Whistle Swallowing Zebras

honestly we've gotten away with a lot too. The facemask wasn't really a facemask. i saw the clothesline too, but I've seen 2 bad PI's on us that haven't been called (both very important).

 

I thought it was a facemask too, but... after seeing it again it wasnt really that bad.

the ray lewis helmet to helmet on ricky though... that needs to be called. its a shame it wasnt. careers can end that way.

 

From my view (i thought it was a facemask originally too) he touched his facemask but grabbed his shoulder pad (that's what made his head turn). After the replay I decided that he didn't grab the facemask at all.

 

Chad Pennington throwing 4 interceptions is the reason we lost, I wouldn't blame the refs on this one...

 

Screw the call on ray lewis being missed he should be suspended and fined for that helmet on helmet SPEAR.
The suggs extra punch to ronnie 30 seconds after the whistle was brutal too.

But yeah Hoculi sure missed a ton of calls today, not the reason we lost by any means but I do expect a better officiated game for the playoffs.


EDIT: I hope Tennesse kicks the **** out of the cocky ravens next week.

 

Yeah what about the cheap shot by terrell suggs on ronnie brown! I think he should be suspened for the Tenn game!

There was lots of uncalled penalties on both sides of the ball, the helmet to helmet penalty is usually never called unless it was extremly dirty, although you are right, but the face mask was called correctly, he didnt grab the facemask or use it to bring him down his hand just went across it.

Btw that is not the reason you lost: here is a hint Chad Pennington 1TD 4INTS
Also the Cobbs fumble.

The better team won today and you know it!

 

Isn't that the truth!
Yes, I saw alot of dirty plays that were not called on them dirty ravens... however I did see 2 Pass interferences that were not called on Will Allen. Both on 3rd downs too, I believe.

The hit on Williams by Ray Lewis (speared him, helmet to helmet) was such an obvious call. Those should ALWAYS be called due to the fact that they are in place for the players' safety.

 

gotta love jake long pancaking suggs on that play too hmm.. i dont think ronnie was acting like a little princess either.

stop whining about the refs. u guys had a great season. u won ur division

 

What did Ronnie do? Pancake blocks are legal.

The only play that really annoyed me was the last interception by Reed, because the receiver was being held and got tackled before the ball got there.

 

He didn't have to make some of those throws. It was an overthrow to Ginn on the first INT... if he drops that ball a foot then it's first down Miami Dolphins. On the 2nd interception, it was just a terrible, terrible decision. The offensive line sure as hell didn't tell Pennington to throw that ball deep when Ginn was double covered... He didn't throw it accurately either.

The game wasn't lost completely because of Pennington, but there's no need to act like we should place the entire game on the line and the wide receivers.

 

all his long throws were overthrown, bad day at a bad time.

 

The calls went both ways. Chad lost the game for you. 4 picks are the reason not the refs.

 

im defending my player just like ur defending yours by saying that i dont think suggs would hit ronnie for no reason when we are up by 11 points and no former hate between any of our players

the play was over by the time long got there that was my point

 

Offensive line as a whole didn't do us too many favors either.

 

Both teams got away with alot of calls IMO. I think thats Ed Hochuli's fault because he and his crew have been scared to call anything since Den/SD.

But the 5 turnovers didn't help either.

 

Part of those INt's go on the O-line shoulders too. They were absolutly awful.

 

Unfortunately true, but we are a young team that is climbing. Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are making one last push for a Super Bowl before ending up at[mod]No smack[/mod]

 

Chad was not at his best today. But next year we will be better -- better OLine, better DLine, better WR's -- this team will just be BETTER PERIOD !

 

once again this is a dolphins forum

 

yea im well aware of that.. i didnt say anybody's conclusion on here was wrong. i just added mine .

thx for the reminder

 

Yes it is, but we also welcome rival fans who want to discuss football in a civil manner.

 

There is no way to defend Suggs. Ronnie is one of the nicest, most humble guys in the league.

He fought for yards and Suggs pretty much attacked him at the bottom of the pile. Why? For running hard?

 

suggs has to be the nicest lb in the league. lol im joking

 

We can argue all we want...Bottom line was that we didint execute. Thats the bottom line.

 

Very well put Marty, and EXACTLY what I was thinking.

On the other hand, obviously without Chad, we wouldnt have been sniffing this game.

What did piss me off is how freakin dirty the dirty birds are.
The helmet to helmet by Ray (Puts the Ray in Overrayted) lewis, and that absolute NON-SENSE by Terrel Suggs punching Ronnie when he was down, from behind and behing held down by other players.
A good friend of mine is a diehard Cinci fan that warned me, I figured she was just an obvious rival hater....but she was very very correct, those are some very dirty players on the Ravens defense.....

 

you left out when Suggs choked Brown on the ground and then started hitting him in the facemask while under the pile... Probably would have been an ejection from a real officiating crew

 

No ONE lost this game. We win as a team and we lose as a team. We'll continue to work our butts off and come back stronger next season!

 

The Suggs on Brown thing really irked me.... I hope we sign Suggd and Bart Scott when they hit the market..... for that matter I would take their center as well....

 

This time next week Ravens fans will be right where we are today...on the losing end.

 

You showed class for much of the past week.

Please let us continue to think kindly of you as a person but your smack will not distract from the other Raven's fans who have posted here over the past week.
