Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes I do think that the better team (San Diego) won the game, but I'd better see my eye doctor, because I swear that was a touchdown.

Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS Don't feel bad, SGV, the Dolphins lost their first game this season, too. There were a few dicey callsin that one as well. At least your team doesn't have to play Indy next Monday night. Oy vey.

This happens dozens of times every year, just doesn't happen very often in the End Zone, but the rule remains the same.....
Originally Posted By DAR It's just clear that the officials don't want the Raiduhs to win. Last nights game. The "tuck game" in New England. And of course as the replay clearly showed, Frenchy Fuqua touched da ball. Imagine that in Al Davis' voice. A man who looks like he should be running a skin magazine.

The ball hit the grass, therefore he did not have possesion, the conspiracy theorists can rest.... The Raiders lost because their D could not hold up, not because of the officials...
Originally Posted By WilliamK99 And aren't they referees, not umpires???<< He's a Raider fan, what did you expect?
Originally Posted By DAR Well there is a ref that is referred to as an umpire. So that's partially right.
