David Marsh No. 2 Share Posted October 25 That's a pretty bad missed call. I'm a sport that is determined to say they care about player safety missing any call around facemasking or targeting (whatever the NFL equiois) is bad. But it makes everyone angrier when a missed call results in negative points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyjesus615 No. 3 Share Posted October 25 Horrible human error. The refs are lucky this wasn't played in Minnesota or that replay would've been on every screen in the stadium a thousand times over. NFL and College should allow reviews of all penalties after the 2 minute warning/timeout. The amount of parity, especially in college now, means games will come down to the wire far more often than ever before. Refs can't and won't be able to catch everything, but when it's this egregious and still missed, there needs to be an opportunity for review. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktmguy2018 No. 4 Share Posted October 25 That was a horrible miss. You don't even have to see the hand in the facemask to make that call. When someone's head gets spun around like that, either they are starring in the exorcist, or it was a facemask! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 6 Share Posted October 25 You can see the back judge immediately reach for his flag because he suspects it is a face mask. However, for some reason he decided against throwing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
