Yesterday was a fantastic football day! The Ravens won!!! McNabb got a little Philly revenge!!! and the Bengals lost to the Browns!!! Any given Sunday is right. The Bengals lost was huge even though we're tied for division leaders it was still a good reward. This season has been full of surprises so far. Even the mighty Peyton Manning has falling to 4-4. That 59 yard field goal will be in the record books for a long time.
I will admit watching football sometimes is so aggravating. I understand the rules are there to protect players but some calls are uncalled for. At what point are the rules interfering with playing the game? I go back to that dreaded Detroit Lions touchdown. The ball was an obvious touchdown but because he didn't keep the ball in his hand we he stood up the team lost the points. That whack ass rule is not protecting a player's health and it seems inconsistent.
Watching some of yesterday's highlights I saw T.O. walk into the endzone, lay the football at the goal line, and walk away. Is that not the same thing that Calvin Johnson did? He had clear possession of the ball he just left the ball on the ground instead of coming up with it. Even taking your helmet off lends for a penalty. I understand taking it off and throwing it down but give me a break.
Bring back the Mean Jo Green, Lawrence Taylor, and O.J. Simpson days of football playing!
