Kyyle23 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 11:07 PM) That call on AJ Hawk at the end of the game was BS. former NFL referee was asked about this on his twitter and this is his response Pass interference rule: pg 48. "playing through the back of an opponent in an attempt to make a play on the ball." That is a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 If you run into the back of him, than yes. Aj Hawk jumped completely over him and didn't touch him until he had already made contact with the ball. It dosen't really matter, I think it was a good play even if it was a foul. If he dosen't make a play for the ball Sporles was going to catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 he went through Sproles right shoulder. it was a great play on the ball, but the contact was before the ball arrived and impacted Sproles ability to catch the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. He blasted through Sproles(just didn't fall down yet, nor was he on the downturn yet) and batted the ball. It was a good play though, because Sproles would've caught that. I don't get why Payton didn't leave the offense spread out though. Even if you're going for a run, the Packers had to guard against the pass.

kitekrazy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Colts games were getting unwatchable the last year or two anyway. I was getting sick of Peyton, turning into Favre #2, no thanks. As a fan, I felt the same way. They were not a good team. In fact I only watched the 2nd half of the playoffs cause I knew they were not a Super Bowl team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 07:53 AM) And considering that 14 other NFC teams have yet to play a meaningful game. The first game and maybe the next two are not always the best measurement of a team's performance. The NFL is kinda bad the first month.

Balta1701 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 So far the Falcons are teeing off on the run, but Cutler is having protection and time to look downfield or to find open guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea unless the Colts D goes Ravens early 2000s, their season is already doomed. This season will end any debate that Tom Brady is on Peyton Manning's level. This sucks for the Colts now. But in the long-run, this could be huge for them, if they're as bad as many think they will be. I compare it to the '97 Spurs. If David Robinson doesn't miss 76 games that year, they don't get that Tim Duncan fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ima credit Johnny Knox on the play before that. That was a bad throw by Cutler, and Knox made a great catch on a ball thrown behind him.
