IF the Officials done their jobs correctly. There would be a penalty on either side of the ball on almost every play.

Officials pick&Choose when they throw the flag, it's been that way for 40 years or more.

My ex roommate is a sec line judge . I’ve complained to him for ten years about the holding. When Barnett was here he would avoid my phone calls because he knew what I was going to say or show him.Finally he gave me straight answer I had been wanting. They could call holding every play. They are told if it doesn’t affect the play to not call it. Sounds crazy but I almost believe him. My problem is the no calls not the actual holding calls.

I don’t even care if Bama got screwed on a couple of calls considering they’ve gotten away with bending the rules under Saban for years & years.

Karma finally caught up to their program and I don’t feel sorry one bit.

Yet they call them 20 yards away from the play when we play. Meanwhile, Alabama has a guy in a head lock or by the jersey a step away from the quarterback and they call nothing.

This week showed SEC officiating is equal opportunity suck, IMO. It's popular here to say we get screwed by the refs, but they really just suck for everyone.

The TX/GA call/uncall shows the need for professional officials for a professional game. The SEC has the money to ref football and basketball with professionals they can hold accountable. It's time.

Plus two blatant face masks tugs by them . Neither one was ever even reviewed much less actually called. Go figure 🤷‍♂️

Yes, it seems like in most games we get a ton of holding penalties while the other side doesn’t get many called. But it’s at least in part due to undisciplined nonsense by our players. We make a lot of unforced errors - false starts, offsides, etc. I’ve wondered frequently why this coaching staff appears to be unable to improve that for us more consistently. Is it a symptom of trying to play uptempo?

Basically, the SEC refs are absolutely atrocious. They made several calls that weren't actually penalties and just as many no calls that should have been called. That is pretty much everywhere and any game. No bias, just general inattention to detail and lack of skill/knowledge.

He times it perfectly to the millisecond…as the ball started to think about moving he was in the perfect position.

I'm going to keep posting it, because the idea that we were anywhere close to being wrong on that play is just...wrong.

Watch from exactly 2:31:54. The OT flinches first, Pearce goes, OT starts moving all the way early. It's super clear that Pearce was keying on the OT. The idiot announcing crew and the "rules official" that chose to cover for Bama every single time apparently couldn't even see it in slowmo.

It is VERY VERY clear that 57 shifted, THEN Pearce moves forward. It was either a good no-call, or a false start.

I'm not sure if human eyes can detect that short of an interval, but upon review there was NOTHING wrong with that call.

I watched it 10 times. I do not see the Bama tackle move before Pearce. I also do not see the ball being snapped before Pearce enters the neutral zone. My eyes see Pearce offsides. My eyes also see Pearce held on the play which also went uncalled. I'm fairly certain you cannot as an offensive tackle reach from behind and grab the DE as this guy does with his left arm. All that to say this crew threw a ton of flags some for penalties that never occurred, but they also missed a lot. I'm just happy that for once Bama didn't get all the breaks. This crew also suffered severely to spot the ball correctly. Not just the QB sneak but they missed Bama guys clearly stepping out of bounds multiple times that replay had to reverse. The refs played as sloppy as both teams did IMO.

Then I suppose you're blind. It's visible clear as day in the slowmo replay at the exact mark I mentioned.

He starts falling backwards, which is what triggered Pearce to go. He also didn't make it over the line.

I watched it 2 more times. I finally saw it. It was easier for me to see in the second replay. Kudos to you for spotting that. And yes I am about blind with or without my contacts so no offense taken!

Here’s the plan going forward. They’re going to raise ticket prices again with a “fine fee”. When there’s a bad call we just throw stuff on the field until they reverse the call.
