Twitter: Zeke: We overcame the Patriots and the Zebras

[ArbynTX]

When games are called this poorly it just makes the ‘W’ even sweeter.

Why are the refs so untouchable? I truly don’t understand it

They can make biased calls or make glaring mistakes on a regular basis, and they’re not ever held accountable. As a player or coach, you’re fined for talking about it

Well we did get away with one on the first drive in OT. That was hands to the face on brown on that third down.

But overall the calls were really one sided, especially early in the game

 

[Gaede]

He did score.

100%. That's the point.

The NFL is the ONLY professional sports league without FULL TIME officials.

It's frustrating after watching college football. They have replay down to a science, and handle it much better. It's kind of embarrassing for the NFL to be so incompetent when the college ranks have it so down.

Randy Gregory agrees

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

It's true but....

The zebras miss a TD in the end zone in the second half. Our receiver caught the ball, had control of the ball, was down by contact and then the ball squirts out.

That was a TD!

Belichick is a dirty coach that teaches his players to play dirty.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

Don't worry Zeke the league will send the letter and apologize but I'm afraid you'll be on the hook for the fine

I think he can afford a few.

Likely. Players are not allowed to talk poorly about officiating.

Right, but if the league reviews the calls and the officiating is determined to be wrong, should a player still be fined? If so, that’s wrong…

Should they? No. It's still against the rules, though.

.....here comes a Zeke hefty fine for speaking what we all say. The non-TD call on Dak was extremely baffling.

 

[CowboyRoy]

It's true but....

What we overcame was a horrible Connor Williams and another game of MM blowing nearly every in game and clock management situation. He seems to be getting worse. Funny listening to Romo try and figure out what he is doing.

MM seems completely lost at the end of halves and the end of games with the clock.

I typically don't put blame on refs even when it is obvious for a call or two. But the way they were ignoring blows to the head of the QB, and not calling holding on N.E. OL but calling holding on ours very unevenly was making it appear to be as if it were on purpose. I know the NFL doesn't want to appear that way, but yikes that was a nightmare. Good to get the win.

Those officials and the NFL could care less how it looks, it's in your face and they don't care. There are no repercussions. Laughing all the way to the bank with another ratings winner OT.

 

[Bullflop]

Of course he will.. and it will be worth it.

Here's hoping Roger won't sentence him to the rest of the year on suspension. That'd be a bit harsh!

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Should they? No. It's still against the rules, though.

I understand it’s the rule, but it’s not like a player is questioning the call during the game and gets fined, the game is already over.

What I am questioning is the league should review the calls and if they find several bad calls, the player(s) should not be fined, especially if the player(s) complaining win the game.

 

[Teague31]

Jerry will pay the fine

 

[Playmaker3128]

The refs are in bellichecks pocket, cause he has too much power. They are scared of him. At least NE won't be in it this year won't have to worry about that.

I can't help but wonder if he panics and goes into some sort of a brain malfunction. At least, he seems consistent . . .

Calling out officiating during a presser or interview is against the rules. It's not the same as complaining while on the field.
