The non-call on the 4th Down Hold - Page 3 - New England Patriots Forums

As many others have been saying, I don't care which direction a single call goes, I just want them to be consistent and predictable about how they call things.

And to me, it was pretty consistent.

They both held eachother. Might as well call it on both... or just to keep things simple, they didn't call it at all.

Culliver's PI on Smith on an earlier drive was WAY too obvious to let it go so they called that one.

Then why have the refs there in the first place? I'm all for letting them play, but with the bogus "emphasis" and "player safety," and silly fines being handed out like it isn't real money...

...this was a joke. There's physical and bull****. I want federal investigations of all bank accounts of all officials involved tonight. A full review of the nfl front office is in order. Throw the nba in as well. These two leagues have certainly established themselves as leagues which are ok with referees influencing games, rules be damned.

Mostly sarcastic. Still, tonight's abortion coupled with some of the latest nba puke fests make me wonder where the money is coming from and how it's being hidden. What was the name? Donahue, donagee...

The smirking ref next to harbaugh going ballistic at the end of the game was what really set it off. He wasn't even looking. Just knew what the out come was...

Not amazing at all. The game was rigged, and it always was.

The throw was crap, he barely got it off. If the 49ers wanted to score they should have jammed the ball inside. You don't win by needing the refs. You win in spite of the refs.

This is why the Pats are crap lately. They do gimmick plays, they whine about one or two plays (wellker drops) and they fail to see the bigger picture. The game is, ultimately, won by the team most hungry to win. Tonight, and against the pats, the ravens were more hungry. The pats have no hunger, only gimmick strategy.

No rationale, just pointing out that the manner in which games are officiated is crap and are making it difficult for me to take any result seriously.

I voted it was the wrong call. But I'm glad they didn't make the call.
I think because of pressure the ball would not have been there anyway.
I'm sick and tired of arena ball anyway.
Why in that situation with the running option game with that QB do let a rookie QB pass anyway?

Did anybody else notice on that dean Pease blitz that Crabtree wasn't defended alone like Ellis Hobbs was on Buress?
