Complete total a** rape by the officials

[ESAD2-14]

Yes the team played down to the competition again, but to think the refs did not have an effect on the game is pure denial. If Caldwell would have lost that game with the help he had from ****ty calls against Houston, he should have been fired on the spot.

This was point-blank embarrassing.

Glad my ass don't have to go to work tomorrow.

penalties on one drive?????r u serious???? there was **** calls on every drive on both sides of the ball. dont be afraid to call out the refs. we have enough going against us we dont need 7 a holes in stripes f'ing us every chance they get......

Look. We were in that position though. Those penalties were inexcusable and the defense is gonna get beat up if our ****ty ass, banged up offense can't stay on the field.

I'm sick of hearing this "we should have never been in the position to begin with" **** when it comes to sports. Tough ****, we were.

He secured his job with a playoff spot and now its the same old, same old.

Oh Bullsh-t. Kubiak called a bad game, he has a rookie 3rd string QB, no #1WR, numerous injuries, and a back up D Coordinator he didnt need 15 **** calls.

Fair, there were other penalties on other drives, but we also had more than our fair share of opportunities to put this team away. Don't also be afraid to call this team out when they don't play like how we all know they're capable of.

We're fighting for a first round bye, and the Colts are racing for Luck, we should have been able to handle the Colts + refs and not have it come down to one score on the final drive.

They had Allen and Kareem on Wayne for the ENTIRE game. I have no idea why they did this, but that's what they did.

[Trail.Blazr]

The refs didn't rape as much as the playcalling did. Protecting Yates is what the talking heads claimed the run heavy attack was. I don't get the concept. If you can't let TJ throw the ball more than ten times in a game then he will only get better at handoffs.

I'd love to ask Kubiak what he's scared of. Let the kid play for crying out loud.

Did I excuse the refs? No, I did not. I clearly said that yes, the refs screwed us, but Kubiak also made massive mistakes with this game.

Did kubiak take any chances? NO! Championship coaches take some risks he has shown me NOTHING the past few weeks.

He has reverted back to his old self now that he secured his job saving playoff spot.

If you wanna blame anyone, blame Reggie ! That dude sux as a dc PERIOD

[PhilpW]

Refs sucked, no doubt. But a prevent defense on the final drive. Wade-less effort. And 16 points against this dog-assed Colts team is ridiculous.

I realize that most of you won't agree with me but I really do believe I just watched a fixed game. I'm convinced of it and I feel like throwing up right now. I think we just saw the NFL through officiating hand a competitive advantage to the Colts to keep the prime-time game interesting.

The NFL for years has been morphing into something I have a hard time accepting as the same sport I watched as a kid. Tonight I realized that I'm watching something about as legitimate as the WWE.

Y'know a friend once told me that primetime games are usually close because the refs make sure it is so. Sometimes with games like this you gotta wonder what went on out there, too many drive saving calls for the Colts.

I think "fixed" might be a strong word, but it sure as hell feels like the refs had marching orders to give the edge to the Colts.

There is no way that was simply awful officiating. The refs were shady. I doubt it was an order from the NFL or something though

Totally agree. Worst officiating I've ever witnessed.
On a level that warrants some kind of investigation.

But there won't be because its the Texans and they know that.

[fiasco west]

On a slightly different note.

Why does it feel like every time Watt touches the opposing QB it's a roughing call?

Is there some stat on this? I'm sure he has like 5 of them this year and none of them justified.

[speedfreek]

I'll say it again, the NFL didn't want Indy to get the first pick and take Luck. Peyton is one of their media darlings and the ****storm that would have created would have been bad press for the league.

I believe the NFL threw this game to attempt to avoid Indy getting the first pick. Thereby keeping Manning with the Colts and having Luck go somewhere else.

Manning is the NFL version of the 90's NBA Jordan.

And, just like the NBA, they have no problems putting the fix in when it helps the league..
