No face masked called.

Illegal contact NOT defensive PI.

Etc. etc.

Can we discuss this as adults?


Obviously there were bad calls/no calls that went both ways but did these refs suck or what?

My exact same thoughts. It was like they were afraid to throw a flag and make a correct call.

 

[BigMeach]

What was really surpising to me was what they were letting Evans get away with but then calling on the defender guarding him... It didn't make sense.

They were plenty.

I hate to complain about the refs after a win but this crew sucked a$$.

Evans got away with murder OPI-wise today, and then was gesturing for a flag whenever there wasn’t one. Great receiver but he’s got a severe case of “on the field Dez Bryant disease”.

I often wonder if that's even a penalty anymore. The Saints and Pats do it five times a game and it's never called. One of New Orleans TDs against Seattle was a blatant pick.

I don't get it.

 

[OrangeGravy]

Pick play was egregious, but for some reason (if they started calling it consistently the Pats would disappear) the league ignores it completely. The DPI on Flowers that was at best a borderline OPI, was bad. The illegal contact was a good call except for the fact that the same guy tackled the receiver before the ball got there. Should've have bee illegal contact and DPI, Offenses choice of which penalty to accept.

If the league is ignoring them we should adjust and start doing pick plays too.

DK's catch late in the game, down the left sideline, the guy facemasked DK so hard it pulled his binky out of his mouth.l was waiting for the call ??? NOTHING!

That one got me a little hot. :stirthepot:

That’s the one I mentioned in the title.

No harm, no foul.

 

[QuahHawk]

If he had dropped it and Pete had to challenge do you think it would have been overturned? I mean that was obviously massive interference and the NFL would have to call that one...right?....

If the queen had balls she'd be the king.

But seriously, if the call had been made the ball would still have been placed at the same exact spot IF we accepted it which we wouldn't have. So....

 

[chris98251]

They got away with one just like we did when Woods hit Winston on the Crown of his Helmet, they have been calling that all year for a lot less contact.

 

[Northwest Seahawk]

The PI call on Flowers was absolute trash . No face mask was almost as bad. They will not let Flowers play defense without these trash calls and that is a problem because he's not doing anything different than the Corners for every other playoff caliber team in the NFL . He's gotten these ticky tack calls in almost every game he's played this year it's BS.

We have in years past, gets called. Kearse would get called for it all the time, even if the receiver ran into him when standing his ground.

We should just run them all the time, then when we get flagged, Pete needs to make a big deal in the press conference and send in tape of the no calls that every other team gets away with.

He seems to take the high road and try to adjust coaching for the rules, but officiating is so lousy it only hurts the team.

In super slo-mo it was easy to see. At regular speed it lasted a millisecond and nobody saw it.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Clearly a facemask, I should be shocked that they chose to ignore it, but I'm not.
Now on the long pass, in what world is that not an obvious PI? He slammed his arm, with his back to the ball BEFORE the ball got there. You CAN call both. That's an easy spot foul, first and goal.
The officiating league wide has been horrific.
