I guess I don't understand why leverage is a penalty to begin with. I see no player safety issue because of something like that, only another angle for the refs to involve themselves in the outcome. No one pays to see the zebras.
I do think penalties are subjective and far too often get called by what the ref thought might have happened instead of what they actually saw. And then there is the question of calling holding on every play because if you watch you can see someone doing something that looks a lot like holding every play.
The best thing to me is to play so well that couple of blown calls isn't going to have an affect on the outcome. GSOT did it all the time.
No way in hell this team should give up that many points in a game, I'm more disappointed in the defensive game plan and play than the refs.
I agree. many teams fans seems to cite the officiating as the main reason for a loss...That's GENERALLY not true, IMO...I can't figure out why so much attention to the leverage call...It's history and isn't the reason the Rams lost on Sunday..Officials make mistakes and blow calls...It's part of the flawed system of almost anything that depends on the subjective decisions of humans ....
