Lets talk about those officials last night

[Ellard80]

I'm not blaming them for the loss - because the loss was a result of two turnovers that led to 14 pts.

But man they were bad......

1. Jalen Ramseys "taunting call" after his INT. He gets up and accidently runs into a guy - even tries to help him up for a sec... and they called that taunting?
2. Dante Deayon gets called for a.... "Facemask?" lol... after the play was over.... Two guys were jawing at each other and deayon grabbed his mask. It should have been a no call or double penalty.... these clowns called it a "Facemask"... never heard that before.
3. Whit holding.. we ended up getting the 1st anyway but terrible.
4. Aaron roughing - this was a big big and utterly atrocious call that cost us any chance of coming back.

Am i forgetting any?

That was the worst officiated game I've seen this year by far.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Yeah those refs can go fuck themselves.

 

[bluecoconuts]

That stupid kickoff penalty where they didn't enforce it correctly, even if there was a correct call, the fact that they didn't enforce it correctly shows how competent they were. On a lesser note, Kenny Young got ejected in the Colts game for contact with an official, AJ Brown doesn't after he smacked the refs arm when he and Ramsey get the offsetting taunting, inconsistency from crew to crew and week to week is really frustrating.

 

[blackbart]

Zero holding calls on the Titans (1 declined) freaking ridiculous.

On the near safety/pick I believe Whit was held and that allowed the defender to loop around and get to Stafford.

I do agree with the turn overs being the bottom line. Bad field position, no patience with the running game and poor Oline play in the first half all contributed.

 

[AZRams]

They fucking sucked.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Rams put themselves in a hole and then the refs kept them in it.

Shady performance from the NFL's parity police.

The Higbee touchdown. Ticky tacky I think especially since the call on the field was touchdown.

But the Whit hold was the one that almost sent my blood pressure through top of my head. They don't call AD getting held every fucking play that is more blatant than anything that happened on that play but Whit getting a hold while he is literally pushing a dude one direction is? The AD penalty was bullshit too. And yeah the kickoff they didn't even get right and the taunting penalties... whatever.

When Al Michaels is talking about how terrible the officiating has been by the end of the game you know it was bad. This was one of those games where you have to wonder if the head ref hates the Rams by how bad the calls were. Not why we lost but absolutely helped keep us from making a 4th quarter comeback.

The Donald call was the most obviously absurd foul call I think I've ever seen. Nothing there...at all.

Apropos of nothing, I was still bitching about that call to the TV when Oko ploughed Tannehill and without skipping a beat I'm like, "Now THATS roughing the passer..."

He didn't just accidently run into the guy. The guy spun him around and planted him into the turf, all of it while OUT OF BOUNDS. If any call were to made on that play, it was roughing call on Titans. He pushed him purposely because of the roughing (that wasn't called). It most, it should have been no call or offsetting. The fact that Ramsey was flagged was a preview of horrible, one-sided officiating to come.

They should all be fired today.

 

[badnews]

They should all be fired today.

If I performed that poorly at my job last night, I'd be looking for a new one today.

 

[WarnerToBruce]

Don't get me started on the mafia that is the NFL officiating. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and it is obvious to anybody with a brain that players/coaches/owners facing crazy expensive fines for speaking out about clearly blown calls, with ZERO accountability when horrible calls continue to be made, makes for god-like powers to do whatever they want with no incentive to improve.

That's we are getting today. Horrible officiating, with a system in place that ensures it will never get better. Sweet.

 

[sdakotaram]

They were literally making up the rules as they went along. The low block on the kick off.....there are only 2 options (re-kick or decline) and that was from the league's head official they can't march off half the distance. You would think a multibillion dollar company would hire professional full time officials. I have never seen a more incompetent crew.

 

[Flatlyner]

Yes, we lost this game ourselves, however, the ref abso-fucking-lutely made sure we would lose. That "roughing" of the passer on AD where he merely pushed Tannehill in the back within his allowable timeframe (Tannehill acts like he was hit by a semi truck) was essentially a turnover reversed in the titans favor. It was third down and turning to fourth and long and a punt to us. Thats a reversed turnover in my books and thats on the refs 100%.

I saw no clear replay of Higbee's foot out of bounds, in fact it looked like there was a sliver of green between foot and line. Additionally, if he is forced out, which it appeared from the defenders hand, he can reestablish himself inbounds and catch it without penalty, which he did, no? And, if thats the case and it is, the call on the field should stand. They took 4 points off the board for us there, since we only got a FG (which again, is our fault that we couldn't punch it in on other downs).

What is with the utter lack of calls on the Titans also. You cannot tell me they didn't hold us dozens of times, some blatant. Guess the refs were instructed to not throw flags on them?

I really hate that bearded dipshit that was officiating tonight. I watch a ton of football games and I've never seen him ref a game before. And frankly, I'd love to never see him again.

That was the worst officiated game I've seen this year by far.

On the Higbee TD, they called a penalty on him for going out of bounds and coming back in and missed a push, which would negate it as a penalty. And it really wasn't indisputable that he was out.

 

[AZRams]

Just a shit sandwich all the way around...

oh thanks i forgot about this one.... yes Brown contacted the official more than once.

 

[Soul Surfer]

The officials did seem to call more ticky-tack fouls against the Rams at some inopportune times inproportionately.

It sure didn't help what would have been a closer game 'if the officials just let the teams play without calling ticky-tack fouls that had no bearing on the outcome of the play.

That one made me accept this game was not to be.

I'm blaming Paris Hilton for the bad vibes. #banher

Yeah, same here. While we dug our own hole, the Titan's-employed crew of officials were going to make damn sure we didn't dig our way out of it. When even Michaels and Collinsworth are saying how bad the officials were, you know they were bad. So fuck those guys.

 

[Flatlyner]

Just in case you guys wanted to see the utter bull shit call again. Being called the worst roughing the passer call of all time.
