Officiating at the End of Game (1 Viewer)

[Zaphod]

That was actually a legit penalty. Lattimore took a really dumb shot at a guy away from the play after the receiver was down.

I missed it and didn't see what happened. I was too busy celebrating and thinking the game was won

Also, has the rule changed? Does a qb no longer need to be under duress for it to be grounding? How can an immediate spike be under duress?

You have to give it to the officials. They did all they could to help the falcons. It made me mad when the Saints were driving for their last TD, and they throw a screen to Kamara who got hit for a 6 yard loss and driven back 4 yards. For some reason, they count the yards he was driven back and spot the ball at the 48, making it 2nd and 20. We got a first down on the next play, but still.

I noticed that too... I don't think I've ever seen refs spot it like that before

And adding a few seconds back every play, with a hometown clock operator

I saw that on a number of occasions. It was blatant.

 

[BG4L]

Putrid.

Yeah they should never have had a kick to be blocked in the first place. At least 3 seconds added back on to the clock on that last drive.

 

[The Unrest Cure]

NFL refs are exposed by the cameras, but this crew really doesn't deserve too many more chances at all. Beyond the highly-questionable decisions they made they made an absolute hash of communicating with the teams on those decisions.

That phantom holding after the warning

 

[soupcan dan]

as jamies would say " it's already done ! "

I watched the replay — Lattimore took a cheap shot from the receiver first, a shove to the chest after the play was over. Lattimore retaliated with a shove back, and the receiver sold it well. Then the ref flagged Lattimore for the retaliation…of course.

Lattimore pass interference was dumb too. I seen him played like that for a long time and it seems so convenience. But Lattimore was an idiot for the personal foul. The spike to stop the clock and the penalty was b/s. Landry was tackle in bound.

 

[ilvdsnts]

Hard to blame Winston for the intentional grounding. Landry looked inbounds. Our coaches should’ve been on top of it and been in Winstons helmet mic.

DA was the one telling Winston to spike it.

 

[Merl]

Giving Smith an after the snap timeout…

The replay clearly showed Smith calling the T/O before the snap.

Side note. If you’re a head coach and the ref is 10-15 yards away from u and u need a crucial time out

Why aren’t u in an all out sprint to the ref instead of just hoping they see u.

Falcons gonna falcon
