Did we get lucky not to be called for PI?

Not to be a debbie downer, but during the Cardinals last play it looked like Fletch ran into the Cards back in the flats. he clearly hit him before the ball got in the area, and being at the game I remember the crowd got really silent then.

Check out the video and let me know, it happens at 2:40

You can't really say lucky with the terrible job the NFL officials have been doing this year. Seems like every team has been equally affected with maybe the exception of the Chargers.

hooskins · 09-22-2008, 11:03 PM

Fair enough, but do you think it was PI?

GMScud · 09-22-2008, 11:07 PM

Wow, yeah I didn't catch that before. Contact looked awfully early. I also think Leigh Torrence was lucky not to get a PI on the ball that hit him in the head and landed in Carlos' hands. Oh, and that delay of game called on Arizona with 1 second on the playclock that negated a TD...

whew... I guess we can't whine about officiating for a while.

Really? I felt it was was a good play, dont think he touched the WR, but I will go back and look at it.

But as for the play I posted, yeah I felt we really lucked out because if called the Cards get a first down and continue driving down the field.

Torrence definitely made some early contact, but nothing egregious. It could have been flagged for sure though.

I think this was a good no call. The ball was clearly under thrown and the defender has as much rite to the ball as the receiver. No PI

I really have to disagree with you about both of these calls. I was sitting in the endzone that the Cards were headed towards on both of these plays and I feel like I had a pretty good angle.

I always pay way too much attention to the game clock when I'm at the games. From where I was sitting I could see the play clock just over the line of scrimmage and on the particular play that the refs flagged I was actually counting down the last 5 seconds out loud to my buddies. The ref blew the whistle right when the clock hit :00 as he should have. The Redskins pretty much all stopped when the whistle blew and thats why the guy from the cards could just walk into the endzone like he did.

As for the non-PI call on the Rogers INT I really thought that Torrence started to look back but the WR was already right behind him jumping for the ball so Torrence just sort of hopped up and poked it out. The other thing is that the play happened so far down field that if a ref had decided to throw a flag it would have only been because he was guessing that there was probably illegal contact. It was a good no call, IMO (as biased as I am).

Jesus who do you root for the Cards? We have plenty to whine about, We got jerkedoff on a terrible pi call that led to the giants only td, And how about Aaron glenn throwing Moss down by his head. And it goes on and on and on.

Not PI. The ball was terribly overthrown, they're not supposed to call pass interference if its a terrible ball

Really? Go back and look at it. The reason it looked overthrown was because Fletch knocked him over before it got there. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad there was no flag, but I think there should have been.

It was within the first five yards of the line of scrimmage if that makes a difference. I think it does, but that was a heck of a hit.

It makes a difference as far as contact is concerned, but I think it just means you can jam a guy, not flat out deck a dude to the ground when the ball is on the way. I wish I had a copy of the rule book.
