[Blogs] ‘Judgment’ Penalty Costs Ravens

[Runt]

what the heck! Tripping, roughing the passer! you got to be kidding me! We need a fans union. These ref\'s continue to F-up games. Detroit last week and us this week. How do these P.O.S ref\'s sleep at night

[Runt]

my last post got cut off....may have been a good thing!

The NFL better pray that college football doesn't go to a playoff system, because thay still play football.

[Flacco2Mason]

Both the tripping and roughing calls were ridiculous. Stupid penalties cost us a win. Ill admit we didnt play well, but the fact that we lost just because of penalties sucks. The tripping penalty was literally one of the worst calls ive ever seen. How can you even call that tripping?

[birdland blitz]

horrible penalty calls. It might was well be illegal to touch the QB. But Flacco lost the game for us. I'm off the Flacco band wagon, he's got something to prove to me again. He hasn't had a good performance yet, and this year there aren't any excuses. It's hard to be that bad with the receivers and O-line that he has.

[Guest RBates]

Betting calls not judgment. These guys are single handily ruining football its hard to watch a game anymore. The politics and Ex. of the game is making me watch more college ball. Sorry the refs are ruining football for everybody.

I missed the game today because of work and it was probably a good thing. I watched my recording of the game when I got home, and when I saw the play with Suggs I was so pissed. The play with Lewis was iffy and probably shouldn\'t have been called, but Suggs call was absolutely TERRIBLE. I was saying every curse word I know, I couldn\'t believe it. What is Suggs supposed to do lay a soft pillow under Carson\'s head before he tackles hims

[ibleedpurpleandblack]

Just put flags on the QB like my 4 yo plays no quesstion if the defensive player pulls his flag he is down!!!!

[Delapore]

There were off calls on both teams. There were a couple of no-call holds on Odom, one of which tore his jersey it was so blatant. Also there was clear pass interference on Owens where his arm was trapped as he went for the ball. No one call won the game for either team.

[vannlambert]

the BS calls of tripping and roughing the passer are getting out of hand once again ,what now do you have to touch the QB and ask him to go down. I can't believe after the Saints and Vikings play off game last year how Bret Favre was hit like a rag doll and not one flag and they are going to call roughing the passer for that hit on Palmer what a crock. And how do you call Lewis for tripping when he was rolled on the ground into Palmer that was total BS. I'm so mad I don't want to go on before I say something that might get me banned from this site.

[coreyadams]

Bad calls on Suggs and Lewis.

[ravensricer]

for one delapore u can call holding every single down holding is nothign and it he was holding inside the numbers which is legal for 2 my god dont say robin had pass interferance just because he wants them to call it dont mean it happend go look again they were both goign for the ball and robin stoped in the field of play which is his fault and is usually a offenceive pass interferance call he delibertly stoped to try to get pass interferance called instead of maning up and trying to catch the ball he should worry about goign up for the ball and not trying to take the easy way out and draw a flag and tahts exactly how the ref seen it if there both playing the ball there will be no call ever only if the defender isant looking back at the ball and they tangle will it be called just to clarify that for you so no ur wrong.

[ed.s52]

If it was only one BS call, I could deal with it, but come on man two. This is just like the Pats game except they actually had the talent to score when the refs gave them the oppurtunity.

[whodey8581]

OK i am a bengals fan and im not gonna try to justify anything, but the 2 calls were bad and shouldent have been called and we might have lost but we, dont know that for sure.. if we didnt score after that yes we woulda lost yes it was a tough loss for ravens that played a bad game on offence and great defence but its done and over but i will take it.. Dont get down to much ravens you know that wasent your team on the field tonight and i have no hate for you guys at all and u will finish strong im sure its gonna be a toss up for bengals and ravens but we do agree on something steelers suck had to lucky games themselfs against mediocor teams they wont go far so goodluck in the futrure and see ya at mant banks for another great game till them goodluck and godbless..

[DrMoonTooth]

These calls were pretty absurd in my opinion. They aren't soley why we lost, but they contributed.

[omar586]

i agree with lewis about the refrees but our offense lost the game before that

[vannlambert]

I sure wouldn't want these Refs as a witness to a crime or car accident they see what they want .

[BmoreKing]

Penalties were big, and might have changed the outcome "maybe" but bottom line offense dropped the ball x2. I'm frustrated with the game plan. No consistency at all. Cam and Flacco need to huddle up and figure how never to do this again!

[rcf_85]

There is always gonna be some bad calls. They helped the Bengals score points, but so did are Offense with 4 turnovers its hard to win a game.

[Rav'n Maniac]

Sure, these penalty calls helped Cincy to extend their scoring drives on each occasion. It matters little if they were good calls or not! Although they did lead to scores and were contributing factors in the loss, they are still only two instances of many that cost us this game!

[starttman]

thats the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

[Ravensdiciple96]

Who cares if a penalty was called against us and it was obviously a blown call! What difference does that make when the offense can't even put more than ONE decent drive together for an entire game!! Yeah that penalty sure cost the Ravens the game, what a joke to even bring up a damn penalty call when there is WAY more that needs to be brought to attention!

Possibly, it was just too intelligent for you to fathom.

[MightyMouse]

in the end the 2 penalties, which lead to 2 FG\'s cost us the game, but we didn\'t lose it because of that. Sure, Flacco had the worst day of his career, throwing 4 picks and all, but what about Cam Cameron

[MightyMouse]

Cameron just CAN\'T gameplan! Flacco\'s first pick: 3 receivers going short inside. Against Cincy. What the heck

[Ngata_loser]

Yeah I agree with a lot of you guys. Those penalties were awful calls but our offense was terrible from the start. What was going on out there??? I guess we are a "pass first" type team now. I understand we have a solid receiving corp but Cam, no need to force Flacco to win the game. The game was close! Rice was getting his yards yet we shyed away from it. I don't get it.

[MightyMouse]

my point exactly (somehow always more than half of my comments aren't submitted, dunno why). i think we're better of (run/pass) 25/35 - 28/32 than 20/40. McGahee and McClain aren't used at all.

[lwebb21]

Yes, they were two terrible calls, but we are Ravens fans we should expect those calls to go against us. They always do!!!! Let\'s be objective now. Why is our defense so good

[han]

Maybe Jim Zorn isn't helping Flacco become a better Qb.......just a thought.

[jthoven13]

Flacco stunk. That's why we lost. Those calls on Ray and Suggs were bogus though because they basically gave them feild position when our defense was shutting them down (obviously) the entire game. The Bengals didn't earn those 2 FG's They didn't lose us the game because we had plenty of opportunities to win the game. I'm still upset w/ those calls and even more upset w/ Flacco
