Every disconcerting signals penalty ever called

Yes this call was what I thought of right away because it was in the NC game. Then the ref waited to throw the flag really late. Miami got screwed with that call

Yes Auburn game 2006 and we should have been throwing the football early on in the first half. They could not watch or keep up with our receivers Coaching pissed that game and our season away that day. 2006 team was better than the 07 team

Already mentioned but Miami/Ohio st and Sants/Rams are the two worst.
Worst one not mentioned is the Oregon/Oklahoma onside’s kick.
The refs called a phantom recovery for Oregon then reviewed it and upheld it. Football actually just rolled out of the pile and was easily recovered by an Oklahoma player. It was a Pac 10 crew and changed in the short term how they chose crews for out of conference games.

That pass actually was tipped though, so it was technically the right call
No it wasn’t

no replay was needed for that shite. Way too obvious.Posted on 8/24/25 at 8:14 am to SuperFlyTiger

A bad call should be a shock. By the instantaneous reaction of #5--before the refs could even reach for a flag--he knew what he did was borderline at best.

2014 Bama. Penalty Vadal Alexander. Only way to keep Bama in game.
Hard to think of non-Bama bad calls.

I still am in disbelief that the NFL didn’t release any sort of statement nor comment on it whatsoever. Worst officiating blunder in sports history, no doubt.
Bill Freakin Vinovich. I remember seeing him officiating a west coast ncaa basketball game a few days afterwards. Chump couldn’t care less. Goodell was happy because he got a team from LA in the SB. I was at the game, in the end zone seats. Since that call, with the woke push, and plans to globalize the NFL, I’ve lost a lot of enthusiasm for the league.

Saints vs. Rams in the 2019 NFC Championship game. New Orleans was robbed by a corrupt NFL. Never watched the NFL again. It's rigged.

The Patrick Peterson interception against Alabama. That was the most obvious mistake that could have been overturned by replay and wasn't.
The LSU OL was getting their shite pushed in all day by Bama. The outcome of that game would have been the same if this play had gone the other way.
The 2006 Auburn game missed calls ultimately cost LSU another trophy.

That play derailed the season
Not really. LSU had a bad team that year. Years of recruiting neglect by Arnsparger and Archer's bad coaching took its inevitable toll. And to think Curley Hallman... was waiting in the wings!
I don't know how LSU put it all together the very next week after the Vandy fiasco and beat a very good A&M team, 17-8, but they did. That was pretty much the highlight reel of LSU's 1990 season, as the team won only two more games after that.

I wouldn’t say the worst, but was a huge penalty that probably didn’t need to be called, and absolutely affected the outcome of the game. The personal foul penalty on Vadal Alexander against Bama in 2014. We could have scored a TD instead of a field goal if it weren’t for that. Would have made it more difficult for Bama to go down the field and score a TD, instead of a FG they were able to settle for.
Agreed and the biggest part of that penalty is it prevented us from taking a last second chip shot field goal. It stopped the clock and gave bama an extra 40-45 seconds to work with

Not a penalty but in 2000 vs Alabama in Tiger Stadium when they tried to give Alabama the ball after picking up a flag for “halo violation” it was going to get very very ugly if the team didn’t convince the officials to look at the scoreboard replay
The gumps think they were robbed because the refs looked at the scoreboard and there was no replay.

The NOLA no call... I'm gonna be honest, and I know this is an unpopular take, but in real time I didn't think it was a PI. Now in slow motion, from the angle behind, of course it was. But as a die hard Saints fan even I didn't see it as PI in real time.
Oh, I think it was clearly interference.
Still, the attention on the missed penalty totally let Sean Payton off the hook for some seriously bad play calling.
So the Saints got a first down at the 13 at the two minute warning. The Rams have two timeouts left. The trade the Saints have to make is this: score a TD or score a field goal after forcing LA to use both of their timeouts. The best way to guarantee one of those to happen is to run the ball.
1st down: incomplete pass--no gain and no forcing a timeout.(in fact, NO called a time out, but it really doesn't matter due to the incomplete.)
2nd down: run for no gain--LA timeout.
3rd down: Incomplete, no call--No forcing a timeout.
4th down: Field goal.
Had the Saints just run the ball for no gain, the Rams would have been down 3 with about 50 seconds left. In the actual game, the Rams had 1:41 left and a timeout, which they used on their FG drive.
Sean Payton outcoached himself on that drive trying to get the "walk-off."
