Jaws said on MNF that AP has a strong handshake and Hochuli agreed bc he said AP still had possession in his hand even though the ball was coming away from his body. Instead of calling Hochuli out on the bs call the MNF announcers just reiterated that AP does have big, powerful hands.

he said that even though the ball was not against his body, he still maintained control of the ball in his hand when his knee hit the ground and then the ball popped out. In the first half,the officiating was the worst i have seen on any level.

every time ed gave one of his long, pathetic explanations it was basically saying "hey guys I know you think something is finally going to go your way, but its not and here's why"

I think the explanation was "the ball was loose but not loose enough, "

At least that's what I heard and saw. I believe he did actually say the ball was coming loose but because AP still had his hand on it, it wasn't considered free?

Followed soon after by "the defense was offsides but it's a false start instead of offsides because being in the neutral zone suddenly isn't a penalty for Minnesota"

Using that logic, Moore would have been down on that interception?

This picture actually tells a hell of a lot about Hochuli. Total attention whore - you can tell he spends HOURS on his upper body but virtually no time on his legs. Why? Because nobody will see his legs on a national level since he wears pants all the time.

I just don't see how they can give AP the benefit of the doubt.

"Well, the ruling on the field stands because Peterson is a monster with big strong man-hands and there ain't a snowball's chance in hell he fumbled that ball. First down Minnesota."

It was just one of many f'd up calls by last nights crew.

It was really hard to watch last nights game and not think there was some kind of fix involved.
The non-face mask call was atrocious.
Then you have the fumble call, which was worst because he actually looked at it in slow mo.
Then the neutral zone call where the D is offside, but the movement was on the opposite side so it is an offensive penalty, WTF.
