Officials Spotting of the Ball Yesterday

We got some good spots too, like Kearse's first down spot that was challenged.

Other than Kam's PI, which I thought was an identical type of receiver running into the DB that Earl didn't get called for against Arizona.................I thought the officials were good.

Disagree on the Kearse spot. The angle they had showed the nose of the ball clearly past the marker, so at that point just go with the spot on the field vs. moving the ball back 3 inches to get it exactly right. It was a first down either way.

The officials weren't "bad". They didn't call much (probably to keep the game moving so they could get off the field). I just thought in general, the ball spots were terrible.

Terribly pro-Viking spots early in the game....which is why I almost blew my gasket when they challenged the Kearse spot.

But yeah, overall the refs were pretty good.
