Can we have a clean game by, my favs, the refs?

The last 2 meaningful Green Bay losses have been tainted by odd, rare, and questionable penalties.

2014
1. The Dez catch should’ve made this game the True Catch game
2. Cobb not catching it before half made what would later happen worse.
3. Clay Mathews mugs Romo 20 seconds after the play. I think it was even low. Maybe not. He’s a criminal either way.
2016
1. The monumental fake substitution penalty. It’s a classic that’s fun for the whole family. Unfortunately it’ll never be called again.
2. The suplex strangle hold close line tackle on Irving. Just saw this again from another angle. It was even worse. Hard to imagine how the ref didn’t see it. Makes the Frederick non hold that much worse.

Can the refs please spare me an outrageously bad call that a comparison for is hard to find or worse one that there is only one of its kind called since 1984 to compare it to, despite the fact that it happened regularly. Add in the fact he didn’t even get in the huddle so it was even applied correctly and it makes it one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. The calls all had a major impact on the outcome.

Someone please lecture me about how the calls go both ways and there is no bias. Bias for stars like Rodgers or against the most popular and hated team. I need it.

I'd settle for no bizarre "launching" calls.
No penalties called against us that have been called once or twice in 30 years.
And rod please don't try to run subs on the field when Rodgers is in hurry up.
I may break the tv if we get our usual 12 men on the field call against Rodgers

Once again, we will get out-coached on the sidelines but also when GB is on offense because Rodgers out-coaches linehan/garrett every day and twice, no, make that 15 times, on sunday

Last year during the playoff game babe talked about how before the game Marinelli was letting the officials know that every time the packers get that 12 man penalty they have guys who are not set.

Also during warm ups babe said last year witten was pleading with the officials to not let the packers db’s hold. He said on film they hold more than any other team.

Sure enough we got caught with 12 men in the field and witten was held and pulled down on what would have been a td but no call and we kicked a fg.

So I imagine the cowboys have a plan for all this and I imagine the staff and the players will be out there telling the officials how much holding they do again. Hopefully it goes our way tomorrow

Given the frequency the Cowboys like to rotate the DL --- pretty much every play... it seems like an inevitability that they will get caught at least once.

This is why I don't like the rotation as much. I mean I like the idea, but Rod seems to do it more than should be.
Also it comes down to coaching, coach them to get on and off the field. Make consequences for those that don't.

any way I feel there will still be some screwed up call, somehow, someway that will lose us the game, or be a part of why we lose.

Being in New England so watching Brady and his treatment in late hits vs. RI'm and his treatment, you'll get no argument from me.

This is a forgone conclusion.

We have to beat Rodgers and the refs every time we play these fools. I would love to win this game on a very controversial call against the Packers, that would be sweet.
Honest question.

Have we ever won a game on a controversial play??
Maybe the Pearson push off against the Vikes was close. Any in the last 30 years?


Anyone that says Detroit playoff smack your mouth.

Thi's is my go to against the "calls even out" crowd. List the crazy calls which were critical to the outcome, for and against. It's like 78-1. At some point a trend is a trend.
