Looks like a held ball to me. The official has a better angle, but I would likely call a held ball and be slightly wrong on some contact when the ball was played the way it was.

Peace

Agreed.

How about the "maybe more"...the 'bow flashed by #35?

Certainly a talk to and maybe something if this was a contentious game of some kind. But it looked like no one reacted to the situation and probably would have had nothing as well. But I do not think anyone saw it and it did not appear to be addressed.

Peace

I've got a held ball...the after action stuff would be a talk to...assuming nothing else in the game had occurred.

Correct. There weren't any issues in the game up to that point.

Held ball. The lead had a poor angle on this play...he was looking through bodies instead of between them. If it were 3-person, the trial would have had the best look.

Thanks JetMetFan
for all the clips. I realize that there are many plays that take place during a game, but from my point of view the crew on this game had quite a few incorrect calls.

Just saying that, from my ivory tower, the crew was not on the same page

I have no problem with the foul as B1's elbow contacted A1's head. I have a problem with the weak "I wish I had that back" mechanics/posture after the whistle.

No problem. I'm not posting all these to jump on this or any other crew. My feeling is we all learn from everyone else...which explains my signature on the forum
