Refs handed them that score. 7 for the refs.

Every time we get remotely close to coming back its a comedy or errors and screw ups to put us right back out of the game.

I think it was. Rhodes has to come off. He bodied him the whole way. Rookie mistake.
I would agree if the ball wasnt ten feet over his head ! But its a moot point once its in the books its in the books

Dude. Yes..He could've. It looks different from the angle that we got, but those throws are designed to be high like that. If there's no one there to jump, of course it goes 5 yards out of bounds.

Besides...The holding happend before or at the same time that Stafford released...Altering the throw?

I can't agree. Hit to the head, and a PI by Rhodes. Both were legit calls whether the rules are stupid or not.

The defense is just as worse as the offense.

It's speculative either way you look at it. IMHO (even with him leaping at the sideline, he wouldn't have caught it. It's a moot point now anyway...)
