Official officiating thread

Was it offensive or not

 

[ryanbabs]

It was atrocious. Garrett needs to start standing up for the team and getting in their face. GB had what 2 flags?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Offensive. The way Brice Butler ran near Dak and then back off the field was horrible. They should have tossed him from the game. (Sarcasm).

Officiating was awful for both teams

GB did the exact same thing on the first play of there next drive, and the guy was actually IN the huddle unlike Butler

 

[Hawkeye19]

Bad day for the refs for sure...cant let GB tackle Witten at the goaline and then call a ticky tack PI on Brown like that.

That said-- the team came out flat for a quarter and a half and it was just too little too late

 

[Kaiser]

The officiating wasn't the issue, they generally called a good game and let some things go if anything.

Dallas is a very young team and Rodgers played like an elite QB, plus GB got a lot of breaks. Its no consolation, but in the big picture a very young team starting a rookie QB did great to take this game down to last few seconds. And even then it took an absolute highlight reel catch to make it close at the end.

 

[Fizziksman]

that ticky tack PI call that led to the 56 yard FG instead of a pick on an errant throw by Rodgers...

 

[links18]

Hard to say the officiating was horrible, when its about the same quality every game. It is what it is: NFL officiating. Nothing will change unless the league makes an effort to improve it, but there seems no will to take on that challenge.

 

[Lodeus]

Okay, this really grinds my gears.

 

[Doc50]

I saw a lot of that.

Any GB never had a holding penalty, did they?

 

[ryanbabs]

Of course it wasn't called. The Packer loving refs made sure their team left with a W. That interference call told me everything.

Not one. Something needs to be done.

 

[Doomsday]

That last PI call vs Anthony was a flipping joke. First off it was ticky, tack to begin with. And late in the game on 3rd down.

Secondly Rodgers was out of the pocket and the ball was not in the air yet, so you are ALLOWED to maul receivers.

Should of been Heath's 2nd interception, but was a total crock of garbage instead.

Their offensive line was holding all game, you could see jerseys being tugged out over and over, yet not one single call vs their offensive line.

Dallas on the other hand gets a total BS hold and has to over come a 1st and 19 on a big run by Zeke.

 

[BigD16]

All I know is that if you're a ref officiating a cowboys game, you better be well versed on all the obscure rules.

 

[Cmac]

The officiating is horrendous.....especially if you gonna call the tickey-tack on Free during a Zeke run.

 

[Chuck 54]

I felt the officials called it close in the first half, which played against us, and they let things slide later in the game, which helped GB and hurt us again. Certainly unbiased...often calls are picky early and let go later, but it hurt us for sure.

Heath's second INT was definitely uncatchable, but Brown has to know he has safety help deep and not grab. To me that should have been illegal contact and a short penalty, not INT.

 

[CCBoy]

Make the job a full time pay affair, but fine the refs for missing multitudes of holding and grabbing penalties unless it can be high visibility and a game changer.

 

[ryanbabs]

Hopefully the ratings go down even more. Maybe one day the league will learn not to screw one of their biggest audiences.
