The T. Williams push off

[Kevinicus]

Then you are the only one that didn't see it. Two flags hit the ground before TWill landed and the DB immediately yelled for the push before he even knew what happened. it doesn't take much to throw off someone's leap.

Like I said, sometimes it doesn't get called but this one was pretty easy.

His leap met resistance. That's what happens when you're trying to jump back into a space that is already occupied. His jump looked like he was trying to go straight up anyway. His body didn't bend or anything around the resistance, which would be odd. Receivers and defenders complaining about PI is nothing new though. It's pretty much every play, even when there is nothing there. And plenty of other people have said they didn't see a push either.

It doesn't matter anyway, the defense would've found a way to lose it later on.

Can't argue with that.

I watched after the game and honestly, I saw nothing there.

It's quite obvious that I'm not blind and I think it's disrespectful to blind people to ry to disparage me by calling me blind because you can't come to terms that Williams pushed off and was correctly penalized.

Williams didn't push off so you say, maybe your not blind, maybe you just imagine things because of your dislike of Williams

I didn't, either. Though the replay wasn't great.

Waiting for the all-22 on this one.

The foul against T-Will could easily have never been called but it was of those ticky-tack penalties that probably shouldn't have happened. He didn't push off but rather, simply warded the defender off from bumping him.

To be honest, T-Will likely wouldn't even have the need to do that if he ran better routes, rather than lazy ones. None other than Drew Pearson has stressed that thought emphatically over the radio recently. He should know.

but would never have been called in our favour

False.
Did you see the PI call we got against Maxwell on our final drive?
The first one was OK. The second was a terrible call.

 

[Clarkson]

You must be a blind homer if you think this shouldn't have been called.

 

[DogFace]

Did anyone see the opi on Beasley at that beginning of the game? I never got to see a replay of it. I may have been legit but so were 10 in the Seattle or New England game.

It's amazing they have the nerve to call it on us, it really is, when they let other teams get away with blatant ones. One even injured our player in the Saints game.

 

[Risen Star]

I didn't think it was as egregious as the human giraffe indicated but still a penalty.

I don't buy it prevented the DB from making the interception though. He didn't look impeded by it at all.

Or there is the possibility that your striving to be totally unbiased has lead to poor judgment.

nope. the DB was plain out of position.

Then by definition that is not interference.

Maybe you just can't reason objectively because of your fandom. Regardless of what you want to believe, the right call was made and your constant crying about it isn't going to change anything.

I agree, Dez pushed one defender to the ground then jumped up and catch the ball. Referee had a bad angle and didn't see it the back shot shows it clearly. Win some lose some.

But that's not going to be called because everyone was jockeying for position. It's very difficult to call pass interference on Hail Mary passes. In fact, I would say most Hail Mary passes where you have a bunch of guys around the ball involve pass interference if you want to get technical about it. So unless it's absolutely egregious (and I don't think Dez's "push off" was) where you have a receiver pushing a defender so hard that he's physically moved from his position and pushed to a distance, a ref is not going to call OPI - and rightly so.

it's extremely obvious Williams' arms stopped the DBs motion and left him unable to make a play on the ball. Like, painfully obvious. That is called 100% of the time against whoever. why on earth do you think the DB was right in front of the ball, staring at it, and then couldn't so much as jump an inch in the air and make a play on it?

also: was the 2nd PI call on our final drive not a much, much worse call? or do we want to conveniently ignore that?

 

[BigD5]

I've seen more contact than that not be called. I do think it's ironic that since we complained about pick plays all the sudden we have been getting called for offensive pass interference.

I don't think it was painfully obvious. I'd say 19/20 times that probably goes uncalled. No way it's 100%. And he definitely got up more than an inch.

What of the non OPI calls for Philly pushing off on Jones? The final play in OT, and once earlier in the game (I believe it was their first TD drive).

Was the PI they called on our final drive not much more egregious of a poor call?
when a WR extends his arms (like, literally all the way out) and clearly stops a DBs momentum, it's going to be called. It was a penalty.

I'm not worried about that little 5 yard penalty they may have goofed at the end.

You say he "clearly stops the DBs momentum." I don't agree with that assessment. That's not what I saw. It's not what a lot of other saw. Some people did see that.

I would really need to watch it more to be more definitive since I have no watched it any further after the game. But at this point it doesn't matter. And it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway. They would have found a way to lose. That's what they do.
