Jeff Triplette

Why in the world did the NFL assign this buffoon to the Sunday Night game? He never can get the calls right and talks like fucking Gomer Pyle out there when calling penalties. Good thing that LT has a face shield, you never know where Gomer's flag is going.

Even Madden basically said that "interesting things happen when Triplette is the referee."

Its funny that you can block a punt and not get possession. Then, of course, LT takes it to the house. Bwahh

The second it crosses the line of scrimmage its live....meaning if KC touches it they better hold onto it. They didn't. SD recovered. Pretty logical to me.

LT=Special

I was confused at first as well, the explaination by Gomer didn't help. Loved the run by LT for TD #31.

Pretty much a BULLSHIT rule.

Sin,
The Tuck rule

Really....and if a FG attempt is tipped or blocked yet it still goes through the upright? It's still a FG, right? A punt that crosses the LOS is LEGAL. What's the BS rule? The KC player was stupid enough to touch it.

It's the Line of scrimage, Paul.

Not the first down marker

Uhhh...LOS......when you get on the rules committee you can change it. Otherwise, hand out rulebooks to your players and STFU.

Good to see Leon Lett has found work as KC's special teams coach....

Since when did St. Paulie girl become a Raider fan? Stop the bitching about a legit call.

Stupid shit, if KC had a brain about them, they'd have just let the ball die at the 15 or so whereupon it would have been downed by SD and given KC posession there. Know the rules is all.

The guy who touched the ball was a rookie. He was trying to make a play and it backfired on him. I think he knew the rule and it's evidenced by the shot he immediately put on the guy who recovered the ball for the Chargers. He realized what had happened. Sure, he should have just let the ball land on the ground an not touch it at all. However, to blame the special teams coach or call the entire KC team dumb is a little exuberant. It was a rookie mistake that was made in the heat of battle. Happens to every team.

yeah I know. KC gets all jacked because they blocked the punt then they Leon Lett the ball and SD recovers. LT to the house. Game over.
