Those 2 interference calls

[Scotman]

The PI went our way. One should have and the other shouldn't have. Hernandez...that dude...he needed a time out. The degree of "wrongness" between the non-call on our PI and Hernandez's shove of Woods and the subsequent penalty on Woods is ...a lot of degrees.

It was a terribly officiated game. I'm not too sore about it because we won. I'd be really sore about it if we lost. I'm sure the Giants' fans are.

Meanwhile will hernandez was allowed to commit murder.

Grassy knoll technique while someone else is blamed.

In today's NFL anything can be considered PI. I don't think it was PI but the rules are lame. Anything can be considered PI

Grabbing the guys arm and not getting your head around when the ball is arriving is not PI?

Seriously, guys, stop listening to the announcers. Those guys put this in your head and you bought it.

Why do people keep saying this? He grabbed his frickin' arm. If he doesn't, Cooper catches the ball.

You know as well as I, that if Byron Jones was called on a PI for doing this to some receiver, we would all be screaming mad. I am a Cowboy fan, but I am not a blind one.

I don't know. He held him up the entire route from illegal contact til the time the ball went over his head.

If Byron were called for PI on the same play, I wouldn't like it, but I would agree w/ it.

Yes I don't think it should be PI. I hate the rules. NFL has made offense too easy. In my opinion that should not be PI. But according to the rules it is. The rules suck.

OK, that's different.

Most people are claiming it was a bad call, and I thought that's what you were doing. You are against the rule, got it.

Upholding the non-interference call basically spotlighted the same issue that I thought the NBA was going to have with replaying ticky tack out of bounds calls: NFL referees don’t follow the rule book, they “manage” the game.

Although I don't agree that the non-PI was PI, I do agree that the refs are managing the game. Way too many glaring examples to think otherwise.

the 3rd down call on baker was terrible. he didn't do a thing to get that penalty.

Felt almost like a makeup call for the horrendous calls on tyron smith and that terrible personal foul call on woods.

Pass Interference is the number 1 problem with the officials. How they make that call against baker is mind blowing to me at that point in the game.

It was clearly PI... by the rule book. But I agreed with the non-call... it was close and I don’t think it affected the outcome of the play. But the refs don’t call it by the rule book, they just make judgment calls for 60 minutes. Which will cause problems when you suddenly stop the game and put an extremely slow mo replay on the screen and the fans start looking up the rule in the rule book.

 

[Future]

Yeah the one against Cooper was for sure a bad call. No question. That is NOT PI.

That gets called all the time. I don't agree with it, but that's what happens when a DB doesn't turn his head and is just blatantly reaching for the WR.

One of the replays they showed - from the ref's angle, it definitely looked like PI. Wasn't handfighting, but the DB just slapping Cooper lol

 

[DenCWBY]

Yeah the one against Cooper was for sure a bad call. No question. That is NOT PI. The Giants got hosed on that one. BUT, they called a phantom holding call on us to wipe away our first TD. They also allowed Hernandez to start scenes on the field and never once flagged him for being the instigator. All in all, I think Dallas as usual got the shorter end of the stick on bad calls.

This. We dodged some bullets for sure. Both March and Xwoods need to pull their heads out of their behinds on unsportsman like conduct. Woods was pushing the ref and should have been excused from the game. On the other hand the 2 holding calls on our LT were very weak. A DL falls down and the flags go flying which is ridiculous.

Yeah, from what I saw he came over the top, but the contact was minimal and he didn't wrap his arm. Those are the things the refs look for in real time, w/o the benefit of slomo.

Those judgment calls are starting to make me ill, and I'm just not as interested in the NFL as I was. The JAGS/NE champ game followed by the Saints ignore has really sapped my interest. I like the way you put it, they are managing the game instead of simply calling what they see. Bring back the college refs, I felt that the calls were simply more honest.

Both calls were BS, the Baker one more so ... but plenty of BS calls on both sides. In fact the only thing consistent in officiating this season is that there are a plethora of horrendous calls against every team, every game.

The biggest thing about these 2 PI calls, and any others challenged (or not challenged because it's pointless) is the fact that this review process added was just NFL-image window dressing after the Saints Rams playoff game. A colossal waste of everyone's time.

 

[SlimBig]

Norm Hitzges is having a conniption about it right now on the radio.
But when it happens to the Cowboys, like that nullified TD against the Jets, he screams at fans to suck it up.

He grabbed his arm and didn't turn his head as the ball was arriving. That has always been PI. Why are you claiming it's not? Because the announcers said so?

 

[Kaiser]

That was my cousin. I sent him. Ya'll can thank me later.

Its my avatar for our upcoming win streak.

That's not a grab. He didn't stop him from going after the ball at all.

... and I stopped listening to the announcers about 3 minutes in.
