justnzane Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I question the honesty of today's officials with regards to bribery after the amount of bad calls going against one side: The holding calls on Cordy Glenn and Chris Hairston were marginal at best. Worse infractions occured on almost every New England offensive snap The Gilmore PI call was iffy, but i'll accept that one. However the other 3 in the first half where mindnumbingly bad where the ball wasn't within 10 yards of the receiver. Thus shouldn't have been called as such. led to two touchdowns Ron Brooks got wrestled out of bounds on his running out of bounds penalty. led to a touchdown Offisdes uncalled on Patriots defenders a number of times A missed helmet to helmet hit on Fritz in the end zone. Followed up by one they called a couple plays later. The NFL should investigate this officiating staff, but probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieScooby Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Or the calls missed on them. Gronkowski's touchdown catch was a total push off. Mario was held countless times, along with Kyle Williams. Brady got blasted by Williams in the end zone on a clean play, and his first thought was to look up at the ref and raise both of his hands. A total home job. Such a disgrace I've just called DirecTV and asked for my refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djp14150 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The PI on Gilmore was an uncatchible ball. They also called a PI on a play where they pass wasnt to that receiver which means illegal contact or defense holding...but not PI. I hope Bills file a league complaint.

justnzane Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Buffalo almost beat both teams today... agreed I'd argue that they mugged Mario every passing play to the point where he could have had a couple sacks with legit zebras, not the crooked striped ones today. I hate to pin a game on the officials but 21 points given to the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Horrible isn't the word to describe the performance of the refs. It was a disgraceful, barf-worthy performance and this crew needs to be reprimanded or split up. We got jobbed from the get go and still made it a game.

Dragonborn10 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Usually it is weak to balme the refs but this was amateur hour today...those two PI calls in the endzone were awful. The Glenn holding was awful. And yes Mario was held many times including his near sack on their final drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Cthulhu Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The holding calls were legit. But the refs were poor overall i agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jone's Toupee Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 It would be nice to Chan "work" the refs once instesd of just rolling over and taking it in the behind. Show some emotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justnzane Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 No surprise, this is the same crew that handed the Steelers SB XL. Aren't unions great!!! That makes a ton of sense. By far the worst officiating in a Super Bowl ever. The holding calls were legit. But the refs were poor overall i agree. I am not saying that they weren't legit, but come on you can't say that NE* got away with worse today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills44 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I can't believe that the Pats* OL didn't hold, or that their DBs didn't contact or interfere with our receivers, ONCE all game long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Gilmore call was horrible the Pass was uncatchable the Refs have to pick up that flag. Investigate officials i don`t think so the NFL loves the Pats they`ve been cheating for them since theTuck rule gm. BTW did anyone else notice that horne blowing on our last drive sounded like speakers to me, since when is that allowable?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbalaya Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Brooks never tried to get back in bounds that is why he was flagged. Other than that the flags were mostly a result of an unprepared poorly coached team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I just watched the Rams/49ers game end in overtime with one second left. Nobody even looked at it. The guy caught the ball and landed out of bounds and there was still one tick. They could've tried a field goal. I don't know why nobody noticed that.
