I’m calling bulldinky.

That, the first pass interference on us and the no call when Alford was held more on the same sideline were all atrocious. The rest debatable. But those three alone were impactful. And the acting job by klutnick on the nudge by wax was insane.

Yeah - Dabo is like K - he teaches his kids to really sell calls. And he gets them and it matters.

I absolutely hate it in all sports, but it is what it is.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Listen, just back from the game, will watch the replay, but being there, they sure set the tone in a negative way if the calls were indeed as bad as perceived in the Dome.

If negatively sets the early tone, which affects the short term, which in turn, affects long-term. End of story, if we score on the first series, it’s off to the races. If I am wrong after a rewatch, I’ll come back after a rewatch and apologize

From where I sit, that hit on Shrader should have been targeting.

But I sit a long way away, and I'm biased.

 

[Bayside44]

We didn't request a review

That's my point I know...we would've lost it.

Other than Clemson fans, ACC Conference officials and fans of officials, I'm quite sure that an overwhelming majority would feel that the hit on Shrader was worthy of a targeting call

 

[samspann1]

What I'd like to know is why the replay official didn't request a replay on that play (or the Alford catch in the 1st half). At a minimum, both seemed close enough for a second look.

IDK if they have an eye in the sky that say play on...doubt it...

I mean, they looked at the Syracuse fumble recovery for quite a while.

Yeah I know.

Looking at that play do you think it gets overturned?

They should have looked at both but I don’t think either would have been overturned. The pass by Klubnick went forward by a half yard.

Alford did a great job of getting a foot down but it looked like he was bobbling the ball and by the time he secured the catch he was out of bounds. ABC showed the replay once, maybe twice so it was hard to tell it that’s what it looked like to me.

 

[Newhouser]

This isn't a backwards pass. We give up a timeout saying it is. (I think)

Why? Upstairs can review that. Stripe signaled incomplete which is a no no in modern officiating. Should have let it go and let review happen. Both reviews we needed seemed rush.

 

[samspann1]

Yeah I know.

Looking at that play do you think it gets overturned?

The Alford catch? Yes.

The backwards pass? To me, it was too close to tell, so the ruling on the field likely stands, which makes me ask... why didn't they immediately whistle the play dead on the field? They let the play go, after Syracuse scoops and scores, they announce that it was an incomplete pass.

 

[swish7]

The refs were terrible and had an impact on the game.

This is true too.

So frustrating.

 

[pokercuse08]

On the targeting play, Shrader should have stayed down, been helped off the field, and acted like he wasn't going to be able to come back in. Would have made them less likely to overturn the targeting call if they thought he was injured on the play.

Yep, but the kid is too tough for his own good, in the zero surprise category, he’s being evaluated for a concussion is the word I’m hearing. The early hit negatively affecting him the entire game, more than running and throwing

Shrader takes targeting like a man, klubnik fakes a fall like a sissy

looks like he releases it from the 43 and it lands at the 43 and a half from that angle.
but yes it should have been reviewed.

Yeah no targeting, his head, miraculously turned to the side, and backward, all by its own!

We lost this game. Any accusations it was due to the refs or anything else is misplaced frustration.

I love this inevitable oh so noble cliched nonsense.

When we get lucky we will admit it but they saved them a few times

 

[cuse309]

LOL, why did you feel the need to defend the refs? Haven't even been mentioned in this thread.

Why can't both things be true. Refs sucked, but so did we.

 

[Reyes39]

I thought the refs were great, personally. The use of the replay reviews, consistent application of DPI/defensive holding - just really, really well done by all.

I think your online activity should be closely monitored.

That isn't targeting. You can clearly see the crown of helmet.
Sometimes we just see what we want to see

I couldn’t agree more.

Sorry I don’t agree. His helmet hit his helmet first. How do you think GS helmet is the way it is in that photo? Helmet doesn’t pop off from a shoulder hit
