Bad call in AFC Championship Game

Well, the humble NFL has admitted that a bad call was made during the AFC Championship Game.

via ProFootballTalk:

"Face-guarding was discontinued several years ago and I completely missed it. I talked to Dean Blandino in the league office and he confirmed what you're saying. Blandino, by the way, was in the replay booth at the Patriots-Colts game. Ellis Hobbs should not have been flagged for pass-interference. He didn't make contact with the receiver and in no way did Hobbs impede Reggie Wayne's ability to catch the pass. Blandino confirmed that the incorrect call was made. It advanced the ball from the Patriots' 19-yard line to the one-yard line and was the big play in a touchdown drive that led to a two-point conversion and a tie game at 21-21. Referee Bill Carollo made no reference to face-guarding in his explanation, but CBS analyst Phil Simms did. Apparently, he, too, doesn't know the rule no longer exists. The next time you hear a TV analyst say, 'he wasn’t playing the ball,' think of the Hobbs play, then turn down the sound."
Make no mistake about it, it was a key call. And, to their credit, we haven't heard a public peep from the "no class" Pats about the play.
Gee, what would Napolian have done if that phantom flag had been thrown on a member of the Colts' defense?"


Truth be told, even though this was in fact a very poor call, the Colts made the plays when it mattered most and the Pats, my friends, did not.

Yes the Colts won anyways. But regardless, you have to expect that the NFL refs that are considered the best, because they are doing playoff games, know the actual rules of the NFL. It really is inexcusable. You aren't seeing the Pats complaining though, because they aren't low class, no matter what LT says.

I thought that was a crap call when I saw it the first time.

Thanks for verifying it.

I guess you can't complain that much about the officiating in the Super Bowl. Much better than the debacle last year.

Hah hah, yeah mini me. There were no complaints regarding officiating during the super bowl because nothing happened. That game needed a few blown calls to at least spice it up a little. The actual game play left little to talk about.

Yeah, mini me - much better than last year. Good thing about last year is that we can still bust on the Steelers fans we know. Overall though - good game by head official Tony Corrente and the rest of his "awful" crew. Although - as "-b" mention - the game could have used a little more spice. I actually spent more time watching the Halo 2 tournament going on in the same room.
