Have To Keep This Going!

In the opinion of many around the football world, this was the most high-profile blown call in NFL history. Turner and Cavaletto were questioned about the call in the officials' locker room immediately after the game by NFL senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron, according to a league source.
After Vinovich told Riveron that it wasn't his play and it wasn't his call, Cavaletto told Riveron it simply was a "bang-bang" call. But then the officiating crew was shown a replay of Robey-Coleman plowing into Lewis before the ball arrived, and the room went quiet, according to a league source. They knew they missed the call.







Concern around NFL that 4 officials in NFC Championship Game live in Southern California

C'mon Man...

Missed the call? What a bunch of morons. If I were the official across the field I would've thrown a flag on that!

Re: Have To Keep This Going!

The most implacable part for me with these stupid a** refs is that they are schooled & drilled in their heads that the most crucial element of a tackle is "helmet to helmet" being priority #1. Even if you throw the flag, then after a group discussion pick it up, that call needs to be enforced.

The absolute worst non call in all of sports.
