The last time this guy Ref a playoff game was in 2006. Why is this inexperience Head referee reffing a divisional playoff game and not Mike Carrey or Ed Hocuhli. The NFL and Vegas needed a great game, and Trindon Holliday was about to make this game a blow out so the Refs had to intervene.
Early in the game, Tony Carter gets call for a PI even though he was clearly playing the ball. The CBS announcers were baffled. Instead of Baltimore punting and giving Denver good field position, they a get huge 30 Yard penalty and Torrey Smith ends up beating Champ Bailey to tie the games two plays later. Result 7 Points Ravens
In the 1st quarter Eric Decker was mugged, which resulted in a tip pass and pick six. Denver should of had a first down on a clear PI. Result 7 points Ravens
In the 1st quarter Demaryius Thomas clearly got tripped by Cary Williams on a deep route when Williams stuck out his leg on what would of been a sure 50 yard TD. Ref called nothing. Lucky for the Broncos they still managed to tie the game at 14-14 several plays later.
This call was probably the most crucial play of them all. Late in the 3rd quarter Jacob Hester converts a 3rd and 1 into the Ravens 40 with the Broncos up 28-21. Instead of getting a 1st down they get a flag for holding well after the play was over. Watching it on DVR that play was 50/50 on slo mo, and you couldn't even tell when watching it in full speed. Instead of a 1st down down, Peyton drops back on 3rd and 11, and turns it over. During the challenge, CBS announcers clearly see an incomplete pass or the tuck rule at worst and the call should be reversed. With the ball on the Broncos 40, the Ravens scores a TD several plays later. Result 7 points Ravens.
Three different blown opportunities by the Officials allowed the Ravens to hang around which resulted in 21 point. The Officials did their best to prevent Denver from getting 14 point cushion early all day, hence covering the -9 point spread. The 4th quarter was when they kind of just let both teams play and called nothing because the game was finally tied again.
I'm expecting something fishy sh1t to happen in the Texan game favoring New England.
