1976 playoff game against the Raiders and I don't just mean the call against Ray Hamilton at the end. If a Raiduh fan ever says anything to you about the tuck rule game let them know no matter how they think the call went, it still doesn't make up for that 1976 game.
the Dreith call is online somewhere...I've seen it recently
I remember that Frances call vividly. A Raider DB was holding France's arms behind France's back the pass bounced off his chest. NO flag. Unbeleivable.I have that one on DVD but their was a few other calls that were worst then that one. Pass interference on Russ Frances was one. A unsportsman plenty on the Pats was another.
How about Vinny's (Jets) TD that never was against the Seahawks to completely change the playoff picture?
Not true ,the football on Vinny's helmut crossed the goal line.I so remember that one. Wasn't even close to the endzone and he got the call. People were flabbergasted. The ref said that they thought his helmet (that was in the end zone) was the ball.
'98 Thanksgiving game Detroit vs Pitt (Bettis called TAILS)
How about the horrendous call in the AFCCG with the Steelers vs. the Colts the year that the Steelers won it all. Polamalu CLEARLY had picked off Manning, but the call was challenged and overturned as an incomplete pass (this mind you, after making the proverbial "football move" and running about 10 feet before dropping the ball, only to recover it and be tagged down). I remember sitting there watching that and being just incredulous.
I'm really hard pressed to believe a conspiracy (I loathe most conspiracy arguments), but I have to say that all of the most egregious calls in my recent memory have been in favor of the Colts. I'm not knocking the Colts here, just saying that's how it is in my memory.
That Denver game will stick with me for the rest of my life. I can't let it go. Horrible, HORRIBLE officiating.
