Zebras were lousy tonight - New England Patriots Forums

OK. The Zebras obviously weren't paying attention. How can they call a penalty on #88 when he wasn't even dressed for the game?

The call on Neal was bogus.

They missed a couple of PI calls on Carolina.

My feeling about the refs is basically they are what they are. They miss some calls and get some wrong. It's not likely to change. I never get very excited about it and don't blame it for a loss. A team has to overcome it and win anyway. Bad calls go both ways.

I didn't think it was particularly bad tonight. At least they called Offensive PI on the opposing team. You don't see that call too often And they still have all season (usually later in the season) to start the lop sided "officiating". Of course no one believed NBA officials would be corrupt either.

Also, they didn't get the clock right after the 1st down was over-turned with less than 2 min left. They left it at 1:16. Which was where it stopped after the Pats failed to get the play off before the review judge got the buzz down to the ref.

In was amazed by the zebra who had his nose pratcically under Stallworths armpit in the EZ while the panthers DB was riding his shoulder pads the whole way.

Stallworth looked puzzled and Brady gave him (the zebra) a mouthful.

It should have gone back. The clock should have been re-started with 1:30 left on it.

They missed alot of PI's. 2 on the panthers and one on Tedy.

WHat is with not signalling a TD until about 10 seconds after the fact? Somebody is always flying around still trying to make a play. Do they blow a whistle? That is a good way for somebody to take an unnesassry late hit.
