Exactly. And that's why I wish they wouldn't comment on a call being good or bad since they don't know the rule. The problem is they don't know that they don't know the rules. If we all think back to before we started officiating, we thought we knew the rules too but we really didn't. Many of us were fed the wrong information by announcers.

Honestly, this crew should have some pay docked. Bad calls both ways, but the worst were no calls, especially the center "head bob" on the game winning drive. Bu rule the center can move his head, but nothing like the PITT center did to simulate the snap with the sole purpose to draw the defense offsides. If you dont have the nuts to make the correct call with the game on the line, hang up your whistle.

It's that time of year again isn't it......with all the arm chair officials who know more about the game than the guys on the field.
