Baltimore got a lot of calls though. Gerhart wasn't a fumble. The PI on Blanton was cheap and the PI on Greenway shoulda been a 5 yard hold or Illegal Contact not a PI spot foul.
Oh well I'm not even gonna get mad I want the good draft pick and JAX and TB both won so that's good.
The Greenway play the ball was way uncatchable. and the contact was early the receiver tripped afterwards.

I think it's just plain bad officiating and happens to all teams. The Patriots got screwed on a non interference call in the endzone a few weeks ago at the end of the game.
I wish one of the Vikings vets would say something in the post game about the refs. I wonder how much they'd get fined if the said something along the lines of:
"Morelli and his crew did just as good as 09, can't say they're not consistent."

every once in awhile the refs do that to remove suspicion. it is not bad officiating the NFL knows exactly what they're doing
When you're born, you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat.

You really think any player wants to get fined $10,000 (or more) for publicly calling out the refs? I don't think so, especially since it won't do any good anyway.

Want to get fined? No. But, looks like peterson is already willing to!

What about the false blocking call that on the Vikings that forced us back into FG range instead of at the 3, the ghost pass interference on the last drive, and the countless times the refs spotted the Ravens the ball 1/2 to 1 yard more after their player was down?
I don't think it was a false blocking call, it was a block he didn't need to do, but he still did it. Yeah, the last pi was questionable. The red line was not official and more times than not was not lining up correctly with the down marker. But my whole point was that you were calling the ref out just because he smiled after he made the td announcement. You don't know what he was smiling about, maybe someone said something funny to him. I doubt he was smiling because it was ruled a td.
