Game's been over for over 12 hours now. How is that not whining? And as far as officiating, the zebras mistakes are a fact of the past, present, and future of this game. Anytime humans are involved in judgment calls it will inevitably happen. And your team isn't the first to suffer this, and they won't be the last.
And as far as your comment about the integrity of the game..... Isn't that a little over dramatic?
Sorry, but like the other 24 teams out of it, be looking forward with optimism for the 2015-16 season.
:: Isn’t that a little over dramatic? ::
Not really. I grew up in the era of Ray Nitschke, Bart Starr, Alex Karras and The Purple People Eaters. When the NFC Central was the Black&Blue Conference. When football was played to exact “punishment” on the opposing team and to embarrass the opposing coaching staff (that’s a nod to Vince L.)
As I said earlier, I fully expect, in my lifetime, to hear a penalty called as “Unnecessary Roughness, Touching the ball carrier.”
Again, if you think that I am “whining” while the entire NFL-and-its-punditry are still discussing this topic, I would have to conclude that you really don’t care about anything but the ‘Aints winning.
And when they don’t? Well...you won’t “whine” about it, will you?
