PFT Smith: Wade Phillips upset with officials' mistakes

[GimmeTheBall!]

Because Wade does not foam at the mouth. Phillips was talking with the refs on the sideline and was questioning the call not much else you can do. Because you can't stay calm under fire does not mean others can't. As for being rough on me? Please your a joke all you got is the same BS, you don't like Phillips I get that however the man knows more about this game than you could dream of he has been doing it over 40 years how bout you genius what fricken back ground do you have how many pro teams have you worked for? Yeah Mr. sit on his butt couch coaching fool.

I had no idea Wade could arose that passion within you.

I feel humbled by your defense of Wade.

Perhaps, in those tender moments, you, alone in your room with a big poster of Wade in his stretch-o-matix pants and shirt, you can write in your diary:

Dear Diary, today I schooled a feller zoner on how Wade is the bestest coach in the history of the history of the NFL. Sometimes, I feel so much for Wade that my cheeks get red. And my face cheeks, too! Anyway, I feel being drawn to Wade closer every day and I kneel and pray for his adversaries to face the wrath of the NFL gods, especiallY that mean gimmetheball! who, if there is any justice, will burn in hell until his radio antenna burns and the townfolks with pitchforks and torches gather to cheer over his burnt body. (HE THINKS he is soo cool riding around in his Air Cowboys America van that was made in Albania and getting the girls to swoon when he tosses free T-shirts out the window. Ooooh, I hate him so much!!

Oh, I got a new wade poster today, can't wait to frame it!! That's it for now, dear diary.

:laugh2:

You started this off by claiming Wade was blaming the refs he did not blame the refs if you saw the post game he talked about his own team’s mistakes and failure not the refs. He is now talking with the league office about questionable calls as any other HC would do but he did not blame this loss on the refs as you some lamely tried to claim. As for how I feel about Wade I think he is a good HC who needs to get this team over the hump something this team has not done in a long time if he expects to keep his job. If he can’t then he will be gone. I just don’t care for mindless cheap shots directed at good people.

ah smell fear . . .
Oh, hey, Wade was questioning bad calls. And by extension blaming the bad calls made by officials for losing the game. If Wade is questioning the bad calls just to make news or to get the refs to fear him, he is just wasting his fat time.
Ah think Wade should be working extra hard on his no. 20th or something-ranked defense or yelling at his offensive players -- anything but whining about bad calls.
When a HC has NO playoff victories in his HC resume he has NO TIME for this kinda of hypothetical/what ifs bs. Do you understand that?

If not, just ignore me and go back to your diary!!
Because I cannot get through to yew or your mindless cheap HC.

Why Tom Landry got some bad calls against him over the years not once did he go ape **** on the sidelines or get tossed from a game. All it shows the player is the coach is out of control.

Maybe it shows the players the coach has their backs. OK, getting tossed would be taking it too far. But, I AM calling for a little emotion out of Coach Deputy Dog once in a while. He's a living, breathing, walking shoulder shrug...sometimes I am not sure about the breathing part.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

I've been complaining about this for years. It's not so much that they miss a judgement call like holding or PI, it's that the refs DO NOT KNOW THE RULES. And to make it worse, they are usually terrible with the judgement calls as well.

Seems like that's how it's normally done. Where else could he blind him?

I can hear the confusion coming from joe's keyboard.

I've always felt that the refs are given marching orders before a game,,, some of them are standing marching orders like "Home team gets the 'benefit of a doubt' on close calls" and sometimes they might get special marching orders like, "public perception is that Dallas got some breaks last game so any close calls shouldn't go in their favor", etc,,, how far the refs interpret "benefit of a doubt" is what makes some crews more dubious than others

I know it sounds paranoid, but it does a much better job explaining last weekend than "incompetence", because all the incompetence was one-sided...

 

[Biggems]

what bugs me is the coaches and players get fined for calling out the refs......even when it is obvious the refs were lousy.

IMO, if you are not going to allow the players and coaches to call out the refs.....then when the refs do screw up and the league has to apologize....make the entire crew do it.

also, give each crew a report card. If they score below a certain level, they get suspended for a game.

I agree. They're never impartial. The home team gets the calls everytime.

 

[Biggems]

the bad calls can also cause you to press and thus make more mistakes, trying to overcome the crap the refs are trying to serve you.

its kind of like in the NBA when they give your superstar 2 quick whistles on weak calls in a playoff game. Then when the player comes back, boom another quick whistle....and pretty much the entire game you are having to maneuver around these cheesy calls by the refs that have totally changed your lineup and the way you play the game.

if they dont screw up the call before the half, does Crosby make the 52 yd FG?

if they actually review the felix recovery, it is 3rd and long and we most likely have to punt on the possession, but at least it is still only 10-0.

if they give GB a penalty on their review attempt, then maybe we score quicker. Then we are down either 10-3 or 10-7, with about 6-8 minutes left in the game.

