    The refs were homers in Saturday's games

    I saw so many plays were the home teams were getting the benefit of the officiating in the Panthers-Rams and Titans-Patriots.

    A couple of plays that really stand out is in the Panther-Rams game and the delay of game. The officials took way to much time to have ball spotted. The Panthers were at fault because they never watched the play clock but they said they never paid attention because the players took the same amount of time as all there FG tries after the ball was spotted. The officials should of reset the play clock when their error of taking too much time to position where the ball should be spotted and getting the K ball (kicking ball) set. The interference on 4th down that gave the Rams first down at the one instead of Panthers ball was also very suspect.

    In the Patriots game that holding penalty against the Titans at the end of the game was very weak. That is a something that happens on every play and to call such a weak penalty is disturbing as a fan of the game.
    There was more very homer calls but those stand out...
    When the game is on the line the officials are becoming over officious jerks and homers....

      Yes I also noticed. Especially the St. Louis game.

      One question though:

      On the Issac Bruce catch that was first ruled a completion due to a push-out, then overruled as an incomplete due to bobbling the ball, why wasn't a flag thrown in the first place? He was clearly pushed before he even caught the ball, that would've made it a pass interference, and it would've been 1st down spotted at the catch.

      They should've given the completion to him due to that blown no-call.

            You're right Don..that was called blocking, not holding. They were robbed right there! And Mr.M..he caught the ball with both feet in and it didn't move until he tried to catch his balance from being pushed. A few years ago when somebody asked me who my favorite team was, I sarcastically remarked, "The Zebra's"..they haven't changed much since!

                  Funny, if the shoe was on the other foot and it was the Titans that had the lead and a BS holding call severely hurt them I am sure they would be a bigger revolt than the Boston Tea party...I was watching as an objective viewer. In fact, I hate the Titans more than the Pats...

                    You people are joking right? Titans got there share of calls - a couple of those "out of their a$$' catches, if ruled incomplete on the field, probably were not certain enough to be overturned on replay.

                    How about the extra timeout Tenn got (a la the Seahawks / Ravens game)?

                    The takedown you all cry about was right in front of the ref - please.

                      You also don't mention the border line roughing the passer call on Seymour (he fell on McNair) that eventually led to a Titans TD in the first quarter.

                      Just because it happens early on doesn't mean they count any less.

                        Looked like great catches to me.

                        What extra time out?


                        They called aTO but the play was reviewed- so usually the refs will ask if they still want to take it or not.

                        Man you are a bit moody

                          The ball was gone he hit McNair had his arms around him and drove him to the ground that is a penalty...sorry.
