See my earlier explanation. I swear some you of just need to a little nougat to chew on and overblow it out of proportion. We're beating a bad team. If we are really good as what we think we are, we shouldn't be reading more than what it is. Jesus christ, some of you have inferiority complex up the ass. Staunchly defend a blow out win against a hapless Bucs team? Act like you've been there before (I know we haven't, but act like it for chissakes).
roflmao kubiak even when he can't lose a challenge (that he was going to lose) ends up worse after throwing the flag.
i would love to hear the reasoning behind that rule. 15 yd penalty for throwing a challenge flag on a play that is going to be reviewed regardless?
Dominate Indy... expected Dominate Steelers (with a close final score)... they were "injured" Dominate Tennessee... they were awol Dominate Cleveland... they were awol Dominate Tampa.... they were awol And they get criticized for winning ugly against Miami AND Jacksonville. So basically, the Texans don't have a real win this year (wink). I do know that its becoming exceedingly rare for a good team to dominate bad teams every single week in today's NFL... there just aren't that many terrible teams, and there aren't the elite "dynasty" type teams like the 80's 49ers anymore. Even if its just "taking care of business", the way the Texans have done that so consistently this year is worth mentioning alone.
Oh, and another officiating pet peeve: the play absolutely WAS NOT confirmed. You can't see what happens to the ball when it goes into the shadows. It's the right call not to overturn, because there's no clear view of it hitting the ground... but there's not a clear view of a catch, either. Unfortunately, the officials are so damn sensitive that they take every opportunity they can to pat themselves on the back.
Bucs aren't a terrible team, but we certainly exposed them as pretenders. Regarding the Saints and Falcons, keep in mind division games can be unpredictable.
They get criticized for falling apart the last few seasons. They have had promise before. I think this team is different and much better, but I can understand hesitation by national analysts to put faith in the team.
The NFL wants to limit any and all confrontation between players/coaches and their precious, sensitive officials. That's the reasoning, whether they admit it or not.
