Institutionalized Pass Interference

The bicep grab is tough to call and if you can execute it to the point that ref doesn't think it's a flag, that's a win.

They seem to be missing the obvious, if the receiver can’t put his hands up cause a defender is holding it down, that should be automatic PI. I have also noticed in College and NFL there seems to be a lot of missed face mask calls.

Have they sent you the updated rule book? You may not have gotten the memo.

The game has changed. Not sure when but it went from absolutely no contact on the receiver of any kind after 5 yards, to the receiver and defender arm wrestling and tugging on each other during the entire route. Officials now have to judge “too much tugging” versus “any contact at all”. Much more subjective.

All this is true, but our wr’s need more separation too. Perhaps we’ll start seeing it with Better routes and combos

The refs and umps in all sports are no different than they were 30 years ago. But we live in an entitlement society now where we demand perfection from anyone who has an impact our our performance. The outrage over MLB umps is comical. A home plate umpire misses a strike call by an inch and people lose their minds. It’s ridiculous, people need to stop blaming everyone but themselves for things not going their way on the field

Oh lord... we all entitled for wanting refs and umps to do their job properly. I guess Angel Hernandez is God's give to baseball and anyone calling him out for being worse than most little league umps is just an entitled Millennial. I guess back in your day the umps were all legally blind and half deaf and if anyone said anything about it it was off to the gulag with you.

DBs are taught how to arm bar and hand grab and not get caught.
It’s encouraged.
90% of the time it works and they get away with it.
It’s worse than unsportsmanlike conduct.
It’s an abomination of the game.
Cynical.

Solution: put a ref in the booth to stop play for review. There’s only 1 ball. It’s a quick and easy call to make. NFL did it after infamous Rams Saints no call.
Penalty is spot foul.
If flagged twice in a game for it, sit out 4 quarters. Not draconian bc the foul is totally intentional. Like spearing.

It's an impossible task to officiate ANY premier level sport, much less football. The size and speed of the players, the complexity of the modern game, the speed at which a play unfolds, Lord , I would not want to have that kind of responsibility. Don't forget, campers, that NCAA and NFL football is show business, and nobody is coming to see the refs. There is a fine balance between calling important fouls and turning the game into a choppy unsatisfying spectacle with flags throughout the game. Also, there is the fact that ( at least in power 5 conferences), you are in the big dogs club and you aren't going to get everything you want.

How about accountability for refs? The officiating in all sports has become piss poor in the last couple of years...and there are no consequences.

This the THE solution. If you know there are consequences, you're much more likely to prioritize accuracy.

It’s not a bad call. It’s a no call bc the ref cannot see it from his vantage.

There have been several "no calls" when it happened in plain view of the official.

The official was staring at the one where Squirrel made that circus catch with the DB's arm wrapped around his face mask.

The ones that bother me aren't the ones they can't see or the close ones. There are 4 or 5 so far this season that should have gotten an official suspended or fired. The "crack back" called on Castle vs UF should have gotten that official reprimanded or suspended.

Those are game changing calls. They impact the outcome in substantial ways.

The SEC alone is a multi-billion dollar enterprise. There is EVERY reason to expect the officiating to be good and consistent.

I'd like to see PI become a spot foul....that would slow down the blatant interference. 15 yards aint that much versus giving up a big play. Plus something has to be done about the FLOPPING B.S. It's so blatant.
GO VOLS!!

DBs usually get away with it on sideline routes because the ref has to be in position to make the out of bounds call, and the receiver blocks his view.

I wonder if, within the refereeing community, there's a silent nod that this evens out the pass interference calls DBs unfairly get when a sideline fly route is terribly underthrown.

Nothin' that 30 cameras and an A.I. ref can't handle.

And the real beauty of it is they can have a no call when needed and a flag when needed. Perfect setup.

Yes just like Holding they can call it on every play its up to their judgment . And Refs can use this legally as a way to change the outcome of games .
