Tamba Hali

That Tamba Hali sure does know how to play this game. Loved watching him. He is very diciplined as a defensive end. Early in the game, the Donks ran a reverse to his side, when the RT let him go, he knew, immediately, that something was up. He was all over the reciever, as soon as he got the ball.

Great play for a rookie.

And, who saw the replay on the facemask penalty they called on him? That was ridiculous! First off, he never touched the guys facemask. Secondly, the penalty flag was in the air before he came close to touching the guy.

I don't know why the flag was thrown, but it wasn't for what was called.

That was the one Denver Homer call that happened in this game.

Oh, and the pass interference that wasn't called in the 4th when TG had to run over a player to get to the ball.

and no, I don't blame the officials for this loss.

I'm with you on the thought of not blaming the refs. But the Hali facemask flag was in the air before he made contact with the ballcarrier.

Simply baffling.

Yes it was. What ticked me off on that call is that it was a 15 yarder. He grazed it, not grabbed it. Should have been a 5 yarder at most. Like I said, it was the homer call.
