It clearly started as a horse collar. That slowed cribs down enough to be pulled down by hair. This was the one call that was correct. Worst officiating I’ve seen. If the replacement refs called that game there would be an hour long espn special on it

“It can all hair and still be considered a horse collar. Suh had a similar call on Marion barber two years ago.”

Nope – Hair is not considered part of the uniform – it is part of the players body. Was probably a bad call back then as well but you can do whatever you want to a guys hair if it is sticking out of his helmet.

It would be nice if one of your crack writers actually called out the officials. I normally do not call out the officials because things have a way of evening out during a game, but today was over the top. The calls and more importantly the non-calls directly impacted the outcome of the game.

Yeah… The whole game was questionably called…

There have been so many questionable calls in that game. That’s the last one I would bring up.

I’m not a fan of either team but that was a horse collar. Look closely and you can see his hand come out of the pads and grab the hair. So the tackle started as a horse collar and ended as a hair pull.
