Officials will be inconsistent with holding calls, they will also mess up pass interference, but what I found astounding about yesterday's officiating crew is that they screwed up in spotting the ball quite a few times. That's unforgivable. That's basic refereeing. AND, they allowed the Steelers to be in the neutral zone for a majority of the game..
It was like the line of scrimmage didn't even count in this game. It reminded me of playing football in my backyard as a kid. Simms was like, whoa, they are several yards off on that spot! And the refs nor the teams noticed.
If you watch the final minute, you will see the timekeeper reeling off 6 or 7 seconds after the official's whistle as well, and the clock never resets. Watch the refs blow the whistle at :44 seconds, and the clock winds down to :38. Then they blew the whistle at :24 and it wound down to :19.
If the refs can't spot the ball, nor keep time, then they are incompetent.
Inconsistent holding calls and pass interference, I can understand.
Spotting and time is basic to football however.
