Re: This officiating needs to be talked about more

the ACC replay officials need to be canned, there are some blind fool idiots in the booth.

THe targeting calls are going to ruin football. There was a bad one in the Uva-VT game, where a guy hit with his face. But Sat's on Anthony was worse than the one on SMith at Wake.

And the non-review of the TD by DW, well. Giving coaches a challenge is useless, b/c they are basically challenging the replay official. He ain't ever going to overturn on a challenge b/c that is admitting he didn't do his job in the first place.

The non-fumble they were calling forward motion stopped. It was quicker than any whistle for forward motion stopped that I've seen, but fortunately it didn't matter to the outcome of the game.

The coaches need to revolt to the ACC office about the replay officials and targeting calls this offseason, though. That has to get better.

i agree....

The onside kick call was correct because the ball was kicked from the tee directly into the air. The ball was not kicked into the ground so the receiving team is given an opportunity to catch the ball. The receiver did not signal for a fair catch. He was slanting toward the sideline to reach for the ball. That makes no difference in the outcome. I was hoping that we would have kept the ball at that point because ewe had just seized momentum. We still won and did so in a pretty easy fashion.

I hate the targeting rule as it is way too subjective. The refs are calling targeting for hits by the defender's facemask or the side of their helmets. Isn't the rule specific that it is with the crown of the helmet? Also, I did see Anthony "launch" either. He basically leaned toward the QB and pushed him.

I am all for the refs having greater accountability which will increase the quality and efficiency of the officiating. Fine and/or suspend refs for missed calls. And please no political crap like that garbage that came out after Smith's targeting call. How can the poor officiating get fixed if those in power are too weak and sof to do anything about it?

Stepping off soap box now.
