I know Hester and Knox are pusses, but why the F can't refs ever seem to see clear pass interference calls on them? I understand that Joe Buck can't see the obvious calls with his head in Aikman's lap, but this is friggin ridiculous. It happened in the NFCC game. It happened all damn day today.

so the one time the Lions got ass-fucked on a call you held your temper? ok. I stand corrected.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I'm surprised that the word filter didnt pick that one up....

And like others have said, the call would have pissed me off a lot more if the chances of recovering an onside kick and then turning it into points with no timeouts left were better than they are. I understand wanting the chance though.

 

As someone else said, the worst thing about it is that the refs just robbed us of a chance to do something brilliant in the future. It's a fantastic play. But you get to do that once in a while, at best. Probably only get 1 time to really unveil it. And they robbed us of it.

[rawaction]

Graham did hold, but it was really early in the play and I don't even know how that ref saw it. But in general, the officiating was terrible in that game.

all i wanted from this game was to see sulley and crew embarrass themselves and even with the obvious lack of umfan in this thread, it delivered.

I fail to see the difference between the play standing and being overruled when it comes to the future of running said plays.

How can you not? You don't think that teams might review that play?

we were the 4th-most penalized team in the league last year (Bears: 19th-most), so it stands to reason there were myriad questionable calls that i was able to resist raging like a psychotic meatball over

No, you hold yourself together because up until now your team hasn't been worth the trouble of getting worked up over.

That has nothing to do with getting screwed on a call. It was the correct rule interpretation. It sucks, but it had nothing to do with the call.

[scarey]

Graham did hold, but it was really early in the play and I don't even know how that ref saw it. But in general, the officiating was terrible in that game.

 

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to (and I don't think it was a hold but it was the only contact Graham had with another player), the ref waited about 3 seconds after it had transpired before throwing the flag.

 

I honestly thing the ref was confused and just blurted a call and a number out after he realized he shouldn't have thrown a flag.

[Flames24Rulz]

 

 

A little difficult to see, but you can see some sort of semblance of a hold there.

[minnesotacubsfan]

SP players run down the filed all day long with a hand on the other guy, that isn't a hold. Its not like Graham altered the direction of the GB player.

The flag wasn't thrown there though. It wasn't till the two players had completely separated that there was a flag thrown

The real question is why burn that trick play in a position where you can't win, anyway. The refs have gotten to lovie!!!!

My guess is they probably set up for it quite a bit, but there's not too many punts that it will actually work out perfectly like that. I bet if you go back and look at tape over the last couple of weeks, the Bears did try it but the kicking team was, you know, paying attention.

And not being held on the way down the field

if the GB guy had turned towards Knox and was being held, that would be one thing. But he was running completely away from the ball towards Hester. Graham has his hand on his shoulder pad running down the field. The GB guy turns away from Knox who has the ball and Graham completely separates from him. Where is the hold?

I take back what I said. Best case for the ref, that was barely a hold and the flag should not have been thrown because it had no effect on the player being "held" or the play. Reality: not a hold, not a call that should have been made, and it definitely appeared the flag was thrown after the official figured out the Bears were going to score an easy TD.
