Taking nominations, worst ref call (or non-call) of the year

[Mojo Ram]

That OPI on Cook(SF game) wasn't a penalty in any universe.

This thread is painful.

I'd also have to go with the Cook OPI as well. But I think I've lost track at this point as there's been so many.

Dishonorable mention to the Dallas game, in particular the defensive holding call on Sims after he sacked Romo. That one was seriously heinous, as it would have put Dallas at 3rd and 21, deep in their own end. Instead, they got a first down out of it and we wound up with the ball much deeper in our own end.

The worst non call I've seen all year was in the Dallas Whiner game.

SF in the red zone at the end of the game. SF should have had a delay of game followed by a false start. Both on the same play. Neither were called and the whiners scored the winning td.

Unacceptable.

I know it wasn't one of our games, but an example that it's rampant all over the league. The refs are, without question, determining the outcome of games.

Give the James L's TD called back for forward progress being stopped. Mother of God...

Dishonorable mention- Gavin's PR TD. He never stepped out despite the whistle blowing and there was no block in the back.

Kendricks perfect block too

The Dallas game. That game significantly impacted both teams seasons. Dallas went on a run after that and is leading the division, and we would've had some momentum entering the toughest stretch of the season

I just stuck a fork in my eye after reading this thread

James L is just as easily unlucky as Tavon(or Gavin in your case lol) he's had 3 defensive touchdowns called back. One vs Chicago last year on the Michael Brockers sack, one against Tampa Bay because of a penalty and the one vs the 49ers this year because the refs blow dick.

Jared Cook OPI...easily for me. There was nothing even remotely approaching OPI and then to add insult to injury, they called T.J. McDonald for defensive holding two series later when he did the same thing the DB did to Cook on that OPI play and Davis actually pushed off.

Not only did they blow the Cook call in embarrassing fashion but the same official looked like a total hypocrite when he called a similar play by the TE the opposite direction...and both calls happened to go against the Rams. What a freaking asshat.

This!

I also think Laurinaitis recovered the fumble with a clear path to the end-zone that Quinn forced against Minnesota in Week 1 that the refs claimed was an incomplete pass.

 

[Zombie Slayer]

I have to go with the roughing call on Romo. Literally only laid a finger on his shoulder pad. This was on 3rd down where the Rams stopped them again and forced them to punt. After that call the Cowboys went down the field and scored starting their comeback. I really think that game is completely different if that call isn't made.

 

[Memphis Ram]

A pass play on 2 & 4 at the 4 yard line at the end of the game last week..............oh you said refs.

 

[RaminExile]

That annoyed me SO MUCH. I remember watching it going "I bet they blow this dead..." and lo and behold...

It stuck in my mind because exactly the same thing happened to us at Arizona the year before.

Cook's "OPI"
Sims "Roughing the Passer"
Kendricks "Illegal hit"
Multiple missed "muggings" on any LT blocking Quinn
McLeod's "Targeting" Hit (later determined by league officials as a legal hit)

Fish needs to put together a compilation video and take it to the league titled, "WTF!"

Put together a game by game list and I'll happily put together a video.

You just have to wonder how many games this ^ really cost us , in the long run!! Answer: A lot!!

 

[Philly5]

Amazing how many of the really cr@p calls have come at critical points in games.

Reminds of the Wild Wings commercial where the ref has a pager.
