There were so many outlandishly bad calls today--in different games. It's really bad, folks.

I was just watching for love of the game...no bets on games...I don't do fantasy so I'm not talking about my team or my guys.

-Cam really is taking some crazy hits with no calls
-Arizona had repeated phantom penalties
-Green Bay game had strange booth review overturn

I don't like what I'm smelling.

The game might be getting too fast for some of those guys with the funny hats.

Its incumbent on the Cowboys offense to put pressure not only on the Eagles defense, but the officials as well. Make 'em HAVE to make the calls. Speed kills. Time to turn up the throttle.....

Some of the calls in the Seattle game were baffling to the point of seriously wondering about fixing.

There was an out of bounds play at the end ruled inbounds which cost Seattle a timeout which was bizarre as well.

I'm actually against instant replay. IMO it has given an armchair ref in New York far too much leverage. The game has become unwatchable with so may ads and replays. How about younger full time refs instead of instant replay?

Yeah, I don't watch much college but the officiating there seems far superior and less a part of the outcome .

I didn't see that game. Add it to the ever-growing list.

Josh Norman got called for five penalties today. He went off on it after the game, specifically calling out the ref. He felt the fine was worth it.

Maybe they were all justified. I'd sure like to see those plays.

It was the same stuff he pulled against Dez. He nearly took Dez's shirt off and never got called. I sense a trend with this dude. When he goes against a top 5 wideout he holds like crazy and prays he doesn't get called. His pants dropped today.

I saw some of them, maybe three. All were pretty clear penalties. But I'd argue a lot of DBs pull a lot of stuff that doesn't get flagged. Gives refs even more power to influence outcomes.

Not worried about the officiating, more concerned about getting away from what got us here, the running game.

Control what we can control and take full advantage of our strengths, let OL attack and physically wear out that Eags defense that has proven susceptible to the run. Going pass happy is just playing into Philly's hands. Garrett just can't be cute right now.
