Talk about a bait and switch thread.
The title of the piece is "There needs to be some kind of change because Richard Sherman got away with DPI again'
Which is clearly read : "we're going to ape the Cardinals press and fans and cry about how the NFL loves the Seahawks so much more than the Niners and they always win lucky games and gee we'd be so much better if the NFL would just PUNISH the Seahawks more"
Was it DPI ? Yes. There was supposedly an emphasis on Offensive PI this year, yet Brandon Marshall and Julio Jones both blatantly pushed off of Sherman with both hands several times, and once Sherman got called for Marshall pushing HIM. Yet he gets the flag. Where's the outrage there ? Where's our justice.
People need to knock it off. You want to see what a misuse of DPI is ? You want to see what happens when refs get flag happy ? Look at that game last night. The Jets were a 7 point underdog. I saw 3 or 4 of the worst DPI calls I've ever seen. Just a flag fest, and the Jets defenders were literally looking at the refs and saying "what exactly am I supposed to do? Do I just let him catch it?' It ruined the game and made it literally unwatchable.
And the NFL is wondering why ratings are falling. Not everyone that watches MNF last night are Cardinals or Jets fans. Yes, I wanted the Cards to lose, but I'd also like to watch a good football game.
Now, here's an exercise if you have time. Go to any of the Cardinals fans forums. You think any of them are nutting up and going "gee, it was so nice and lucky of us to get all those gift flags. We're finally getting some respect". Nope. I'd bet literally all of them believe they deserve every flag. Cuz you know, Larry Fitzgerald.
