes left in a tight game. That's a 40 yard swing.

Incase you guys need a replay

He should've done a Flair flop.

I really hope Haley doesn't allow this team to make any excuses for this loss.
Don't even talk about the play. Talk about surrendering a 10-point lead with 7 minutes to play. Own this loss. Cause it hurts like hell for me... I know it's GOTTA be a bitch for those players. Use that as motivation never to let this happen again and to improve as a team.
