Alabama - 1 penalty 5 yards

[BreatheUT]

Stop blaming the refs. We had a better whistle than what we got vs USCjr/TAMU at home. We gave up 27 straight points.

Say what?

 

[GAVol]

I agree, I just watched a recording of the entire incident and am left flabbergasted. Hopefully the replay the refs saw showed more than was shown on the public broadcast. Bc if not, it’s completely ridiculous

If there’s not something more definitive than what they showed on the replay, heads need to roll. The other returner’s hands never got above about waist high.

 

[J C Higgins]

Want to see an official description of a fair catch signal but I thought at least one arm had to be extended overhead and waved in a side to side manner.

Same thing on Iowa.

 

[YankeeVol]

They had to make up for last year in Neyland*

*according to Bubba fans

 

[Revengevol]

Well they got 17 last year at our place so the refs were just making up for it.

Yep, and I’m not big on blaming the refs, but this looks very odd to say the least! That mixed with Bama only getting the 1 penalty does seem a bit fishy.

Again, I always trend to the side that defends the refs, but this could possibly warrant further investigation.

 

[90 Vol]

Great way to describe it.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Yeah. I got WAY too into the game today and I’m going to take some time off. This one really wore me out.

 

[vols40]

I didn't at first but they showed it later on. It's not the traditional wave like a punt, instead they hold their arms out to the side at a 45 degree angle. Dee Williams definitely made that signal.

The refs sucked tonight no question but that one unfortunately was legit.

Disagree

 

[Switch 625]

I’ve made this same comparison

 

[VolinWayne]

One of the many missed calls today. This was on Bamas first touchdown drive of the 2nd half

 

[Cartervol]

The NFl sure is. Some stuff a lot of times seems pre determined.. Like Bama Winning today..

 

[DrTNT]

They hold all the time and they also get no PI calls when they do something worse than we did yet they call PI on us. I’m tired of the biased refs. It’s one thing if they call the game down the middle or if TN would ever have a big game where the calls go our way, but we never do


Get these geriatric idiots off the field and replace them with younger guys, or better yet just call the game using technology instead of relying on these ancient relics

I have said multiple times, I won’t blame them for a loss when they’re calling is equally bad for both teams, but when it’s blatantly one sided that pisses me off to no end!

 

[DrTNT]

Stop blaming the refs. We had a better whistle than what we got vs USCjr/TAMU at home. We gave up 27 straight points.

That we likely wouldn’t have given up if the refs had called even half of the penalties on Bama they were committing during that stretch.

 

[BP4Prez]

And the one was a blatant false start where they had no choice

 

[mpfvol]

A single penalty in a whole game is literally impossible.

And that penalty actually helped them he snapped the ball no one was ready on Bama . I have never in my 40 years of watching football seen a snapped ball called a false start.

 

[vols40]

We lost because we gave up 27 straight points. If we hadn't choked inside the 10-yard line twice in the 1st half it probably wouldn't have mattered. We had some truly awful calls in USCjr/TAMU that directly affected the score. There was only 1 egregious no-call in today's game and it was the hold on Baron.

There was a missed holding call on (castles) one of those inside the red zone possession those types of calls/no calls don't even out when it's not called on both teams. But your 27 straight points take is spot on.

 

[fullmetalvol]

It wasn't even a penalty. The play should have continued. But if it had, it would have been bad news for Bama so they called it..

The quarterback was moving forward towards the center/line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped, it should have been called illegal procedure instead of illegal snap. That's the only reason besides the refs just suck I could come up with when they blew it dead. oh and yes, those refs sucked.

 

[vols40]

Let’s be honest… it was a red anticipating something, blowing his whistle early, then figuring out how to justify it.

Football has descended into making calls based on a "fair catch" by a player who had no chance to field the ball. LMAO.

 

[vols40]

That we likely wouldn’t have given up if the refs had called even half of the penalties on Bama they were committing during that stretch.

Not only were we not getting consistent calls but they were destroying us spotting the ball. Two straight calls were reviewed. Lol

 

[Cartervol]

It was 10 point swing there with the choke hold on Baron then that shat call..All due to refs sucking at their job. Unless you're a Bubba fan the you probably liked it.

 

[DrTNT]

Not only were we not getting consistent calls but they were destroying us spotting the ball. Two straight calls were reviewed. Lol

Yeah, not to mention using the stoppage to allow Bama to sub…

 

[Manning4ever]

There’s no way they only got one penalty

You are absolutely correct. The only call missed was the punch to the head against us on that run. Outside from that Bama only having one penalty was clearly unfair

 

[HighRockvol]

The NFl sure is. Some stuff a lot of times seems pre determined.. Like Bama Winning today..

Nfl is definitely fixed
