Now this is a ridiculous take. The refs aren't trying to take victory from anyone. Are they great at what they do? Not by a long shot, but the paranoia is over the top here. Three out of the top five threads on here, at submitting of this post, are crying about the refs. If you're a player, or team, just do your job correctly and move on to the next play. That's what Pope has been telling these guys, stop whining and just play!
In a really tight game.... bad calls can change momentum, effect play and lead to one team having an advantage over the other.
My goodness man. Watch the replay. #2 was fouling the living **** out of Carr - actually intentionally to stop the clock and extend the game. Raked, completely grabbed and put into a submission hold, then the ball was taken. He’s literally bear hugging Carr. This is why your takes are considered bad. Because they are. Especially on this one. Ref makes that call it’s most certainly game over. I usually don’t have a problem with your opinions, but this one specifically is just not based in fact and considering the rules of the game. Weight room ain’t helping that; it was 3 on 1 with #2 molesting Carr from behind.
Well you brought up additional situations that I wasn’t commenting on and accused me of having a bad take. Play fair. I was only talking about the Carr strip in the last minute. Carr got out muscled. They took the ball from him and in my opinion it was clean. He has to at least hold on for a jump ball. The defenders have a right to the ball. There will be contact inevitably. I did not think there was a foul there.
Thanks for that info. Don't like Vladimir. Other two must be OK.
No, I’m speaking directly about the “strip” you say was clean. Everything I described above can be seen in replay. Bear hug man - raked, held, hugged. I have no problem with you personally, I like your posts, you seem like a good dude. No worries, I just completely disagree with you on that one specific “non foul.” Just watch it again.
Totally fine. I have two takes that I get killed on. Officials and the new wildcat logo (it’s awesome). I own them both
Your take isn't unpopular because it goes against the narrative being pushed, it's unpopular because it's objectively incorrect. He was fouled. Not once, but twice on the play. If you can watch the replay of that and insist it was "clean," then you simply don't understand the rule.
I prefer a more physical style of ball. It’s my preference. It was also under a min left and I think they should let a lot of things go during that time.
