Here's a look at Witten definitely not getting held, and setting up a first down and goal

Funny, I was typing the same thing as you posted it.

Haha. It is extremely difficult to say one side is not getting obvious bias when a team is down big, and that just isn't called.

Does anyone have a replay of that last pass from Rodgers to Cook? I didn't get to see the line, but some dudes are saying Irving or somebody was held

Yeah he was.

I just watched it again, and it's text book.

They swallowed their whistles on that play, probably not expecting much.

 

[Nova]

Irving was tackled, not held. Definitely a penalty but I bet I could find plays where Dallas wasn't called if I went back over the tape. Brown completely threw the WR off his route, I don't have a problem with that call. I have a big problem with the call on Witten being tackled in the End Zone but its also a play were the ref is screened from view of the play.

Yeah I don't mind the fact that they called something, but it's not "PI" because the ball hadn't been thrown. And also, it would have been uncatchable if it was "PI".

At worst, holding or illegal contact.

But again, the no call on Irving was the most egrigous.

Who knows what would have happened. Gotta throw that flag there. Just BS.

 

[Tass]

I don't understand. Is holding still against the rules or not? I see the rulebook definition of holding happen EVERY play but the refs don't call it. I see DBs grabbing jerseys of receivers almost every play with no consequences. I mean, wth NFL?

no idea what the title is for

Considering what they let us get away with, I was okay that it wasn't PI.

But again, I can't think of the calls that against GB that offset the Brown PI and Irving hold.

 

[RamziD]

What ticked me off the most was the hands to the face by Mo. I didn't see it at all on the replay. That would've been a punt by GB, but instead they went on to score a TD.

Yea we had holding calls but they were really nothing compared to the importance of the plays that went against us

That's what sticks in my craw.

The timing of their calls and no calls.

In a close game, that was the difference.

Sure; take it out of the zebra's hands. But that's going to bother me for a long time

Another awesome call here:

Mike Pereira pretty much summed it up. His comments were harsh but very accurate

link, or summary quote?

 

[SultanOfSix]

I'm absolutely disgusted by the reffing. That was the most atrocious display of obvious bias I have ever witnessed. GB was getting away with holding on the offensive line all day and that last non-call on Roger's last pass was inexcusabley uncalled. I'm done with this game. There is no longer any doubt in my mind that it is a rigged game as far as biased officiating is concerned.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Okay, this really grinds my gears.

what really really grinds my gears is that there is an official that his only job is to look for these infractions.

 

[sacase]

Another awesome call here:

Thats the wrong call the rule specifically says he has to communicate with someone on the field. He didn't, so no penalty.

 

[sbark]

You can never leave it up the refs. This game was lost in the abysmal first 22 minutes.

problem is, that "huddle call" set the tone for a young team coming off a bye week in the 1st 10minutes......

Best to ask Blandino about the definition of a "established huddle"..........

29 offensive holding call against us for 274 yards..18 beneficiary holding calls for 177 yards. We had the 5th most called against us & tied for 5th least beneficiary called for us. The officials suck. The NFL sucks.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Another awesome call here:

and that was somehow a huddle?. If I had to guess, that exact call probably has been called less than 3 times since it's inception.

 

[dwreck27]

If anyone talks about games being fixed by the NFL I always point them to us... If any team would get calls to help with revenue for the NFL it would be the cowboys getting big calls and winning a super bowl...

 

[ryanbabs]

Let's not forget the helmet to helmet on Beasley. That or a face mask happened to him a lot this season without being called.

 

[CowboyStar88]

One last thing on that Butler flag, there was another flag on the play but it was picked up.

So my question(s) are was that against Greenbay? Why was the flagged picked up? And if it is against the Packers isn't it offsetting? Or does a personal foul supersede that?
