Officials have too much control

Pass interference should be reviewable. Haden just got robbed

complete BS

Agreed. Thats the problem with this sport. Too many judgement calls. And they try to create even more every Spring with their competition meetings.

So why should that not have been PI?

a) Haden barely touched him
b) The ball was way over his head
c) Both a & b

My answer is c.

C..........

I think the uncatchable ball rule has been taken out of the game. I haven't seen a PI called off because a ball was uncatchable in two years. The WR would have had to have been 10 feet tall to even sniff touching that pass. I saw the flag and thought, they'll wave it off because it was uncatchable, but, sadly they did not.

Officiating is ruining the sport. The Haden PI call is one of the very worst I've seen in close to 40 years of watching football.

Exactly why PI should be a 15 yarder and anything shorter a spot foul.

We just need better refs. That idiot that called PI could hardly wait to throw that flag. I don't think some of them understand what they are doing.

Or maybe they know exactly what they're doing. A considerable cash payoff on the side can have a lot of appeal to some people.

True. I just consider that highly unlikely. Conspiracies of that size are hard to keep quiet, and the criminal and civil penalties are enormous, which would be a deterrent the opposite way.

And it seems to be worse even with all the technology and ability to review from many angles. Cannot take the human element out of the game when it comes to judgement by the refs in interpreting what they see during the play or in review.

I think this is true based on how they call the game. It wasn't catchall for Haden and he was a hard out two deeper in the end zone

A terrible call, but it wasnt as bad as the false start they missed that cost us a game too
