Every play??? Ford, holtz, Boyd long bomb... I'm at the game but it's obvious from the seats here
BS. What were the missed calls that resulted in ND scoring a TD 3 plays into the game? What did the officials have to do with us having to kick yet another FG in the red zone on our first possession, instead of scoring a TD? That's what Duzzi was talking about when he talked about needing to start fast. Get your D off the field, get yiir O in the end zone. After preaching starting fast all week, both the O and D laid eggs right out of the gate. That first ND possession and our first possession were way more deflating than anything the officials did or didn't do.Unfortunately, the officiating took an emotional toll on the team today. Narduzzi emphasized the need for the Panthers to start fast against the domers and the penalty calls and lack of calls negatively impacted the player's psyche. Another teaching moment for both coaches and players.
Horrible. Boyd had his jersey pulled on the fade pattern he couldn't quite reach. Ford had his head taken off on the diving catch they screwed him on. There was another time in the second half where there was blatant interference not called on consecutive pass plays that even the announcers commented on.Every play??? Ford, holtz, Boyd long bomb...

Sean McDonough and Chris Spielman are not "Notre Dame announcers." They are ESPN/ABC college football announcers who move around every week. Do you even know who Spielman is? It would be laughable to suggest he's ND biased.The announcers are nd announcers

I don't think you can even say that. They were blatantly obvious. It wasn't even debatable. The refs just gave Notre Dame the benefit of the doubt even when everyone could see they were wrong. So yes, basically the refs just decided not to do anything.ND was very good at not being totally obvious about it and when they were not so good the refs decided not to do anything.
pitt defensive backs probably could have gotten away with it also, unfortunately none of them were ever close enough to will fuller, the best receiver on the field.I don't think you can even say that.

Just curious to pick your brain, what makes you think that? Every call or non-call the entire game goes Notre Dame's way, but you think Pitt would've gotten away with it? Not attacking you by any means, just curious as to how you think that. And I'll go on record and say this has nothing to do with them trying to hurt Pitt, it has everything to do with Notre Dame getting every break to go their way for years upon years now. That is not even debatable.pitt defensive backs probably could have gotten away with it also, unfortunately none of them were ever close enough to will fuller, the best receiver on the field.
He's not.You have to be the dumbest man in here. You are say MCDONOUGH is not an Irish fan????? You are such a nit wit. How could you watch the ND love from before kickoff and not think "well the only reason they are here is because ND is the opponent"
If love to hear why Spielman would be a Pitt fan, please tell me.
just being facetious. nd does not get every call. in the 2004 game at nd pitt benefitted greatly from a bunch of pass interference calls on notre some, some questionable like yesterday. I just think this idea that notre dame or any team gets more calls than another purposely is silly.Just curious to pick your brain, what makes you think that?

Take your Golden Domer hat off for once. I enjoy the friendly banter, I don't mean to escalate this to anything more. However, it is the exact opposite of silly, it is the flat out truth. Questionable calls in '04? Please. You probably think the 2012 PI call was actually close, if you couldn't tell that was picture perfect coverage and nothing more, you have no idea what you're talking about. Not saying that's though, as I said I wish not to attack you personally, but it's hilarious to think Notre Dame does not get every single break and have for years.I just think this idea that notre dame or any team gets more calls than another purposely is silly.

Do you think very many people if any bet on Temple that game? It's Vegas baby.Except the week before (as you've stated in another thread)? Why would that be an anomaly?
You reveal yourself to be more and more ignorant with every post. I wish I could resist calling out you and your twin Loaded so much, but I just can't. Some kind of personality defect I guess. Still beats being stupid.You have to be the dumbest man in here. You are say MCDONOUGH is not an Irish fan????? You are such a nit wit.

True, very good point.Without having seen the actual number, my guess is that approximately the same amount of money was bet on Temple as was bet on Notre Dame. Because if it isn't the books adjust the lines in an effort to make it so. If the books set the line correctly they don't really care much one way or the other who wins, they will come out in the black either way. When there is a game with a ton of money bet on one team or the other the people who run the books do not like that at all. It leaves them open to losing a lot of money.
You really are quite the simpleton
Yes, bad calls go both ways and even out. For example, ND having to start at thre 1 yard line after the pick
So yes, I said the refs aren't stealing teams from games. That's just the LOSER EXCUSE of fans who are to biased to realize thr calls go both ways and it's the plays throughout the game that players/coaches fail to make that actually lose the game
Again, blaming the refs is still a LOSER EXCUSE
Was Ford's catch pass interference...

You're basically admitting to the problem. The refs missed a ton of penalties on Notre Dame, so you point to how few penalties there were. Maybe they would've missed 5 PI's on Pitt too, but they didn't, because Pitt's defenders weren't even anywhere near the ND receivers as they were wide open all day.Here is the penalties for the day
ND Pitt
Penalties-Yds 2-20 3-25
Pretty even. ///////////// The Refs let em play which is generally good for Coach Nard
