This week, we saw Joe Flacco rip into the replacement refs during his postgame press conference regarding an offensive pass-interference penalty.......

I disagree with Billick about the offensive pass interference call, but agree with him that Flacco needs to shut up and play better.

dungy said the same thing. i thought flacco was very diplomatic and spoke for the fans as well whne speaking of the integrity of the game. as far as the offensive pass interference, i disagree with dungy and billick.

as far as flacco playing better, i donlt see how you are supposed to complete passes whne your receivers don;t get seperation and your O-Line has you scrambling for your life.

i believe in stability when it comes to coaching and i credit the ravens for their patience but not of call a running play on 3rd and 2 and 4th and 2 when the eagles DL is over pursuing and you are sitting on 2 timeouts is just stupid play calling.

Flacco has to play in front of those refs again next week. Do you think it is a smart or dumb move to draw that kind of attention to yourself and your team?

Complaining about the refs doesn't accomplish anything positive. But I am sure they will make extra sure all his linemen are lined up and set properly, no one is in motion that shouldn't be in motion, etc. Get ready for a lot of extra ticky tack calls next week.

Ray Lewis said the same thing. Stupid for the present time, and smart for later when (HOPEFULLY) the real refs come back. They've got to, right?

No they don't got to. The replacement refs can turn into permanent refs. Just like Kevin Millar, the scab who wouldn't go away.

Cowboy up!

Good article. I hate the call but the Dcouldve stopped them from the scoring drive and the offense could've gotten into field gol range. It wasn't the last play of the game
