Please stop, you are embarrassing.

We wouldn't have had a chance to win without calls going our way as well. We would have punted without that 'generous' delay of game penalty thus not taking the lead.

There is always judgement calls that go both ways every game. These refs are not full time employees. You get what you pay for.

Completely agree. On the other hand, arguing about how the refs cost us a big game is a lot more fun than listening to all the pessimists gripe about bad coaches, bad players, bad fans, etc. etc.

SEC refs have sucked for years. Yesterday was just reassurance that things will never change. Oh well...

I havent noticed anyone complaining about the refs. What have I missed?

A questionable PI or two but nothing else to gripe about.

I don't disagree with letting the ref talk die but how was the delay of game "generous"?

Bc it's not a penalty for one, that line can move all they want as long as they don't jump across the line. In the NFL, they can't mimic the QB calls either at the line.

Name one time you have ever seen that called and also go back and watch the game. The refs were going to move us back and changed their mind, so they had to come up with something. Stomping their foot??? LOL

Ultimately we shouldn't of let them drive down the field do easily in the first place but the refs butchered that PI call. I feel embarrassed for the people saying that it was clearly, 100 percent a fumble by Pig also. I'm over it now. And yeah it probably was, but it wasn't Certain at all.

My problem is replay officials.

Georgia player was clearly out of bounds about 1 yard short of a first down in first half. Might have been on their first TD drive. Think it would have made it 3rd down, instead they gave them 1st and goal.

Wtf is the point of replay officials if they don't do their job.

Exactly! The refs made calls both ways. In the end we got hosed by the replay booth.

I agree that the officiating didn't cost us the game, but it was very inconsistent. Missed calls on a worley facemask, multiple missed holding calls, a missed unnecessary roughness. I'm all for letting the guys play and be physical, but it has to be consistent. If all these penalties were overlooked then how can you call PI in the final minutes on a possibly uncatchable ball? It was a horribly officiated game, but we still had a chance to pull out the upset. I am proud of our boys.

personally i would have opted to take a PI call on every pass they tried in that last 20 seconds. you aren't going to give up any more yards at that point and just make sure they don't catch the ball and only have that final play of the game to make a true stop and win the game.

I cringed when we left so much time left on the clock. Was hoping we would milk it a little more but you gotta score when you can. Also still don't understand not taking a TO in the first half with 2 min left. We let them run it out.

You don't think that was the right call, it was clear that he done it on purpose, and was not just about to jump off sides.

I agreed at the time, but we had nothing going our way and I think that CBJ wanted to go to half and regroup without something bad happening to us and giving them another chance to score.

Would have been nice if RN had just went down at the 1 yard line, but hind sight is 20-20,

The delay of game was a real penalty. You should read the rule book and you would learn something.

No, no it is not...how many times have you seen defenses all shift at the same time, run forward and stop on a blitz before backing up, or just dropping to one knee quickly or standing up.

The refs blew that call, and even the head of officials said they blew that call. But, I'm sure you know more than them also

Yes, yes it is. You need to read the rule for delay of game so here it is.

In American football, an offensive team is penalized five yards for delay of game if it fails to put the ball in play by either snap or free kick before the play clock expires. This time limit varies by league, and is often 25 seconds from the time the referee signals the ball ready for play. In the National Football League, it can also be 40 seconds from the end of the previous down, depending on the circumstances at the time. Also, the defensive team can be given the same penalty if they fail to quickly yield the ball to officials after a play has ended, prevent a player on the offense from getting up after the play, or kicking the ball.


Even the commentators knew the rule.

When you can show me indisputable video proof that Pigs hand is not controlling the ball at the stripe, I'll stop complaining about the bum in the booth throwing the game. But you can't. It doesn't exist. FACT: Hand is fully on ball at stripe, then released by thumb and redirected by fingers after reaching stripe (touchdown). Claiming indisputable video proof he lost the ball before stripe is indefensible.

That's a touchdown people. Overturning that score is an outrage.

The fact that you can watch that video and say it was a TD says you're 100% a homer man... It's not even close
