The refs/NFL

[Batman1980]

I know this is a bit melodramatic but I have a feeling this is one of those games where the calls will mostly favour the Iggles. It's in the NFL's best interest that the NFC East race keep going after this week. So I'd look for a lot of noncalls on Philly and a lot of ticky tack calls on us.

Wouldn't doubt it. I know the refs are supposedly objective, but you really do have to wonder sometimes.

I just hope it doesn't come down to a long FG for us at the end. Can you say "snap infraction"?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

They were favoring the Iggles in the first match up

Oh you mean like the wk 10 game in Philly? Multiple flags against the Cowboys and 0 against the Birds?

refs have been under more scrutiny than ever this season. too many missed calls. chargers got a gift against steelers on moving prior to the snap. another ref just canned for disrespecting players. I've always adhered to the tom landry theory that bad calls have a way of evening themselves out over the course of the game. the game vs the saints proved that.

I don't, I think there will be calls in the game that fans disagree with but that is every week in every game. In the end this will come down to who plays better and I'm counting on the Cowboys to do just that.

Just looked it up. Dallas (73) is the least penalized team so far in the NFL. The Chiefs (130) is the most.

Buh, buh, buh.....

Quick, trot out the “it’s not the number but when they call it” lament.

Fact don't get in the way of the narrative.

 

[viman96]

Definitely not arguing there was/is a conspiracy against Dallas. However wk 10 was the only time Philly in 2018 was not flagged. What does this mean? No idea. Maybe the refs were not paying attention as well as they should have been?

Wait, wait. Let me help them:

"It's not the number of penalties, it WHEN they're called. They wait for us to get a big play and then call a penalty late. That's how the CONSPIRACY! goes undetected (until I detected it)."

Was thinking the exact same thing posted it in the Ramifications thread . Hate when the officials change the outcome of games and this one has all the earmarks of one of those games

 

[MarcusRock]

You know it's a game people are nervous about when there are complaints about the officials before the game rather than discussions about calls they made or didn't make during the game. This is what you call softening for a feared rough landing. Have faith in our guys, will ya?

 

[Risen Star]

Well this backfired.

What is important is the calls they don’t make against the Cowboys opponents.

 

[Runwildboys]

Can we wait until the game starts before we complain about the favoritism by the officials? Maybe one of them got hit in the back of the head with a bottle at an Eagles game when he was 11........ya never know.

So you're preemptively saying that if we lose it won't be because of our garbage HC and mediocre QB rather it will be the refs fault?

Got it

But it is the non calls against the other teams, like holding on our D that most complain about.

Unfortunately quite a few times this has been true, a few hold calls aginst our OL and the last game especially the Randy gregory neutral zone infraction especially could have been whistled immediately after the snap , instead they waited for the play to be over , which was a sack fumble recovered by Dallas and called .
