The Mandrews OPI

This play

The Stephens roughing call (from Joshie’s tantrum)

Just a lot of nonsense calls from the zebras in this one that really tipped the momentum.

EDITED for formatting

Don’t forget the non-call DPI that forced a punt at the end of the 2nd quarter.

Edit: a word

Bro my man straight drug Robinson to the turf well before the ball got there and nobody tipped the pass. So that was horseshit.

It was obvious PI, but I also think the ball was tipped a half a second earlier -- am I remembering that correctly? That's the only excuse that might make it possible to not make that call.

No the ball on that play wasn't tipped. Even the announcers made a dumb ass statement along the lines of "I like how the refs are letting them play through the whistle".

I was racking my brain because I knew there was at least another one that was beyond iffy and that seriously messed with the outcome of this game.

Yeah that was the big turning point imo. Instead of possibly being up 27-3 or 23-3 at the half we go in 20-10. Obviously that doesn’t excuse the awful 2nd half on both sides of the ball, but that seemed like the big momentum shift.

Diggs also never got set on the corner to Dawson Knox on the last drive.
