Jerry not happy with officiating

[Wayne02]

Obviously, I did because I just told you. No need to Internet fight, dude.
We lost. It's over. Sure would've been nice to see a holding call on 3rd and 20.
You know, because there was a blatant "tackle" in the middle of the field by a
GB OL (70).

They fought back and came up short. Overtime would've been fun.

Yea it would've been, NFL refs are garbage period, they've done a terrible job all year and it needs to be addressed.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Yeah, you said that already.

And it means nothing that he said it. Missed calls occurred upon both sides. However,

2 missed holds on the DAL != 6-8 missed holds on GB. Nor 2 actual penalties GB != 6 or 7 for DAL. Math.

Not to mention the fact that the penalties that went against us gave them first downs or huge conversions or backed us up. The officiating was biased no matter which way you cut it. They had like two penalties for like 20 yards, if that, the impact of them was minimal.

 

[Wayne02]

Again, name one that changed the outcome of a drive.

When GB was backed up towards their own end zone, the receiver was held on 3rd and 9 and they had to punt, giving us great field position.

And GB got away with a hold in the end zone on the same play.

Again, when did those 3 PIs Change the outcome of a drive?

 

[Kaiser]

I've never seen a sport more decided by officials. And that is why viewership is down. It's rigged. Officials control all.

I wouldn't say its rigged, but its slanted to keep games close during the regular season so more people watch and advertising revenue stays high.

In the playoffs I think its shaded to certain teams so they get the best story, and from that the best ratings . From the press this week, it does seem like they want the story to be "Aaron Rodgers comes back and wins the Super Bowl".

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Officiating in the NFL is bad in general. It's not a bias towards any specific team. It's the innate subjectivity of the rules. Nothing feels more fake than when Fox drags out Mike Pierra to justify some call. It's absurd. You can justify almost any call because the rules are so incredibly subjective. That's not the issue. The issue is whether or not the call is being applied evenly among both teams. That's what I care about.

You can reasonably argue that biased officiating evens out over the course of the 16 game season. However, in a single game elimination tournament, appealing to the aggregate just doesn't cut it.

Again, if that was the case, those penalties should have offset and GB should've been able to replay the down.

 

[Doomsay]

I still think the worst call was the non-hold on Witten. The one ref was looking right at the play and the DB had his arm wrapped around his waist. Even Buck was wondering where the flag was.

Even buck - in the end, that was the margin.

Yeah but even it being shaded to favor certain teams storylines to me that's rigged. Just call it fair. This isn't a movie. Who cares about the best storyline. You so sick of the same 4 teams just being in it. I've never been more disinterested in the NFL in my life. Same old story

Bs, rewatch this game and our last GB playoff game. The bias in both is entirely one sided and game changing.

 

[Bizwah]

Fine, but you're trying to equate replaying the down, with us getting the ball 1st and goal from the one....or us having the ball first and ten inside the twenty.

Both those calls resulted in points off the board (almost directly) for us.

Big difference between that and 3rd and 9 being replayed.

 

[Don Corleone]

Refs didn't do us in - we did.

They sure offfered an obliging push.

Yup and I said it in another thread and those for me are so telling that the league has it out for us for some reason. And it's hard for me to get worked up and invested knowing we have a target on our back. I think in private the whole league just truly despises Jerry and looks for ways to stick it to him.

The rules are written vaguely so that the NFL has the ability to shape outcomes to their desire. NFL is entertainment first. With so much money on the line it would be foolish to let fair play decide the outcome.

 

[MileyDancer]

GB and NE Super Bowl

I'll be rooting for ISIS.

 

[mugsybows]

This. Everytime there was a big play we did it was a penalty. Would be three and out and a ticky tack hands to the face called on mo. Pi on brown that wouldn't have got called if it was on them. It just seems like the refs were looking for stuff to call on us.

I said the same thing to my fam. I feel like everything is in the rule book vaguely so that they can bring it out if need be. I've also never seen a team like ours shape and define the rule book so much. Roy Williams used to pull guys down by their pads so horse caller is made, he becomes ineffective because of it. Emmitt used to love taking his helmet off after touchdowns. They write a rule penalizing him for doing that. Dez defining what a catch is or isn't. And now this huddle rule in the back of the book that of course is brought out by us. Give me a break.

 

[greatwallofdallas]

Before this game I said GB would beat the Cowboys last minute. And all I hoped for was fair officiating because I had a feeling that would affect the outcome.

Now we may see Rodgers vs Brady and Rodgers will win it all with a little officiating help along the way.

Yup all because they love that little run the table sound bite. So weak

Let's hope Atlanta has something to say about that. Maybe their owner and coach won't just bend over and take it the way ours do.....
