AWFUL Call

[sportznutt]

After Peterson's on the ground, Fitzgerald had the ball with two hands, and Peterson's left arm is on the ground not even close to the ball. How the hell that's an interception, I'll never know.

 

[Black Jesus]

yeah that really was bad

 

[Renz]

yeah that really was bad

That's what I call a "Cardinal call". If the INT had been by us it would have been overturned.

 

[Ed Burmila]

The bad part wasn't the call, it was the replay.

Refs are allowed to make bad calls because the game happens fast. But replay is supposed to make it right. They blew the call AND they blew the chance to fix it.

 

[vince56]

Add the 20 yards on the kickoff BS and the 15 yarder on Griffith for what looks like a 5 yard facemask, and either these refs don't know the game of football, or they've been paid off.

Seriously.

Seriously.

You could barely tell he touched the facemask. The call against Fitz really was typical. Total BS.

Thats not what was worse. The worst part is that IDIOTIC Green challenged wether or not it was a completion. Instead of the fact that his WR was down prior to Peterson taking it away. Even the announcers were like WHAT?

 

[Young Card]

Odd. We pulled out a win even with these BS calls. Unusual for us...

They were challenging whether it was an INT or not. With both players having possession and Fitz being down, by rule it wasn't an INT and should have been called a reception and down by contact.

Green made the right call. There were plenty of reasons to dislike Green but that wasn't one of them

The refs simply blew it BIG time.

I concur, it was an awful call that only goes against us, much like that chop block call a few games ago where he didn't even touch the player.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about the same angle, but on the replay Fitz is down with the ball in his hands and Peterson only has his arm inserted between the ball and Fitz's chest with zero control.

 

[vince56]

The PI call on Rolle was BS as well. Pace did the exact same thing about 3 plays later, and wasn't called for it. If you're going to call it one way, fine, but be consistent.

Not according to the Head Ref who does the review. He clearly came out and stated "AZ is reviewing whether or not it was a reception" Even the Fox announcer were like "What? We know its a reception" They stated Green should have challeneged whether or not the WR was down. Per the Ref Green didnt do that.

Even if Peterson had control it would be a "dual reception" where it goes to the offense. Period. Its written directly in the rulebook

I swear he said they were reviewing that "Arizona was challenging the ruling on the field that was an INTERCEPTION."

Either way the refs still blew it not Green

Refs blew it yes. But it was reception.

When refs review they can look at everything, not just the specific rule being challanged.

 

[Evil Ash]

Refs blew it yes. But it was recetion.

Thats my point. It was a dual reception meaning it goes to the offense.

Seriously folks that rule is written into even HS ball. Missing that is just awful

No argument here. I just cant get over what green challenged.

Which makes it even worse.

 

[okcardzona]

Duck Calls. I swear.

Please Try.

 

[Jay Cardinal]

I saw the Seattle punt returner catch the punt with his foot out of bounds. Isn't that a penalty? I could have swore the Cards got called for that once before. They said a player who went out of bounds cant be the first to touch the ball.

But way to overcome it Cards. Too often we're complaining about how it would have been if the calls were different. This week we were the better team despite numerous poor calls.

 

[ajcardfan]

Please Try.

Seriously. The problem would've been NOT challenging it.


If you want to bitch about something, bitch about the decisions Green made in the 4th qrtr. He came out smelling like a rose for once, but I would not've made either move that he made.

 

[Billy Flynt]

under the category of poor officiating, the non-PI call on the quick slant caught by Boldin had me screaming at the TV. This was the same type play as the PI call against Rolle. Of course it didn't matter since Boldin caught his ball but if you are going to call it call it even.
