I still can’t believe that our Stephon “Urkel” Heyer made that block. Im not gonna lie when he got hurt earlier in the game I was so happy that Jansen would be coming in.

NFL Officials should be rotated every couple of years and we should never have the same refs each year. There are too many people out there that could be a professional referee to keep these guys out there….

I didn’t understand the call either. If anyone hears an ‘official’ explanation, I’d love to hear it. If anything it should’ve been a late hit on Okeafor.

If this was a 15-yard penalty, then that tackle on Portis where he was bent back like Gumby should be a $7,500 fine and game suspension.

Football rules are getting ridiculous these days. Might as well put some flags on these guys and outlaw tackling all together.

I do like to see that kind of attitude from Heyer though – nice to see him with a mean streak. We’ve gotten a certified diamond in the rough with him, and he’s gonna anchor our line for years to come.

#1 It was a BS call

#2 I think the Portis/Dockett beef carried over from their college days, and should be classified as FSU/”U” beef.

Dockett has been fined many times for dirty plays.

Dockett also says the team they play next week is “ten times better than the Redskins”so by that math, they will lose ten times worse than yesterday.

The Cardinals never have won at FedEx, and that started in the first game ever here in 1997, when Frerotte was as real as he ever was.

Rule # 1 when you play football as a kid… Never stand around watching the play or you’ll get the sh*t knocked out of you. Rule #2 Play till the whistle. BS call

There was a lot of crap that the tv watching fan had to deal with. Especially the announcing. God that jackass Darryl Johnson is a jackass. And so is Tony. They’re all just so terrible. I think we’ve also been called on an abnormal number of penalties that are very nitpicky. Heyer case in point.

This call was total BS. On the previous play, I noticed Portis and Dockett jawing with each other. I thought Heyer was paying Docket back for the trash talk and sticking up for his RB.

Yea, that was my initial thought…for all Heyer thought, Campbell was running up the field.

Sure they said that Dockett’s side was facing Heyer…but that shouldn’t matter.

All I could hear in my head while Portis was jumping around was Chris Tucker screaming, “YOU GOT KNOCKED THE F*** OUT!!”
