NFL referee graded down after blown call in Denver

Quote:

NEW YORK (AP) — Ed Hochuli's acknowledgement that he erred on a call late in Sunday's San Diego-Denver game will mean lower grades for one of the NFL's highest profile referees. "Officials are held accountable for their calls. They are graded on every play of every game," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday. "Ed has been an outstanding official for many years, but he will be marked down for this call. Under our evaluation system, an official's grades impact his status for potentially working the playoffs and ultimately whether or not he is retained." The play occurred with the Broncos at the Chargers 1-yard-line in the final minute. Denver quarterback Jay Cutler dropped back to pass, the ball slipped out of his hands, bounced off the grass and into the arms of San Diego linebacker Tim Dobbins. Hochuli ruled it an incomplete pass. Replay ruled it a fumble, but it was spotted at the 10-yard line, where the ball hit the ground, and given to Denver because the rules did not permit possession to be awarded to San Diego because the whistle had blown. Denver went on to score, convert a 2-point conversion and win 39-38.

As long as my Ravens keep winning...all is good in the land:smug:

Same for my birds:D

I'm surprised KP hasn't been here recently:cool: .

Speaking of fantasy football... as of the third quarter last night, I was down by 6 points and my last guy hadn't touched the football. I cursed fav-ray fr sabotaging my first win. But when I can home from the store, he had caught a touchdown!

Fav-ray!!!!:oops: :rotfl: :lol:

Yeah saw that, Fav-ray aims to please :)

What's the deal with Favre? He seems to get "injured" in big games where his team is getting beat. Didn't he do that in the big Cowboys-Packers game last year?

Dunno :hmm: Maybe his " legend " status is catching up ( and has been for a time ) with his ability to play the game the way he once could. Thus we see stuff like you mentioned.

Still hard to knock the guy though, with his consecutive games streak and still playing the game at a relatively high level at his age.

A record in progress for Bret Favre:

Well am finally back from tour and i turn up in a house with no feckin sky tv!!:damn::damn:
So i have to wait a few weeks to final watch my first game of the season. ( i doubt a few minutes of the 4th Q of the Cowboys, Eagles game counts.)

I have watched in dismay from the desert as my team the Pats first lose the mighty Brady for the season then scrape by the Chiefs. Then 2 weeks later lose to Miami?:doh::doh:

After catching up with a little news since i have been back in the land of the living it seems that we are stuck with backup Matt for the season.

So how do the other guys that frequent this thread rate the Pats chances of making it to the Playoffs with out Brady?

Also if he is about how does August rate this years Pats as he is the only other Pats fan i know on this forum?

Other than that it is great to be back and i look forward to a great season of NFL. That is when i eventually get my hands on sky tv.
