Is there any doubt now that officials are crooked?

Every team has legit gripes every game, sometimes it seems like Cowboys fans only pay attention when it just happens to this team.

Ouch. I think so too.

I agree, and have thought this way for a while now. They explain away these calls and have everyone agreeing. And then people start believing. Ick.

It's actually rather deflating to come to this conclusion frankly. We all know the team has not been constructed that can overcome one sided officiating if the script says they're supposed to lose. I know you think they don't much care about the outcomes as long as it's a close game which has some merit.. but I always come back to the fact that it only takes two or three calls or non-calls to completely shift the momentum of a game and have the inferior team playing with confidence and the superior team staring into space looking for answers. The talent gap is not wide enough for those two or three calls not to have a major impact.

Jerry has the power to fix this. All of these officials have other jobs outside of the NFL...

So you want these officials to lose the jobs that provide for their families over a damn game? Dude get a life.

They PUT Brady in the 2017 super bowl vs PHILLY. And it was blatantly obvious. I truly believe that Bortles just gave up after that champ game, because he wasn't terrible before that, but then just never seemed to be able to play again. Ruined his career, and I can't say that I blame him.
 
It is clear that Parsons, who is held on nearly every rushing play, and being robbed of his legacy by officials and the NFL will only reach critical mass with the voices on here and elsewhere. There simply is no other explanation for no holding calls over the course of the season than a directed effort either by officiating crews or front office NFL direction. Incompetence would allow for intermittent calls and we dont even have that.

If this was argued in a court of law by a competent attorney’s arguing lack of good faith by the nfl, who direct the officiating, with a seasons worth of holding evidence and no calls, Parson could seek damages in the millions. His career and legacy is concertedly being damaged by the NFL. And no attempt to resolve the glaring and blatant mistreatment of Parsons.

Continue to sound the horn people. This should never happen to any player or any team but there is clear and convincing evidence of foul play here. Incompetence does not explain the empirical evidence, though I do believe that we see gross incompetence as well.

On the bright side, the Eagles were called for I think 9 penalties against the Giants -in Philly. that had to be a shock to their system. They even called Lane Johnson for holding - which seems very iffy to me. Maybe the league is hearing all the complaining about the refs and trying to make sure it does not look too one sided. If the Lions get a holding call for tackling Micah next week, perhaps all the complaining is doing some good.

The league does stuff like that. Make it appear to even out the calls, but in a game that Philly will most likely win anyway. I believe.

Oh man aint that the truth. I was watching one game I don't know if it was last night or Sunday night where the "studio ref" comes on to explain to us why a certain call had been made. Meanwhile the replay was showing the exact opposite of what he was saying.. I think it was a holding call where he was trying to sell us that the blocker had grabbed hold of the defender's jersey and gotten has hands outside the frame of the torso. The replay showed no such thing. The blocker never grabbed anything and his hands never showed outside the frame of the defender, but he just kept talking about it as thought it was patently obvious. To his credit, during our game, Dean Blandino refused to cosign several of the crappy calls and non-calls on Sunday. I was actually surprised to hear him say on more than one occasion "I just don't see a foul there.." The NFL has a problem.. this officiating powder-keg is running out of fuse and is about to blow up all over the league. It's just a matter of time before somebody squeals. They're gonna piss off the wrong ex-employee and he's gonna sing like Aretha Franklin.

I see it as well that refs seem to screw us, but why have a conspiracy against the richest most popular team in the world in any sport to keep them from winning? I know Goodell is a Giants fan but still makes no sense.

because most everyone but Cowboys fans hate the team. It is what comes from being America's team and having the largest single fan base.

why would we care what penalties other teams get? if the referee's are making bad calls against multiple teams it is time for the NFL to do something about it, so MORE fans should complain MORE often to get that done.

You get a life. They're destroying what we have worked so hard to build. Plenty of fans pay to watch these games and Jerry invests hundreds of millions each year. Lots of people's jobs are at stake and these officials are ruining it for everyone.

So yes, if they want to be crooked they need to suffer the consequences. These players work their ***** off and for these scumbags come in and destroy all of it is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen.

Exactly, just because it's happening to other teams does that make it right? No it doesn't. I can't wait there are still people defending the refs.

What gets me is that some will say there is no bias and then turn around and say things like that Jerry is responsible since he wanted to fire Goodell, and that Micah complaining is only going to make the refs not call holding more - well, both of those are stark examples of rigging games... just like we have been saying.

Except we've been doing the research and showing the proof in historical stats. Where's the evidence that this happening to every other team? Show the stats to counter what we have presented - here's a clue - you can't, because what you are claiming isn't true.
