The officials miss several calls on the same series | Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs Carolina Panthers

Alright, well we had some officiating controversy here in the Buccaneers-Panthers game. Let's talk about it. I'm going to pause it right here. This was actually something that got completely missed by the broadcast. In fact, they didn't even show a replay of this penalty live, but to me I think it was a bad call and the first of many to come. So here's what it's going to be called. Watch as... So it's going to be on Levante David. You see how he's going to create contact. This is going to be called for illegal contact down the field. Again, this is the only angle we have. But the rule is you can create contact within five yards of the line of scrimmage. That'd be up to the 11-yard line, which it appears though that's around where the contact is going to be. Watch. Kind of seems like he makes contact. I guess they're saying maybe he... I mean, again, you can... I guess maybe to say it's, you know, five and a half yards, I guess. I don't know. I feel like that was a bit ticky-tacky. Again, nothing compared to what we're about to see though. So Carolina now has possession. They don't have to face a third down deep in their own territory. This play then happens where this is... I don't get how this gets missed. I mean, look. Sirosier Dennis just rips off the helmet of Tommy Tremble and throws it to the ground. I mean, what do you think happened there, officials? Like, that's an easy 15-yard penalty. Carolina should have gotten, instead of having to face a third down, they should have gotten the ball around midfield. So now they have to face a third down. And again, I don't fully understand why this is one of those plays that we can't have an expedited review on, right? Like, this is just so obviously a penalty. Like, it should easily be called. Then on a third down and two, you're going to have this where Bryce Young appears to hit Tett McMillan. However, he's going to get called for an offensive pass interference. Now this one, I'm not as against as the other ones are, I have to say. So is this very ticky-tacky, similar to the one on Levante David earlier? Yes. Although it is... I mean, it's two yards down the field and he smacked Benjamin Morrison in the head and knocked him to the side. That is a penalty. Like, by rule, that's a penalty. Again, is it too ticky-tacky to call? Because if it was just one yard past the line of scrimmage, then it's not a penalty. If it's further than that, it is a penalty. So it is close. I think personally, I would like to see both of these go. This one and the David penalty, I think, are kind of similarly ticky-tacky and not really flags that have to be called there. Although, I mean, again, you can't put your guy this far out of the way two yards down the line of scrimmage. I kind of get this one. But don't worry, we're not done with bad calls yet. You see, Baker Mayfield is going to throw this one. It looks like Kate Otten just, I think either he slips or maybe feet get tangled. It's worth noting, in the rules, feet getting tangled is not a penalty. Unless it's like an intentional kick, that would be tripping, which is a whole different penalty. If it's just the feet run into each other and because of that, the offensive player goes down, it is not defensive pass interference. I mean, I wish we got a better angle, I will say. But like, what in the world is this play call? This is one of the worst play calls I've ever seen in my life. How is this pass interference, unless it was a hold earlier on in the play, I don't get this at all. And again, this is like, this game could determine who goes through the playoffs and who doesn't. So like, it's a huge game and for some really awful officiating, just tough to watch and mostly it favored Tampa Bay.
