That’s a very enlightening website. They screwed us out of a safety, they got an extra down, they had three crucial red zone turnovers, they didn’t win, and they’re still the better team? How delusional do you have to be to think that in the face of Saturday’s choke job. I can just see everyone in Tennessee sticking their fingers in their ears and singing “la la la la la.”

Yeah, the major argument against complaining about getting screwed on a play that happened in the fourth quarter is that you never remember what mistakes the refs made before the third quarter.

They’re not perfect, and unable to become perfect for just the fourth quarter.

…is another issue that is lingering after the game. I have heard Titan’s fans talking about the non-call on the delay of game since it was…um…not-called. I think that Nick Harper (yes, a Titans player) put it into the best perspective that I have seen yet.

“It was a good football game, and I guess the refs didn’t want to get involved,” cornerback Nick Harper said. “But sometimes you have to make those calls when it’s an obvious penalty. For some reason they decided to let us play, and (Flacco) was able to make a play.”

In essence, the Titans were asking for a call. They wanted the referee to help them. What ever happened to “let us play?” Did the extra second really benefit Flacco or hurt the Titans? NO! The fact remains that Flacco made the play with the game on the line.

After all the times that we have seen the referees step in and determine the outcome for the Ravens (Steelers games, TITANS game, Patriots game last year), it feels like sweet justice that the Ravens capitalized on a “non-call.” LET THEM PLAY!

I will be on the Ravens bandwagon for the rest of the playoffs.

I love Flacco, that kid is amazing! Hard to believe he’s a rookie!

Its full! Haha But we will let you run next to it if you would like thats what all my other Dolt friends are doing.

Dungee getting out while Peyton has some in the tank…didn’t want to be exposed on Peyton’s down slide.

even more revealing is the fact that his knee came down and then he fell forward to his elbow. so, technically, the ball was deeper behind the line than the picture reveals. Safety!

The delay of game fiasco did not cost us the game and this non-call would not have affected the outcome, either. The Titans did not score on this drive, and the Ravens did not score on the next drive. So it doesn’t matter.

Do you have to blame the officials win or lose?

Enjoy the win! The Ravens earned it! We are not arguing that! (OK, at least the rational ones of us aren’t!) Please don’t link this crap on our site. Let us mourn in peace.

That sounds like a lot. However, I’ve told you a zillion times not to exagerate.

Even raven?

and not that I really care because the Ravens won anyway…
but

how does this sequence of events add up?
1st-10 TEN 12, CJ 7yds, PENALTY, -9yds:
    If the penalty took place before the snap, it would have been (half the distance to the goal) 1st-16 from the TEN 6.
    If the penalty took place after the play was over, it would have been something like this:
           CJ 7yds would make it 2nd-3 from the TEN 19, -9yds (PENALTY, half the distance to the goal) would make 2nd-12 from the TEN 10. Look closely… the next line says 1st-12 TEN 10.
   If the penalty took place during the play is where I’m unsure. Would the penalty be assessed from the original line of scrimmage, the spot of the foul, or the end of the play? None of which would result in 1-12 from the TEN 10.
            The original line of scrimmage would have been at best like if the foul occured pre-snap, but I think the down still would have counted. The spot of the foul certainly wouldn’t negate the first play, would it? The end of the play would have been 2nd-12.

I’m just looking for some clarification if anyone can give it to me. Thanks.
