where were these fucks from?

The majority of those were very obvious calls. Just a terribly undisciplined badly coached team.
One thing that was infuriating was that our DLine was clearly coached to just hold up with their man and "wait" for Mateer to scramble.
As a result there were no fucking holding calls against WSU even with their small OL.
I do think that calling a PI and everything else they called while Mateer is just scrambling/struggling like a gazelle getting caught by hyenas was bullshit. The play is over, he's sacked. Who gives a fuck about anything else going on unless it's done after the play shit.
Generally agree but still horrible. intentional grounding was not obvious, debating the pick overturn for 5 minutes was not obvious, the encroachment on 3rd and 16 before the final drive wtf
the intentional grounding was clear as day. The “pick” obviously hit the ground and aided the “catch.”
Wefs weren't good and the face masks I almost frequently just feel like bad luck. Always have horrible flashbacks to Vita getting that huge sack against Stanford in 2017 but getting a completely accidental face mask. The Wefs did blow not giving UW a late hit really early. I don't know if it's coaching or instinct but the defense needed to find ways to sell holding more. It's really fucking hard to have scrambles like the ones Mateer does and not get 2-3 holding calls usually but I'll give the wefs the credit for not calling them on UW's OL.
The int I thought just should have been whatever was called on the field it was so close.
but still. Where were these fucks from? Big Sky?
I agree with this, but struggle to see how there was indisputable evidence that the call needed to be reversed. The ball isn’t moving on the replay. Seems like one of those plays where whatever was called on the field should have stood simply because you can’t prove otherwise.
The ball wasn't moving because it was directly between his hand and the ground. His other hand was not involved. It CLEARLY was a trap against the ground. Only annoying thing about it was that it took longer than 20 seconds to see that.
I only saw two really bad calls: I thought Mateer got away with grounding once, and Esteen baffling got away with a clear hit out of bounds on a kick return. Oh, and the crackback block that injured one of the Huskies was called but could have been called targeting for head to head.
If you don't want to cost your team 15, don't grab a facemask. It's that simple. None of those facemasks even helped in making the play, either, which makes it doubly sad.
the refs should not be a topic of discussion.
Superior talent.
out coached.
undisciplined.
Fucking losers.
It didn’t matter. If UW doesn’t break the rules, the refs keep their laundry in their pants
Complaining about the refs is soft baby shit, especially when the refs missed a number of egregious penalties that should've gone against us.
Esteen hit a WSU player 3 yards out of bounds and didn't get flagged
I disagree with you on the INT but simply because I didn’t think there’s was enough to overturn the call on the field. The face masks were dumb because as you mention, they didn’t help make the play.
The worst thing about the penalties is I read on Twatter that every WSU TD drive had UW penalties. I only remember the final drive having a penalty where the D got a stop and the penalty had nothing to do with the stop (defensive holding on Shaw). That stupid penalty (stupid on Shaw’s part, not the ref) was a kick in the nuts. WSU scored 3-4 plays later and that was the difference in the game.
Rule #1 - It's always the wefs.
Rule #2-245 - It's the wefs.
Its super low analysis to just say your can't blame the refs. Could uw have won regardless? Sure.gif. The point is that Georgia would have lost to the cats yesterday as well if they had the 3-5 brutal calls for 65 yards that UW did.
Being a negadoog is literally the same as being a doog it's not like you are smarter for being an unrealistic pessimist
no, they would never in a million years lose to the cougs with 3-5 “brutal” calls.
They could spot them 40 and they’d come back and curb stomp them.
They beat Kentucky 13-12 (yep) and are ranked #2 in the nation. Hth
I do recall us? squeaking out every fucking game last year and still winning them all… except the last one. Does that mean last years dwags finished second? But by this logic style points matter…
Great example. If we had 5 atrocious calls against wazzu, beav or asu last year they probably lose. This tells us refs can absolutely blow things up and to say otherwise is just being intentionally obtuse
But is it the refs’ fault when the penalties were real?
