NFL refs Lack of Quality or Crooked

[RoboQB]

If you want to blame the refs go ahead. That’s weak! I have a post on the board from just the other day saying if the Cowboys lose some will blame the officiating. Lol

No, I'm just not going to say we lost the game in the first half.
Which is your implication.

 

[HanD]

Had we taken care of business it wouldn’t have mattered. Dak threw a couple of picks and our defense played like crap.

I think both can be true. We shouldn't have been in that position and should take blame for that BUT the refs suck and the officiating in OT did cost us a potential win.

I never said or implied that we lost the game in the first half. We were tied at the half but could’ve been better position had it not been for the mistakes. We were still able get up by 14 points but the game was lost in the fourth quarter and OT.

I like Greg Olsen but he’s borderline blind sometimes. He just kind of misses stuff

Announcers lose their job if they go too hard on the refs.

 

[black label]

the cowboys sucks croked

 

[DogFace]

Offsides on a receiver. Will we see that again all year on any team?
The hold after a first.
And a very clear Pi on 3rd down.


Those plays have a major impact on the game.

He was clearly offsides.

It’s not even debatable. Most receivers have enough brain power to understand where the marker is in relation to their body.

Though I would bet if you watched all the games there were probably a couple of dozen instances where receivers were offsides, and the refs don't call it.

Can't complain about the call, I agree, it was the CORRECT call, but in that situation, on the Cowboys? I get folks' anger...

Yes. He was. And the ref should have told him that. That’s why they ask the ref nearly every play and are answered.

He said he asked and was answered. I assume he is telling the truth.

Has to be one of the two, you don't miss a PI call like the one on Lamb in OT on a game winning drive unless you are one of those two options. You don't let Micah get held 1/2 dozen times or more during a game and not call it unless you are one of those two options.

Wow I really hope this sentiment is the minority here. To ACTUALLY believe the NFL is out to get us... to completely ignore all the calls that are incorrect and go in our favor, to forget those, and hold our breaths like spoiled little toddlers having a temper tantrum. There's nothing quite as immasculating as being a crybaby...yet so many people in here look like they need their binky and paci, and a nap. IT....ALL....EVENS....OUT. EVERY....FAN...THINKS...THEIR...TEAM.....GETS...ROBBED. repeat this, until it sinks in...then dust urselves off and start acting like men!

Waaannnhhhhh, but the refs REALLY hate US...all the others teams fans just don't understand what we go thru...waaannnnnnhhhhhh Sniff Sniff.

Disgusting

The NFL is the only professional sports league without full time officials.

Think on that.

We hear all the time how coaches and players have to be dedicated to their craft year round to be the best.

why should the officials be any different?

So you are going with incompetent.. Got it, that is mostly where I am. It is time for full time referees that do the job correctly and do away with these part timers who's position they hold are influential to the integrity of the game.

Troll on and away.

From dc.com

Tolbert said he had checked with the down judge Sarah Thomas.

"I lined up, looked to the side and she told me to back up," Tolbert said. "I did."

Tolbert didn’t back up enough.

How is stating facts trolling?

I ASSUME you realize the refs aren't "out to get us" and that over time, we benefit from incorrect calls as much as we are hurt by them. In fact, back in the 90s, Irvin got away with so much by the refs he single handedly impacted how Off PI is called... without his constant illegal pushing off which the refs always and incorrectly allowed, who knows if we would have won all 3, or any, of those superbowls.

That said.... I do agree that seeing these old codgers old-man-running around out there in stripes is crazy, for a mega corporation like the NFL. Just goes to show its a good ole boys league.

 

[Blast From The Past]

1000% crooked. The nonsense happens at the most critical times too often

Now, now we have football purist who read these threads. Can't be all complaining about refs integrity on here. As the purist will tell you that being a conspiracy theorist isn't allowed in the game of football. But I ain't one of them purist. I get sick and tired of us doing something good in a game just to see laundry on the field and the calls going against us. Especially in crucial situations. No calls when our receivers get mugged and Micah being held/choked on most every play and our linemen being called for ticky tack holding calls especially after a good run play or pass play that makes yardage. Happens at Lambeau on the regular when we play there.

 

[calico]

the NFL controls the games through the refs...have done this for along time now.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Remember Jerry making fun of the refs with his Halloween costume?

And you know what else? I'm tired of all these people trying to make us believe the Earth is round.

Btw that Part Time Referee on that play is a full time sales representative not a qualified and highly committed employee who strives to hone their expertise in the field of officiating.
