I'd like to see Mike Periera explain... - New England Patriots Forums

... the PI on Moss. "You see Moss looked at the defender with an interfering intent. And that's why the [late] flag was thrown." And what about the horse collar on Moss by Sheppard earlier that wasn't called? "Well I can't speak to non-calls."

That was a nice flop job by Sheppard.

There is a conspiracy against Moss. A few days ago, an article in SI criticized Randy by saying, that he does not deserve to be considered for MVP. Randy was being set up. These kind of negative articles have psychological effect on Refs.

i dont like that he is being watched so closely for off PI. its like the refs are watching him more then the dbs. that was a complete bs call...whcih changed the flow of the game...of course once again the Pats are too good to let even the refs decide the outcome of a game

Even Madden and Michaels said they did not see any PI on that play, it was bogus pure and simple..

Not only that but, the holding call on Washington on teams, I played back 10 times. It was another non-penalty that was called just for the sake of being called.

THIS IS GETTING OLD!

Obviously it was a bad call on Moss. I look at it as a makeup call; Moss does push off at times and this ref obviously went into the game looking (wanting) to call it. Seeing his hands in the body area he threw a bad flag based on reputation. As long as it's not ongoing, it sucked but we squeaked through.

Tight coverage, ball on it's way, RM uses hands to create separation. TD. Easy call. If he keeps his hands to himself, he won't get in twrouble.

Just like a guy dring into the lane, lowering his shoulder into the defenders torso, creates contact, then separation. He got caught, not big deal.

Guys put hands on each other all the time. Typically, some arm extension is required to draw a flag for offensive PI ... except, apparently, for Moss.

I don't think it is so much the "extension" than it is "creating an advantage". I think if the ref feels like the contact gave the player an unfair advantage, then he's gonna get flagged.
