they obviously think the pi was bogus and fail to mention all the calls they got early. http://forums.denverbroncos.com/showthread.php?t=174929
there are surprising number of Broncos fans that agree it was a legit PI call though. Much more intelligent fanbase than your typical Fins board
Fitting they live in mile high because if they have the balls to complain about those idiot refs they are freaking high. That was about the worst officiated game I have ever seen. The fucking Broncos were holding every fucking play........
I dont understand how anyone could think that was bogus if anything was bogus it was the Leonhard out of bounds hit... that was some real bullshit

Furthermore, throughout the game I felt as if we benefited from multiple close calls or bad calls much more than they hurt us. This is one game that I can in no way shape or form see being blamed on the refs.
it seems like a decent amount think it was the right call. here they all agree with us, suprisingly: http://www.broncosforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=185333
i obviously looked at the wrong board... they seem like they know football... the broncos looked good and i wouldnt be surprised if they won the afc west.
Absolutely. If the situation was reversed, someone here would have started a thread saying the exact same thing, and then many posters would have jumped in saying that it sucks, but the call was right, just as happened there. The thing I found interesting was the couple of people saying that the NFL obviously wants the Jets to win, and the existence of east coast bias. Conspiracy theories are everywhere! My favorite reply was from BroncsSB#3:
The refs were clearly calling everything as PI. They set the tone that no interference was allowed. It was BS that they were so strict, but clearly everyone in the game knew that was how they refs were gonna call it. The Broncos fans look so stupid, if anything, because then Leonhard's penalty shouldn't have been called. They also mentioned that Holmes couldnt have caught that. Were they watching the same game? Holmes almost caught that shit sitting down and clearly his head being pulled in one direction interfered with that. That is the nature of what PI is supposed to be about.
