Not sure how I feel about Mike Carey refereeing... hopefully he's forgotten about the whole Detroit fiasco a few years back.

That's a lie. The times are always way off on Admin 3 game posts. She probably prepped it yesterday but didn't turn it live until right now.

I see, I see... well, regardless of the refs, we can't let it be close enough to where a phantom call could possibly cost us.

Yeah lets hope the game doesn't come down to the refs. The last thing I want to be doing on Monday is cursing the refs for a close loss.

This is true! I hope T-Sizzle makes nice before the game though haha

[bpytnjr58]

You can count on the yellow flags a flyin when he is the head ref...A lot of holding and false start calls. You can count on a extra long game with him.

[XxSizzleXx]

That shout advantage us with the holding calls as a lot of Olines do hold out defenders and have a tough time with the defensive line, Oher probably will even it up though with the false starts.

This feeds the conspiracy theory.

That wasn't my intention, but I suppose you're right!

You best believe that I'll be scrutinizing every penalty very closely

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

I know it's been expected, and pretty much a given for a long time, but there's nothing quite like a game thread titled "Playoff".

I'm OK with Mike Carey but he recently called a pretty bad game in the Eagles' primetime loss to the Vikings in Week 16. While the Eagles (in my view) deserved to lose that game, there were a lot of questionable calls that helped the Vikings out. The penalty yardage in that game was about even, but the Eagles had 12 flags thrown compared to the Vikings' 5 penalties. That speaks not only to the Eagles' undisciplined play, but also how flag-happy this crew can possibly get.

Hopefully, for being the best team in the NFL at drawing favorable penalties, our boys keep that positive trend going and can get the Chiefs to make a few mental mistakes to negate the crowd noise. If not, then they simply have to play well enough early to take the crowd out of the game.

What color pants are we wearing?

forget the referee crew! they are not playing the game....the Ravens and Chiefs are!

if the Ravens take care of their business and jump all over the Chiefs quick, fast and in a hurry with their offense and defense...then the referee crew won't matter!
