Refs really don't call the games the same

[Galian Beast]

I see numerous penalties that should be called on the steelers or the patriots and nothing...

They just did a bubble screen against the chargers... 3 wide receivers initiated their blocks before the pass was even thrown. No call at all...

I was just talking about this....seems fixed to me. Cowboys are targeted for sure!

For sure!

We need to find the refs secret hideout and burn them at the stake!

Didn't you say you burned up your remote watching all of the games today? I know I did, and I saw lopsided officiating at its finest.

I have no problem with them enforcing the rules, but the refs are being very selective on some calls.

 

[Don Corleone]

BTW, I just witnessed Brady throw away a ball from inside the tackle box with no receiver anywhere near where the ball wound up. No grounding penalty. The Chargers sideline was all over it.

I think they are human and imperfect. I think the blame lies with the NFL for not employing full time officials.

I dont see any favoritism. I see poor job performance all around but in the end, it's still an excuse for losing.

Chargers remind me of the Cowboys with all the stoopid mistakes.

Yep. I didn't think either celebration penalty on us should have been called, but I don't think they're targeting the Cowboys for no reason. I think it's because they have a stigma attached as a team that commits a lot of penalties. The only way to get rid of that stigma is to start playing more mistake-free football.

Guilty until proven innocent? What you just stated describes a bias towards the Cowboys.

I think your outta your mind and dont know what you watch in other games, but would like to know.

There's no way anybody can watch some of the garbage they call on us and say its simply bad luck or just a mistake by the refs. It happens too much.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist. But the reason it's there in the first place is because the Cowboys were playing sloppy football, so the officials look for it more.

If they start playing more disciplined football then they will probably start getting more no calls.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

I don't think guys are whining at all. I do NOT want BS penalties called against teams we play...but I want them to STOP calling them against. Jay Ratliff does not have a sack all year. I refuse to believe he has not been held this year. Have we been awarded a first down because of pass interference? I refuse to believe out WRs have not been interfered with. Again, you don't have to call it against the other team if you don't want to...BUT STOP CALLING THEM ON US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1

Don't get me started on the Steelers/Fins game

What does this mean? I hear it all the time, but...

Officials only work during games...and then what do they do in the offseason?

I just don't get what the means...

Care to explain how that would make a difference?

Agreed.

Heck, if there really were a purposeful bias we would be in the playoffs every year. You think someone is purposely trying to make the team that gets far and away the best TV ratings lose?

 

[Nova]

How about this? Deangelo Hall went to his knees twice (on highlights alone) and presumably wasn't flagged for it (since he did it twice)-- once after his INT for a TD, and another time after another INT. I'm not saying there's a conspiracy, but I get tired teams receiving amnesty for blantant things we're flagged for by committing them to the smallest degree.

Still, if we weren't so dumb, we wouldn't be talking about this.

I think it benefits the NFL more to have teams that don't get much media coverage to get in the playoffs each year so they can get showcased to a broader audience. The Cowboys fanbase is always going to be there. It would seem like it would make more sense for the league to give some of the teams with less coverage more coverage.

Brady doesnt play for the Cowboys.

Then why the supposed Steeler lover, who are probably a very close 2nd to us in nationwide fans?
