re-watching the UNH game

[JayJ79]

I'm watching the tape of the TV broadcast of the game, to see what the commentators had to say about things, and to get different perspectives on some of the plays.

And I have to say....

How about Grace's fake handoff to Lewis on that first touchdown?
Fooled almost EVERYONE.
Pretty much all the defenders, half the camera people, the TV commentators, and maybe even Rima and Petey.

That was great.

That fooled me bigtime. When they showed the replay on the board it was worthless because they followed Lewis as well...haha.

T'was also funny seeing the punt smack right off the back of the helmet of the lineman/protector guy and bounce clear up into the old Hall-of-Fame room

Re: re-watching the UNH game

How did the officiating look when you wathced the game. From my spot in the dome it was just as bad as last week. Ruffin appeared to be held and had the sleeper hold put on him almost all game long. Usually in front of the head linesmen. Someof our defensive linemen seemed to get tackled when they were rushing. Also some of the ball placements seeemed kind of off. But hard to tell from the stands.

Re: re-watching the UNH game

Grace's fake had everyone where I was sitting fooled. We were all watching Lewis. He REALLY sold it.

The officiating...hmmmm....well, who of the 10,000 there didn't see the defensive offsides that would have led to a 1st and 10 or at least a 4th and very short for us? That guy didn't get THAT good of a jump!
The "H" official ~ I refuse to give him a Head anything title ~ was giving poor spots all night.
Was there even a holding call all night?

Maybe they were all CAA refs. There is nothing better this year than sticking it to those CAA teams. GO PANTHERS.

I was told the officiating crew was from the Southland conference. Too much spicy Cajun cooking?

They can kkep their officials as far as I am concerned.

Re: re-watching the UNH game

They were Big Sky refs, I believe. Besides several bad spots, I counted at least three times where they put the ball in the wrong spot following an incomplete pass and one of the refs had to move the ball to the correct spot before play began.

Southland Conference refs. I'd put money on it, even though I'm not a betting man.

I wish they would have ran that play - or something similar - at the end of the first half instead of putting the ball in the air.

hindsight is 20/20.
If they had tried to run it and gotten stopped, people would have whined that they should have gone play-action.

Actually I said they should do that in chat before the play even happened.

Re: re-watching the UNH game

I went to sleep before finishing watching the game tape last night, so I'm finishing up today.

So watching it on TV, I suppose some of the officials calls aren't QUITE as terrible as they appeared in person. The ball may not have broken the plane of the endzone on the plays where we got called down inside the one. And on that offsides no-call, the blitzer did manage to stop/slow himself up so that his feet might not have been into the neutral zone prior to the snap, even though his body certainly was.

However, that facemask penalty called on us on the UNH reverse should NOT have been called. Yes, the defender's hand brushed across the facemask. And it might have warranted a 5-yard incidental call last year. But they've done away with that penalty this year. And it certainly wasn't a 15-yard facemask. Not sure if that would have made much difference. But still.


And I must say that the new paint job of the midfield logo looked good.

I called the naked bootleg...which obviously didn't work! The fans around me told me NOT to call anymore plays!
Seems as if Pat forced that pass just a bit...with one time out left, if it wasn't there, a throw-away and a field goal would have been much better...but as everyone says...."hindsight!
