The Refs sucked!!!!!!

[Potomac Griz]

So they are saying that one ref claims to have received the page before the snap... yet none of them blew the play dead or acted on it until well after the play was over and the ball was spotted at the 2. At that point they got together for their little conference and decided to review the previous play .

 

[IdahoGrizFan]

So did I understand that a pager going off, will negate a play even though the refs did nothing before the snap. When does common sense step forward and just make the right call. Unbelievable.

Explain the CCU offense advancing a fumble at the end of the game? That's not allowed. Explain the CCU coaches stepping onto the field to call their plays. That's not allowed. At one point the CCUs head coach and rb coach stepped in front of the Line Judge to get onto the field and get their plays in. That's flag football shit there.

 

[GrizzleMoose]

The sad part about the review and disallowing the play is that it was a blatant disregard for the actual rules in place. The referee set the ball, they started the clock and they all let the play happen. The head official should have never let the review happen. This May or may not have changed the final outcome of the game but it sure had an impact. It wasn't just a bad call like holding or PI. This showed that this crew is completely incompetent and they should be reprimanded and suspended at the least. They should be embarrassed and I believe owe an apology to the University of Montana. The NCAA should be embarrassed and they owe the u of m an explanation.

"No matter what make sure we cover each other's butts at the end of the game." This has a certain stench about it. One bad call maybe butt an entire game should not be tolerated by the NCAA. This should not happen!

Sigh. Just got off the road from the game. The whole way I'm pissed and can't wait to see if Egriz nation felt the same way. I'm not going to say CCU won on the refs- they played outstanding on offense. Kudus to their adapting to this road trip. Where the refs have such a huge impact is just demoralizing for fans. Not just the inexplicable review of a prior play, but missing what appeared to be a horse collar tackle of Wags about 3 yards from the ref. They just ignored it. And what was the deal on Jones? Looked to be standing still arms folded like striking a pose(?) didn't see him do much but hard to see from my seat.

Since when can you not advance a fumble? Is that new?

Also, just watched auburn/missouri and coaches were all over the field.

 

[GrizzleMoose]

If one ref got a page, they should have blown the play dead even if the play had already started. They did not. They actually spotted the ball at the three yard line and then proceeded to huddle up and decide to review the play. These morons know they fucked up and are just trying to cover their asses. Blame it on technology, what a bunch of horse shit. Admit you fucked up like men and take what you have coming. Definitely the worst redding blunder I have ever seen.

The call on Jones was bullshit...but it's a call that's made frequently for any show of excitement after a TD. Sometimes they make that call sometimes they don't. They did that to an EWU receiver years ago in Missoula, and it was bullshit then too. If I remember right pretty much everyone here agreed it was bullshit.

The biggest WTF non-call I saw was the CC player that had the leg of one of our OLinemen and was yanking it up into the air like he was trying to rip it off. That was right in front of the ref and continued well after the whistle. The ref just looked at it and did nothing.

Shit like that happens though... the review debacle though. Wow. That should never happen and was unacceptable to just rewrite the rules like that.

Cat/griz insider has the ref explaination on facebook.

Pure BS!

Yup. If I were the coach I definitely would have been ejected from the game after that BS fiasco then I would've thrown a rule book at the ref

You are correct, advancing a fumble is fine.

The coaches on the sideline though... I thought the rule had a set number of people that could be in that white area on the sidelines. In previous games we've seen teams warned for having too many coaches right up nearly on the field. Our sideline was obeying that rule, theirs was all over the damn place. Not saying that's a major infraction of course, just that the ref on that side probably should have told them to back the fuck up at some point like they usually do. Kind of a non-issue really though.

the ccu coaches were actually on the field of play during several plays. This is a penalty and should have been called as well. Just ask Mike Tomlin. Cost him a 100 grand. It is against the rules.

...and the hold on Tripp on the QB sideline run right in front of the ref
...and the obvious PI call that has to be made from 20 yards away because the two refs right there are playing with themselves

I can't remember a game reffed this poorly, at least 6 or 8 just obviously blown calls by guys who were in position to make them.

 

[justanotherfan]

Our offense put up 557 yards and we outgained CCU's high powered offense by 150 yards, our defense made as many stops as we would usually expect them to make. I refuse to blame Delaney at all, for christ sakes he was 10 and 3.

Talent can sometimes overcome bad coaching...we could easily have been 6-6. Our coaching is terrible....oh we'll, maybe for only one more year. Case in point...down by 3 touchdowns in the second half and Jordy is under center directing an off tackle play?

 

[gtcat]

Quit fuckin cryin and get over it, you will be ok, the world didn't end. We finally saw what happens when you don't play a shitty Cats or Weber team

 

[griz4life]

In the last two minutes of a half, and also on fourth down, the only player on offense who can advance a fumble is the player who fumbled the ball. Not a new rule guys.And not what happened at the end of the game.

 

[griz5700]

So many weird calls/non-calls it makes you wonder...

The excessive celebration/taunting call was the kick in the nuts. Total bullshit.

 

[nzone]

Quit f***[*] cryin and get over it, you will be ok, the world didn't end. We finally saw what happens when you don't play a shitty Cats or Weber team

We lost and that's a fact but these refs should not be allowed to ref another playoff game. The players deserve better.

Surely you don't expect the refs from today to know the rules do you?

 

[Kodiak]

The spot on the 3rd down catch to Naccarrto was bad I thought. They were spotting the Griz 1 yard short all day...Also, I thought the DE on the JJ Interception was offside. I can't even wrap my head around the replay.....it was beyond incompetent.
