They typically wont take physical contact but again the refs seemed to really not want to be a factor in this football game so they only called really the basic stuff (offsides, illeagal formation) and personal fouls. | ||

Clock used to stop anytime play went out of bounds. Should change that back for post season games imho. @ lights out to stall raven's momentum? lol.. they seemed pretty flat 2nd half other than the ko return. 2nd and goal from 5 = RUN RUN RUN = GG AUTO WIN. Ah that explains things. I never pay attention to the clock at that point in the game so I never notice it, but thought I remembered the clock stopping by running out of bounds strategies. | ||

Player misconduct going unpunished for the sake of protecting the game, both in college and pro football. Lewis acting like he's God's messenger when...well let's not even get into that. The dumb football fan base will buy the narrative so surely they'll keep it going on tv. Listen to a Penn State fan try to defend Joe Paterno and then tell me that football fans don't have misplaced values. Its the same with the NFL and this Super Bowl...trust me I know, I live in Baltimore .Lmao at you trying to white knight the entire NFL. It's a game, it's also entertainment. Players fighting is great entertainment. Pushing and shoving happens. They've already got so many fouls for pansy shit you can barely even hit players anymore. You can't celebrate. And you're talking about protecting the game? They are ruining it. It's a physical fucking sport. That's the point. Of course you're going to have players get in scrums, let alone during the SB in which two brothers are coaching. | ||

"Fighting is entertainment" is exactly the problem in most American sports (especially hockey). Fights just serve to tarnish the game and make it a running joke; this isn't MMA, it's a competitive athletic event. Stop throwing flags for accidentally stepping on a QB's fingers and start ejecting people for throwing punches at each other. | ||

Yo, Ray Lewis could straight up stab a dude right on the field and Infernal_dream would want a penalty on San Francisco for getting his knife dirty. | ||

Refs weren't screwing anyone except screwing everyone by not controlling the game. The Super Bowl is different than any other game, because everyone can't just move onto next week like nothing big happened. No Ref wants to be the cause of ire for the entire offseason if they make a call that hurts the losing team. This is why that guy didn't get ejected and why there wasn't a flag thrown on the Fourth Down play at the end of the game. They don't want to be the center of attention, so they won't go out of their way to enforce the rules unless they it's an absolute given. That's why the game got out of control at times as well, no one is going to get a personal foul for a little roughhousing in the Super Bowl, so things escalate pretty fast. | ||

Isnt instant replay an option for a reason? Or are you saying that making a negative call even if it is the right call is a bad thing? | ||

Fighting in football/basketball is just hotheaded people who can't control themselves. Fighting in hockey is a mini-game that's meant to impact how other players are treated. The problem isn't the fighting, but what leads to it. These players are emotional and nervous, as someone said, amped up on all the hype and whatever else we may or may not know about, playing in the biggest game of their careers. If someone makes a cheap shot or says something about somebody's mama, I can't really blame them for losing their cool. I think we have to accept that players are going to act like scumbags, and that we can all agree that Cary Williams deserved an ejection for shoving an official like that. Justice will be served however, and knowing Roger Goodell, I'm sure he'll get fined $500,000 or something ridiculous like that. And about the bitching about the Niners last play, you can't call that holding or PI or whatever and ignore that Crabtree was making a lot of contact as well. I can't find a video or gif so I'm going off my memory here, but I'm pretty sure he was pushing off and/or had his hand on the CB's helmet. Better to not call it and not be "that ref who ruined the Super Bowl." On February 04 2013 16:32 TheRabidDeer wrote: Isnt instant replay an option for a reason?

If the Ravens had lost following that power outage, it would have been an absolute travesty. They deserved it. | ||

It covers some penalties... number of players on field and forward passes for example, right? | ||
