Did you watch this game? 2 bs pf calls on Neal and Bruschi setting up Miami for a TD. 2 picked up flags for no foul. 1 giving Miami extra time that led to a TD.

My sentiments too.

I haven't seen an obviously bad call.

Honestly, if you thought these guys did a good job...go back to sleep. They called the game like a bunch of, no crap, rookies. Every other play there was a flag. Wrong game to break in the new guy. It didn't come back to bite us, but it could have. The officiating this year has been a complete joke.

I didn't like the holding calls against either the Patriots or the Dolphins.

Those weren't holds by Koppen and on Wilfork.

Refs were a bit, um, green.

There's almost no such thing as a bad holding call, given how often players really hold ...

Riveron is a 1st year Referee. That being said, the overall job they did was good. Did they have some questionable ones? Yes. But every crew of officials has questionable calls every week.

Its not like they called all the ticky-tack penalties.. They tried their best to let the boys play, as a whole.

I think the calls where bad on both sides. Bruschi's late hit was actually Meriweather pushing the guy out of bounds before he even stepped out, and Moss's TD with the PI was pretty bad imo.

Also, Pennington's rushing TD his knee was down at least a yard before he got in, but were probably going to rush it in anyway.
