We haven’t exactly seen eye to eye lately but I don’t want this to seem like I’m taking issue with you just because it’s you.

But seriously—if you think refs make calls to influence the flow of the game for ratings, why do you watch the games? If I thought it was rigged, I’d give up on the game personally. Just curious.

Saints and Cardinals are both exciting offenses to watch, and seem to have good guys on their teams, though I know more about the Cards than the Saints. Neither’s won a SB either.

If not one of those two teams, I’d take the Vikings getting there over the Cowboys anyday of the week. Obviously I don’t really want to see BF take the Vikes all the way, but I really hate the flippin Cowpokes and they’ve had their share of SB victories. If they don’t see a SB for the rest of my life, it would be OK by me.

From the AFC, I’d really like to see the Chargers get there, even win it depending on who they’re playing. Jets next, then Ravens, Indy last for me just because of all the success they’ve had.

From Fanhouse.com: “If it was determined the foul happened before the Cards gained possession, the Packers would have retained the football and been awarded 15 yards and a first down (they call this the “clean hands” stipulation, meaning you can’t get the ball on a change of possession unless you haven’t committed a penalty. If you had committed a penalty, you didn’t get the ball with clean hands).”

What would have happened had they thrown the flag? Our ball, or 15 yards further back for their offense??

Also, the player seen pulling Rodgers’ facemask during and after his “punt”, was merely assisting Rodgers in the adjustment of his equipment, which is considered a professionbal courtesy in the NFL, like helping another player up from the ground.

You are all welcome for these rules and rulings clarifications.

I would like to see AZ win the SB but they must tighten up their defense (of course now that the Pack is out).
