[quote author=Boston Card link=topic=12924.msg130744#msg130744 date=1443240678]It would have been Wright's third touchdown run from the one had it been called right.

The fate of that drive wouldn't have been in the refs' hands had they perhaps netted more than -2 yards on the two preceding plays.
And yes, it the kick looked good from here.

This wasn't a subtle hold. It was a blown call plain and simple. Rector was one on one with the defender, who pulled him. This wasn't a case of running it into a pile on third down and hoping to get a good spot; it was a bad screw-up on the part of the refs; one that most refs get right most of the time.

I understand that. What I'm saying is that play likely never would have been called had the ball been on the 3 or 4, where it should have been, instead of on the 11. That play, and the subsequent officiating failure, were only made possible by offensive ineptitude. This is not to absolve the refs at all, I just think it's very short-sighted to say "The refs copulated us" and leave it at that.
And as I post about offensive ineptitude...wow. Magical ball.

Tough to say that there has been a ton of offensive ineptitude today. 28 points in 2 1/2 quarters.

I was referring to the two plays that preceded the blown call, in which the offense netted -2 yards. But agree to disagree I suppose.

Boneheaded play by the freshman on punt coverage. But he knew he messed up immediately. All his teammates can do is pick him up.

I understand that. But in the course of 40+ plays, you are going to have a couple of negative ones. Overall, though, it is hard to complain about the offense today, and there is a reason you get three downs to advance the ball. Sometimes you will have a third and long, and we have the players to convert those downs (see third and 9 against SC last week). But part of that depends on players beating the defenders one-on-one, which of course depends on the refs flagging blatant holds.
