They brought some pretty good pressure against Flacco last night, and I hate to think what they'll do against our motley crew of an OL. We'd better hope that we can sustain a running attack.

Maybe I'm reading it incorrectly (although it does have us dead last, so I'm thinking not).

I believe it's caused by there being too many rules to remember.
Surely the ineligible issue was a terrible error, and I hear that that Ref has been reassigned, but there were a lot of people in the NFL who didn't know the rule about purposely batting the ball out of the end zone. There are still discussions about what constitutes a catch for goodness sake and that is a fundamental play let alone an obscure rule.
Pare down the rule book and we will see better and more consistent refereeing.

That doesn't explain the Chris Johnson-forward progress run. That one was a basic fundamental that's been around since the game was invented, not some obscure rule. Like Harbaugh said, had they hit him, they would have gotten flagged for a late hit.
But I'm not going to subscribe to the conspiracy theory, either.

Not all games, probably not the overwhelming majority of them, but they do happen and it usually makes good economic sense for the league when they do.Tell me the last time you have seen a truly bad team get a game absolutely handed to them by the officials vs a good opponent? It doesn't often happen that way.
MOF the case could be made that KJ and the Hawks benefited from an INTENTIONAL no call on the batted ball. The ref was in excellent position and looking directly at the play. He was not unaware of the rule. Blandino said the official felt the tap was "not overt". Can someone show me where "not overt" is in the rule book? I doubt it is. Its either a bat or it isn't. And these things just seem to happen sometimes. Refs make business decisions for themselves and the league. Like I say i hope we dont wind up on that side of the coin again someday but I will be watching closely.
