20 Penalties for 164 Yards

[MWH1967]

Did anyone else find the penalties annoying? Good grief, just let them play!

I appreciate the refs but, when it's the focal point of the game it bums me out.

maybe it's just me?

 

[JayFord]

they have a betting line to meet...

and i also watch Colorado football

20 for 164 sounds like Colorado alone

Some crews do seem more officious and pernickety than others for sure. A lot of penalties does disrupt the flow of the game, in any sport.

 

[erod]

That crew is like that.

The teams know who the tight crews are. The Cowboys made way too mental mistakes yesterday that made the game much more difficult. Not a smart football team.

They miss calls that would benefit the Cowboys all the time. This one should have been hands to the face at least:

That whole play caused the fumble illegally and got the Chargers back in the game who almost got pick 6’ed a play prior.

Ridiculous that whole call.

yeah this is why i hate reffing crews calling games really tight
Call all the ticky tack stuff then let egregious stuff go

Seen many holding calls on Dallas DL by LAC OL, not called. They did finally end up with 3 calls though.

The DPI on Gilmore was horrible.

I seen a few hold on Dallas OL that were missed, but were maybe be the the questionable area as well.
I noticed this year, the TV are not replaying all the penalties as they used to do showing why as well explaining it.
Like they are covering it up not to show how bad they are, the refs.

Now they have this excuse Blandino was saying in one of the Sunday games. The NFL office have extra cameras and angles and multiple screens they can compare different angle simultaneously. Making excuses to protect the refs. That is probably true, but when it is a bad call, and everyone sees it, it all sound bogus.
I think it was a call in the Philly game where Hurts was called short of the 1st down. There was no conclusive evidence he made the 1st down. But yet they reversed it, and that was when Blandino mentioned that.

The pregame fight set the tone for the officiating. The refs weren’t going to let either team get away with anything.

They went overboard and missed Dak hit in head. PI on chargers and the face mask on Tolbert re the punt debacle

Like that seeing eye dog Jpeg

Flagrant is ok. When the Refs become the point of topic at the water cooler, it's too much.

Another who doesn’t know the rules. All this complaining because you don’t know what happened

 

[Hennessy_King]

I wonder how many penalties were actually called. I think like 4 on us were declined. crazy how undisciplined this team is.

Gave ya like just for pernickety. I haven’t seen that used on CZ before. Good job.

 

[cristglo]

They may have been flag happy but there’s no excuse for our DL being off side so many time. It’s just unreal to be there close to the ball and still be lined up in the neutral zone.

I’m no rule expert so I won’t make any definitive statement about interference on this play, but what @MarcusRock posted last night indicates an infraction probably should've been called. It hinges on whether Tolbert was considered a “passive” player. That’s seemingly undefined so there's room for inconsistency in making the call.

Now, the hands to the face is pretty blatant and I don’t think there’s latitude in calling that - they just missed it. I’ve seen DBs called for that jamming a WR at the line.

There is an easy solution - make penalties reviewable.

Hands to the face was missed, the no interference on a fair catch was because he was engaged with a blocker and the blocker hit Turpin, no different from a blocker pushing a punt rusher into the punter no penalty.
