The refs have to call pick plays

KC got at least two big gains (one TD) on clear cut pick plays where one receiver knocked down the DB covering someone else...

 

The TV announcers saw it although they were afraid to call it what it was

 

I thought the refs looked right at it and didn't see it..

 

....You cant stop the top passing teams if that play is allowed...

 

 

Our coaches need to (and probably will) send some clips top the league office so refs are reminded that is clearly offensive pass interference

Thank YOU! They did it AT LEAST 3 times.. Hell, on one, the WRs were blocking before Smith had even thrown the ball and right in front of the ref in the middle of the field. Fasano and Bowe completely cleared out 2 DBs and a LB on another before the RB ever had the ball. Even Mayock commented on it, and how the Chiefs were getting away with it.

We won the game but the blatant pick plays and the missed false start on the Chiefs last drive were HORRIBLE no-calls on the refs part.

Oh there are many parts of the game where you could criticize the refs...mostly in KCs favor. Tons of no calls that really made a lot of difference. One of the TDs Smith got a shovel pass off because Mathis was being held by his facemask.

OP, this topic, when we get to Denver, will be crucial to our winning the game. IF coach doesn't get through to the ref's in advance enough for them to spot and call them, then we have to bump and run. Jamming the receivers EVERY time will be crucial. Lastly we'll have to get out our index finger and pick ourselves .... Great point OP. I actually hadn't seen as many as there were during the KC game.

We don't play Denver next week and we may not play them at all.

Won't happen

During regular season refs called 14 penalties a game

During playoffs it is 7.5. They are letting them play

Number of those being called on pick plays is probably less than 5% too.

Pick plays that New England and Denver run are very tough to stop because their recievers rarely make contact with the DB. Kansas City on the other hand got very lucky as they ran horrible pick plays that SHOULD have been penalized.

That's not a legitimate sample...dude..

 

...refs don't traditionally call half as many penalties in the post-season.

 

Our coaches have to (and I'm sure they see this) tell the refs to watch for clear cut basketball style picks KC was using very effectively.

 

Tell the refs and they'll make the calls.

Were you saying this when the Colts used them all the time or is it just now an issue because it was used against us?

Can't complain much about this. We've done our fair share of picks over the years and they didn't get called often.

What the Colts did was way different than what KC was running. The Colts ran a lot of rub routes to which each reciever was running an intended route. KC was literally going and blocking a DB in the path of one intended receiver. On multiple accounts Bowe and Fasano, the "pickers", were never intended to be receivers as they wouldn't even turn to look for the ball.

These plays were down-right blatant, and should have been called.

It was definitely frustrating seeing our DB's getting picked and KC getting first downs off of it but I liked the more laid back refs we had. There were many plays where I was shocked that we didn't get called for defensive holding and a couple plays where I think either Sheppard or Walden jumped on the runner while he was already on the ground. I'd say it balanced out pretty well.

I've kept my eye on twitter during the game...Albert Breer tweeted something about that... that he thought pick plays should be called or something like that.

      2024 NBA, Pacers and all NBA talk

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      I saw the media tried to make it out that the Celtics had an easy path to the finals. They went 64-18 during the season and 16-3 in the postseason. That is absolute domination from start to finish. Awesome to see Indiana native Brad Stevens get his first ring!!  I hope the Pacers close the gap and look forward to battling the Celtics the next few years.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By shasta519 · Posted

      I do agree about the great OL and play caller.    The DL will come down whether Latu is a legit stud pass rusher right away. JT has been a great RB, but not the past two years. The receivers are solid, but seems like most teams have good-great WR groups anymore.    This feels like a "if everything goes right" kind of thing. But it's the offseason.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By shasta519 · Posted

      Sure. It's possible that teams could have had boards that included many WRs as R1 grades, including Mitchell, and they just chose one over him. I worded that weirdly, but what I meant was that teams that didn't have him as a R1 player, it was for reasons beyond the rumors in this article.   But the "surefire first rounder until he was done dirty by rumors" doesn't track.    We know that AD ranked poorly in some advanced metrics (like yards per route run) that typically operate as requisites for successful NFL WRs (outliers are rare). We know what some team scouts had concerns from his Combine drills. And we know what happened at the draft.    And those comments that McGinn published weren't even his thoughts...they too were from NFL scouts.   Seems like the easiest and logical explanation is that teams had legit concerns (for multiple reasons) about AD and that, not rumors, is what pushed him down in the draft. But Destin seems to be spinning a couple of those concerns (that Ballard had addressed) to drive his narrative.

      Thanks @TheNewGuy   You’re right, nothing new to us in the article.  But it’s nice to read anything from the national media about the Colts.     I for one love it that most of the talking heads rarely mention the Colts.  But I’m guessing that media coverage will increase exponentially as the season goes on!   (However, I was also very excited when we got Matt Ryan.  So I may not be the best prognosticator…)

      But… they didn’t.  Banner #18!! This team has the potential to dominate for the next 4-5 seasons.  We will see what happens, but this was one of the best NBA teams of all time.
