Biggest mistakes from this weekend's games.

[Garet Jax]

1) SD intercepting the pass on 4th down rather than knocking the ball to the ground. This led to a SD turnover which gave NE 4 fresh downs (I think they scored a TD from this sequence).

2) The SD head butt giving NE a first down. I think NE got a field from this mistake.

3) The refs calling Rolle out of bounds before making the lateral to McAlister. The replay clearly showed he was still inbounds when he made the lateral.

Am I missing anything?

The first quarter fumble by SD that was then ruled an incompletion.

The receiver had both feet down and control of the ball before he lost it.

IMHO the Ravens D not being able to hang on to possible interceptions, but the same was true for the Colts D.

Would it have lead to any sort of score had it not been called that way (don't remember the play)?

Perhaps but unlikely, the Pats would have recovered at the one yard or it would have been a touchback.

Yea that rule they said about being engaged by a defender is utter crap.

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

I'd say Andry Reid's couching in the final couple minutes literally cost his team any chance at winning.

So, you're going to go for it on 4th and 10, but 4th and 15 seems so much more improbable? You'd rather give it to the team that's been steamrolling your defensive line with two minutes remaining? :thumbsup:

Seattle's 4th and 1 call was also highly questionable. These are the playoffs, you need to go with your greatest chance of success which is going to be a slant or hook pass.

Another snafu IMHO was Schottenheimer wasting timeouts in the 2nd half.

They didn't have any left when they really needed them.

edit: and his challenge was dumb.

Biggest mistake for San Diego this weekend....Marty coaching in the playoffs.

while it's utter crap. that's been the rule all season.

chargers int fumble

hasselbeck int after the grossman int

reid's 4th down punt

i think it was reed called out of bounds. that could've been that huge ravens pick 6 that always get.

Seattle's offense the entire fourth quarter and overtime. That game was in the bag.

 

[SpanishFry]

Eagles rookie guard has a flase start after successfully converting a 4th and 10 in Saints territory.

Easily #1 cost the SD the game no ifs or buts.
The safety should have batted it down and SD get he ball back at SD 41.
He would have had to return that ball 20yds just to get it back to the 41....not a smart play.
I'm sorry but the defense are told what to do on 4th down all the times....don't intercept the ball just to pat your stats.

There were 6mins left and up by 8 with the ball.
Worst case scenario is a tie by NE into OT.

I know Schottenheimer have been horrible in the playoffs but this game wasn't his fault.
Bonehead play by the safety.

On # 3: It was Ed Reed, not Samari Rolle.

It's going to be a tough week for both of us. With Vokoun back, I like my chances

Holding on the Bush TD run that was blatant and not called.
Phantom illegal contact on Dhani Jones.
4th and 15 punt.
The entire Saints team pushing and pulling Deuce into the end zone.

 

[Queasy]

The Chargers player getting the headbutt personal foul really stands out to me only because it was a deadball penalty that resulted in NE continuing a drive that had just stalled.

My biggest surprise of the weekend was Patriots WR Jabar Gafney making 10 receptions for over 150 yards! Dude only had 11 receptions for 140-something yards during the entire season.

The ruling now is that he must make a "football move".

 

[Captante]

(1) Martys challenge of the obvious fumble on the 4th quarter interception which cost SD what turned out to be a critical timeout.

(2) Reed punting the ball away to NO on 4th & 15 with less then 2 minutes on the clock.

There were others, mainly in the SD/NE game ... but these two really stand out in my mind as the most significant.

 

[monk3y]

I think it was SD's Parker, not simply falling on his muffed punt.

 

[ElFenix]

definitely the pf after the 3rd down play that kept NE alive
