i think our biggest improvement this week is the ability to convert 3rd downs, its the reason the pats beat us IMO. do you think that jerome bettis in the line-up is the reason? Jimmy ---

If he does not, then you have fair catch interference. You might see a change in that rule, but honestly that is the first time ive ever seen ANYTHIGN like that happen in any game on any level. Fair? No… But I give the refs credit for standing around and huddling and making the correct call, no matter how fair or not it is. Oh, and for Ben, I wouldn’t be suprised to see him out for a couple weeks… That looked like it really fuckin hurt. ---

i agree with you. i think the situation tonight with the fair catch interference would be just about the only exception to that rule. although i personally think the rules should be appended to account for the situation. however i doubt that something like this will happen again in the near future 😉 the thing about the injury to ben is that it could be something major or something as minor as a hyper extended knee. i do have faith in charlie batch as a start though. ---
