NFL's Top 10 Most Controversial Calls

[links18]

Did anyone catch this show on NFL Network. Play #4 was Mike Renfro from the Oilers "catch/non-catch" against the Steelers back in the 1979 playoffs. They showed a clip of Wade in the booth cursing and swearing the call like you wouldn't believe. Quite a different Wade from what we have become used to. Of course, one of the other plays was the Music City Miracle.

i am guessing about 8 of the 10 had the steelers as the benifactor of these calls.. they do get every call in key moments of crucial games..

They did claim that Drew Pearson was guilty of offensive PI on the Hail Mary against the Vikes and promptly insinuated we were hypocrites for complaining about the bad Pi call in Super Bowl the following year.

I would be surprised if the Imaculate Incompletion isn't on there.

I didn't see this yet, but it's coming on at Noon.

I am going to record it and add it sometime later today.

stealers are on at least 3.

'72 vs Oakland
SB40 - well there were at least 5 calls there that would've turned the game
AFCC vs Oilers

Actually, that bad PI call (worst in Super Bowl history by the way) was not the following year. It was 4 years later in 1979. The Person catch against Minnesota was in 1975.

The Deion non-call on the obvious PI vs Irvin in 94 championship game will never get mentioned, but it was pathetic and it probably cost us that game and a 3-peat.

Add in the horrible PI call against us in 1979. It was pass interference, but it should've been called offensive pass interference against the Squeelers. The receiver ran over our DB (I believe it was Benny Barnes, but not sure) who was actually ahead of the receiver and was going to make a play on the ball. The Squeelers also got away with another horrible non-call this year against Arizona during the TD runback on Harrison's interception on the last play of the first half. They're the darlings of the NFL and get all the calls. It's just pretty simple.

Although it didn't cost us the game, I've always thought the offensive PI against Irvin in our 1996 Super Bowl win against the Squeelers was also very questionable. It cost us 4 points since we had to settle for a field goal. We would've put the game away had that TD stood, even though it was early. Pittsturd didn't have the offense to come back against us.

#1 with a bullet, my friend! The show was more like a Raiders cry-fest! Poor dudes were on the short end of at least 3 in the top 10!!!

A close 2nd would be the NE Pats.

For the life of me I can't figure out why we haven't cut Terrell Owens yet.

Then you probably don't have much of a life...

Almost eight thousand posts says what?

 

[Juke99]

Was the call by that moron Fred Swearingen against Benny Barnes in the top ten??

Oh snap.

So I post on a Cowboys forum... while you merely "view" it?



Back to the original point... if for the life of you.... you still cannot figure out why Owens is still on the team....

I have not watched that specific show in months but I don't think it is Juke.

Fixed.
