You guys can kiss rear end all you want, but the Cardinals got hosed just like the Seahawks.

Warner's arm did move forward, WITHOUT THE BALL!!! If you're such a hotshot official you of all people would know that. My guess is that you're some flunky college kid who's just sobering up.

Agreed about the arm. As much as I hated to admit it, it was a fumble. He waited too long to get rid of it. I was hoping it would be ruled incomplete, time put back on, and they'd get the 15 yards for the USC penalty for a better shot at the endzone. I really wanted Phoenix to win.

Helluva game, though.

That interpretation is called "Empty hands." Anyone that has done a college game or above should know that ruling. Then again, we are all not like zm1283. :)

He's also gone as far as to slam all football officials.

This is the same call Hochuli made & it was a fumble
 
I agree with the Officials in Super Bowl XLIII. They made the correct call on the play with Kurt Warner. It was a fumble!

Look @ this play on 6 Days to Sunday with Ed Hochuli.

This is the same kind of call Ed Hochuli made when Harrington was a QB for the Lions when they played the Cowboys a few years ago. This play is about 1 minute into the video.

You must have Real Player to view the video. This site will not allow me to post the video here, but you can go to NFL85.com & look under Pictures/Videos & go to the second page & about 3/4's of the way down click on 6 Days To Sunday Part 1.

Apparently two people here have an ally in Jason Whitlock, who wrote a Fox Sports column today discussing the terrible officiating. If a sportswriter says it, it must be true! :D

Amazing and sad that with everything going on in this game he uses most of his column to bash the officials. Not all that surprising, though.

Adam Mon Feb 02, 2009 05:33pm

I normally like Whitlock, too. Unfortunate.

Jason Whitlock is usually a dumbazz no matter what he is talking about. He went to HS with Jeff George and he thought he was the greatest QB ever. :rolleyes:

Always consider the source.

Yeah he is an idiot. Check out this quote from the article....."For the Cardinals, it was 11-on-17 for much of the evening." Either he doesn't know that there are 7 officials on the field or he thinks that 11+7=17.

And you wonder why athletes get a bad rap?

If you added fljet and zm1234's ages together, you wouldn't get 24.

Not reviewing the final play when Warner's arm was going forward was a complete joke. I thought they've always said that the booth just decides if they play is worthy of review and the Referee actually looks at it and reviews it.

You guys can kiss rear end all you want, but the Cardinals got hosed just like the Seahawks.

they also missed the group celebration according to one of the Sirius nfl shows

the roughing the passer play was defintiely IG, they showed a replay on Nfl network that confirmed.

Even the ESPN crew was complaining about calling a roughing the holder,

Hey since Peirerra is retiring Im sure the NFL could get this bulletin board to be its new CYA VP of officiating!!!

just about every website in the country wrote an article about the lopsided calls, Yahoo had it as their main news topic last night. You should know since you live in Portland and live most of your live indoors or wearing a rain coat.

You are honestly quoting or referencing media people? The same people that think there should not be a roughing the holder call and a player that got run over?

Dude, do you have a girlfriend yet?

Probably too busy watching NFL games, trolling officiating forums and playing World of Warcraft.
