Any statments of the officiating Sunday?

It was not the correct call. If he did not bat the ball intentionally, and I don't think he did, he should not have been flagged.
 
I know Mike Pereira has a twitter account and responds to fans about bad calls. Even I don't agree, he at least explains his opinion well. Anyone know if he had any comments about the calls in the game?

He brought his hand back into his body as if attempting a scoop in recover. Get this: they have to TOUCH the ball to recover a fumble. Eyes, use them.

he pushed the ball forward, it couldn't be more obvious. Tough break but the correct call.

I don't think you can say for sure that it was the correct call. It was a judgment call. In my judgment he was just diving for the ball and trying to get a hand on it any way possible. In your judgment and the ref's judgment he was batting it forward. I think it was a bad call, but I know it is not some conspiracy, just someone's judgment differing from mine.
 
He was trying to grab the ball, definitely not trying to push it forward.
That's what makes this call so frustrating...it's not black & white.
People have different opinions on it, so how to you make an unbiased call?

Especially if Godell signs your paycheck and Kraft just gave Godell a nice paycheck.
Hard to be unbiased there! LOL
 
My question to fellow fans of football:
If it was our QB who was strip sacked and a NE DE did the same thing, would that batting penalty have been called? I think most if not all of you would agree they would have let that play out. Which to me, says it should have been a no call

It sure looked intentional.

Watch again. If it was intentional, his arm wouldn't have immediately come back to his body.

I'm not sure if anyone else listens to Ross Tucker's Podcast, but he played for the Patriots for a bit. He said the call was total BS, and is only ever supposed to be called when it's clearly intentional. He didn't address the PI penalties, because he hadn't had time to watch the game yet.

I believe he mentioned the DPI on Wilson at least. He said something to the effect of "not sure what the officials saw there"

Yes it would have been the same call. There is no conspiracy.
 
IMO the "league" has the Krafties slated to win the division, but designated the jest, due to the market they play in and the demographic interest towards their rookie QB as a team to make it interesting along the way before they either put the hammer down on them or let them if at all possible get into the playoffs before they do as an interesting, media attention-garnering story that resonates with viewers and attracts advertisers. Very little I've seen over the years, especially with Goodell in power convinces otherwise about the league having a script and giving its refs "guidelines" on which side the calls should fall in on - unless it's too egregious, but even then, some of the bozo refs like Sunday's can't help but be too transparent when executing their marching orders. In that game 1 vs the Bucs, technically they made the right call, but if you think it was the fins, instead of the jest who would have been the beneficiary, hell, I've got a shiny bridge in Brooklyn I can let you have cheap.

Talking about momentum-shifting games:
Officials missed field-goal push call in Ravens-Dolphins game
Posted by Mike Florio on October 22, 2013, 10:32 AM EDT
Ravens AP

Given Sunday’s game between the Patriots and the Jets, everybody knows about Rule 9, Article 1, Section 3(2)(b) of the rulebook.

Before that, not many people did. Including game officials, apparently.

As explained by Albert Breer of NFL Network, the Ravens violated the rule against pushing players on the line of scrimmage in field-goal formation during a late 57-yard try from the Dolphins. The kick, if successful, would have tied the game. The kick, if it had come 15 yards closer after the flag that wasn’t thrown, may have been good.

Per Breer, the Dolphins gave the tape to the NFL, and the league conceded (privately) that the call was missed.

A review of the coaches film available via the NFL’s Game Rewind service conducted by PFT (that sounds so official) shows that Chris Canty was lined up between, but slightly behind, Arthur Jones and Haloti Ngata. After the snap, Canty got behind Jones and pushed.

The temptation to skirt the rule surely increases on longer field-goal attempts, when the trajectory of the kick necessarily is lower. In those situations, a strong push could result in a blocked kick.

The league thereafter decided to make the rule a point of emphasis, prompting V.P. of officiating Dean Blandino to send out a video explaining that game officials would be watching for future violations.

While some Patriots fans may point to the failure to flag the Ravens as further proof of a ****eyed conspiracy against the franchise that parlayed the tuck rule into its first Super Bowl win, the broader point is that the enforcement of the rule was, before Sunday, a work in progress. The Patriots either didn’t understand the rule or deliberately rolled the dice on the 56-yard attempt from Nick Folk, hoping the flag wouldn’t be thrown.

Either way, no one can claim ignorance of the rule going forward.
