Pats clinch the playoffs!

And get to become one of four teams that will play for the honor of being beaten by the Colts or Bolts.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expect. I didn't really expect too much from the Pats this year.

Indeed.  Although I bet the official (probably the field judge) who had that matchup probably feels bad about missing the call on that one.

[derspiess]

Frank Walker's illegal contact penalty on Zbikowski's intereception was the incorrect call because Roflsburger was outside the pocket.  QB outside the pocket = illegal contact calls no longer count. 
But don't tell the refs that when the league's marketing plan is on the line.  Rulebook out the window.

At least you didn't have Hochuli calling the game.  I swear that f*cker over-officiates every game he calls, just to maximize his TV face time.

[Neil]

Hochuli doesn't ever seem to get Ravens games.

[Strix]

Hochuli doesn't ever seem to get Ravens games.

He'd probably end up in a fight with Ray-Ray at midfield after spending another 20 minutes explaining how his bad call screwed the Ravens over for the 5th or 6th time that game.

Count yourself lucky.  He's the last thing you need in a referee: an attention whore.

He doesn't do many Bungles games either, come to think of it. 

FWIW, the absolute worst NFL ref I've seen in action is that moron Jerome Boger, who did the Bungles-Broncos game in week 1.  I think he broke the single-game records for: most times forgetting to turn his mic on, most times forgetting to turn his mic *off*, announcing the wrong penalty or totally mispronouncing it, and calling the wrong # of the player who committed a penalty.

Is that the black ref with the gumbo accent?

Yeah.  I guess he was an affirmative action hire, but I'd have to think they had better selections than him.  If they wanted to get another black guy in the NFL referee corps, they should have gotten someone like Mike Carey, the dude who makes that sweeping arm motion when he signals which team the penalty is against.

Harumph.  They need to throw more often to Shiancoe.

[Neil]

I told you so Beeb.

This is crazy.  On both of my league finals I am down by a single point.

I'm cheering like mad for Shiancoe and Forte, and booing Peterson and Longwell.

I feel so dirty.
