Unrelated ( except for involving Bennett) those two unnecessary roughness calls late in the game were outrageous. One was called on Bennett. There was a pile-up on a running play. He came into the pile late and kind of flew over it, bounced across some backs and fell off on the other side. He never really hit anyone. He just hit the ground after the play was basically over. Stupid call. Not only did he not hit anyone, he had actually bounced over the pile before the whistle blew!

Demps got the other call, and it was just as bad. With a guy going out of bounds, he just kind of put his open hands on him to seal him from not going out of bounds. No push, no hit. A real chicken-shifter call.

I hope it did too. He did make some nice plays Sunday, and the sooner he quits giving coaches reason to rotate corners the better.

The call on Bennett was a little silly. I know there is a rule against piling on, but that was just ridiculous. I really didn't see the Demps one, but I'll take the homer stance and say it was BS.

the contract bit was sort of a joke, i should've had emoticons!

i guess i just don't remember bennett being that bad. one thing for sure is that he's made more plays even coming off the bench than faggins has. off the field speculations aside, on the field bennett is our best shot at a deflection or interception and that has to count for something.

i didn't see the bennett one but demps got a 15 yard personal foul called on him for playing pattycake. for real. no homer-stance necessary on that one.
