One of my only beefs today

The reffing. Seriously. How do you screw up the down, more than once? How do you miss a BLATANT facemask on Fred Jackson late in the game. How do you call a holding call on Stroud, when he himself is being held? Ridiculous.

Re: One of my only beefs today

I've got many and this one of them. The reason I believe it wasn't acknowledged is because the league did away with the 5 yard rule; even tho that doesn't excuse it.

BTW, that supposed hold called on Stroud was bogus too. I guess the zebras were McHatin it and had to do sumthin. :d

The replay clearly showed Stroud holding. You could say offsetting penalties. The end result would still be the same, Denver's ball.

You're right TD but my issue with the call has nothing to do with the INT. If there are 130 snaps in a game there is holding by someone on both lines on 120 of them. For a zebra to pick that time late in a game to give a team an automatic first down shows poor judgement by that ref.

Did the flag come out after the INT?

Worse holding goes uncalled, every play. It was a horrible call.

No, that's why the INT didn't matter IMO to whether he call should have been made.

that was a defensive holding.

He grabbed the center with his left hand, and pulled him to the right, while he was being blocked by the guard.

this opened a lane for the linebacker blitz... that linebacker was in Cutler's face, Cutler hurried the throw, and threw a pick.

I'd say the penalty had a direct impact on the play.

i do agree with the missed face mask on the Jackson run. That was pretty obvious.
