MNF Thoughts
I got to watch the last 2 minutes of the MNF and the overtime of the Colts big comeback. Pretty much all I've got to say is that the officials made two of the worst calls I've ever seen. That "running into the punter" call that Tupa drew was outrageous. And it serves the Bucs right that they lost.
That said, the call on Simeon Rice is the worst call I've ever seen in an NFL game. The single worst call. All I can think of is that the officials were told by Tags to flag someone for leaping during the MNF game because it's happening lots around the league. So they figured - "idiot kicker's not going to miss this one, so I can call a meaningless leaping penalty on Simeon, it will be declined, game over, and teams will now be on notice about leaping." Problem is, as he's throwing the flag, he didn't see idiot kicker hook the ball wide. But now that the kick was bad, he can't go saying, "whoops, my bad." Rekick, doink, game over.
And yeah, the Bucs secondary was pitiful, but you gotta cut them some slack because it wasn't exactly their A-team out there.
