Figures. They didn't call it on Robertson earlier, but they call it there. Losing football.

If this call sticks it's the worst fricking call in a loooong time.

If they do not overturn this ... basically cheated for the win. That was horrible especially given the lack of call on Robertson.

He wasn't down when the hit was initialized, not late.

Doesn't matter. It was clearly a late hit personal foul and unbelievably stupid.

Horrible call and refs should be put in jail. They still aren't the reason we lose this game though.

Should have gone for 2, it appears. Dave goes for all but 1 4th down, then doesnt go for 2. Bizarre

They can't overturn the penalty… only the targeting. The 15 yards isn't getting taken back regardless

this is a game where, if I were head coach and were making HC money, would happily pay the fine to speak my mind about the officiating crew...
