Yes I'm going to be that guy that blames the refs:

1) the targeting call. Bullsht. If you don't throw the flag no one cares. Don't insert yourself into the game when the intent of the type of hit is clear.

2) the drive up 21-0. We don't get any holding calls suddenly and no review of the dropped pass.

3) roughing the kicker. Our kicker picked up the ball and tried to kick it. His kicking leg was mutilated by a player who did not block the punt.

4) no ineligible man down field on UNC on tunnel screens that clearly took too long to develop. Several times UNC has O Line 7 yards downfield when the catch is made.

5) mouthing, "wow" while shaking your head when GT gets a first down on 4th and 5 BC the ball can't be spotted sideways.

6) (UNSURE OF THIS ONE) I initially thought that one pass by Williams late in the game was backwards and Simmons knocked it out of the air. Shouldn't we have gotten the ball since we made an immediate recovery, or is a batted lateral that goes forward a forward pass???

öööö the refs in the asshole. Took this game and handed it to UNC and we obliged instead of taking it back.

I guess, but basically saying "don't make the call because no one will care if you don't" is kind of sour grapes. They made the correct call based on the rule. It wasn't even really borderline. I agree the intent was not to hurt, but it was pretty clearly a penalty under the rule, which (presumably purposefully) doesn't consider intent.

Rule 9-1-4-a-5-b: The kicker’s protection under this rule ends when he carries the ball outside the tackle box before kicking.

Ineligible man downfield doesn't apply on screen passes.

huh? Are you referring to the Skov 4th down conversion? I thought we got a generous spot on that.
 
I'm misnaming the tunnel screen.

I'm talking about the play where they throw it about 2-3 yards over the line of scrimmage but try to time their blocks for after the catch is made.

Spread teams get away with this bullshit all the öööö time.

Our punter was in the hashes.

The pass went backwards or lateral (or at least worth another look) and Simmons tipped it forward.

Yes I am because you spot the center of the ball and then point it forward and that's what the linesman did.

I don't think it was targeting. Didnt lead with the crown of his helmet and he wasn't "defenseless".
 
I think Gotsis deserved a 15 yard penalty, but his hit did not call for an ejection, because there was no malicious intent on his part. He didn't have control of his body, and he's responsible of the consequences of that. Unfortunately, the refs had no choice according the rules, so it is what it is. The rule should be changed, but it was called correctly as is.

Quarterbacks throwing from the pocket are, by rule, defenseless, and any helmet-to-helmet contact on a defenseless player is, by rule, targeting.

Basically the name of the rule is stupid, like most of the rule itself.
 
The targeting rule is basically a bull crap rule but the call was technically correct. The refs were unable to control or "manage" the game effectively so they made the rule.

If that's true it's pretty ööööing stupid. Williams watched Gotsis come and tackle him. Saw it coming the whole way. Plenty of time to react.
 
It is the ACC - the wussiest conference with the worst refs.

We have known this for 25 years. WTF is anyone crying about it?

You build a ööööing program to compensate for it so you don't lose (in the case of both conference losses this year) to nothing teams 2iar.

When the hell did puke or unc last win a major bowl game?

Build your program up to beat ugag 50/50, not dumb it down to compete in the azzwipe ACC coastal.
 
I would agree there was helmet to helmet contact. But, Gotsis went straight up the middle and hit him without leading with the headgear. The QB just stayed in the pocket and faced up with Adam, thus the helmet to helmet. I think you march off the fifteen but do not eject. Gotsis did not target the player.

When should we fire Paul Johnson and who better accomplished your goal of 50/50 with UGA?

I thought he was in the tackle box myself. Wonder if the refs just assume a rugby style punt is going to be outside the tackles. Or is the rule different if the ball hits the ground?

Refs did not cost us this game, we aren't a very good team. We have a ton on injuries and inadequate back-ups. We lost some key people to graduation and yesterday we didn't play defense either. Team has tons of issues.
 
Stop whining about the Refs. Jebus, y'all sound worst than a bunch of Texas fans after that Okie State game.
