Non Calls
i understand that there is holding on every play and you can call it.
or offensive pass interference sometimes
or defensive pass interference or defensive holding.
But this is part of the problem.
the fact that these are accepted as non-calls and happen on almost all the plays creates huge problems and gives the refs far to much power.
that means on pretty much every play the refs can call a penalty on whoever they feel like. The game should not be this way. Unfortunately i cannot offer any solution to the problem and i know that this is how the game works but when you see the same team benefit every year and the same team get screwed 2 years in a row it gets frustrating.
The colts not only had no bad calls on them all game, but they got the roughing the passer, the Troy Brown interference, the hobbs penalty (which doesn't even exist), encroachment penalties (actual false starts), the non-call on Caldwell in the endzone..... all in their favor.
this is ridiculous. You cannot ignore how one sided this game was called.
These penalties that happen everyplay but are called when the refs want to call them can really screw over teams and benefit others.
So after the Colts choke next week...when the same thing happens for the Colts again, next year in the playoffs, and they get all the calls (even some made up ones) will it STILL BE A COINCIDENCE?
