Scumbag Jeff Fisher says flag shouldn't have been picked up

[jtnc]

Count Rams coach Jeff Fisher among the many who believe the Patriots got a raw deal on the last play of Monday night’s loss to the Panthers.

Fisher, a longtime member of the NFL’s competition committee who has a firm understanding of the rule book, says back judge Terrence Miles made the right call when he threw a flag on the Panthers for pass interference. Unfortunately, after the officiating crew talked it over, the wrong call was made, and the flag was picked up.

“I personally feel like the flag went down for a reason, and it looked like a foul to me,” Fisher said at his Tuesday news conference, via Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com. “So, that’s my opinion. Because I was not on the sideline, obviously, I can voice my opinion [without getting fined].”

Fisher isn’t a completely neutral observer: He’s still hoping his team can get back into the NFC wild card race, and the Panthers are the leaders in the NFC wild card race. So it’s safe to say he was rooting for the Patriots. But Fisher’s comments are one more demonstration that a whole lot of people who know the rules of the NFL very well are saying that the officials got this one wrong.

Well it's certainly a good thing that Fisher's opinion DOESN'T MEAN poo.

Getting acclimated with replicating the leg whip is the number one area of focus this week at Rams practice.

The issue here is these people are making this call with the aid of instant replay and slow motion. Something the Refs in game do not have access to for calls like this and these calls cannot be challenged by either team nor the booth. So its easy to say they made the wrong call with this aids at their side.

Honestly I don't see how a coach like him who permits that roughing bullshit they do in St Louis has any kind of grasp on the NFL rulebook. And who put him in charge of the competition committee? That's like electing Paula Deen to be president of the NAACP.

I think it's funny that the article mentions that someone who knows the rules really well has this opinion when it is clear to me once I read the rules that the officials made the correct call.  Honestly I'm not sure how well any given coach knows the NFL rulebook as far as technicalities like this.

you mean that coach with the brilliant strategy to play nasty and try to push our buttons that backfired and ended with a blowout, their best DL ejected, and their QB on IR? that fisher? hmmm.....

No one gives a poo about what he thinks.
