Re: I havn't seen the Ravens get this screwed by the refs in a long time.
Hey all,
Try to keep the officiating rants in here this week, so we can keep everything in one spot.
I rarely think the officials cost the Ravens a game, but today I believe they did. They took 4 points from the team which was the difference in winning and losing.
Yes, the team sucked today. But they had a touchdown there which was the difference.
And then not to call intentional grounding on Vick at the end of the game gave them an extra down.
Horrible HORRIBLE officiating.

Re: Officiating (Merged Threads)
How is the non intentional grounding call on the eagles last drive not worthy of questioning the officials?
You go from 3rd and goal on the 2 to 3rd and goal on the 12. Much, much different scenario.
They were pretty bad, but we ha a chance late in the game that we didn't execute.

Re: Officiating (Merged Threads)
There are a lot of calls that are subjective that someone can say went against the Ravens (especially the absurd PI call on Jones; and about 3 PI's that were instead called illegal contact), and I think on the merit of those alone it was pretty bad. However, the one that REALLY gets me is the Vick overturned fumble. He clearly doesn't fumble, but he also CLEARLY intentionally grounds it. The only people in 5 yard of that ball are Eagle OL's (and none particularly close). Vick is in the pocket, and the ball never makes it back to the line of scrimmage. It is TEXTBOOK intentional grounding. If they call that properly, it's 3 and goal from the 7 or 10, not the 1. They ignore the penalty when they overturn the fumble ruling and boom, Eagles walk it into the endzone. That's a game changing call, and I don't think it's at all subjective, anyone that watches the play and knows the rules would recognize it.

Re: Officiating (Merged Threads)
I don't know about that. They really botched a lot calls both ways. Not saying the Ravens loss because of the refs, but their head scratching calls definitely affected the game. No more so than the Vick incomplete/fumble play at the goal line.
Shouldn't the call have been that Vick was in the grasp on the defender and therefore a sack. Ngata has him wrapped up, driving him to the ground. I've seen this called numerous times before. A QB in the grasp of a defender taking a sack can't just flip the ball forward to avoid a negative play. I wonder if the regular refs would've caught that.Master of 'Gifs for dummies'

Mod, nothing personal, but why would you merge a thread with one from last week's game?
Completely different animal.

Re: I havn't seen the Ravens get this screwed by the refs in a long time.
The way the defense was playing they would've let Vick score without the extra down.
But the game was lost by that horrendous offensive pass interference call. I was jumping up saying TD and then it gets called back for a non-existent push off. That gives the Ravens a 10 point lead and almost certainly the game.
This is one of the worst called games I have ever seen and almost all the calls favored the Eagles. All those non-calls when the Eagles were committing pass interference. Finally we got a couple of illegal contact calls and those should have been pass interference.
I hope the NFL does something about this. At the very least the "official" who robbed the Ravens of the game winning TD should be fired.

Re: Don't blame the offense. Don't blame the defense. Blame the refs, and only the refs.

Has there ever been a game with no defensive pi calls and an offensive pi cal
If I recall right all the PI calls on defense were really called as illegal contact yet they called a PI call on Jones in the end zone.
has there ever been a game called like this before?????
i hate blaming the refs but we got screwed here.

Re: Officiating
Not going to weigh in on whether the calls were one-sided, but if you can't admit this was the worst officiated game you have ever seen in the NFL, you'll have to send me the tape. They lost complete control of the game with at least 6 different fights.
They repeatedly didn't know where to spot the ball. At least 5-8 times they had to huddle up to check, and re-check spots. They did not know the correct distance for an offensive pass interference. They called a fumble on Vick that was clearly an incomplete pass. And I don't know how Vick didn't have grounding called against him on that play when the ball didn't make it to the LOS. There were 2 Two minute warnings.
They repeatedly called Illegal Contact when the correct and only call could have been P.I. And they repeatedly missed holding and illegal contact. They made a borderline Offensive P.I. call where the defender didn't even see the ball. And there was zero consistency with how roughing the passer was being called.
This was amateur hour (or I suppose amateur 4:30 hours given how long the game took with all their mistakes) pure and simple.
