4:03 left in the game, Minnesota at 74%
1:05 left, Baltimore at 90%
0:45 left, Minnesota at 95%
0:04 left, Baltimore at 85%



OK :point: You've got to explain this to me: We had a better chance of winning when we had 4 seconds left, than when we had 1:05?

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

Free kick was out of the question anyway, too far and it was in sleet conditions. At least with a play you get the ball in Patterson's hand again.

Good for him! If's the officiating crew that should be fined, though.

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.

Purplemania wrote: 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.
