I'd agree with you, but I've seen less contact with the head get called. I just expect consistency from the refs. They don't have to be perfect - just consistent.fiestavike wrote: Maybe, but on a game tying play late in the game it'd be a shame to call that. I don't really care about debating it one way or the other, I wouldn't personelly expect that call to be made.
True. Sam panicked, lost composure, and flubbed the play...again. its a pattern. the guy has some real limitations.purplehaze wrote: That replay shows the ball gone before his arm got hit. I stand by my original post it was a shiddy pass.
I bet Cam Newton would disagree with you.me4get wrote: Not a weak call,. Any other qb and flags would be flying.
Do you understand "follow through"? I mean did you ever throw a football? See when you are expecting to follow through the ball goes on target, but what the arm is suddenly stop it does not.purplehaze wrote: That replay shows the ball gone before his arm got hit.

Come on - you think Bradford is normally that inaccurate? The dude has had some overthrows, but that was unusual for him.purplehaze wrote: That replay shows the ball gone before his arm got hit. I stand by my original post it was a shiddy pass.
Yeah no kidding. It looked like he was going for the jump ball pass to Rudolph on the slant but the defender hitting his shoulder and helmet made him let it go earlier than expected so it sailed on him.VikingLord wrote: Come on - you think Bradford is normally that inaccurate?

Exactly. I'm guessing all week we're going to see the "lets blame Bradford" train start to board passengers.VikingLord wrote: Come on - you think Bradford is normally that inaccurate? The dude has had some overthrows, but that was unusual for him.
No, I wouldn't say it cost us the game. It only cost us a chance at another shot to tie the game. You can't say that if they called it we would have won.The-Purple-Reign wrote:You can't say the botched blow to the head missed call didn't cost us the game. Sure, we played horrible up till then, but that would have given us our shot at a tie at the end of a rather nice drive down the field for the TD. So yes, that missed call cost us the game...
Let's be honest, Rudoph probably would have dropped it if it had been on target anyway.TSonn wrote:

Haha - it hurts because it's true. Right through the gloves.fiestavike wrote: Let's be honest, Rudoph probably would have dropped it if it had been on target anyway.
Yeah, he couldn't follow through on the throw. It was thrown right at Rudolph, but too high because he had to release it early to avoid the oncoming arms of the defender.TSonn wrote: Yeah no kidding.
