Normally I don't get too emotional about bads calls. If you put a rock in each pocket for bad calls, one for one team and one for another, it usually evens out in this the year of the terrible officiating. This one however, would tip you over.
Putting aside the fact that Casey should have never thrown that ball - and that's indisputable - you simply cannot ignore the pass interference in the endzone. Would Simon have made that catch? Probably not because Jame Patrick was in a better position to catch it when it was in the air. But Simon was prevented from making a play on the ball. This business of "they held each other up" is absurd. What would Simon stand to gain from tying up a defender when he's trying to get open for a game winning catch?
The illegal block that sprung Jason Armstead and an obvious late hit on Printers by Chick I can deal with. A defender draped over our best pass receiver on the last play of the game I cannot.
