WOW!! For those of you that went to bed when Indy was down by 21, what a comeback. A few bad calls towards the end (roughing the kicker and the call against Simeon Rice for landing on his own player during the field goal) but one offset the other. Best MNF game ive seen since KC/Denver when Montana and Elway both led their teams for TD's in the last 3 minutes of the game. Man, the Browns cleaning the Steelers clock and now this, what a week of football.
Best Monday Night Game ever?

Goddamn!!!! That game ruled. And as you said, those penalties offset, but the Colts one was a total academy award job. Simeon Rice's one is actually in the rule book. How do you run into a kicker when you're lying motionless on the ground?? I hate the Bucs, and this makes me so happy. I'm in a good mood now.

That call was 100% correct.
Now pardon me while I revel in my teams 5-0 status.

Timmy! Timmy!!! Timmy!!!
I'm glad you guys mentioned that bull crap call on the running into the kicker on the TB punt. I think it was forgotten on the talk shows this morning. Congrats to Indy!!!

I haven't seen the play yet, but from what everyone has told me that watched it, the "leaping" penalty was complete b.s. There is such a thing as a leaping penalty, but it involves leaping off someone's back. The way I understood it was that Rice ran up and jumped and landed on one of his own guys' back. If that's what actually happened, that's pretty scheisty.

The rule is "If a player is more than a yard from the line of scrimmage, and he leaps and lands on another player, that is unsportmanlike conduct." He was at least 3 yards off the line, he ran, he jumped, he fell on another player. Now, running into the kicker. The guy dives for the punt, he misses, he's lying perfectly still on the ground to avoid a penalty, the punter's foot comes down and plants next to the guy lying motionless and then the punter falls over the guy.CyThrax said:

Anything else Mr. Fucking Rulebook?
Now stop talking about plays you haven't seen.
Heres my take on this shit, the refs totally screwed up with the roughing the kicker penalty and I think once they realized it they found something to call on Tampa. While it was a correct call, how many times does it happen without being called? Refs do that shit all the time after they screw up, I believe. Just like holding happens in almost every play in football but is probably only called when it affects the play or when they need to make up for another fucked up call. Plus it adds to the drama and gets everyone talking when one team thinks they got screwed even though Tampa knows damn good and well that the roughing the kicker call was bullshit but youll never hear them admit that shit. I notice Gruden isnt saying much, he knows what went down and I bet a call goes his way next time he gets that same officiating crew.

That call was the make good call, you don't get a make good call on a make good call in the next game.
Also 'leaping' was called in week three of THIS season.
Before Monday, it was last called against Washington's LaVar Arrington in a Week 3 game between the Giants and Redskins on the winning field goal, a 29-yarder by the Giants' Matt Bryant in overtime. The kick was good, so the penalty was declined.
So let's not pretend it's something the refs pulled out of their asses to screw the Bucs like every Buc fan seems to think.

Lighten up Francis. I know what happened on the play-I got misinformation on what was penalized The people that described the play to me made it sound like Rice was getting penalized for jumping off a guys back, not that he was getting penalized for landing on someone- It's not quite a common penalty (7 times in 5 years)-so I'm a frickin idiot for never having heard of it. If you knew the penalty existed before the game monday night and recognized the penalty before everything got explained, more power to ya.
