As much as I hate the zebras I hate these guys more. If only because I want Der Kommisar to come across badly.

The Garcon TD play should of had a holding or illegal contact penalty as well since Harper was held enough to be prevented from making a play on Garcon, that is what led to that long TD.

And lastly WRONG calls are devastating. These college refs cant seem to get it through their thick inexperienced skulls that contact does not equate to pass interference. We have been screwed by at least 4-5 WRONG calls for pass interference in the preseason and week 1 of the regular season.

Hell I dunno if they would call it in College.

anyone remember LSU-Auburn some years back in what was called Ref Gate?

Yeahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

I forget who it was, but in our game there were at least TWO non-whistles, where the forward progress of the Saints runner/receiver had been stopped, he was upright and wrapped up, no whistle, and Redskins players were twisting the guy around and punching at the ball and trying to bend his knees the wrong way. That kind of "lazy" whistle, is eventually going to (a) get somebody hurt and (b) result in fumbles and changes of possession that are not really fumbles, for whatever team it happens to, not just the Saints. A lot of injuries happen when there is that scrum, the pile is actually upright and stationary, and then if there is no whistle, that one outside defensive player (usually a defensive secondary guy) runs flying in at full speed and hurtles his body in there, hitting the pile and twisting people of both teams. That's not b***ching about the refs to point out that it is dangerous and unnecessary.

I think it was during one of the preseaon games that the broadcasting team stated that the officiating crews (regular referees) got together sometime during this past year or two and discussed this exact situation and what to do in it.

They apparently came to the conclusion that they were consistently blowing the play over too quickly, and that is why they decided that they would in the future give more time for the scrum to develop before blowing the play dead (the forward progress), so that more plays could be made by players in those type of situations - both offensively and defensively.

So, with that in mind, I can't really fault the replacement refs for following that same guideline set by the regular referees.

I WISH they were college refs, the NCAA refs are in solidarity with the NFL refs, these guys are Arena Football refs that don't even know the rules of the game.
