Gruden and Tirico are going off on them. With Jerry Austin as well.

Pretty embarrassing.

Bally’s Sports needs to go away
No chance. If the deal gets signed tomorrow, it has to be radified by the owners, looked over and drawn up by the lawyers and everyone has to be mobilized and briefed. All that would have to be done before Thursday night football. No chance.

If a deal happened tomorrow (which isn't likely to happen), it would be a stretch to have it done by the following week (Week 5)

Sharper on NFL network is saying that the CB made a horrible mistake for not knocking the ball down. Going for the INT caused this.

Actually...... Not a bad observation. You are taught right there to bat it down weekly since high school.

He must have been watching a different game as the Seattle WR never caught the ball. All he did was stick a hand in after it was intercepted. Jennings clearly caught it.

Tell that to the Titans yesterday or the many other countless times I've seen a player catch a deflected hail Mary? How many times have you ever seen happen what we just witnessed? Never!

Sharpers reasoning is bogus.

It is how every CB is coached. Right or wrong from our COUCHES..... It is how CB's are taught from Pee-Wee to the Pro's.

He was robbed.... But I get the angle.

That was a spur of the moment, emotional response by me. Maybe, they won't be back next week, but it should put negotiations into high gear this week.

As a football fan (not a Packers fan, always a Cardinals fan), I am thoroughly disgusted! In a year where the Cardinals are off to a blazing start, there is a dark cloud hanging over the league!

I think they're already in high gear. The league just cannot give in to the refs, they have to live with this debacle. Until the refs are willing to be held accountable for their performance, we'll have to live with replacement refs.

Well, it finally happened. The refs cost a team a game, but not as much by the last play, but that blatant offensive pass interference. Don't remember who the GB guy was, but the SEA WR grabbed his face mask. That was a huge call the kept a drive alive.

On the last play the judge in the back of the end zone had the best view as well. Would have liked to hear the convo as to why he was overruled.

This is far less of a travesty than using replacement players which the NFL did for a good part of season. And, let the results count in the season record and help determine playoff berths when the regulars returned!!! These guys are not going to cave quickly no matter how many more bad calls there are. Long term, they know the fans and networks are not going to bail on them.

Funny to go to Seattle boards and listen to fans argue that it was the right call--tie goes to the offense and what not.

The earlier roughing the passer was bogus too. He was outside the pocket and running and the defender had already commited to the hit before the ball was released.

thats rubbish. was it the Tennesse game (?) that was lost because the DB tried to knock the hail mary down and hit it into an opponents arms for the TD
DBs should always try to intercept the pass in that situation. never bat a live ball around a endzone

Again, everyone is comparing the last ten years or so of regular refs mistakes to three weeks of replacement refs....and I think the replacement refs already have more medium to big ones made in those three games. Not to mention a dozen or so smaller ones each game, every game. Not to mention the conferences, the hand holding official on the sideline, etc.

These refs have been absolutely abysmal from day one. It was clearly an INT. he had it against his facemask and chest the whole time. the other guy had anywhere from one hand slightly wedged to barely touching it most of the time. In the end Jennings was laying on top (back first) to Tate. It really wasn't even close. Wasn't close to a tie. A botched call.

Just think, if the Cards wouldn't of held, they would have won TWO games by the scabs. This could cost us a playoff spot at the end of the season (or the niners, or someone else in the NFC).

Of course PC said he thought the refs were doing a fine job. Yeah, a 4th timeout (that PC knew he didn't have but called it anyway by working the scabs), numerous bogus calls going your way above the number going against you, and now a gift win.

And of course again, the refs are right there, miss it all. Watch the replay, miss the call. Mess up the whole procedure of it.

This week even before this call was the worst, and the coaches and players are learning to take advantage of the refs just like I said. It'll only get worse from here too.

They're losing control of the games due to the refs (and the NFL pushing this crap) and their response is to tighten down on the coaches and issue memos and crap to them instead. Unreal.

These first couple were png so the link if you want to see them, the rest are smaller jpeg
