so then you think the BF pas sin the snowbowl should been flagged?

that was the same THING, throwing under hand to a receiver while he was falling down

I swear to god I'm going to start punching people in the trucking face that mention Brett in a damn thread that has nothing to do with him in the Packers section.

Chill Zero, It had something in common w/ a similar throw, that's all he said. I was thinking the exact same thing, falling forward, trying to make a positive out of a negative. The Fox halftime crew made similar comments, stating that had it been a Favre throw they wouldn't have flagged him.

LOL @ tuff guy

I love you

how bout this?

Manning last night threw at the feet of a receiver no where near catchable and it wasnt called..and I mean literally threw it at his feet

Brett thought it should not be a penalty.

I was was with a friend of mine, Brett Collins. Nice guy, use to be a ref in college football. Brett thought it should have been an incomplete pass.

But what the hell does my friend Brett Collins know. He was a college football ref in Canada.

Damn Canadians!!

Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre. There. I said it. If that pass wasn't the most "Favreian" in nature, I don't know what is. The whole bar (they root for my team along with me here in PA when I get a load on...I think it has something to do with me lifting one of their colleagues off his feet by his scruffy little neck when he talked some smack about the Packers a few years ago) yelled "Brett Favre" when the play occurred. The confusion, the controversy... reminded me of why I smoked so much during games.
We got hosed in the deal (I think), suspect if it WAS Brett making the throw there would have been more of a referee conference (hey, there, rook ref-- that's BRETT FAVRE, man... he DOES that kinda shit, put that flag back in your pocket, fool.) This is not a complaint, merely an observation. That play and those points hurt, but didn't decide the outcome of that football game. Adrian Peterson and co. did that. Sorry for the Brett Favre references, but they are simply unavoidable in this particular instance, and since I have been on record as at least tied as the most ardent Aaron Rodgers/TT supporter, plus am a bit of a jerk, I felt qualified to weigh in.

So true.

I stepped away from the game for a few of minutes with the score 10-21, came back and saw we were leading 24-21.... I was ready to slap myself silly to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

Then any pass that falls incomplete that doesn't pass the line of scrimmage should be flagged, right?
If a player is in the area, it's not grounding. Thats the rule. There WAS a player in the area. THEY make up the damn rules and don't even know how to enforce them. Had there NOT been a receiver there, i'd agree with the intentional grounding. But he WAS there. Thats makes a HUGE difference.
