What an absolute joke of a call and/or rule. I don't know the rule well enough to singularly blame the officials, but members of the receiving team on a punt shouldn't be able to throw a blocker into the ball and then claim possession. That's just stupid.

no. Weis fail. he might actually already be in Gainesville as I post this. I'm not saying it's the reason the Chiefs lost....but a major douchey move to accept a sub lateral move with your current team still in the playoffs.
Apparently if the blocker is engaged, it is fair game to try and steer him into the ball, think about it... if the blocker knew where the ball was, he would be able to get out of the block and get out of the way... if he was grabbed, that would be holding.
I don't mean to post this in a knee-jerk reaction to the Packers going up 7-0, but the Eagles will have a very tough time winning this game. They need Michael Vick to be Superman because Aaron Rodgers is just too good. If the Packers continue success running the ball, the Eagles may as well forfeit. I hope DeSean Jackson comes back. Would be a shame if he didn't.
i love how the liberal media hoped on this Vick is the best and can't be stopped stuff. This is the NFL, anybody can be stopped. This isn't college football.
Damn Jones dropped a sure TD with a perfect throw in stride by Rodgers. Could have been the difference maker in the game going up 21-3 at half with the ball to the start the 3rd quarter.
Yeah. Don't you remember Rush said it was the liberal media that made Donovan McNabb out to be a great player when there was really nothing special about him. It was because he was black.
If Green Bay loses, a lot of blame needs to go to McCarthy for pulling a Kubiak in the final two minutes of the first half. Yes, I know they took the one shot that Jones dropped... but other than that, they played not to lose. Let 35 seconds elapse by not calling a TO before the Philly field goal, came out with a running play, and then let the final 30 seconds of the half run off after making it to the 45 (only 20 yards or so from FG range). You can't take your foot off the gas against an explosive opponent.
