Hebert19 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Last week I read an article about how Zay Jones seems to get interfered with a lot and it doesnt get called. Then in this past game vs the jets it happened again...he got clobbered before the ball got there. No call. 1. Is it really as obvious as it looks to me that he seems to have this happen a lot? 2. Is it his own fault in a lot of cases because he doesnt work back to the ball enough. Just thought I'd throw it out there since it's gotten attention lately and it definitely happened again this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdogtim Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 It's Benjamin who doesn't work back to the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Popinski Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 He hasn't earned it yet I guess from the officials. I kind of get why some players cry to the refs all game long. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jukester Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Kind of like how Hughes gets held on 30% of plays but gets a call maybe 1% of the time. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to forget him getting a 15 yarder for slapping his OWN TEAMMATE IN CELEBRATION!! Squeaky wheel gets the grease as long as you grease it the right way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Thanks for bringing this up. I saw that play and I was screaming at the TV. Total BS. It was clearly and obviously PI. Bastages!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of realities in this thread. First Zay has been blatantly interfered with the last 3 weeks and no call. This is unquestionable. These were not simultaneous hits. And low and behold NFL officiating is still broken and flawed. Yes the game moves at an unbelievably fast pace. But don't think for a second these guys don't favor the more experienced wrs. This happens in every sport. Yes it's not fair but it's kinda an unwritten rule of the boys club. Zay will eventually get these calls, just not now.

JimKellyTryouts Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Same exact thing happened on the opening drive against the Texans and he and Josh were hot Coaches should be able to challenge calls like this on a somewhat limited basis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuffs Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Pass Interference is pass interference! Doesn’t matter who you are or who is getting called. Any of this isn’t there yet or hasn’t earned his stripes talk is BS. I don’t think the refs stop to look which receiver it is or which defender it is and then decide to throw the flag. Refs called it wrong, it’s as simple as that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy the "he hasn't earned it yet" bullcrap. its not the NBA. it doesn't work like that. these aren't ticky tack calls he's earned or not earned. they are DB's blatantly running through jones.

PittsforDave Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Refs didn’t get their cut from Zay yet. The league is rigged, they only call penalties when you grease their pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 He is developing into a solid route runner at the intermediate level... he is constantly getting grabbed and yanked and even hit early... and never gets a flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The refereeing in the NFL is abysmal. I used to do the Zebra Report, but I gave it up after a season. Replaying each game for 3-4 hours just to see the same mistakes on both sides of the ball, over and over again, was soul sucking. Complete waste of time, as we see it week in and week out. The worst is when replay won't even overturn blatantly bad calls. The NFL motto, "If it's broke, don't fix it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Officiating is still uniformly awful. While you can make a case for some stuff to be missed, the PI on Jones, isn't one of those. After all, it's where the football is going, and so the zebras should be well fixed on it. Jones never got to make a play on the football, because the defender clearly hit him from behind, prior to the football arriving. Jones actually was pretty much in the perfect position to get the football, until he was barged out of the way. The only way the defender was getting to the football, was through Jones, which is pretty much what happened. As a zebra, if you can't see that, and make the call, you pretty much should be at home watching games, and not on the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receiver will ask for a flag on literally every single play, even if he was never touched. BUT, the big name receivers definitely get more flags, probably due to unintentional bias (hopefully not due to direction from the NFL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 When it is as obvious as it was against the Jets then you don't need to earn it. I can understand a borderline call going in favor a big name receiver. But when it's that obvious it's a flag everytime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 In baseball, even the real tight ones at 1st are almost always called correctly because they not only use their eyes, but also their ears. Lat week was a very bad non-call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
