Replacement refs seem easily intimidated by home crowds and are leading to higher percentage of home teams winning.

I didn’t get to watch too much football this week, but I was watching a bit of the Was-NO game and there was a pass interference call that I thought was bad, and probably ended up being critical.

Washington led 20-14 early in the 3rd quarter. On 4th and 1, Washington threw a pass into the end zone and it fell incomplete. Roman Harper was called for PI and Washington got the ball on the 1 and then scored a touchdown, extending its lead to 27-14.

They showed one replay and the analyst said he didn’t see any PI. (I didn’t see it either.)
