Ed Hochuli = Rams loss

[Mackeyser]

I thought the Rams were horrible...

AND...

the TIMING of the horrible calls made any hint of an idea of a comeback...well...laughable.

Did anyone else get the feeling as soon as they seen this guy that we were going to lose the game? I'm not blaming the refs for our loss entirely, but when is the last time the Rams have won a game when he was the ref? I think we've lost every time he calls a game. They sure did take a lot of our early momentum away every time we had a big play on offense, it was called back.

Looks like the last time was 2007

The Call on Chris Long was BS, and a couple of Long receptions called back on what looked to me as Bogus penalties that Killed drives, Really pissed me off!!!

To me, that's like killing people and saying it's not your fault because your mommy didn't love you. It was a pathetic offering from a team that should be capable of at the least something far more respectable.

He didn't help, but most of the calls were right. We just played terribly.

I am sorry but I am not agree.I have seen the 1st and the 2nd quarter and most of the calls weren't right.

So of you guys don't get it. When your playing your heart out and calls keep going against you it's very frustrating and breaks you down. Did y'all see the call on Chris long? A clear false start on Minnesota but the call is on long and that happens alot of times. I wish I can tell you why but I can't right now. You probably wouldn't believe me if I did. I do think the Nfl has an issue with the rams.

Don't get me wrong thought the Rams still have to execute. It makes things harder but they have to try, they can't give up.

That bad call, took all of our mo away. A lot of calls in this game, good or bad, took our mo away. Just sucked.

Losers complain about officiating.

The Rams lost. They had better get it together because they could 0-8 and looking for a new coach.

The reason Chris Long doesn't get those calls is because he has a rep for going offsides. Zebras don't give him the benefit of the doubt.

And on the pick-6, Austin Davis was pancaked, yet there was no roughing call. I guess you actually have to hit the QB's helmet to get one of those. Unless, of course, you're Brockers.

No that is not true losers don't complain about officiating. Im not a loser and neither are the rams, it's not a complaint anyway I'm stating a fact that you don't believe or disagree with. Yes the Rams lost to Minnesota but when you don't get respect from officials it just make it even more difficult.

 

[LetsGoRams]

The refs cost us this game very early with the calls they "choose" to make and the ones they ignore.
They're freaking us.

The only ones that cost us the game are the Rams. Regardless if the officiating was not great, the Rams got it handed to them in all phases. Out-played, out-coached, out-executed. Period. Referees had nothing to do with that.

 

[RaminExile]

So the last time we won a game with Ed Hochuli was 2007??? That cant be right....oh yeah We sucked for a long time.

 

[Sum1]

Of course he's not going to help us! He obviously gives whoever is playing the Rams preferential treatment. Maybe he is a 49er fan or something.

I don't believe that at all. I think he and his staff are just incompetent.

I used to think Ed was cool because he was an older guy with huge guns...now I just cringe when watching ANY game he is officiating.
