Look back at the Detroit/Dallas play-off game. Lions were about to go up two scores late...and they picked up a flag on an obvious PI penalty. It would have essentially ended the game with a FG. They proceeded to barrage the lions with multiple PI penalties which immediately got Dallas into scoring range. That was the most blatant example I've seen...
Pass interference should be a challengeable penalty...but never will. It's too valuable of a "judgment" tool....and can swing games late.
Pass interference can be challenged in the CFL.
Same shit though - blatant infractions still get overruled when they don't want to show up the officials, or make games "interesting".
One of the worst examples of biased officiating to influence results was Pittsburgh's SB win over the Seahawks. Ghost infractions against the Seahawks defense to prolong Pittsburgh drives, and when on offense, the token holding calls would come. Cowher and Bettis got their ring.
I still say Santonio Holmes' didn't get both feet down against Arizona either... [Reply]

In that sb, Vince Mcmahon (Goodell) screwed Stone Cold Steve Austin (Denver) over and over and delivered the title to The Rock (Seahawks). [Reply]

I'm more upset that Siemian didn't rebound after that pick. The turnover took the energy out of the stadium and it's the QB's job to regroup and get the momentum back. Siemian didn't do that. [Reply]

Dont worry, Sanchez will take the energy out of your entire season... [Reply]
