I dont get why when some dont like a guy they say what something could have been.... It wasnt

I'm not saying like Owens or dont like Owens... Im just saying dont use "should have" or "could have" ... If you feel like he sucks.. He sucks.. If you think he showed signs of progression.. He showed signs of progression.

JBO I luv ya and you're the last person I would choose to get in a debate with because of the respect factor, but come on man, really?

Your attitude here suggests you believe the refs never make mistakes and that they're perfect. Which we all know is a crock of shit, including you. So why in this case is it wrong to apply the eyeball test when there's a dozen threads in these forums where the eyeball test allowed us to complain about the refs calls or no-calls?

Either way, I know what I saw in that Giants game. Owens was raping the receivers from behind and I was absolutely AMAZED they didn't call him for PI both times. To my eyes, it looked exactly like the previous year in GB except this time he got away with it. And if nothing else, that's on the refs because they've flat out sucked ass all year long with bad calls/no-calls. But I know that in the vast majority of cases, anyone who does what he did is going to get called for PI.

Owens is just not good in coverage, period. Him running down 2 KR's for game saving tackles on ST makes me appreciate the guy on ST's, but it does not make me want him as my starting CB/NB because if he plays 16 regular season games like he did vs. the Giants, he's going to get called for PI more times than not and cost us big plays.

I don't hate the guy, I just don't think he's earned a pass. But stop with the double-standard on selective use of the eyeball test and when we can and can't apply bad ref calls to a situation.
