The 4 trips to the red zone that equaled only scoring 1 TD was more disgusting then the officiating.

Don't leave the outcome in the hands of the refs. Simple.
And that’s still not the reason why we lost the game.

It's ALWAYS an excuse. You hardly hear a peep when we win. But when we lose it's, "Oh the trials and tribulations I have seen on the gridiron!"

It's whiny, weak, victim talk like you'd get out of high schoolers talking about how teachers are "hating" on them.

When was the last time we got a game changing call in the last 5 minutes that we shouldn't have gotten, that led to us winning??? I'll be sitting here weeks for you to answer that one!!!

.....in the Packer game. Saints QB was sacked hard, a legit sack. Roughing the passer was called on crucial 3rd n long. The announcer exploited it saying, wheres the foul? Saints got 1 n 10, scored 2 plays later.

>>>>>> Gordy better fix that. Fans will only take so much.
I thought the announcer meant "where in the heck is there a foul" when he made that statement. Meaning he didn't really see a foul on the sack either.

All of you complaining in this thread need some cheese with that whine. The refs are not perfect, never have been, never will be. It's time to get over whatever has made your butt sore and move on.

I don't know which is worse, the flippant way the refs assign penalties, or the way that Chris Collinsworthless feels to the need to talk over their conversation, as if to cover for them. Put that together with the forearm to the throat OPI that was deliberately ignored, or Brady's intentional grounding that occurred at the :25 second mark.

It's all adding up to a sickening display of football. Actually, whatever this is, it certainly isn't football played by the rules.


I thought I was the only one yelling at the tv for intentional grounding. I haven't heard anybody else anywhere mention it.

People are complaining about the OPI because it was a critical call that was rather obvious and could've changed the outcome of the game. What they called the rest of the game is not relevant.

So 1 play in a 60 minute game was the difference maker? That's desperation.

Did you forget the Detroit playoff game in 2014? The officials threw the flag for PI on Hitchens and then picked it up without saying anything. There was that Philly game where either we got a fumble we didn't really get or vice versa. Those are just the big ones but you can literally find bad calls/no calls in our favor all the time. But when we get them, then it's "about time we got one" after whining that you "just want a fair game called." Either you do or don't. You don't. You want principle to bend to what you want at the time. At least be up front about it and stop pretending to be about something virtuous.

1 Good swipe by Jaylon and we would have won that game. All we needed was 1 swipe.

I remember the Detroit game actually. They should've picked up the flag because Hitchens didn't interfere. He was pulled into the player when he grabbed his facemask and pulled him into his body (which, surprise, also wasn't called). So they made the right call there. And no, I really don't want a fair game called. I want it called to favor us. That basically never happens though so at least they could call a game to not screw us over in pivotal moments by calling things like holding (the thing that happens on basically every play) or not calling penalties that happen right in front of them.

When you have human beings involved, the odds of human error go up exponentially.

I believe Winston also threw a pick on that play that was negated. Absolutely horrible call.

TB had more penalties and penalty yards than Dallas so please stop with the ref blaming.
tampa bay played sloppier ball than us.Tampa didn't have a blatant miscall that could have contributed to the cause of the loss. I don't have a problem with penalties being called if player is guilty. I do have a problem with officials not being in position and inconsistency

The Cowboys got away with some holding calls too see it all evens out. But I will say in general the officiating has not be very good the last few years and week 1 did not change my mind. A lot of bad penalties called and some missed.
