That was not an interception by Cleveland late in the half, and Braylon Edwards was down by contact. Even Dan Diedorf couldn't believe what he saw called. As a football fan (not a Cardinal fan), I can objectively say that they were the wrong calls.

Can you also objectively say that was a force out on Kellen Winslow and should have been a TD? Just curious...

One of these were well made up for in the end on the force out... we won, that all that matters right now!

But, yeah, freakin' refs, screw them.

That was one of the worst officiating games I have ever seen. The effing reffing was awful.

Even without the hit, his momentus was taking him out of bounds. Good call.


Possibly.....I'd have to see it again.....one of the Cards DB's though put a forearm into his back when he want up......could be considered incedental contact though as he was looking at the ball and went up for it.....not sure. I wanna see NFL Network this week when the rules are reviewed with different plays.

Could go either way on that one. It was a real judgement call. He was so close to being out of bounds that it is hard to say whether or not he'd stay inbounds.

What's infuriating about the other calls that were brought up was that they were reviewable (the push out is not ... although with the way officiating went this game, it wouldn't surprise me if they changed the rules on that one), went to review where there was plenty of evidence against the calls, and still managed to blow it.

I pity the next teams that get that officiating crew and of course now that I say that it means it will be our game next week.

I watched it several times, I think he would not have stayed in bounds even if untouched, def a hard call to make real-time either way.

That being said, if I'm a Browns fan, that was a force out all day long lol.

I disagree, but I am quickly losing interest in the way the league continually screws the defenses of the NFL by constantly adding rules and penalties for just about everything imaginable. What's the point of fielding the defense if they can't play?

I'm pretty impressed to see so many of you admit that one. But as has been pointed out about calls, you win some, you lose some. You hardly need to apologize when one goes your way.

It was a force out. We got seriously lucky. The thing is, for the Cards, its always you lose some you lose some. For us to come out on top with that final call is outstanding.

I am a die hard Cards fan...but that was a force out. The Browns got hosed, but we got hosed all day long so it's all good. Either way I need to take a shower to get the dirt off of this win.

Bro, I completely understand. Hopefully they ref it straight next week. This upcoming game is pretty much the climax of the season for this division.
