Does anyone else think...

that the refs blew the game for us? They did, I'm watching these plays over and over and I swear the refs fixed this game. They had to of. There is no way they miss that many calls when they can see the play with a good angle.

ugh.

Maybe they don't want TY here either... :idea:

Lot of BS calls in critical situations for Pitt. Who throws a flag with a minute to go in a close came when there was clearly no pass interference which negates the interception ending the game?? And almost 90% of flags thrown were late. It was as if the Irish would turn look at the ref and then they threw the flag. Sickning that the ref's had to much of a hand in the outcome. But Ty got out coached again.

It seemed like everytime ND stopped Pitt on 3 or 4 down the flags came out. Remember they were Big East officials and they had the Gator Bowl bid to defend. That said Notre Dame still should have won the game. There is no excuse for the terrible play of the secondary, none what so ever

Theres no way the defense should have given up that many touchdown passes/passing yards. But everytime ND's defense seemed to make a big play there was always some call to negate it. I noticed a lot of defensive holding calls in that game and i really dont seem to see them very often in an entire year.

i think the refs sucked hardcore and i think they blew our chance with that call when Tommy Z. knocked the ball down at the end, but it never should have come to that. Pittsburghs receiver that lee guy is from florida, and apparently he didnt have enough talent to get recruited by any florida schools (nbc sports) and he smoked our secondary who has high school all americans in it. pathetic.

The refs were aweful. They were big east refs so I imagine they'd benefit pitt. ND needs to install instant replay at home games, because they only use the opponents refs for there home games.

The refs were horrible. Maybe the worst officiating game I have ever seen, but the secondary is really to blame. They both get an F grade for the week, along with Ty's coaching for the week. This game really hurt and I blame Ty.

i like the instant replay idea! Why not? So what penalties can't be reviewed, but other things happen that can change the game.....if refs weren't so stupid or blind we wouldn't need instant replay in just about every damn sport there is......