 

[jimmy40]

Wade's just pissed that he didn't get to celebrate a field goal.

 

[Beast_from_East]

That is still sickening. I re-watched the play several times last night.

The referee standing in the backfield can clearly be seen:

• Staring at Woodson dislodge the football from Romo
• Followed the ball as it was rolling on the field
• Watched Jones fall on top of the ball
• Saw the Packer defender fall on top of Jones
• Observed the Packer reach under Jones, twisted Jones' body as he was trying to get ahold of the football and wrestled (key word) the ball from Jones grip

It is beyond stupidity. By definition, Jones had recovered the ball. He was down. The referee was staring directly at the whole sequence of events without his vision being obstructed in the slightest.

People should forget the mistake of reviewing the play because Phillips should not have even been placed in the position to ask for a review in the first place. It has absolutely nothing to do with the review process. The referee did not make the correct call on a recovered fumble that a half-blind individual would have had zero problems both witnessing and determining. THAT'S the issue.

We got screwed all day on calls, either Triplett is the most incompetent ref in the league or there was a blatant attempt to "help" the Packers win.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Wade, if you had a spine, you be calling out some of your players who make mistakes that lead to bad calls.
Wade takes the easy way out of a loss. blame the officials. You can't win your way out of a 10 point loss by blaming the refs.

Be a man for once, and blame yourself, the other coaches and the players.

The team played like dog crap, I am not denying that. However, if anybody watched that game and didnt see extremely one-sided officiating, they are freaking blind.

Yes we played a bad game, but there were also numerous calls that went against Dallas that affected the outcome of the game. Hell, even the officiating crew has owned up to blowing some calls even though jack will be done about it now.

Pointing out obvious officiating errors, one of which gave GB the ball on our own 2 yard line, is not taking the easy way it.........it is telling the truth that officiating did have an affect on the outcome of that game.

Yea, all these guys saying that bad calls even out..........well where the hell were Green Bays bad calls???

All the bad calls went against Dallas, so it cant be just incompetence or else the refs would have missed calls on GB as well. Considering that jack was called against GB, I find this argument laughable.

At the end of the third quarter, it looked like the game was fixed. When there was no penalty in the 4th quarter for the Packers trying to take an extra challenge, it really looked like the game was fixed.

If the NFL wants fans to avoid this perception, it should take steps to ensure this doesn't happen again.

I think it was to make sure Green Bay stayed a playoff contender so they can get big ratings if GB plays Minnesota in the playoffs.

Their plans of no one noticing kinda failed.

Ths game reminded me of the Pitt vs Sea SuperBowl where bogus call after bogus call was made against one team and jack was called on the other.

The refs decided in the SB that Pitt was going to win no matter what and the refs decided Sunday that there was no way in hell GB was going to lose.

Now the refs didnt make RW fumble or drop an easy pass or make our o-line forget how to block, but giving GB the ball on our own 2 yard line and giving the GB punt returned an extra 7 yards before half so they could kick a 52 yard FG defiently affected the outcome of the game. That is 10 points right there which is exactly the amount we lost by.

 

[big dog cowboy]

How about getting upset during the game next time.

I was upset before, during and after that game.

Chances are you're making quite a few baseless assumptions. You might want to consider that publicly crucifying the people you work with causes trouble more often than not. If he were on TV quacking and pointing fingers at his team he'd look like and would be a grade A ******-bag. Other than gratifying some fans, what purpose would it serve?

Somehow I doubt you'd respond well to your boss publically humiliating you.

He can be more effective by treating them with respect and taking it to them in the locker room. Unfortunately, that won't work with the lousy officiating, so he did the right thing and brought it out.

Differences...

I can hear it now. next time a bad call goes the Cowboys way, and it will happen you guys will be saying, "well they owed us that one", 'that is a makeup call'. it;s about time we screwed somebody else instead of gettign screwed even the Cowboys have in the past had as many calls go their way as any other team."

Anybody see the Tampa game this past weekend where the Tampa WR caught the ball was tackled, hit the ground, the ball popped up, Jayson Taylor caught it and ran it back for a TD. Replay showed the receiver down but after the review the ref gave the ball to Miami. It was even more blatant than the Jones non fumble because it was reviewable. Morris went ballistic and received a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. I could not blame him.

As fans we have to face the fact, the refs just are bad. Not trying to fix a game, they just plain out suck. They are old and can not be expected to keep up with the guys they are watching. Replay is needed and probably needs to be tweeked. Triplett has to be one of the worse officials in the game and how he has his job is unreal. But while he is inept, he is not slanting the game toward one team or another. He just does not know any better. As is the case for most officials in the NFL....
