[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 976913, member: 6771"] We blew it ourselves in 2007, IIRC, but there were two bad calls that had a direct effect on the outcome. One was that PI call on Morgan Burnett that set up one TD. It was garbage. Also, (Mikey?) Henderson's punt fumble into the EZ that was called a muff was highly questionable. It went through his arms, then bounced back and hit his leg before caroming into the EZ with GT recovering. I was in the upper west then and it happened right in front of us. IMPO, the through the arms thing was a muff, but the subsequent bounce off the leg did not qualify as a muff. Then Burnett had the pick-6 and was stripped as he approached the EZ. That's 3 TD on questionable calls/circumstances in a 2 TD win by the mutts. Deep sigh. 2006 was the worst of the two though. I had at one time a photo of the linesman signaling 4th down before the mutt LB wrestled the ball free and ran for the TD. The knucklehead then didn't speak up and tell the truth in the following confab over what had happened. Our guys didn't even chase him they were so sure it was called down. But we shot ourselves in the foot there, too, with the false start on the 2-yard line on 3rd and goal. Just infuriating. However, does anyone remember 2005? A 7-7 game when we punted late and a clear block in the back was missed allowing about a 40-yard punt return setting up their winning TD. Then we ran it the length of the field to their 10 as time was expiring. They were gassed on D, but CCG called a quick out and Ball delivered the ball right into the mutt DB's numbers. Deep sigh again. In 2008 we won. In 2009 DT drops the potential game winner on their 10-yard-line. In 2010 we were winning but the fumble was recovered by their LB whose foot was OOB. 2011 and 12 were not close, but 2013 was the OT loss when we had a 20-point lead. 2014 we won in OT. 2015 was a 1 TD game where we couldn't move the ball. 2016 we won at the end. Those years - 2004 through 2016 were mostly all very competitive games. We need to get back to that. [/QUOTE]
