Bias Confirmed

[Montsta]

If you watch the vine of when Hochuli was talking to Cam it does appear that Hochuli said, "because you were running." It may just be a case of Cam mishearing what Hochuli said.

I wonder if Hochuli said something like "it's because you were running" and Cam heard, "it's because you're a youngin" or something like that.

That could explain why Cam said in his presser that he was told he wasn't old enough to get that call without those words actually being said, merely interpreted from what Cam thought he heard. 

I don't see how Cam could confuse you were running with you are not old enough. 

I don't like Hochuli as much as the next guy, but so far this theory makes the most sense to me after seeing that vine, because Cam isn't baffled until Hochuli pretty clearly mouths you were running. I love pitchforks, but I'm gonna chalk this one off to miscommunication.

Maybe it was just me? But the call on the punt against Teddy that ended up with the saints returning a kick was the worst all day. Don't get wrong there were some bad ones. But that was just plain wrong.

On a related note, I'm not a fan of "celebrity" referees.

This isn't the WWE. You're not part of the storyline.

Yeah, I honestly think that is probably what happened.

This assclown graduated from UTEP, Never cared for him tho Never will

[tiger7_88]

Yeah, it was absolutely a late hit in addition to the player falling on Cam's head well out of bounds. 

 

Yeah, but as I've pointed out before that falls into the broad "Cam Newton Exceptions" appendix of the Official NFL Referees Manual.

So no foul.

So its OK to late-hit a runner in Hochuli's world?

Nope the worst call all day was the "hands to the face" call on Ealy when Ealy had no hands to the guys face.

By rule, assuming that cam hadn't stepped out of bounds prior to being hit(I haven't seen the replay yet, the NFL has and said it was the correct call) it was the correct call and in Hochuli's world the rules are all that matter.

If you think the rule is bad then your issue is with the competition committee and not Hochuli.

Damn, I forgot that 1. Hell, I still think the hit on Funchess should have been targeting. All in all those refs stunk bad

[Fox007]

"Because you were running" is not a valid excuse to NOT throw the flag....a late hit is a late hit no matter what so Ed is still a moron, a jack ass, and a cheat.

About 10 minutes into the game I turned to my wife and told her that this was going to be one of those games that the refs will be making several questionable calls to help the Saints out.

1000000000000 if that was brady or peyton or even andrew luck would give that flag
