This game was fixed. There's not a doubt in my mind. The officials kept the Colts in this game all night long and wouldn't be denied at the end. The NFL wanted this prime time matchup to stay competitive and that was the officials agenda. They altered the outcome to make it an event. It's total bullshit. Even Dan Orlovsky can beat you if he's got enough zebras on his side.

The refs totally changed the out come of this game.

9 out of 10 times if that was Yates on the ground on that "Roughing the passer" call, the Colts would have gotten away with it.

Fuck the refs and fuck Roger Goodell. All these rules to "protect players" means change out comes of games by over protecting them with all these shitty flags. And if you're a QB, all you gotta do is whine like Vick and you'll start getting roughing the passer calls after you get hit.

@capnkdawg It's sort of like the illegal contact rule before 04. It was in the rulebook, but nobody really called it, after Polian called them out, they started calling it more.

[capnkdawg]

@41indianapoliscolts My point exactly...refs dont call it and have no trouble with their superiors...it should be perfectly legal...this ref does this to the Texans every time he calls their games and had none of the other calls in the game been so bad I wouldnt have been nearly this upset about it...and some of the other calls were right, but most of them were ticky tacky AT BEST and this ref hates the Texans...

[41indianapoliscolts]

@capnkdawg No the ref can only call it if he isn't a runner.

And yes you've seen harder contact because most refs don't call this.

[capnkdawg]

@41indianapoliscolts Well in that case every time a QB that's going to be sacked will lean into the rusher with his helmet...then the rule will still be called like this? I don't think so...bad calls are bad even if the rule states it needs to be called that way...I've seen harder h2h contact on quarterbacks this year that didn't get called and nothing was said to the refs about it and noone noticed or even cared including QB's

[41indianapoliscolts]

@capnkdawg It doesn't matter who delivers the contact.

H2H is H2H, and that's why the rule is so bad.

[capnkdawg]

@41indianapoliscolts Because he didn't hit his helmet to the quarterbacks helmet...the quarterback actually delivered all the contact on the play...and its a BAD CALL because had he not thrown the flag he wouldn't have been in ANY trouble for it. It's a rule written on a sign by the phone where I work that says "No personal calls" However, if I sliced my thumb off and called for help it would be a personal call...and It would be the right thing to do if they let it slide

[41indianapoliscolts]

@capnkdawg The rule says no H2H. There was H2H. How was that a bad call?

[capnkdawg]

@41indianapoliscolts The call was bad whether the rule says no h2h or not...and all game long garcon was grabbing a hold of every guy who covered him, and Glover Quin tried to go for the ball and the receiver was in front and got bumped...I know you're an Indi fan, but dude...Texans had this game all the way...the ref who made the call in this vid does this to the Texans every time he calls their games ...2nd to last play of the game Fosters facemask was blatantly pulled

[41indianapoliscolts]

@capnkdawg Yes the helmets may accidently hit, that is in fact why the rule is so bad.

And there were two questionable calls on that last drive, but the rest of the penalties were excellently called, particularly the PI on Glover Quin, who had his arm around the receiver.

[capnkdawg]

@41indianapoliscolts I'm sorry...but that call is terrible...whether the rule is not to hit the quarterback with your helmet or not, the fact remains that helmets will touch other helmets occasionally and had the ref not thrown the flag he would've heard nothing about it from anyone...this entire game Houston was being called for things that weren't happening while Indi was going to town with facemasks and pass interference...continually leading with the helmet...BAD CALL
