I still think he threw his arms up to complain.

really?

OK, to be fair, I'll split the difference.

He threw up his arms to complain. But he couldn't play the man closer because Johnson had achieved illegal separation.

Choke on a dick, reerun. Shitty defense and shitty playcalling killed us in the end. Now why don't you return to your fingerpainting?

Michael Irvin made it to the Hall of Fame doing the same thing. Good, big, strong receivers will do a 1 arm push off and it isn't called the majority of time.

I heard this. It was early in the game and Gus said it.

You're absolutely right about Irvin. But the irony of the rest of your post is that OPI WAS called multiple times in later games Sunday. :grr:

At this point, you bet. Apparently he doesn't learn from his mistakes. He pulled the same shit toward the end of the Indy game. That wasn't quite as egregious, but it should have been enough to register.

offensive pass inference is called more now, than when Irvin played

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but it wasn't a big push. That type of hand, and single arm jostling happens on almost every play.

if you need to push off, you aren't a good WR.

Everyone is making this out to be the worst playcall in modern history.

It was bad.

What was worse was Cassel's read on it. He had Bowe, who he targeted all game breaking open.

I have zero problems with the game Weis called.

We put up more than 400 yrds of O. I dont quite understand your hate here. If its solely for the 3rd and 2 call, then fine. But, the bulk of your anger for that play should be at Cassel for making a terrible throw, or missing Bowe coming across.

Flowers got called for an arm bar. Watch the replay again. Before Johnson ever pushes off Flowers is impeding his progress with his right arm as he turns back to look for the ball.

Again, the game's on the line - whose number are you going to call? The playmaker, or the playbreaker? As Clint Eastwood might say, a man's got to know his limitations.

It was beyond bad. It was mindless and it cost us the game. And when I say that, I mean the wretched defense would have been overcome and the terrible blown call would have never happened had we just rushed for those two yards. No one will ever convince me otherwise.
