Twitter: Hopefully Brad Allen will not be MVP of this game

[shabazz]

Interesting only 1 ref threw more flags on the home team of the 17 refs...2 had an even amount and 14 threw more against the visiting team. That looks like home team cooking to me.

yup, there is some interesting data in those stats

Sorry, but you'll never be able to convince me Rodgers and GB haven't received beneficial treatment from the officials.

I have argued that 4 teams get the benefit of the doubt from the refs. The Patriots, Steelers, Giants and Packers. I get that the Maras, Rodney’s, Krafts of the world are well respected by Goodell and the league but really can’t explain the Packers.

Oh please! Show us the punishments that "supposedly" happen to these lawyers and librarians or give us full time dedicated officials. But your fair play league doesn't want that or they would have made this change years ago

Bad calls happen and believe of not some of those calls go in the Cowboys favor, these are humans doing a tough job. The league put in replay to try and ensure fairness in calls. I think it funny how fans no matter what team always act as if the refs are against them. As for you full time officals? I don't see MLB as any better the only difference is MLB will eject a player who questions call or they will walk off the field.

here you go. This is pretty bad. It definitely looks like he purposefully tackled that safety. Doesn’t seem accidental at all

Don't show this to @MountaineerCowboy . He'll deny this to the grave...even though the evidence is crystal clear. Then he will come up with more bull rhetoric demonizing anyone who states the obvious and clear evidence, all the while he tries to lift his collar up as if he's so cool and correct.

And why the ejection? To protect their incompetence? Replay would show (95%) of the time whether the all powerful umpire or referee was right or not. Are both leagues that afraid of showing officiating incompetence? And this isn't just about Dallas. You can watch any game and see the problem. If you want to see it that is. And don't boor me with the "Oh it will slow down the game" nonsense. I'll guarantee you the majority of fans would rather see the correct call made...for their team or against it.

It shows that full time or part time you will always have bad calls. Hell if you think it is rigged why would you watch it? Ref do the best they can if you have issue with it then that is your issue. I wish all calls were good and my team never lost and our players were perfect but that is not reality. Reality is mistakes are made it is part of being human, glad to hear you are perfect never make mistakes.

Number of penalties is irrelevant. What is relevant is breakdown of types of penalties. I dont care if home team has 0 false starts and visitors 5 (which usually visitors commits more) or offsides, too many players,... where the penalty is clear. I care more for judgment flags.

Read all his posts as if he’s a sicko eagles fan and they all make a lot more sense.

The Packers are the oldest NFL franchise - entered the league in 1921 (Giants - 1925, Steelers 1933).
Also, the Packers have the most NFL titles with 13....9 before the Super Bowl Era and 4 since.

Reality is also trying to eliminate said mistakes to produce a better product. The technology exists to do this. Use it. And don't worry if it shows that your buddy Frank that you refereed with for years makes the wrong call. Override him for the good of the game. And the integrity of the Shield that Roger goes on and on about And if the call goes against Dallas and IS shown to be right then so be it.

My buddy frank? I agree, always looking to improve. I do know however both as a person who played ball and as a fan, perfection will not happen.

Yet, statistically it is impossible to have this percentage of flags thrown in favor of the home team without some degree of bias towards the home team.

Yep. Totally agree. Definitely another team's troll here in disguise as a Cowboys fan. The sad thing so many have fallen for his trollish act.

Ya gotta respect the owners, when the owners are the fans. That's the only thing about the Packers I don't despise.
