'21 Recruiting Forum: Music City Bowl vs. Purdue Pregame/Game Thread

Purdue was Pitt and Ole Miss caliber. Didn't like the way the game was officiated but have to play through that. Red zone offense schematically needs improvement. Tweak this and the wins will begin to pile up. Well yeah, but defense is an after thought at this point. Like the interceptions. GBO.

The action on the field determines the outcome. If a ref accidentally drops his whistle the play doesn't keep going until he can pick it up. He killed the play with his arms before blowing the whistle. He was running in before he blew the whistle. He determined (incorrectly) that the play was over and that's all that matters.

It also needs to be looked at. You can't make that call when a dude is still churning at the goal line. It's not like he was "stood up". Replay still has a lot to be desired. It still allows teams to get screwed off technicalities. As a huge baseball fan it's the worst. They tell them what the call was on the field.

Two things can be true at the same time. We both didn't play well and got screwed incorrectly and unfairly resulting in the end of the game. Our poor play most of the night doesn't make that call okay to end the game.

Plus the multiple phantom PI calls that left PU on the field to score where otherwise they would have had to punt.

Everything you’re saying about whistles being dropped is irrelevant. The whistle blew! No whistle was dropped! So quit the booger flicking and moving goal posts. In a situation like this, the whistle serves as much for validation as it does to stop play.

We could have (and should have) done things better to not be in that situation, but alas, we were in it. Calls like that should never affect the outcome of the game. EVER.

To blame it all on officiating is. But it definitely isn't to recognize it played a major part in the loss

This. Anybody saying officiating wasn’t a major part of this is stupid. They don’t sound objective, or smart, they sound like idiots. At some point the pattern of us getting screwed in these type games needs to be recognized.

Boys go to the play where Burrell “slipped” and watch it again…..

Burrell actually got toasted on the play and tried to dive at the receivers feet to trip him up and cause PI…..

Lol, freaking Warren Burrell….

He somehow marks him down a yard and half behind where the ball actually was

It's utterly preposterous how they can go with the refs incorrect spot and just dismiss when the whistle was blown, which was after he crossed the plane.

It doesn't matter if the ref was in the process of ruling him down, the whistle is what stops play! There was nothing stopping the players from playing!

We didn’t play perfect, but just like with Ole Miss, we still played good enough to win. Anybody trying to be “objective” and what not saying we didn’t is straight stupid. We did enough to win, we didn’t do enough to overcome incompetent officiating. There is a difference and it needs to be universally acknowledged.
