It's killed what little fun was still left in the game for me. I no longer celebrate big plays/touchdowns because I expect there to be a flag or it will get called back on review. So to me it doesn't matter if it is all legit or not, I no longer find this stuff amusing.

Just stop with all the whining.

Does no one remember the total gift of a picked up flag that directly resulted in the Cowboys’ winning a home playoff game against DET that they totally didn’t deserve?

Refs suck for everyone. All fans think their team gets boned more than others. All fans are incorrect in this regard.

I agree and not one that complains and yes we were our own enemy but the refs did not help. I have always said it's when the flags happened. Those PI I agree some should have been called and 1 maybe not that lead to a TD. People pay to see the players decide games and not the refs. And yes the lions call was probably the last good call we have gotten.

I'm stuck with this team, but I won't watch the product any further. Love the team, but hate the league.

uncatchable ball and at best you it would be on offsetting penalty considering Peter Pettigrew hanged on to Hitchens face mask.

NFL response:


We recognize that, from time to time, coaches and players feel unduly penalized by the officiating. Those perceptions will, of course, be determined to change the outcome of the game especially where scoring is involved. However, we are confident in the abilities of the officials assigned to each game and cite the years of training and experience each official brings with him or her to the game. The NFL, at this time, has no plans to alter our procedures for officiating teams and would request that coaches and players GET OVER IT.

I mean the guy went after Gruden because he called him a bad name in an email a decade ago.

Im sure he’s not happy with Jerry’s attack on him for what he did to Zeke.

Jerry never wanted him as commissioner. He voted against him repeatedly in their election process. Pretty sure Goodell holds a lifetime grudge.

I'm with the group saying I don't mine the infractions but, no one wants to watch a game with 276yds of flags.

I think for the head coach to publicly blame the refs is bad coaching.

working the refs is big part of a head coaches job. Phil Jackson was able to get so much stuff to go his way because he worked the refs during the game and during the press conferences

Thats not working the refs. You do that during the game.

Can we talk to the league about giving points back from our HC.

And if I was the Raiders I’d ask how officials missed the illegal motion penalty with their Center head bob which kept Cowboys in the game .

I bet our analytical nut didn’t ask about it.

They had no issue letting the Raiders score on a false start from the center so we should ask about that as well.

I thought a few of those PI calls on Brown happen on every play by every corner. Including the raiders. Was it just me or did it seem like they decided they could pick on Brown. One looked legit like the receiver was pushing off and when I saw the flag come out 10 seconds later I assumed it was on the receiver. It was like the refs were looking at each other trying to figure out if they screwed us enough to throw the game.

I quit watching football after week 4. Thus is my first time I logged into anything NFL related. The officiating keeps getting worse, especially since sports betting became legal. I had been a NFL die hard fan for 40 years. I dont know if the clearer resolution and new camera angles make it seem worse or if officiating has truly gotten worse. All I know is games are more infuriating and no longer fun to watch. Dam shame and it isn't surprising the younger generations appear to be tuning out the NFL.

Best of luck fellow consumers. :)
