Not obvious?
Had to watch the play several times?
What the hell?
We were blowing up after the first replay. We didn't even know he had intercepted the ball but the dpi call was ridiculous. Of course we became even more irate when the interception was confirmed on replay.
.
Terry MCaulay the NBCs rules analyst did come on and gave his take. Maybe you had an alternate stream?
He is the NBC equivalant to Mike Pereira and Dan Blandino on Fox.
His take was the WR Bryant grabbed wallace adnd pulled him in. He said he saw nothing from Wallace that significantly hindered Bryant.
He also said if Wallace's knee was down (which it was) then it should have been an interception.
Front Office Sports noted that rules analysts rarely disagree this plainly with a call.
It was a subdued moment on air due to the bad call and its impact.. bad moment for the NFL.
They tried that years ago for dpi and the refs reversed exactly zero flags. Didn't matter how obvious it was, they went with the on field call.

We can agree to disagree. I don't think it was obvious. Certainly not from the ref's obstructed view from the rear. And thousands of people online are STILL defending the DPI call.
There was significant contact between the DB and the WR, and the DB had his hands on the WR's torso for a long time.
Cripes... Foolio and Simms are STILL claiming it's DPI. So yes, there are still "some" analysts that stubbornly believe that Wallace somehow pushed Bryant and/or impeded him.

It was not DPI. But given how good Bryant was at selling it, I'm not surprised that people got fooled.
Bryant subtly grabbed the DB's shoulder pad and pulled it toward him. That's just a weird thing to do that is very rare. It doesn't make any sense from a competitive standpoint. It only makes sense if you are intentionally trying to draw a foul, which he was.

I could have sworn we've seen NY influence a change in calls via upstairs or whatever in previous games where it's been obvious. I could give two shits about the analyst admitting what we already know. The league should be to the point now where they can quickly snuff shit like this out, especially in a late game where it's the only thing going. I mean it's one thing if it's a chunk of games and they don't get to it in time or whatever but this is one they could have prevented.
Also the sheer number of flags against one team in the late and most critical stage of the game felt very bad. It's hard to believe we were at fault to that extent while the Broncos were not.
This was a targeted result by the league. Whether it was just the crew itself or the league doesn't matter. They need to eat that shit now.

Collinsworthless couldn't STFU in the 2nd half about the Broncos "comeback" i.e he was unraveling the script before any of it transpired. And then it did. Foreshadowing at its finest! I want to watch more Rams games in Spanish now. No blue font.
NFL needs a replay ref assigned to every game, who can consult with the on field crew on any call or penalty [yes, penalties], and at the very least pause and discuss questionable calls with the field crew immediately after any play. Easlily would have helped correct this last game's disaster.
That ^^^
A Simple review would have fixed this it was obvious to everyone but the guy that F UP and called it. Sit him for a game without pay.
His crew will probably get the Super Bowl this year, no accountability, just glossed over bullshit.

Doesnt matter if they dont over turn it over in the Game like they should. We should be 2-1, but now 1-2 going into Eagles Game, At home, While Pissed, and Anti Rams Ref. 3-6 With Craig Wrolstad!
Exactly.... If baseball can take 10 seconds to review a call. -- so can the NFL with the 20 cameras focused on the play...
To hell with the bookie's - if you can't get the calls right with today's technology, step aside and let someone else do it. I'm looking at you, Goodell.
This is the best take. Crews need to work together to make the correct calls. That’s how we do it even in youth and HS.
The conversation:
Deep flank flag thrower: I have DPI, I saw the defender push the receiver while the ball was in the air interfering with the catch attempt.
Other official with good view: I have no PI as the receiver grabbed the defender’s collar and pulled the defender into him to create the contact. No impact to receiver’s ability to catch the ball. No flag for DPI, there is a defensive interception as the result of the play.
The best thing that has happened in baseball this season is the batter being able to challenge the umpires calls on balls and strikes, it brings creditability to the game, something like this is needed in the NFL.
If one didnt know the outcome, and merely looked at the box score they would have thought it was a blow out
...... Until the highlighted area

Yeah, fuck the NFL, and a special fuck-you-up-the-ass-hard to Vinobitch.

I see the morons on X too…all insisting that Wallace puts hands on Bryant earlier as he crosses him and that was at least Illegal contact or PI at worst.
Meanwhile, MacAuley said no, Richard Sherman said no as did Will Blackmon and Ryan Clark, all former NFL DBs active on social media.
So the flame warriors resort to telling us that MacAuley ‘was drunk’ and the others don’t know what they’re talking about.
Clownshow from top to bottom.

Yep, Vinovich and his merry band of blind mice are free to terrorize more NFL teams over the next 14 weeks.

Dude never attempted a catch at any point.

The whole crew should be fired. Nobody stepped in to overturn it, which is probably worse since they knew more than the official whose view was blocked.
