Regarding the DPI on #59 Walker

[GatorAZ]

Was there contact before this? How was this called or not challenged?

the PI rules are ruining the game.

..and the only reason it won't completely collapse the ratings is because of all the extra drama it creates in the first place..

He had better position and looked like a receiver trying to make a play on the ball. If the roles were reversed and that was a TE or WR then the other player would be called every time.

Very bad call IMO.

On the good call front, I'm glad the luster has

 

[Krangodnzr]

That was one of the worst calls I've seen in a long time.

 

[imaCafan]

Not a student of the game and even I knew that was OPI

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Phenomenal coverage from Walker there. Best we have seen from any of our LBs.

 

[dscher]

No offense to old dudes.. lol. But I find it crazy that the league is asking some of these old timey refs to put themselves in the best position possible on the field to get a full view of the play in real time... especially in today's NFL. Some of these guys get knocked over by a slight breeze.

There’s a reason why they changed it to a “spot foul” instead of just 15-yards.

Late game drama.

It’s equivalent to the NBA where a team can magically advance to ball to half-court if they call a timeout.

Yep...and gives all the affiliated talking heads something to bitch about the next day..no coincidences. Lol.

No the refs & people in NY are ruining the game by not enforcing the rules of OBVIOUS PI & too worried about making their officials to look bad by getting the correct call.

Stevie Wonder could see that Walker did nothing to warrant a 30 yard foul on that play.

the funny (?) thing was that 44 was trying to prevent the interception

He did more than try, he basically tackled him

said more clearly: I think 44 was ready to take the OPI call to break up an interception -- and ended up getting the call going his way

If the DPI non call in the Ravens v Texans call wasn't overturned none will be overturned.

Johnston basically was saying "This is going to be OPI, and I don't like it.... Oh...It's DPI? Ok....cool"

“I’m an offensive guy”

I found this real annoying he kept always siding with the offense on clear penalties.

Walker was in perfect position on this play and the offensive player was grabbing him. Ridiculously bad penalty.

I don't remember the exact timing on it but we'd already challenged and won the Kirk hit on the helmet one so maybe Kliff thought I don't want to use my 2nd challenge this soon?

I think You’re dead on.

Especially considering it’s only a 10 yard penalty vs a spot foul on DPI. But we also would’ve gotten another challenge. Imo there wasn’t anyway they couldn’t overturn it. But hey, these officials on the field & in NY are blind as bats as well lol

That was the old rule you got 2 and if you got them right you got a 3rd, is that still the rule I honestly don't know?

That one was so blatant I would have challenged it just to get a chance to yell about it. And if they don't overturn it, yell some more.
