Your post really confused me... please change back to your old name!

These games with these officials are painful to watch. Too much on which to elaborate just....ouch!

Wow.

The only possible foul #24 could have commited would be a hold during the route after the ball was in the air, but there's no evidence of that in the clip. And even if that were true, it didn't alter the receiver's route or keep him from getting to the ball.

Double wow.

There was a DPI call in Monday night's game that was just as bad. Hard to know what these guys think they're seeing.

Agree. I suspect that they're not adjusted to the speed of the game and resort to guessing when a pass is incomplete.

I think it has more to do with not properly watching their keys or holding them long enough.

I think you're both right. I've seen blatant examples of both. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a play end, and then look for the official, and waiting 3-5 seconds before he even gets into camera view, much less marks his spot.

Last night was a mess. Flabbergasted that the NFL continues this way.

You can see from B32's reaction that he was genuinely surprised by the flag — compared to the "shocked! shocked!" reaction that guilty parties often display.

IMO, the announcers are quite generous here.
