YoloinOhio Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Ravens should have won game. Could affect their draft position if not Wildcard implications for Jax Ravens penalized for grabbing face mask @jeffzrebiecsun: According to NFL spokesman Michael Signora, the officials erred on that final play, which should have not happened and Ravens would have won Said Signora: "The correct call in this case would have been to penalize the offense for a false start because all 11 players were not set, and whistle to stop the play. The ensuing 10-second runoff should have ended the game." Edited November 16, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToGoGo Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Refs are just incompetent. Nothing to see here. Quick Beerball, lock this thread. WEO, get in here and defend the NFL. Or.....the NFL fixes games on a weekly basis. Perhaps the NFL is a real sports/WWE hybrid. Just throwing it out there. Please don't ban me.

YoloinOhio Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 I just noticed the "Blown Calls" thread. I thought it was just for the Pats-NYG game but I can put this in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToGoGo Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 That's the modus operandi. Fix games and if you're too obvious, release a statement on Monday saying you screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) oops, Jax could sneak into the playoffs now if the Colts collapsethat division is such crap. I think it would be better for us if they win the division, right? We beat colts and still have a chance to beat Houston. I think any of those three could win the division at this point.

We should have a separate thread for each of these. It will give fans a better idea of how often this happens. Otherwise you're hiding it in a thread not that many people read.

CardinalScotts Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The 68 year old referees ...woops, oh well I shouldn't be out here calling an nfl game but I cant say no to the money ...so I keep doing it. As I told my wife AFTER I retire I'm gonna ref nfl games and fund our retirement......she asked if I could run with 23 year old premier athletes I said of course I can. I sorta know the rules replay will cover anything too terrible and tv ratings are way up all the owners are making big money winning is secondary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToGoGo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Did anyone catch the end of the Cardinals-Seahawks game last night. As they were showing Bruce Arians shaking hands with all his assistant coaches, some guy in a peacoat slaps him on the back and Arians runs off like a scared subordinate. We're talking the HEAD COACH! And then this mystery guy pats the ref standing near the sideline on the back and the ref gives a nervous smile. Who the hell was that guy that he gets a head coach who just won to run off and a ref to blush. Anybody have a GIF of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 You know what's nuts? The Ravens, who are pretty good but have really been hurt by some key injuries, will have a top 5-10 pick. Ditto with Dallas. All that talent and they are gunning for a top 10 pick to add to it for new HC Sean Payton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Since the call would have ended the game, they can absolutely award the game to the Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Agreed about the incompetence. The rules in the NFL have never been less understood or more poorly applied. That abortion of a game in Seattle last night was unwatchable. Flags, whistles, delays, reviews that shouldn't have been needed. Yet, nothing ever changes when it comes to the NFL. Officiating has never been worse because they keep putting more and more reliance on video replay. The only path to improving the officiating is to ban replay in all forms and live with calls on the field. But of course, we have to "get it right" so that will never happen. Since the call would have ended the game, they can absolutely award the game to the Ravens. A precedent so horribly bad that even the NFL competition committee wouldn't be that stupid.
