Good block that was called a penalty...wrong..both announcers said it was clean block...

Was a full on pancake block, the defender was running backwards and devery just pushed him, defender fell on his back and refs threw the flag.

Was a perfectly clean block, refs f'ed up, sproles didn't look happy, I wouldnt be either

The officiating crew called things really tight in that game.

I will play Devil's Advocate and say it was because early in the game, after every second play or so, there was shoving and such going on. They clamped down.

There were two (one on each side) pass interference calls that I thought were BS.

I hope we get the same crew this week. If they pay the same amount of attention to the Falcons' receivers......... They will not make a first down the entire game! Without the push-off or picks, they have zero pass game.

btw, the Dev block was a TOTAL pancake! Bad call.

Just a bad call and he was too ashamed to just pick the flag up.
There was no technicality he could think of to help him save face, so he just went with it.
