Losing by no-call followed up by an absolutely braindead personal foul is such a gut wrenching way to go out. Can’t imagine what Alabama fans are feeling right now.

I, however, have zero sympathy. That sucks though.

I came in saying I wasn’t going to be mad if we lost. That changed, I’m mad at Lee and I’m fucking annoyed they just rams saintsd us

I more mad at the refs. Players literally do this all game, they both hit each other and the ref really wants to end the game with that penalty? At least call it on both of them

The second hit did it. Gotta be smarter than that

I know what did it. I still don’t call it if I’m a ref. Players do this all the time. If you wanna call it in the middle of the game, fine, but not to seal the game. It was soft and a good acting job.

Nah. The other guy baited him and flopped after the second shove. It was obvious flag and Lee deserved it.

u/GP_ADD Alabama • Mississippi State 6d ago

But he apparently didn’t deserve the PI on 3rd and 26

Separate arguments.

I know, he’s a dumbass

They both deserved flags. Offsetting.

If I’m a ref, I’m not ending a game vs the number 2 and 6 team over some soft open hand punches happening away from the play. Players do it all game and they let them go.

Agree to disagree. Deboer seemed to agree with me.

Oh as a coach, I’m taking Lee off the field next week, but as a ref, I wouldn’t have called that in that moment.

u/southernwx Alabama • South Alabama 6d ago

I kinda get what you are saying but it was a fair call. There are PLENTY of crappy calls to pick from in that game. I don’t wanna conflate the two as if I’m some sour grapes homer.

I don’t need that play to be brought up to make my case why the officials swayed the game. It’s just one I wouldn’t have called.
