refs screw up big time. affect many of you (1 Viewer)

Was right around 12:30/11:22 timeframe after a measurement where the clock never stopped.

Anyone who loses by 6 or less to someone playing the Denver D/ST, you can thank the fat ### ref for giving up on the play around the 20 yard line and missing the fumble out of the end zone. Good thing these guys sit in a law office, etc rather than work on their conditioning.

It was my understanding that they looked at it upstairs but weren't satisfied with any of the camera angles.Though I'll grant you it certainly looked like he let it go at the 1/2 yard line.

I probably should be #####ing at the replay officail on this. Pretty obvious on my DVR at 1/16 speed. I've got a bad attitude about the way this entire game was ref'ed. The offensive pass interference call on Murphy was totally bogus and came at a critical time.eta - Still sucks for those impacted ff wise, but comes with the game.

What's really annoying though, the announcer in the 49ers game keeps bringing up that clock management issue and keeps saying "That could affect one of these teams if it's close at the end of the game and time is running out, they might want that minute back..."

:rolleyes: The time lost was in the first half, it wouldn't have any impact on the second half...

 
That game was terribly officiated. They blew time again in the last drive when the Rams ran up to spike the ball but the refs somehow show up with the ball 3 seconds after the Rams do set the ball down, then runs back up and resets the ball again taking away a total of 12 blown seconds. It should have been 40 seconds left with 25 yards to get in field goal range but by the time the ball was spiked it was showing 27.

Then the last play of the game Bradford throws a ball to the sidelines and his WR gets out of bounds with one second. The refs instead let the clock run to zero instead of allowing the Rams the opportunity to kick a 57 yard field goal. Then they ignored Fisher right beside them and ran off the field. Some really questionable stuff going on there.

If you make mistakes that essentially cost a team multiple chances to win so be it. Officials are human. But to big time a coach shows that they know they screwed up and didn't want to deal with explaining themselves. That's just not the way things are done, espescially to a guy as respected as Jeff Fisher.

:goodposting: Those freakin' refs screwed up so bad, no one could even win the game!! :rant:
 
I don't know if the referees and or clock operators have been drinking. Maybe they were out with janoris Jenkins and chris givens last night... :tinfoilhat:
Was asking if you were drunk. It is not clear what game you were watching with this here thread.
Reading (the title/subtitle) down?
Posting from a phone. Nothing in the title indicates what game you were watching.

Ya, this weekend looked like the replacement refs. It just goes to show you we all make mistakes and there were plenty of mistakes being made before replacement refs hence why we went to imnstant replay to begin with and mistakes being made after. People/media made way to big of a deal with the replacement refs, like the regular refs are mistake free.

Right on. At least the integrity of the league has been restored.

The refs really screwed them when they made StL line up with 6 on the LOS on the first play of OT nullifying the 80 yard bomb to Amendola. Then they did it again when they forced the Rams to let the play clock expire before Zeurlein nailed the 52 yarder. No one toblame but the refs here.Make your own breaks Sally. The Rams had just as much to do with giving this game away as the stripes.

Yes the refs certainly screwed up. Enforcing illegal formations on the rams, in overtime? I mean didn't they see how BO$$ ammendola was on that play???
 
I'm surprised they don't have permanent cameras directed at the goaline
:goodposting: It's just obvious that they should place cameras at right angles along the goal and sidelines for a locked-in, zero-parallax perspective.
I was very happy to learn a proposed rule this year would have been to add fixed cameras to the sidelines and goal line for perfect perspective on controversial play.

Of course, the owners voted it down.

The NFL is a sham.
Well.. yah. Do you know how much these cameras cost?! No way the NFL can afford these things.
