    Sean McDonough... He's announced play by play for many sports, but I always associate him with Baseball like the other asshat Joe Buck.

    Can't believe that Wilcox is not being listed as goat.

    Yup, but I think the blame is being deflected to Danny Smith. He is coaching heavy footed backup safeties to hold guys in the return game.

    That holding call on the Bryant return seemed pretty weak, but the officials looked like they enjoyed throwing the laundry around... and then kept it in their pocket on some other stuff. Not very consistent for them trying to "control" the game.

    ...And Rogers held on to those fair catches. Special "atta boy" award.

    Agreed. At least he has the speed to be a threat.

    Also agree, but for some reason I still found myself HOLDING my breath each time Roger's was reading to catch the ball.

    Agreed. It was a pretty weak penalty. Certainly nothing worth giving him the "goat" for.

    hes not a goat. he had 1 egregious hold. the "hold" on Bryant's Kick off return TD wasnt even remotely among the definitions of a hold, the defender fell into him in a weird way that made it seem like it to a bonehead ref.

    watch the play again. Wilcox did everything he can to get that guy away from him. The group refereeing last night was also the 2nd highest penalizing group in the league

    He's still a bum and a waste of a pickup.

    And if he didn't hold and he's not a goat than Bryant should get a game ball for the return TD.

    I agree...I loved the hit and burthdefect faked his injury. How ironic, should have knocked his gold grill out!

    How about Boz. Hasn’t missed a FG against the Bungles. 24 for 24. Impressive!

    Yep, I think they said that refereeing group averaged 18 flags per game. Geesh.

    Because of Boswell's game winning field goal, I won $150 in our football pool at work last night. It's the second time I've won this season for a total of $300. I also won in Week 2. $48 for a block. I made out pretty good. My co-workers are mad at me, though. I hope I don't look like I give a shit.

    Wilcox hooked the guy with his right arm and when he lost his balance, Wilcox still had a closed right hand on the gunners jersey, so that likely got him the call. He didn't move his feet and when the guy was off balance, he should have just finished the block rather than do what looked like was holding him up. Defensive guy that doesn't know how to block, but as a special teamer he should work on it more. It wasn't the worst hold I have seen, but I see how a ref could call it.
