Yet another game where MR. Ed Hochuli has missed a bunch of calls. The NFL needs to do something about him.

Ed Hochuli got his wish, he got to decided another turn out of a game. They call pass interference on Tony Gonzalez, but miss every other call during the game.

Tony Corrente at a crucial play late in the 3rd quarter of the Miami-Denver game with Miami leading 16-10. Cutler to Marshall 77 Yard TD pass on 2nd and 16 to give Denver the lead but the brutal officiating crew decided to call a phantom offensive pass interference against Marshall and bring it all back. 2 plays later, Cutler threw a pick and Miami went on to kick a FG for a 19-10 lead before both teams exchanged TDs in the 4th quarter.

Denver has 2x paid its penance for the blown Hochuli call that won the SD game

The officiating in Denver Colorado is getting worse and worse. The Offensive pass interference on Brandon Marshall was a joke. Tony Corrente has joined to ranks of Ed Hochuli. That call easily changes who won that game and who would have the momentum.

I didn’t get the call in the Jets-Bills game when the Jets’ receiver had a foot out of bounds and touched the ball on a kickoff. They gave the ball to the Jets on the 40 yard line and said that it was a kickoff out of bounds.
Ron Winter blows way to many calls like this and the league needs to think about removing him from his referee position.

Zach,

If a ball touches a player who is out of bounds, the ball is out of bounds by rule. Thus the call there was correct.
