Live, it looked like a normal finish to an emotional play (flipping the ball in the air) There was so much noise in he stands, it was hard to even hear what the referee said He flipped the ball straight up. I think it was not the most egregious call/non call. Senat was being held AND grabbed the face mask. Alaka hit some dude with his towel. Dumb on his part but he was defending Q. The targeting was a bad missed call. I thought the non call on the intentional grounding was a makeup on the next play. The refs were horrible, I just saw the players doing a lot more talking and after the play dramatics. Almost like they were too good for us (which they weren't).

They also wanted to flag DJ at the half yard line for being emotional. Thankfully they picked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid penalties are about the only way they can let the players know they're watching and can take away the fun at any moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was kind of the story since the first game. We owned the 4th quarter all year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
