how can an NFL game be televised and NOT have the other angle replay on the TD catch by John Brown? That could have cost us the game if it was a catch but we'll never know because they didn't have the right angle to check.

I thought we got screwed on the review of the Ellington TD catch but with the Brown one we got screwed by the apparent lack of another angle.

Doesn't matter this OL is so bad this team can't go anywhere

Russ, I agree about the OL, but it didn't seem that we got much blocking help from the backs or the TE's.

It seems like every time they bring Fitz in motion and he sets just outside the TE, he's there to block and it's a run to that side. It usually goes nowhere. Why they run that play continously, I'll never know.

Screwed on both no doubt!!! I just don't get what these guys look at on most reviews regardless of what the call is.

I have another. That call which was initially called a fumble should have remained a fumble because they had no evidence where the ball was. When his knee was down you still had absolutely no view of the ball and making the ruling only after the ball comes into view in comparison to the knee after it was called a fumble is not right

I thought that was the right call but I agree the replay probably wasn't conclusive.

Yep, every time. The defense knows what's coming and to what side. Pretty bad.

Refereeing was an adventure today. There was a phantom PI call on PP early in OT. Have no idea why it was called.
You mean the pick play of the WR running into him? Lol these guys really are clueless!!! The too many times they guess what they see, instead of seeing what actually happens.

Wrong! And that’s not what was called anyway they said he did not maintain possession which is total crap! And the replay clearly showed both feet hitting before his forearm! Terrible call no two ways about it!

One foot down before his hand clearly hit out of bounds. The forearm came down after the second toe - Yes - but the hand touched out of bounds. No idea why they didn't just say out of bounds before the second toe came down.

I would have been fine if both TD's stood as called -- hard to reverse the call and literally end the game on Smoke's TD without it being 1000% clear -- but using that logic, there wasn't anything super definitive to reverse Ellington's TD.

That's what gets me - the inconsistency. Same with the Fumble reversal

They called PI on the Cardinals at least twice on players that were more than 30 yards from the play. It was totally confusing!

I can't believe both of those TDs were called non TDs. Thankfully the Cardinals were able to persevere!

When Mike (I agree with the ref's call 99% of the time) Pereira says they messed up the call.. You know you got screwed.

Not what I saw, they slowed it down and I say he was in bounds. They said he did not maintain possession all the way through the catch.

The terrible officiating is starting to turn me off of the NFL. Pretty ironic with all of the protests going on that it is the officiating that is starting to sour me.

The Russell Wilson TD run was even more baffling. There was a ref within 8 feet of the play watching it and couldn't call it right. He stored by at least a foot or more and it had to be reviewed.

The refs took away 2 TDs from the Cards. Their replay system is clearly not working.

The first one that found enough evidence to overturn a TD catch which is absolutely mind boggling. The second one was really close so I can at least understand them sticking with the call, but it was a TD too.

Refs are killing the Cards this year. Even obvious calls are going against them...
guess Mike didn't put the check in the mail

He hit the man Badger was covering. iF the ball was in the air, it was a good call, but the replay didn't show where the ball was. PP clearly thought it was a bad call.
