There were at least 8 calls -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 8:17 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Game
games are seldom lost (or won) on a single bad call. bad calls are part of the game, and they'll likely always be part of the game. good teams play well enough that a single bad call will not cost them the game. great teams play well enough that a handful of bad calls will not cost them the game. my team "lost" a wildcard game on a bad call a few years back. of course, before losing the game on the bad call, they gave up 30+ points in the final 20 minutes of the game. they should never put themselves in the position of letting that one call decide the game. that being said, i don't disagree that there were a lot of really bad calls (or non-calls) in that game. while i've advocated in the past that the human element will always factor into the game... this game did have more bad/missed calls than what i'd generally refer to as "acceptable". i might be just a teeny bit biased because i'm very OK with the outcome :) On Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 4:58 PM, Scott Raley -ITC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > I can not believe what I just saw.
