1. The DPI on Sneed on their last TD drive. Really bad call and extended their drive. They are punting if that flag is not thrown.
2. Horse collar flag on the same drive I believe. Terrible call.
3. The missed false start when they were on the goal line. It was 3rd down, so it didn't necessarily give them the win, we would have still needed to stop them on 3rd and goal from the 6.

Those are the only really horrible calls I can think of. Someone mentioned another missed false start when we were called for encroachment, but that was only a 5 yarder and probably didn't have that much of an impact. Ii haven't seen the replay myself to determine if it was indeed a false start.

There were a few other defensive penalties that extended drives, but in my opinion, those were not bad calls. The holding on the kickoff return hurt as well, and was a borderline infraction. But we seem to draw flags anytime we take the ball out on kickoffs, so maybe they were watching for that.

On the opposite side, I think the DPI called against Kelce in the 1st quarter was a really bad call and led to a TD for us.

So I guess I'm wondering how lopsided the officiating really was? We HAVE to score more than 3 points in the 2nd half in that game. And then there was the horrible defensive call on 3rd and 27. Ooof.

Sounds it was the difference in the game. That's several big calls that ****ed us.
