Bruce Arians rips NFL officiating after loss to Saints, calls their decisions 'baffling'

Bruce Arians couldn't believe NFL officiating ruled against him twice in Week 5.

What happened on the fumble? I didn't see the game, I was stuck watching the Texans kicking the clowns.

Jason Garrett got flagged (unsportsmanlike like conduct) for slamming the second challenge flag in front of an official and apparently saying something he shouldn’t have. It was hilarious!

Harris definitely fumbled, but they blew it dead, then on the review said there was a fumble but no clear recovery (although a Bucs player came out of the pile with it). If the situation had been reversed, I'd have been furious.

They said there was no clear recovery. Technically, they may have been right, but if it were us, we would have been furious.

It also didn't matter. The Bucs intercepted a pass a couple plays later, ended up right about where they would have been and scored a TD anyway.

Harris and a TB player went after it. Harris had hand on it, TB player looked to then try and get it, but then it was a pile. So there was no clear TB recovery once the pile happened. They couldn't determine so no way to give them the ball.

Right call with rule.

Arians can bark all he wants. His team was out played and out coached today.

Wait, what is it everyone says

“Get over it”

 

[AARPSaint]

Well, Bruce, welcome back to the NFL. Saints fans know all about defective officiating.

 

[Jeff Miller]

The Bucs got hosed on Harris’ fumble. But 2 plays later they got the ball back on the Kamara caused INT, so it was a wash anyways.

The refs blew the fumble call, but it wouldn’t have changed the game. They got a TD off a turnover right after that, I think.

The MT push was a dumb challenge, it was very ticky tacky.

It was a bad call for sure. Just more evidence to why we need full time refs.

I'm not saying the refs made the wrong call. Doesn't matter. What matters is after an off season of some pundits were saying saints fans should get over bad officiating, well it seems like plenty of teams and their fans are getting a taste of it.

They let MT's push go b/c the TB DB had his hands on MT when MT pushed off.

Maybe Coach Adrian has a point. But in related opinion, our coaches seriously need to have talk with Harris about ball security. He had a muff punt earlier that he recovered. So far there is about 4 or 5 times he had put the ball on the ground already. With Harris you have to take the good with the bad. He will gives some good returns but ball security is a problem with him. He needs to put in his mind that ball security is first and foremost and not try to make something happen every single time. It is just nerve racking every time I watch him catch a punt.

It's the rule - right or wrong. Coming out of the pile doesn't count. Here is an article of an even worse application of the rule:

NFL's "clear recovery" instant replay rule needs to change

The Cowboys fumbled the opening kickoff on Sunday and the Eagles recovered.

We'd have been ticked off if the teams had been reversed, so I'm not going to fault Arians for being ticked off about it.
