Watch Thursday night football and Refs are terrible

[luke nukem]

wow and the refs take away the catch of the year.

[Dex]

That catch was fuging disgusting.

[LinvilleGorge]

Surprise they didn't cook up some kind of penalty that one.

Smart of the Dolphins to have someone other than Osweiler throw the ball.

[outlaw4]

Looks like we're not the only ones on the wrong side of that type of play.

[luke nukem]

yeah fug that play, just takes the safety to not bite for it to be countered.

[LinvilleGorge]

There has been some absolutely crazy poo happen in this game. That being at the top of the list.

I thought I missed something when I heard that? So every swing pass that is behind the RB is now incomplete? 

Or every intentional grounding? Well ref, I was throwing to the guy on the other side of the field. Disregard where the ball actually went.

Honestly, all they really needed to say was that Osweiler's arm was moving forward in what appeared to be a throwing motion so by rule it is an Incomplete pass. Yeah, it looked like he saw the defender at the last second and tried to tuck the ball, but there's no way to read the guy's mind.

It went backwards. A backwards pass a lateral. Should have been a fumble. I don't care where he intended to throw it. He threw it backwards.

All fairness I also wonder why that wouldn't be a lateral either if it never really moved forward imo. If you throw behind isn't it still considered a lateral?

Yup. One of the worst calls I've ever seen. A backwards pass is a lateral.

They can't have been worse than the refs in the App State/Georgia Southern game

[outlaw4]

There might be more deep shots in this game alone than we've taken all year.

It doesn't matter where the ball goes. It's completely irrelevant. If the refs judge that the QB was attempting to make a pass and in control off the ball with his arm moving forward at the time of contact, then by rule it is an incomplete pass. To call that a fun le they would've had to have made the huge assumption that Osweiler had abandoned his attempt at a pass. I don't want refs making those types of huge assumptions.

Happy for Watson and Hopkins. You could tell they were all in tonight.

Osweiller backwards pass to Amendola who then throws across the field to Drake for the TD.

Speaking of refs, who will be the refs for our game against Ravens.
