The officiating in our games. Is it just me

[Everson24]

or do we seem to constantly get the short end of the stick? The refs pick yesterday to emphasize the pick play? And the play on third down that Mo made to stop a drive was nearly textbook technique. Yes he did (barely) touch his arm just before the ball got there but it had absolutely had no bearing on the play and it is rarely that that close against us. That continued a TD drive. These two calls were an 11 point swing that the home team did not need especially when you consider all that we were up against.

I also wonder if there is a stat that show how many pass blocking holding calls the Giants have gotten against us in the last 10 years? They never got called even when Spencer, Ratliff and Ware were in their prime. Watching many games this year there seems to be a bias towards the Giants and Steelers and a bias totally against anything Dallas Cowboys.

This season just makes the bogus Dez overturned catch all the more painful. Am I wrong about the officiating? Is it just me?

The penalty on the McFadden screen was awful.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

I wouldn't say it's systematic but when you get a Huge td overturned(cmon when's the last time someone made a play like that on offense) it does seem to show *some* personal bias. Like that gets A flag ? Come the **** on


Even my gf agreed and she's not smart

 

[Idgit]

Normally it evens out, but the questionable early game changing calls yesterday were game changers.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Butler almost submitted a textbook example to the league on what TO do. He even had his hands to the side which instinctively is very hard to do. Bizarre

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I thought Mo did interfere...he had both arms around him while the ball was in the air.

On the int by Cassel on the deep throw that fluttered, Williams is running, sees the ball is short and tries to slow down....the Giants CB runs directly into him with his back turned to the ball and hinders him from coming back to the ball which is intercepted. That is textbook pass interference.

The McFadden screen was horrible and even the league apologist Perierra admitted it really wasn't what the league is trying to stop.

The one pass that Randle beat Carr on the side, he clearly pushed off extending his arm, which they say they will always call, yet he wasn't called.

So yes, I do think we got hosed by the officials. Always seems to happen. Even the interception that got overturned, it was questionable that there was a clear shot showing that.

I saw an article saying the last time we had this crew we had double the amount of penalties on us.

I hate, hate, hate using officiating as an excuse but having a reference point as a former college basketball referee - that guy who called the pass interference was looking to throw his flag. He wanted to. Nowadays you hold your breath on every scoring play because you expect a flag and we all know there's enough calls that are right.

Throwing a flag on that play was disgraceful. I'm glad Troy called him out on it on national television.

No, it's bad in all games.

There are just too many rules to begin with, and too many nuances to each rule.

The NFL needs to just throw the rule book in the trash and start over. It should be five-page pamphlet, not a five-book reference book series.

When the "network officiating expert" is wrong half the time on replay reviews, you know that NOBODY really knows the rules, not even the referees.

 

[RunDMC]

Officiating has screwed us over for years. It's nothing new.

Don't do this, the officiating in every game this year has been historically bad and the Pats are the only team getting away with bs calls.

 

[Sydla]

When Perreira basically admits he can't understand a call, then you know it was a bad call. He's always covering for the NFL.

 

[Section446]

It's just you, officiating is horrible all over the league.

Interesting point. Like a lot of people still swear that hitchens interfered with pettigrew last year in the playoffs. It FELT like a penalty. But it really wasnt. And technically speaking you're right i thought that too, that Williams clearly was interfered with, but it doesn't FEEL like a penalty bc it was an awful pass and the safety was all over it anyway.

It's like how romo won't get a roughing call. It doesn't really feel like a penalty bc he's always running around anyway.

I think you're right. He was thinking I've been told to emphasize this rule here's my chance. He really picked like the worst possible play

 

[Everson24]

This was a blatant push off by Antonio Brown and the ref was right on the play. It nearly changed the outcome of their game. I cant believe there is no bias in NFL officiating.
Believe me it was much worse live.

It really is a league-wide problem.

 

[Everson24]

It's just you, officiating is horrible all over the league.

You haven't watched may Steeler games this year have you?

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I thought mo interfered but I've seen that not called

The patty cake on McFadden run was bs. You know how I Know? Airman and pereira agreed it was call that should have never happened.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

As I always say...we seem to get screwed by the refs badly in at least 1 of the games against the Giants.

Honestly, I was expecting worse since we really didn't have a bad time with the refs in the first game.

But, gotta love Troy trying to make that awful call the same as the 'bad call' on the unsportsmanlike penalty on the Giants on that play.

Our awful call costs us 31 yards and a TD.

Their awful call cost them 2.5 yards and no downs (it was 1st down anyway). But in Troy's mind...that's a 'makeup call.'
