Horrible officiating! (NCAA)

The holding call was, as you said, a "judgement" call, and that judgement was by the official on the field at that moment. Not after the benefit of replays from 3 or 4 different angles.

The Hasselbeck penalty was a missed call, IMO. But all it did was give Pittsburgh 15 extra yards, it did not cancel a score or change possession of the ball. But I have seen that call made plenty of times. To say it's never called is a complete statement of bulls**t and shows maybe you haven't watched as much football as you claim you have.


But you go beyond those comments, you call NFL officials imcompetent b/c they make calls you don't agree with.
