Horrible Calls

[WorldWideBalla21]

WE got one call the entire game, when Gonzalez (Ithink) never had possesion of the ball and it was ruled a complete pass. Other than that they got basically every call.

That is true.  It amounted to about a 10 yard gain with only 10 or 11 seconds on the clock before halftime, and the very next play had to be a Hail Mary anyway.  It ended up making no difference at all.

Oh, and what about that Auburn drive in the first half where they went for it on 4th down, got stopped, and then flags came out as delay of game.  Then there was a long discussion and Auburn got to replay that down with no penalty because the officials started the clock at the wrong time or something.  I didn't catch all the details on that.  The people I was watching the game with were too noisy to hear the announcers.  Someone care to fill me in?

Yeah wtf was up w/ that.

Jordy getting flagged for illegal hands to the face after converting on 3rd and 17 bailed them out.


Roughing the kicker, while a bad call, was STUPID on our part for even getting near hte guy. JUST LET HIM PUNT! Take the BALL! Why go for a block?

A block would have locked the game up. Getting the ball on our own 25 wouldn't have. If A. Moore is just a little closer then the game is completely over. That penalty didn't really hurt us that much.

None of the calls really cost us anything though when you think about it.  They get a first down on roughing the kicker but then go 3 and out and punt it anyways.  Their scoring drive came on Alesana costing us a chance at a short third down conversion by jumping off sides for the 24th time.  We were inches away on their drive from recovering a fumble, and inches away from Moore jumping in front of the post pattern and housing it on the big pass play down to the 5. 

The only call that I think I think might have cost us was the Auburn CB grabbing Jordy's arm in the endzone the first drive before the ball got there.  That could have been PI and a first and goal at the one.

Jordy's offensive facemask was on a converted 3rd and long.  I don't believe we converted the replay.  Who knows what comes of that drive?

Interception happened after it, Jeffy. We would have probably gotten a field goal out of it. But there's nothing we can do now. It wasn't all penalties that lost us the game. They shouldn't have been able to drive down on us in the end.

Anytime you dive into a punter's planted leg just after he kicks the ball, you're going to get called for roughing.

Quit whining.   

[catzacker]

Seriously, go back and look at it...Moore was at the punters' feet, the punter landed his leg on the ground and then just fell on top of Moore.  Go whine about Crouch's face mask and some game against Penn State 20 years ago.

That penalty didn't really hurt us that much.

Yes, it did. Total field position game. A free fifteen yards for AU. Also, put our D out on the field yet again instead of letting them rest of the sideline.

They went three and out on the next series. A block would have been MUCH more beneficial. Fifteen yards wouldn't have helped us for sh*t at the end of that game.

Coming out of a TV time out, they put 15 seconds on the clock, which is what they did. The problem was it was a called time out by Auburn, so there should have been 25 seconds.

Then it seems like they should have disregarded the DOG flag that was thrown and let the play stand in which their RB was dropped in the backfield for a loss and would have been a change of possession.  Instead, they get to replay the down, make the first down on that try, and I think they wound up with a field goal at the end of the drive.

Delay of game is a dead ball fall.....therefore they blew the whistle and there was no play.

5) Not, at a minimum, putting a RB on the side of A2 to help him out
6) forgetting to go to the Jordy drag route that still hasn't been stopped
7) not having Josh Moore's tutor do his homework for him (I f 'ing hate you Justin McKinney)

that game was a kick in the stomach.

[ECN]

the stomach? i WISH it was the stomach.

it was more like a kick in the NUTS, after they had been sliced open and doused in salt.
