BeeR Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 OK not really, but seems to me the refs are easily worse than I can remember in some time this year. Latest example was a ridiculous PI call on HOU just now on a totally uncatchable ball. cmon guys - between that and the "you breathed on the QB/WR so that's a personal foul" BS - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The officiating in the Titans/Colts game yesterday was atrocious! Luck's interception that was returned for a TD was clearly a sack. Replay showed his knee was down with the ball in his hand. It was still a stupid throw, but it shouldn't have counted. Then, after the Colts took the lead, there were two terrible calls on third downs that enabled the Titans to drive for a FG. A phantom holding call that negated a Robert Mathis sack, and a horrible PI on Bethea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 As I said when the ref strike was going on, I think it was all a conspiracy to make the regular refs look better by comparison... Not really, but I thought it was funny that the replacement refs took so much heat, when only a small portion of the time were worse than the regular refs, and the rest of the time seemed to actually let them play ball without calling a bunch of BS.

detlef Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I honestly think that the primary reason that pass was uncatchable was because Welker was not given the chance to run under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papajohn Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 If a ball is uncatchable then just don't run into the receiver, and IMO the ball wasn't THAT uncatchable and the PI would be called fairly often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I didn't think the one last night was a bad call. I thought the safety was dumb for running into the WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacement refs had no control of the game, no grasp of the NFL level of play, and were generally unprepared to do their job. While the regular refs are not perfect (no human will be) they are far superior to the replacement refs. The pace of those games was made them almost unwatchable as the game ground to a halt regularly while they conferred, discussed, consulted and then still made the wrong call.

My issue was not so much that the scrubs were missing calls, it's that they had no effing clue what was going on. It's one thing to be sitting at home thinking their judgement was off on a call like the Welker play. It's yet another to be pissed because you know the rules better than th idiots in stripes. Simple, matter of fact stuff, not judgment calls. Edited December 11, 2012 by detlef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
