OT: Mike Pereira really talks out both sides of his mouth
If you look at the video. He talks about questionable non-pass interference call in the Detriot/Dallas game. He says that it isn't a foul because all the defender did was rub shoulders with the receiver.
Funny, in the Pats/Colts game, he called Hobbs' rubbing shoulders with Wayne clearly pass interference because Hobbs impeded the receivers' route. It is quite clear that Pereira will twist the rules whichever way he want to protect his officials.

When he was hired, his job description was to "supervise officials".
Since the league's assistance in the ascension of the Colts, his job is to "justify officials".
Talking Out Of Both Sides Of His Mouth
is simply what he has to do.
Re: OT:Mike Pereira really talks out both sides of his mouth
It is sad that they did not use this segment correctly. If they could just admit that refs are human and make mistakes at least it would have integrity.

I didn't watch your clip, but I saw the whole piece on NFLN Wednesday and that wasn't what Perreira said at all. He said that the defender has a right to the ball, and that the defender cut off the route and had a better path to the ball than the receiver, and that is why it wasn't pass interference.
He said defenders are not allowed to go over the back of a receiver, but this defender clearly was not behind the receiver, as evidenced by the fact they bumped shoulders.

Yeah, I agree. He explains it right, it was a good call. The Hoobs call was still BS though and the explanation was even worse.

The problem is that the logic used to call PI against Hobbs is contradictory to the detroit/dallas non-call. In the Hobbs case, he said something to the effect that a defender can not impede the path of a receiver - clearly that's what happened in the detroit/dallas case.

I've never seen a more clear-cut case of biased officiating than the Colts-Pats game this year. The league (or at least the officiating crew) tried hard to bring the Pats run to a stop there, especially after all of the Good vs Evil talk.
Even though the Pats won despite 150 yards in penalties, I think the league was surprised there was such a strong public response to the officiating, including some of the media. I think in response they've dialed it back in terms of making phantom calls on the Pats, but have allowed other teams to mug our receivers more in an attempt to at least somewhat equalize the game.
This entire season has been a delicate tightrope walking act by the league. It doesn't want the integrity of the game questioned and is terrified of an MLB-like fallout, but I think the result is that people are becoming more vocal about that very issue.
I think the Pats-Ravens game (which I got to go to; 3 rows back, 50 yard line, Pats sideline, Brady and Moss literally 15' in front of me ) was a perfect example of this kettle about to overflow. The Ravens players were and are incredibly undisciplined, but to have so many players on both sides outright question the officiating (I've never seen Brady snap at a reporter like that before) indicates that the pressure around this issue is bubbling up and might burst wideopen soon.
If the league doesn't address this soon, I expect it to turn into a very public and very ugly media storm in the next few years.

Yes, and how was that different than what happened with Hobbs? It was almost the same play, just different angles.
