The Refs and TO

[Scotman]

Did anyone notice the ref staring down TO after his touchdown catch? He even turned and watched him as he left the field. He looked, to me anyway, like he was just waiting for TO to do ANYTHING that would give him reason to throw a flag.


More likely, I have just become hyper vigilant towards flags thrown at TO.

I noticed it. I think it might have something to do with the fact that TO flipped the ball up in the air in the officials face. I wonder also if TO said a little something when he did it.

Objection your honor, .. speculation !

I noticed the refs did not call the Vikes for a late hit on Romo on that play.

Actually, TO flipped it in the other direction. I think that is why the ref was staring him down because TO was standing near him and instead of handing him the ball, TO flipped it in the other direction.

Correct and what I meant to say. Thanks.

He did, and I think he did that on purpose because of all the garbage delay of game penalties he was getting. In the case of a TD, that doesn't apply.

TO knows the rules. LOL.

I noticed it... what's new? The league is obviously determined to keep TO on the straight-and-narrow this year.

Romo, and other scrambling QBs, will take a lot of uncalled late-hits every season. When Romo becomes a league "sweetheart" (see mcnabb, Farve, Brady, Peyton, etc) he will get us a ton of thoe 15 yd "boosts". If he has a strong second half of the season, we should reap the benefits of the roughing the (marketable) passer flags just in time for the playoffs. Dont get me wrong here guys, I am not whining about a conspiracy, but if anyone tries to tell me that roughing the passer is called equally (regardless of the QBs name) then I would have to say that they haven't watched much football over the last 10-15 years.

Since someone brought up the roughing the passer not being called... what about McBriar? It seems like teams have been teeing off on our punter all season long and no flag ever gets thrown. I didn't notice it yesterday, but in just about every other game, I've seen someone hit McBriar, sometimes knocking him down... no flag, ever.

For the rest of his career TO should walk the ball over to the ref and hand the ball too him and say here's you ball Mr. Ref.
