Official officiating thread

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

That was supposed to be a 5 yrd hold at the most Rodgers still had the ball when contact occurred.

It was bad. I saw multiple BLATANT holds on GBs OL which were never called including the game deciding catch. Of course Free gets hit with a much more ticky tack call than those non calls on GBs OL. The PI instead of holding was atrocious. The non call on Witten in the endzone the same. Never even heard of the Butler call, but surely that happens frequently enough for someone here to have seen it. Nobody I heard had though. And apparently the Packers just don't commit penalties.

 

[Floatyworm]

I saw a lot of that.

Any GB never had a holding penalty, did they?

Nope....

 

[Brooksey]

I hate to complain about the officiating but they cost us 10 points and gave GB 10 points. THEY decided this game not the players.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Sick of the BS, really.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

I took that same shot from my tv... Nfl should be embarassed by not throwing an ol holding flag once against the Packers ol... We should probably all boycott the rest of the season and see the NFL ratings plummet...

and he was a runner out of the pocket. calling that amount of contact is bush league.

 

[AzorAhai]

Saw this live and there were several more like it. How you miss that on a 3 man rush is nothing more than swallowing your whistle at the end of a game.

 

[Bay10]

That penalty on Butler was klller.

 

[superonyx]

More reason why I don't want my 3 sons watching this flawed sport.

Now watch the media focus on Rodgers instead of the officiating. And then wonder why rating keep dropping

The penalties for Dallas always seemed to come conveniently when there was a big play for Dallas, whether on offense or defense.

 

[gmoney112]

Atrocious. Embarrassing. 3 penalties for 22 yards, "ok".

The "huddle" unsportsman like conduct penalty that I have never, ever seen called, taking away 40 yards, momentum, and more than likely at least 3 points because we were right outside FG range.. The blatant no call on an All-Pro getting tackled at the 5 yard line, AS THE INTENDED RECEIVER, which probably took 4 points off the board.

I thought I saw a pretty bad missed hold in the endzone too when they were fawning over Claiborne's hold, which would have been a safety. The terrible hold call on Free because his man fell down, the Anthony Brown penalty that took away Heath pick.

You could make the argument that 7-10 points were taken off the board for Dallas today, directly from bad officiating. Professionally speaking, that's embarrassing.

Can anybody explain that penalty to me, I've been watching football most of my life (29 years) and had never seen that one. I didn't even see him huddle up with the team, just kind of chilling somewhere in between. That penalty killed our first half.

 

[Ranching]

Ive coached in almost 300 football games and I never blamed the refs for any wins or losses. Blame coaches or players, that's all you can control.

 

[Lodeus]

Two times now I feel the refs suck and ****ed us out of a chance of advancing in the playoffs. I don't think I dislike a team/player more right now than how much I dislike the NFL officials.

 

[landroverking]

Not a fan of the so called All Star Crews.

As a fan I'll still put some blame on the officials. They certainly don't lose games but they haven't help us these last two playoff games.

And if that's so bad that it's the 15 yard variety, what's a 5 yarder? Running on the field and then right off?

I am 52 yrs old and have never seen that and I watch wayyyyyyy too much football. It must be more rare than a drop kick.

I respect that, it's a passionate game. I'm pretty ticked off too, believe me.
