    The officials spot on that play was utterly ridiculous. They gave him a full yard. That doesn’t just happen by mistake. That was with out a doubt intentional. Would love to know why.

    The ball didn't even get to the 10yd line. I've watched it over and over.

    The spot was terrible, but what you’re suggesting is ridiculous. It really didn’t matter where it was spotted. Replay was going to sort it out.

    Yeah. Saw that. Even the measurement was screwed up. They did not stretch the chain right next to the ball, which would make it even longer by a tiny bit. Does not matter in the end, but shows how inept refs in the NFL are.

    Yes, you could see this in real time. Watching it over and over just confirmed that the ball never made it to the ten yard line.. Usually on a line to gain review, they remark the ball and remeasure. The replay booth did not want to embarrass the officials by doing that.

    So let me get this straight. They intentionally spotted it incorrectly just so they would to overturn their own spot after replay?

    Your tinfoil hat is too tight

    The officiating once again throughout the game was terrible. That spot was a joke and just the cherry on top.

    Are you saying they would have to be intentionally incompetent?

    Maybe the worst spot I can remember. Every angle showed the ball never got close to the ten yard line. Might have been a full ball short of the ten and they spot the ball with the back of the ball touching the ten. It looked like it should of been a full ball short of the ten and they were 2 ft short, instead they give a ridiculous spot and they are stopped 2 inches short .
    Not only did Haden stop him in his tracks he tackled him and wrapped him up with the ball tight to his body. I wish they would of used the replay to correct the spot and show those officials how wrong they were.

    Straight up bullsh!t. Today was the Joe show. Joe Haden's tackle on 4th down to end it and Joe Scho's INT. F@#%ing officiating was some of the worst I've ever seen.

    It's so bad every week that you would expect some improvements but each and every week it seems to get worse. That spot was probably the worst one I've seen yet. I mean it wasn't even close and yet the ref mismarks the ball as if he's trying to influence the outcome. That should be the very last game that he works this year. It was that bad.

    They did after the measurement the ref made an announcement that the player failed to make the needed yardage

    They were clearly drunk and/or high.

    So, everyone is bitching about the 4th down spot that was short, because it was too close—- but still short???

    I have never seen a fan base ***** more after wins than Yinzer Nation

    We should just be happy no matter what.

    Reminds me of when I went to a restaurant one time and ordered a patty melt and fries. When the waitress gave it to me I said you forgot the caramelized onions and she said she doesn't like caramelized onions on her patty melts and then walked away. I left her a 1 penny tip on a dinner for 2.

    Poor officiating is worth noting even if it doesn't cost your team a game. Take Watt's sack as another example. He was being held by two guys and there was no call. Then he split them and got the sack anyway. He got up talking to the officials and he was right to do so.

    To be fair that spot by the officials was pretty bad. Good thing they have replay.

    I don’t know if Haden will want a big pay day or just to play a couple more years. If it’s the later then sign him immediately

    I don’t believe that was reviewed, the spot was short and was not adjusted by replay.
