PHI @ IND Post-game discussion: miscellaneous (including reffing)

[21isSuperman]

If it doesn't fit in any of the other post-game discussions, please post it here

[Nobody]

The refs are bad and should feel bad

[nburgmei]

Including reffing...not much to say other than a terrible no-call and an almost equally terrible penalty = hand the Eagles the game. I'd say this game certainly won't put this officiating crew on the fast-track to the Superbowl.

[Colts_Fan12]

Even the media knows those were horrid missed calls

[Derakynn]

They shouldn't feel bad. They should be on a boatride into the Bermuda Triangle. They were horrid and their officiating was so blatantly biased that it was disgusting. 

[trueblueblood]

It's time to be able to challenge/ review penalties. This is just crazy.

[MTC]

Blaming the refs for this loss is weak. Very weak. 

[PuntersArePeopleToo]

Something wrong when you cant touch a guy on defense but can get mugged on offense

[ricker182]

Blaming the refs for this loss is weak. Very weak. 

No it isn't. This is the one time it would be acceptable. That was a 10 pt swing. I hate this crap "we had our chances".   

We did and we were converting then had it stripped from us by the refs.

I never like to blame refs but come on man.....

Come on

It's not so much blaming as it is contributing. Still they make those two calls correctly and the colts win

very weak?! Our defense gave up 9 points. The refs gave them 21

What? This game was handed to the Eagles by the refs.

[GoColts8818]

Cue the I am sorry letter from the league to the Colts this week.

 

There is no questioning that the officials played a rather large impact on the outcome of the game but they don't make up for "three" I am sorry two turnovers, no pass rush at all, and questionable play calling at the end of the game. 

 

I don't want to hear one more word about the point of emphasis this year on defensive holding and illegal contact.  Two weeks in row the Colts have gotten hurt by no calls late in the game on something the league is supposed to be focusing on this year.  Honestly if I were Grigson when I get the letters this week I would send them back and say not good enough tell your officials to do their job right or get someone who can.

They needed to just make the first call correctly and the Colts would have scored something.  But doing two bad calls back to back like that is horrible.

And ignoring it makes it right?

[ibolski]

I am so ticked right now I can't even sleep. Just an inexcusable mess by pep and the D. Pep needs to go.

[1959Colts]

I blame Pagano.

[1yrdandacloudofdust]

Im ticked my Pagano thread was locked. Whats with all the locking?

[trueblueblood]

If I do my job incorrectly, if I completely butcher my job responsibilities, I get fired. When refs do it, "I'm sorry" and that's it. Makes me sick.

[GoColts8818]

Blaming the refs for this loss is weak. Very weak. 

The Colts were in position to go up 10 points at the very least when the refs missed a clear illegal contact or holding, or PI call that lead to turnover.  Then two plays later they gave the Eagles a free 15 yards on a play that should have been a loss to make it a long yardage situation on the drive that tied the game.  There is no denying they impacted the out come of the game.

 

As I said before it doesn't mean there aren't other factors too but there is no denying they impacted the game big time tonight. 

[The Old Crow]

Who knows what is up with " The Mod Squad."

[Poster X]

Why multiple threads instead of one for gameday? This is hard to follow with the forum full of so many bad threads started... silly move making it three threads.

Luck isn't happy right now. Understandably so. Asked if it was a flag: "it doesn't matter what I think. It was an interception." #Colts

Pagano is pretty * off about the no-call on the interception. I'm on his side on this one - awful, game-changing no-call. #Colts

Eagles last touchdown doesn't happen without the "horse collar" call. That drive would've been stopped on that play. That call was the last of a string of calls that turned the game over to the Eagles. Calls like that should be reviewable. At least the New York replay official should be able to chime in with the refs on the field and say "no guys, you got that one wrong."

I am usually one to say calls go both ways and won't swing a game one way or the other, but this game was indeed decided by the refs.

cue the fine for Pagano too even though he's right.  Sometimes you have to take those fines though to get the league's attention.

[Defjamz26]

I have no faith is the refs to make correct calls anymore. I hope by next season you can challenge penalties. They gifted the Eagles that win.

[snkdy]

^ There should have been a call, but that pass should never have been thrown. Sigh, this sucks. That game was ours.

[Poster X]

4 threads for one game. Epic mod fail.

[Mikemccoy84]

Calling the pass there is fine

[ricker182]

Agreed. Unacceptable at this level. Those refs should be held accountable, but they won't. I'm losing faith in the NFL.

Because there is no way there will be any kind of productive discussion in one thread where people will be talking about reffing, T-Rich, Pep, Luck, the pass rush, etc.

[Happy2BeHere]

Colts just simply didn't play well enough to win...they defensively can't perform well enough they allow too many yards and too many points

[ricker182]

Yes they did. They were on the wrong end of bad officiating.

I beg to differ. The one game day thread would have stopped the forum being overtaken by 4 more thread with the twenty locked already for their own failures. If people start 20 bad threads the solution to stop it is simple, but this forum is a mess. I'm out.

[Chris Dmytrow]

That game is 100% due to the refs and it's pathetic. Our season is likely over now because of that s*** and it's awful.

You guys can blame the refs all you want...were there two bad back to back calls? Yes...could the colts have been in a better position that it wouldn't matter ? Yes. Did the colts play well enough to win? Offensively yes, defensively no. It's as simple as that...nick foles looked like Tom Brady and Peyton manning out there today. Did we even bump him at all during the game? Man the guy had all day out there and tons of protection for a makeshift O-line they outperformed our pass defense big time. That's why we lost the game not because of two extremely bad calls and rightfully so it's easy to be upset about that but I think I am going to choose to be more upset at our poor defense all around. Chuck pagano IMO hasn't had a decent reputation for defense since arriving in Indianapolis and neither has manusky

So you are saying it is the Colts responsibility to play against both the other team and the referees to win?  And if they don't play well enough to make up for bad calls then they deserve to lose?  Blame the victim?
