This type of bad call is prevalent in most Buc losses. Along with FG’s instead of TD’s inside the 5 yd line.

Line in vegas bucs +1.5 ref DO influence the game. First games of the year vegas was taking a beating with the scab refs… Makes you wonder how they set line hmmmm…. Also every time I watch GB play and they mention their SB win I get pissed off.

The call was holding/illegal contact, which happened before the throw. It doesn’t matter if the following throw was catchable.

worst infraction by secondary – bucs down by 1 ATL’s ball in the fourth and the CB gives up inside move on 3rd and 5 for an easy slant play = conversion. made me wanna puke.

BS call all there is to it. Welcome to the NRL the national referree league where the game is decided by the ones that call it. That was a huge call at that point and I can almost guarantee that if it were the bucs in that situation the whistles would have been dead silent.

Sensible:

Infraction was committed before Matty Ice threw the ball.

I didn’t think it was a call to be made, period.
It’s not the reason we lost, but it didn’t help.

Correct me if I’m wrong here but it doesnt matter if the ball is catchable on a holding call only on a PI

When Arthur Blank needs $300 million from Atlanta taxpayers for a new stadium, you better believe they’re gonna get the calls they need from the refs. Watch the Falcons the last 3 seasons. They get away with murder on the O-Line and get a lot of questionable calls. Black’s “hold” was a perfect example. Bucs would’ve never got that call on a 3rd down in the redzone.

The NFL rules are soooo biased for the offense and it makes it so hard to play defense. The NFL wants scores, so they make the rules to have scores. The Bucs need to do a better job at getting TD’s and not FG’s.

The game is on a severe donward spiral IMO. The defense is barely allowed to even play DEFENSE, and every good hit draws a penalty wether it was a clean hit or not. It’s truly turning into Madden Fantasy Football. I’ve come to despise the NFL and their greed. If they cared a rats rear end about the players health they wouldnt be playin on Thursday nights. It’s truly becoming hard to watch, and much easier NOT to watch.
