Thanks for posting that. Reminded me of the fun '09-10 years with Rex. I loved when we recovered the onside kick. Rex: "Thank God. Thank fucking God."
"He's gone! He's fucking gone! Look at my fucking guy go! He's gone! Go, baby, go! Yeeaaa!" **Tony Dungy's head explodes**
I think the worst call was the roughing the passer on Pace on Oakland's last drive. It was like come on man, just give them the 7 points already so the Jets don't cover the spread. That game really was as one sided as I've ever seen, but we gotta do our part to clean it up. We got away with it against Oakland, but against any other team we're not going to be able to do it (maybe the Giants). Losing the turnover battle by two, leaving points on the field by missing chances in the redzone (we need 7 not 3 and we can't turn the ball over there), dropping sure fire pick sixes, and the fucking penalties! We clean that up, we run the ball effectively against Green Bay, we control the clock, and we don't turn it over or get called for 100 yards worth of penalties and we got a good chance at going 2-0!
Anyone saw Rex leading the team from the buses to the stadium pre-game? In between high fives with the Jets fans he was talking mad shit to the Raiders fans that lined the walkway. The dude is hilarious.
I was confused about that too. After watching it a few times I just decided they must be talking about the other TD they scored earlier in the game. Looks like someone in the backround is holding on a block. Didn't catch the player tho. But after I watched this video I watched a few more from other teams and their coaches just seemed nerdy and trying so hard to fit in with their players after watching Rex.
I think on their first TD after the WR caught the pass and ran outside 2 of our players in pursuit were held trying to get over to tackle him. Gave him a clear lane to the EZ. He may have scored anyway and surly would have had at least 1st and goal from the 5-ish so you got to give the Raiders at least 3 there, maybe even the full 7, who knows. But seeing our guys in pursuit getting held to prevent the tackle was bad. Everyone saw it. The whole stadium saw it. Everyone but the Ref standing 10 feet away watching the play saw it. Or maybe the Ref did see it like everyone else, but didn't call it, and that's where the Ref-bias chatter comes in. We all know the NFL as a whole does MUCH better when games are close and viewer ship spikes. Nothing like a blowout to kill ratings. Hmmm.
Yeah, especially after Simms spent a full 5 minutes talking about the Decker hold on the previous series.
That was ridiculous. The Decker hold that was called prior to that was less egregious. Fuck those refs. There was one looking right at it too.
