Referees?

[ejthedj]

I warned you before the game...

NFL is rigged for Pats to cover up Cheat-Gate.

TO push out, Moss TD, numerous mysterious holding calls, one bringing back a TD and another a 4th down conversion. And worst of all, the PI on the drive after we went up (on Moss/Watkins). Total BS--not complete anyway (too high) and Moss ran into watkins, not other way around. This was the game changing play. We had scored three drives in a row and stopped them once. We take it down and score again and we got a two score lead in the 4th.

WOW--look at the numbers of penalties. It's ridiculous.

The refs were a tad one sided to say the least.

 

[Rissen]

yeah the officiating was bad. It has almost become as bad as the NBA. It looked like our guys were getting held all night trying to get to Brady but I cant remember one holding call on any of their O-line. Pretty frustrating

Or the bogus PF call on Hatcher that lead to NE's FG. He hit Brady on the body, NOT on the helmet.

I don't know if it's whining if you notice it when you win but I thought the Bears and Bills games were rigged against us too. I still believe the Steelers Seahawks superbowl was fixed. Just like today everytime the Seahawks made a big play a penalty would be called against them.

 

[calico]

yeah, i dont want to sound like a sore loser or blame the refs, but someone needs to tell them that penalties go both ways. Time and time again we were put behind the sticks while the pats held ALOT and they were obvious holds and they were never called.

Thats like 2 games in a row the refs have been blatantly one sided.

I will say once again what I said in the game thread:

You can't win. If you have a sense of justice, and you complain about the reffing, it's called whining.

If Belicheat can get away with cheating for several years, it was brushed off as really not helping them at all. So, let's just destroy the evidence.

I'm about as fair a person as can get. At least the people who know me believe me to be. Because I want to win fairly all the time, every time. I don't complain about a lot of things. But, when I do, you can bet there is a legitimate reason for it.

So, please don't call me a whiner because a sense of justice is what drives me. Nothing else.

Agreed. I swear. I am typically not a blame the reffs guy, but the hold on the Barber 4th down run was bull *&#$)(@*#)$*@_)/. The Moss watkins penalty was easily past him when Moss ran into him. I would love to play them again. I do think we played the 1st 2 series intimadated.

 

[Ren]

Really just 2 bad calls the non force out on TO where they even looked at the replay and the Newman (Watkins) PI

The Barber 4th down call was bull?!?!?! Geez Kosier had BOTH arms wrapped around the defender and tackled him.

Now the Moss call was a bad call but not the Barber call.

Even if they thought it was a force out after the replay they couldnt have changed it because it was ruled a regular catch, not a catch by force out.

 

[Clove]

It's not going to make my pain go away - seeing our Dline kill Brady would've made me feel much better.

 

[Bizwah]

No....the call on Kosier was ok.

The problem I had with it was that he didn't really need to hold. He had him sealed off.

I'm still waiting for us to get the, "Since the penalty did not affect the play, there was no foul."

That one's happened to us twice.

 

[ejthedj]

I hate whining about the refs usually, and i see a lot of people who responded here say the same thing.

I saw Wade say "right" after the last holding call (4th down). I think that's when we quit. Too much stacked against us.

Yeah the Kosier call looked legit to me. It is the non calls on the Pat line that killed me.

 

[ajk23az]

12 to 5 in penalties...not a HUGEEE difference but our penalties came at important times.

 

[CNY Cowboy]

I don't consider myself a whiner and I know how it looks when you the blame the officials for losing a game, but I watched the Game today with a few of my best buddies.
One is a devout forskin fan, one is a devout iggles fan and believe it or not two are devout gints fans, and they all agreed that the officiating was questionable at best.
We all agreed that the calls probably didn't cost us the game, but they sure didn't help ,and then again ,who knows???

So, if the CowBoy's arch enemies see what most here on the forum saw ,Well,, it says something.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

I don't know what's sadder, people who thought that Mike Carey was a good ref before the game or the refereeing in the Skins v Pack game where the refs botched more bad calls against the Pack in Lambeau that it made this game look like a cleanly ref'd game.
