The refs overall have screwed the Jets on numerous occasions in 2006 but after the Vikings game when I was looking at the playoff scenerios, a particular play from the Bengals-Bucs game on 10/15/06 came back to me. TB was driving with about two minutes left when Justin Smith caused a sack and recovered a fumble sealing an apparent 13-7 win. But Smith was called for a bogus roughing the passer penalty erasing the fumble and allowing TB to continue their drive which resulted in the game-winning TD with :35 to play. It was not even close to roughing the passer, the same type play that the Jets were called on the week before in Jax erasing a safety on Leftwich.At that time it was no big deal to us Jets fans because Cincinnati was terrible anyway. But look at the difference it's made now -the Bengals should be 9-5. I guess there's one screw up which will help us this year.....:up:
I know we got screwed against Cleveland but who else? That TB game more than makes up for it - we own the tie-breaker on the Benglas if we win out -right now that game on 10/15 is looking like a bigger screw-up as long as the Jets win their final two......in other words it may very well by itself keep the Bengals out of the playoffs. Understand now??
I hope we dont get screwed wit the refs on christmas....cuz they have screwed us b4 down here....:finssuck:
The Jets would of tied the Cleveland game -who knows what would of happened in OT. That Bengals-Bucs game was over in the Bengals favor until the refs threw the flag on one of the most ridiculous calls of the year...but that's OK
They also screwed up the muffed punt earlier in the game, if we get that then maybe the Baker TD gives us the win not the tie.
possibly. But you just cant say we'd be 10-4......we still could HAVE(not of)lost the cleveland game...and we definitely still lose the Indy game...If Peyton needed three TD's in the last 2 mins to win, he would have gotten it...They were moving the ball at will, would not HAVE(not of) mattered
Even if they don't call PI on Miller Manning is leading the to a TD, our D couldn't do anything to stop them that 2nd half. That was my biggest concern after Miller's KR TD- we left them too much time.
The other thing everyone forgets about the Indy game was going for it on 4th down (which I supported and still do) instead of kicking the field goal... I think that was the bigger factor in that game than the P.I. call, which I thought was bullshit, but I gotta be fair
No question, that was an idiotic call. 4th and 1 ok but 4th and G from the 3 in a tie game? just dumb.
I wouldn't go as far as to call it idiotic... after driving the field for 16 plays I can see why he went for it... however, he should have taken the 3...
it's idiotic from the 3 in that situation. Needing 3 yards there is like going for it on 4th and 20 from 40. Everything tightens up down there, there's not mcuh room and to add to it we ran a pass play rolling to the short side of the field to make it even more difficult.
I hear what your saying but at the time Nugent was missing everything and couldn't be trusted and Chad hadn't thrown a redzone pick in his career (he still is one of the best red zone qb's for all you haters) ... so bad call yeah... idiotic seems a bit harsh, but eh... it's over
I don't care if Nugent missed 40 in a row, it would have been a 21 yard attempt and he would make it. They didn't not kick b/c of shaken confidence in Nugent, Nugent had been kicking very well since the debacle in Tennessee anyway.
