That Pittsburgh blocked kick was unbelievable.
What happened?
That cannot have been right.

It was if the Pittsburgh player did not have possession. Which I'm not sure he did. If he had possession I believe it's a penalty on pit but pit ball

I'm not so sure. With all the goofy "full possession of the ball" rulings that have gone on this year, it wasn't definitive

The way I saw it, Ryan Clark had the ball and lateraled it. Replay showed that he had the ball and was down before the lateral even took place. So the refs blew two calls and then with their ruling made the questionable parts of the play not even able to be reviewed.
"I wish I had more hands, so I could give those refs 4 thumbs down." /chapelle
But, thankfully the Green Bay play calling and execution was so atrocious that it didn't turn out that the blown calls affected the outcome of the game. it came damn close to doing so.

It was pretty definitive. I'd call a lateral a football move. And if you can review other "full possessions of the ball," why isn't this reviewable? What is the difference between possession after a catch or on a fumble?

The entire Pats Ravens game was an abortion to watch. At one point it seemed like there was a flag thrown on about 10 straight plays. I'm a Pats fan, but that PI call that led to the Pats first TD was absolutely horrible. That entire officiating team should be fired. One of the worst officiated games I've seen in years.

I noticed that NFL.com is not showing this as a game highlight. I wonder why? Could it be that it makes the official look bad? I found the highlight here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/22/george-iloka-interception-lucky_n_4490129.html#

Josh Gordon comes down with the football in the endzone then goes outta bounds, ball did seem to move, incomplete, you are Jason Campbell
Eric Decker comes down with the football in the endzone then goes outta bounds, ball seems to have moved, complete, TD, you are Peyton Manning.
Pass to Holmes at the 7 yard line or so, takes to steps backwards (I should add), crosses the goalline with the ball firmly in his hands, lands on the ground where the defender pulls the ball out, incomplete, you are Matt McGloin.

Because the whole thing was a sham of a mess of an embarrassment.
This may be the actual link...

But - Exactly.
Honestly some of these refs have been so reeducated by the league they have forgotten basic premises of football.

So true.....refs have no clue what a catch is.
The Pittsburgh call was awful. The guy was down and he had to have possession to lateral it.
The Arizona INT was iffy but I guess I can buy it.
The Patriot game was unwatchable....flag every play

The KC-IND game had one of those plays where the receiver caught the ball clean (no bobbling at all), puts the ball away, turns, takes two or three steps, then the defender comes in and strips it on the tackle. Clear recovery by the defense. On review, incomplete pass. The NFL is taking away great defensive plays with this garbage. It happens almost every game at least once.

Close but they eff that one up. It's on NFL.com
Supposedly there will be a new review technique next year where all reviews are by the same person at NFL offices. This will help the blind refs. The calls will be consistent. Probably still wrong but consistent.
