  • Honestly, I'm only going to say this once and let it go. But, it's calls like this one that make me wonder about if pockets are lined for Vegas. The spread was 4.5 on most all major lines this week in favor of the Ravens..they cover with a 5 point win. The second they went up 5 I looked at my wife and said "let's see how the refs call this knowing the spread has been covered"

    I'm not saying it's rigged, but damn if sometimes it's hard not to feel that way.

    I think it's more of the "No Fun League" being overly enforced. I was more upset when Josh gave himself up early in the game and the Ravens pounced on him late.

  • I had to sit there and listen to the goddamn golden state warriors fan base cry about how the refs had taken the championship from them. No its because your team flat out blew their lead and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and this is no different. Don't give up 25 straight points and you don't have to worry about a taunting call.


  • Browns C Cameron Erving left the stadium on a stretcher in an ambulance following the Week 2 loss to the Ravens.



    Erving was injured late in the loss, needing medical attention on the field before making his way to the sideline. On the bench, he appeared to be grabbing at his left pectoral or upper chest. The Browns say he's in stable condition, but was experiencing cramps and discomfort in his vagina and ribs.





  • I think this kinda sums up my view on the call at the end as well. This from the ex-head of officiating from the NFL who's great to read during the games because he's not afraid to criticize the officials during the games.

    Pryor dropped the ball on the opponent, but I don't like that call as taunting.

    Technically it is, but I don't really like it.

    Yep, I agree too.... a tough call, but not the wrong call. If Pryor leaves the ball on the ground, or hands it to the ref, who knows, maybe we're all celebrating a great win. Hopefully the coaches will use it as a teachable moment, and not make excuses for him.

    1/2: #Browns Pryor on taunting: “I’m just saying there’s other people that can catch a ball and spin it and look at players in the face..."


    1/2: #Browns Pryor on taunting: “I’m just saying there’s other people that can catch a ball and spin it and look at players in the face..."



    Sounds like Pryor meant to taunt, just didn't mean to get called for it....... Like I said, teachable moment and I'm sure Hue will coach him up and he'll be better for it.



  • Well, saw exactly one quarter of some nice looking football....enjoyed that.....immensely....

    Um, but we did NOT lose this game because of officiating....we simply shot ourselves in the foot, stopped executing, made bad choices - bad calls - and bad plays, which became 3 qtrs of crap football....which is the reason we lost.....(bad football)

    But, as has been said, he's been called for this BEFORE. (preseason game)

    It was a teaching moment then too.

    Is he being taught or not? Or is he just a cockhead?

  • I thought the worse non-call of the game was when McCown fumbled the snap, picked it up, botched the hand off, then fell on the ground just to get hit by 2 DL.

    and the Browns would have had at least three sacks, except the ratbird oline was allowed to

    hold flagrantly with no call.

    why wasn't this taught from the get go...this should not be a teachable moment now.. This should have been brought up at preseason team meetings...officiating is so ticky tacky now. Maybe a teachable moment for coachie coach and that's about it...

  • @texasag1969 said:

    You can't flip the ball on the defenders head after you make a great play. It was the right call. Hue will not complain to the league office.

    He wasn't even looking the dude he was clearly tossing it towards the ref.

    @bbedward said:

    then don't toss it...hand it over..send it fedex, whatever. don't toss it. It's the only way to be sure..

    Should've been taught in little league, but in today's 'look-at-me' athlete, it seems to be the norm more often than not.
