Klondike Cat Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm not making excuses for the team's crappy play today, but they're not the only ones who did a lousy job. The refs missed several BLATANT pass interference calls by Minnesota. I don't mean minor touches either. Several times the Gopher player was all over our receiver long before the ball got there. Does a DB have to actually tackle the receiver in advance to get called for PI? Sheesh. They also missed a late hit out of bounds. I'm not talking about the one where the ref threw a flag and picked it up. On that one, the player already had inertia carrying him into him. It was before then there was a blatant late hit out of bounds that the refs missed. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Several bad calls aside from the pass interference no-calls. How about the tackle of Martinez that was five yards out of bounds. Incredible no-call on that. Or the Thad Randall hand foul towards the end. He put his hand over the line but pulled it back well before the snap. Didn't touch anything. No way that's a foul, is it? 1 Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 They also missed a pretty blatant pick on Santos that cause a big gainer early in the game. It wasn't a typical rub route, but a full on block before the ball was out. But then again we also got away with linemen down field on a swing pass so... Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 There was a head-to-head hands-down worse than SJB's they did nothing about. Ya, there should've been a couple PI calls. Plus at the goalline at the end replay clearly showed we didn't touch the ball. Minn may not have gotten in the endzone and we could've stayed down by just one score. Doesn't excuse our crap performance but we got homered today. Quote Link to comment
