[pehawk]

I expect the Rams to get ALOT of calls tonight. Cards are going to get screwed...

Why's that?

Walt Coleman reffing. Expect a LOT of penalties and plenty of shit calls. He's bad like Bill Leavy.

Bill Leavy generally isn't too bad. Unfortunately we just had to experience his worst day at the worst possible time.

Disagree. He was bad in our game vs. Dullass this year.



Already 3 penalties in the first 3 mins. Gonna be a 3 1/2 hour game tonight for sure.

Good, then I'll be able to watch the last quarter. I get off work usually early in the 2nd quarter and by the time I get home, it's normally mostly through the third quarter. Tonight I have an extra stop to make, so I figured I may miss the whole thing. If they can take their time, I might get to see the end and celebrate our soon to be lead in the NFC West :th2thumbs:

So why do you feel that way?
(so far it's kinda gone that way)

I really hate kicking here, but the point about points being at a premium this game is true at least.

Agree. If it's 4th and a half yard, maybe. But in that situation, no.

Awesome, I am only getting the Spanish broadcast. Commercials are in English.


Edit: Sadly, the cable box just got messed up.

Points > No points

Just a lil theory. Seattle will get calls this Sunday too.

I mean mathematically it's still really bad not to go for it there, but I sort of think the Rams can lock this one down with 17-20 points, so I won't totally hate. Unfortunately there's no question that Phil Simms is in a state of untouchable euphoria right now over the decision to kick, since that guy lives to advocate for the most conservative decision every single time.

If it's conspiracy stuff, the NFL surely knows that we're the better team, and it seems like it would be better for them if they could prolong the NFC West race into week 17. A Rams win here opens up a strong possibility of us clinching next Sunday.

 

[MidwestHawker]

Pehawk theorem definitely held up on that call though. That was flimsy.

Stanton throws a pretty ball. Cardinals are killing themselves with penalties. They really can't run the ball worth a damn can they?

To play devil's advocate.. in such a crazy conspiracy world.. one could argue that the league would benefit more from Week 16 being the defacto NFC West title game on Sunday Night Football.

 

[HawkWow]

Penalties the difference thus far. For sure.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Damn it Tre.

 

[Sarlacc83]

No penalty on the fumble.

Nice work, Mason.

 

[pmedic920]

And now turnovers

Meh maybe so. I mean I don't buy the conspiracy stuff anyway, but if I did then you may be right.

With the way the Rams ends fly up the field on passing downs, you'd think they get hit more by plays like that.
