Comments on: Week 9 “Official Review”: Follow the bouncing ball, spiking out of bounds http://www.footballzebras.com/2009/11/11/590 A look at the NFL's officials and the calls they make Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:14:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ron http://www.footballzebras.com/2009/11/11/590/comment-page-1#comment-1707 Ron Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:31:57 +0000 http://www.footballzebras.com/?p=590#comment-1707 In the complex replay reversal near the end of the Colts vs. Texans game, how convenient is it for the refs to ignore that #41 touched the ball while out of bounds, before the other Colt player jumped back in to touch the ball for a touchback. Reversing the original call and then on top of that, actually ignoring that #41 touched the ball in Pereira's explanation all show me that these refs will give the popular teams the calls and then try to explain away their favoritism by focusing on whatever it takes to mask their bias or blunder. • Thumb up 0 Thumb down 0
