I have only been a member for a little while and have never posted, but I can't help it. Sure, we shoulda, coulda, woulda played to our potential and the call at the end would never have mattered. But sometimes it just doesn't go that way. We played horrible in the first half, but never gave up and stayed in the game to the end. Does anyone expect a young kid who just scored what should have been the winning touchdown to not be elated. Celebration penalties are about excess. Was there taunting? Did anyone from the bench run on the field? No and no. It was a simple show of emotion that has been seen every Saturday forever; especially in circumstances such as those. The burden should be on the older, wiser guy in the striped suit who gets paid good money to ensure fairness, but whose job is to remain as unobtrusive as possible. He certainly did not do that. A team can fight and overcome most obstacles in their wasy, but not poor officiating. Why didn't the guy in the white hat talk to his crew and wave that penalty off? At some point in the fourth every play gets reviewed by the booth. Why doesn't that guy have the authority to overturn what was such a ridiculous call? I just hope the officials have some type of review committee who looks at their performance. It's just a shame that we keep having to be the victims. Well, that is my crying for this week. I feel much better now. Love the Dawgs.
