It was one year ago when a conscientious official decided to make sure a call on a FG attempt was right, as that call could impact a team's season. Everyone remembers Phil Dawson's ricochet FG at the end of last year's Ravens-Browns game, a 51-yd FG that would tie the game. The ball hit the upright, fell down and then hit the stachion and bounced back onto the field of play.
The idiots underneath the goalposts said it was no good, but Mr. Morelli got a bunch of people together to discuss; he may or may not have also called someone with a video upstairs (which, last year, would have been illegal). After 5 minutes, he said the FG was good, which caused mass chaos on the field. TV Reporters were interviewing players on the field when the announcement came that the game would resume. Here's a highlight clip from WBAL (see the :43 mark).
So here's to you, Pete Morelli. Can you save our season this year with a clutch call on Monday night?
Min 20, TB 17. Peterson is looking better and better.
NYG 30, Bal 21. I'm begrudingly impresses by Flacco and the controlled passing game of the Ravens.
Mia 27, Oak 10. Who is worse? 2000 Browns or 2008 Raiders? The Browns wouldn't be within 17 points for a line for these types of games. So why are the Raiders only getting 10?
NO 31, KC 20. New Orleans is desperate. Desperate teams find ways to win.
Ind 27, Hou 19. I think Indy is ready to explode.
GB 23, Chi 13. GB has had a tough last 2 games. They'll be ready for the mediocre Bears.
Phi 27, Cin 21. Why do I do this to myself? Why do I think the Bengals will show up after the bye?
Car 27, Det 13. Do I have to comment?
Atl 26, Den 16. Look, if Denver plays a half decent defense, they will lose. They are so one-dimensional. I wish the Browns had a mastermin defnseive coach that could scheme against a simple one-dimensional team like this.....oh, wait....
Sea 24, Az 20. Yes, Hasselbeck makes that much of a difference.
SF 20, StL 13. What's the over/under on the number of seconds it will take for Mike Martz to be fired after season's end?
Pit 27, SD 16. I don't see the Steelers losing this one - at home - in a game they need to win.
Ten 24, Jax 17. Jax has lost to us and the Bengals. Tennessee should dominate them.
Was 20, Dal 19. Romo will help, but Washington is the better team.
Was 20, Dal 19. Romo will help, but Washington is the better team.
Best bets: 14 of them today (0-1 on Thursday). Last week: 9-6. Overall: 87-62-3.
