Chiefs at Broncos(-3.5)

[GomerBucks]

What do you think the role of instant replay and the increase in picture quality of broadcasts has played on this?

I think the improvements in TV and the addition of replay has heightened the fans ability to see what really happened in slow motion. The refs are still doing it at full speed. Referees have always missed calls, the only arena that the accuracy has suffered is the reluctance to blow a play dead for fear of getting it wrong and costing a team a turnover etc... It works both ways though, there are fewer early whistles.

Someone in a Broncos uniform needs to make a play.

Personally, I am not a fan of instant replay in any sport.

Having seen too many games that would've gone the other way if there wasn't a replay rule to get the call right I strongly disagree.

To have the technology to get important calls corrected, and choose not to use it for whatever reason, makes no sense to me.

General football question-

Am I the only one that would have thought about going for it on the last Broncos drive?

Ball at OWN 28, 1 timeout. 4th and 7. ~2:40 to play. Broncos instead punt the ball and even if they hold, it looks like they'll have the ball even further from where they were, and with no timeouts and under 1:20 left.

Go for it, hold them just the same, even give them a FG attempt.

0:58, no timeouts. Ball at 16.

Roughing the passer? Bull shit.

Wow.

Touching The Tebow is not allowed

Yes there is. One of the best refs in the NFL (Hoculi) blew a call a year or two ago and ended up missing the playoffs altogether. This was the year after he'd reffed the Super Bowl. Those playoff checks matter even to the refs. I'm pretty sure the league rates the refs as they make calls.

That is right, I forgot about that incident. I'm not sure how much of that type of scenario occurs though.

I can tell you that it is a rarity for me to watch an NBA game now because the integrity of the game has been clearly destroyed by the horrible refereeing and favoritism shown to the star players. The B1G and the NCAA is not far behind in what is happening to College Basketball (evidence last nights tOSU game).

I love football and just don't want to see the game get hurt by the same types of things that in my opinion hurt basketball.

Somebody please remind me how well Romeo did with the Browns please. I'd like to see the Chiefs look elsewhere for a HC.

 

[Buckeye513]

Is anyone from the NIH on the scene to collect those Tebow tears?

 

[Bucky32]

IT'S TEBOW TIME.

Not.

That roughing the passer call was the biggest load of bullshit I've ever seen. The guy hit Tebow when he still had the ball.

Everybody gets better the moment they leave the clowns. Fact.

Methinks the rest of the nfl has figured Timmuh out. Right after the donkeys threw their support behind him for next year. Oops.

Not.

But he went low at him!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................... Because it was clear that the OL had not knocked the DL to the ground and he was obviously trying to take Tebow's legs out.

I have seen plenty of games where replay when used was of no value and have seen games where replay was not used when it should have been. I think it needlessly slows the game down and at times I think the referees rely on it to fix things that they miss. To slow the view of a play down to a turtle crawl so we can determine whether a guys second foot was completely on the ground to reestablish himself on the field as in the Atlanta game today is, in my opinion, absurd. Make the call and play on.

It cuts both ways and just because we have the technology doesn't mean that it is necessary. We played the games for years without it and it was fine.

Teblow-led offense, 3 points at home in a playoff-crucial game.
