Did the Bears pay off the refs?

[parchy]

What the hell was all that about? At least half of the crap we got called for was BS, and they don't get called for anything? We had like eight times as many penalties.

And we STILL murdered em. Take that, Chicago mobsters.

 

[cowboys#1]

i agree, that so called block in the back, the to offensive PA. and the flo hold during julius' long run....refs sucked tonight

 

[DallasEast]

If they didn't get paid off, they should demand that the city of Chicago pay them for keeping their home team in that game, that's for sure.

 

[CowboyJeff]

Despite all the penalties, the Cowboys still whooped them. That's what championship teams do.

 

[FLCowboyFan]

The first half was VERY frustrating!! There were two calls that accounted for 20 yards on O and killed two drives. There were also a number of penalties that didn't get called against the Bears :bang2:

 

[dbair1967]

unquestionably the most one sided, poor officiating job of any game I have seen so far this yr

some of these calls were just absolute b/s

I bet we lost 100+ yds of offense and at least 7-10 pts because of crappy officiating

[Parche]

Yeah, they were awful tonight, what makes this win taste a lot better .

 

[bbgun]

Two missed horse-collars by Chicago. That holding call on Flo downfield was absurd.

 

[Teague31]

don't get me started on the end of the 1st half... there was 3 seconds on the clock when ware sacked grossman and they screwed us.

 

[STSINAZ]

oh they definitely wanted them to win...

You're being conservative and you know it.

I guess they didn't pay enough.:laugh2:

That was one of the most piss poor officiating jobs I've EVER seen. The ref runs in, gets confused after Grossman goes down and tells them to WIND THE CLOCK. I mean, what the hell?!?! That's reffing 101. Change of possession = clock stoppage.

Idiots. I hope those tools don't call any more Cowboys games this year.

After the situation with the NBA ref, I'm more suspicious about poor officiating.

The series of calls in the first half was bad enough that the NFL should put their security people on that crew.

They're either pathetic or criminal.

 

[zeromaster]

Yeah definitely 4-5 calls/non-calls that just make you lose all respect for the officials and the league's lack of consistency.

They should make these clowns face questions after the game, just like the players.

I asked during chat whether Goodell could suspend refs. I'll bet that others thought that I was kidding, but I was serious. Dead serious. Those guys were crazy stupid tonight.

I totally agree...it was just unexplainable

either this crew is the most incompetent ever, or they are corrupt...just pathetic

First quarter no call on the arm bar on Clayton.

 

[trickblue]

We could have had an extra 14 without the refs tonight...

 

[lspain1]

This is the first time in a long time I feel the officiating in a game was one sided. I've seen poor officiating from time to time in the NFL, but it has virtually ALWAYS been even handed. Not tonight. The Cowboys got a bad deal from the refs and were able to overcome it. Michaels and Madden were forced to mention things on several oocasions and they are pretty even handed with their commentary.

We won, but it sure looked fishy tonight, and I'm not talking about anchovies.
