Give me a break — this was a straight up game, no calls bad one way or the other.

The roughing the passer call on the Cardinals in the third quarter was abysmal, and Warner's "fumble" was clearly an incomplete pass, but otherwise, it was pretty straight up. Refs didn't cost the Cardinals this game.

The roughing defender took 2-1/2 steps -- I counted in the replay and that is always a dicey call.

I completely agree about the last play and I am sure the AZ press will have a field day saying "We didn't have a last play!" tomorrow, but lets face it, it was a bazillion to one that a downfield hurl with :05 on the clock would have resulted in a TD.

Thanks for noting there weren't any significant calls one way or the other. There have been people acting like the kicker in "Ace Ventura" running around...

"Give me a break — this was a straight up game, no calls bad one way or the other."

This thread is too long to find all the opinions, but on Warner's last pass attempt, the "fumble", he was clearly throwing the ball forward, however awkwardly.

How could there not be a review on that?

Also when Harrison decided extended thuggery was the thing to do and they got penalized 10 inches (half the distance), I wanted to throw up.

I'd love to see a rule that penalizes personal fouls inside the 5 with a loss of a down plus the approriate inches.

Hopefully he'll get a suspension to start next season.
