You don't think the officials sucked and there were multiple missed calls on both sides? Obviously the punt block thing was the biggest in terms of its result on the game - but these officials were very bad on both sides.
Not that it matters to me due to the result - but these officials were very bad.
It's not that the comment is inaccurate, it's that it's used to excuse it as some how *balanced*. Officials are going to miss calls... period. That's not even debatable. The party line here on the rant right now if anyone makes any remark that remotely insinuates that Alabama benefited from the poor officiating is to go to the "on both sides" argument.
If a guy steals 10 bucks from you and 100 bucks from me... did we both lose something? Sure... but one of us was impacted more, no?
As I said multiple times in this thread, and in others... we had our chances and made mistakes along the way that ended up costing the game - that's on the players and coaches... but it's not inaccurate to say that Alabama's not even in the position to take advantage of them without some pretty beneficial officiating.

UGA got away with two blatant targeting penalties and the personal foul facemask on Tua that is featured on the cover of SI. If called those penalties could easily have led to points. Plus in the case of targeting UGA defenders should have been ejected.

Poor officiating affects ALL games. Look at the the missed calls in the Georgia v. Oklahoma game.
But y'all won that one. The winner of a game will never complain about officiating...only the loser.

I wish someone would take the time to post beneficial ref calls for the losing team. It just won't happen, because it is not "sensational" journalism and no one cares. But, it's there. I haven't seen one complaint of how 3 points for Bama were taken off the board in the first half, because the UGA player drew the Bama player offsides on the first made attempted FG of the game (that of course was followed up by a horrible attempt that barely went in the direction of the goalposts.)
Who wants to post articles about that play? Nobody, because the point is moot.
