That 1 second pause by the clock operator should have been reviewed. It was blatant.

That "PI" call on the Vikings never would have happened, nor the FG at the end of the half.

Hate to think the fix was in, but it doesn't help when you see calls like that.

So they get smacked down and you want to challenge one second. Nevermind a team can adjust after the fact and there would have been a different set of circumstances. You don't know what would have happened, unless you have the capability to see the future outcome about a scenario that didn't exist in the first place.

I'd toss that Guiliani-like frivolous challenge right out the window, WAY out.

I don't think it was frivolous. Yes, Zimmer turtled the team when they should have been in hurry up, and as usual, failed to make adjustments after the half.

But that clock pause was real. And it cost them 3 points. No one knows what would have happened as far as future outcomes go, but the fact is, TB went into the half with 3 more points in a game that was close.

Guiliani makes up shit. That wasn't made up. Even the announcers could see it.

That's all I'm saying.

Pi was an awful call. Time expired but the half cannot end on a defensive penalty thus the one second restored.

Are people calling the PI bogus bc PI isn't called on a hail Mary?

Cause it clearly was interference.

To me it's a very dumb unwritten rule to not call a foul a foul.

I think the complaint is the one second pause that allowed Brady to spike the ball before the hail mary... by casual view... no way he should have been able to spike the ball in time.

I didn't think it was blatant enough to merit a flag.

The Gladney PI that nullified an INT was also highly questionable.

Can you imagine extending your hand to accept the game day check if you're Bailey?

Its probably electronic. Still.

Kicking shenanigans cost us the game and likely a playoff spot

Aside from the points taken away...the change in psyche of the team
knowing they can't trust their kicker to make points.

Thought I was nuts
The problem I saw was our guy being dumb enough to start interfering at the 15, instead of at the point of conflict.

Thought so too, frustrating because Gladney wanted it more and Evans basically quit on the route and gets rewarded. Sure there was contact but not enough to put Evans on the ground like that. Could have been a pick 6 as well.

I didn't notice that one.

Quite a grocery list of favorable calls to TB. Worse than a typical GB game.

This team has no business in playoffs
Would have preferred 4 and 12 with best possible offensive or defensive lineman available
This offseason should be nothin but both
If Barr, Hunter and Pierce all back, if we get draft, FA right, could be real good next year
We also need 3rd WR. Someone that can burn folks deep with attention on other guys
Love seeing them use Irv
Hopefully they let Harris go a spend that money elsewhere.

Agree, especially about Smith. I've been talking hm up since we drafted him. Some folks might claim he's just a guy, but he can be a real difference maker like he was at ALA, we just need to feature him more. The silver lining to this year is that we've had a chance to see if some of the young guys can step up to replace some overpriced veterans. After seeing Smith, Cleveland and Wilson, we can let Rudy, Barr and Reiff walk next year without any drop off in production at their positions. I was mostly worried about Cleveland as early reports were that he would need to gain weight and strength before he could play in the NFL. He appears to have enough of both and could be a really good Tackle next year.
