I'll start with a few obvious missed holds that should have been called on the Colts: https://vine.co/v/iWOxXTgADIj Gholston held, tackled to the ground. No call. https://vine.co/v/iWOQnjEhtgn Lavonte literally tackled on a blitz on a big third down conversion. No penalty is called. https://vine.co/v/iWOXtzWaPwq Gholston held. No flag.An evaluation of all of the Bucs penalties:(Shotgun) PENALTY on TB-56-J.Smith, Neutral Zone Infraction, 5 yards, enforced at IND 31 - No Play.CORRECT CALL (1)(10:07) (No Huddle, Shotgun) PENALTY on TB-93-G.McCoy, Neutral Zone Infraction, 5 yards, enforced at TB 49 - No Play.CORRECT CALL (2)(Shotgun) 8-M.Hasselbeck pass incomplete deep left to 80-C.Fleener [56-J.Smith]. PENALTY on TB-30-B.McDougald, Defensive Pass Interference, 16 yards, enforced at IND 39 - No Play.INCORRECT CALL (1) - Double Fail! Jacqueis gets held on this play and they call a DPI on McDougald for Fleener tripping on his own feet (which, I admit, does happen a decent amount). You can see the flag is thrown a good 3 or 4 seconds after the contact has happened. https://vine.co/v/iWOPa5IK3jB (7:38) (Shotgun) PENALTY on TB-13-M.Evans, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at IND 9 - No Play.CORRECT CALL (3)(5:57) (Run formation) 64-K.Pamphile reported in as eligible. 22-D.Martin left end for 2 yards, TOUCHDOWN NULLIFIED by Penalty. PENALTY on TB-64-K.Pamphile, Offensive Holding, 10 yards, enforced at IND 2 - No Play.CORRECT CALL (4) - I don't have a vine on this, but I remember it being ticky tacky. I'll count this one as legit, despite the Colts having much worse holds that weren't called.(4:52) (Shotgun) PENALTY on TB-90-H.Melton, Neutral Zone Infraction, 5 yards, enforced at IND 21 - No Play.INCORRECT CALL (2) - Don't have a vine of this, but Dwayne Allen CLEARLY moved first and made Melton jump. The announcers couldn't believe they didn't catch it understandingly. (4:34) 3-J.Winston pass incomplete deep left to 13-M.Evans. PENALTY on TB-13-M.Evans, Offensive Pass Interference, 10 yards, enforced at TB 24 - No Play.INCORRECT CALL (3) - Don't have a vine of this, but it was pretty clear that Evans didn't do anything on this play, while Davis was making contact with Evans. (15:00) (Run formation) 22-D.Martin left tackle to TB 25 for 5 yards (21-V.Davis; 52-D.Jackson). PENALTY on TB-83-V.Jackson, Offensive Holding, 10 yards, enforced at TB 20 - No Play.INCORRECT CALL (4) - See vine below. Another ticky tacky call. Definitely not as bad as the holds shown above with the Colts. Because I called the first ticky tacky call correct, I am calling this one wrong, especially when you consider all the missed holding vines above I posted on the Colts. https://vine.co/v/iWO2xXuJexj (4:02) 10-C.Barth 54 yard field goal is No Good, Wide Left, Center-48-A.DePaola, Holder-5-J.Schum. PENALTY on TB-70-L.Mankins, Unsportsmanlike Conduct, 15 yards, enforced at IND 44.INCORRECT CALL (5) - Don't have a vine of this, but this was a typical shove that happens after the play. He didn't touch him in the face or throw him down to the ground or anything. Ridiculous call.(12:06) (Shotgun) 8-M.Hasselbeck pass short right to 17-G.Whalen to IND 47 for 18 yards (26-S.Moore). FUMBLES (26-S.Moore), RECOVERED by TB-56-J.Smith at IND 38. 56-J.Smith to IND 23 for 15 yards (71-D.Good). Penalty on TB-21-A.Verner, Defensive Holding, offsetting, enforced at IND 29 - No Play. Penalty on IND-71-D.Good, Horse Collar Tackle, offsetting.INCORRECT CALL (6) - See vine below. https://vine.co/v/iWOEmnPlij7 (6:35) 4-A.Vinatieri 30 yard field goal is GOOD, NULLIFIED by Penalty, Center-45-M.Overton, Holder-1-P.McAfee. PENALTY on TB-23-C.Conte, Leaping, 6 yards, enforced at TB 12 - No Play.CORRECT CALL (5) - It technically wasn't the correct call, as it wasn't leaping. Below is a vine of Conte's penalty and two other examples that weren't called for other teams. You can also tell how clueless these refs are as they don't throw a flag until a good 3-5 seconds after the play. With that being said, it was running into the holder so I am considering it okay.Conte - https://vine.co/v/iWeuwaHZJEt Kam Chancelor - https://vine.co/v/iWeuBBXWLhn Jamie Collins - https://vine.co/v/iWeBTjZd1Mw (:26) (Shotgun) PENALTY on TB-78-G.Cherilus, False Start, 3 yards, enforced at TB 6 - No Play.CORRECT CALL (6)So, 6 of the 12 penalties called on the Bucs were legit, and 6 were not. 6 penalties in a game is actually very good for a NFL team (only 3 teams average less than 6 a game). As shown above, the refs missed plenty of calls on the Colts that they had no problem calling on the Bucs.Would love to see Lovie call out this officiating crew for their pathetic performance, as this type of crap should not be tolerated.
