>>>Hopefully, when these teams meet in the NFC championship they'll have a veteran officiating crew. What I witnessed was just awful. The crew last night was run by rookie official John Parry and it showed:
>>>
>>>-Misinterpretation of an interception as a catch
>>
>>That was a weird one. They ruled that the ref. whistle the play dead before the CB took away the ball.
>>
>>>-Missed a running into the kicker
>>
>>He barely touch McBriar. Not much of a foul
>>
>Hence "running into" and not "roughing".
>
>>>-Didn't flag TO for using popcorn as a prop during TD celebration
>>
>>Oh. let him have his fun.
>>
>
>Are we applying the rules or not?


I thnk that rule only applies to NFL property like the ball and the goal post. Is a cup of popcorn NFL property?


>>>-Horrible pass interference call
>>
>>It was the correct call. The guy was giveing Miles Austin a shoulder massage starting from the 20 yard line then he trips him up.
>
>It was a close judgement call and the referee closest to the play did not throw the flag. Only after a discussion did Parry throw the flag. Terrible.

The first ref. probably didn't see the CB's right arm when he was hooking him around Miles Austins bicep.
