For that matter, I thought the second call against Finnegan, the one that he and Bulluck locked horns after, was questionable and an attempt by the refs to keep the game undercontrol. Finnegan made the initial contact and tackle in bounds and appeared to be releasing as the play moved out of bounds. I’m sure that the refs called what they thought was Finnegan slinging the Baltimore player to the ground, however i personally didn’t think that was the case.   

With regards to the Bulluck and Finnegan mess; I personally think that Keith missed on this one. Finnegan appeared calm after the call and didn’t seem to be out of control. I think that Bulluck had a right to be upset, after all this was the second big call against Finnegan in that drive. Bulluck does wear a “C” on his jersey and has every right to try and keep his guy in check and Finnegan needs to respect that. However, Bulluck has a “C” on his jersey because he is supposed to be a leader. Leaders don’t keep their guys in check by losing their temper on the field. I don’t even have a problem with the shove. I do have a problem with where it happened. I think Bulluck should have been encouraging Finnegan to keep his head in the game, not yelling at him. If you really need to get in a teammates face. Wait for the sideline or locker room. I think Nick’s right the “W” in the left hand column will help to smooth this over in the media and the locker room.
