bad call on the grounding

He was down anyway. Safety stands.

Yeah, I see that in the replay. The fact that they called it grounding though, and not downed on the tackle, doesn't make it not a bad call- just the end result turned out ok.

true, but thats the best possible outcome of a bad call...that something else validated the call. doesn't make the bad call ok, but atleast it doesn't mess up the game.

edit: rocca is in the zone

Yes, I'm glad it wasn't a game changing bad call like week, because this wasn't reviewable either. I don't like the non-reviewable nature of those calls and that the refs gathered and got it wrong is no good.

At least I can say my Raiders have the same record as the Colts, and will either be tied/better than the Chargers after tomorrow.

whatever, i assumed it was mcfadden but kinda knew from the people who posted that they love those lame nics that they were referring to mcnabb. unfortunately, i was right.

i can't imagine calling brady "tbra" or romo "tro". it's not like you know these guys. just seems so lame.

whatever.
