These cheating refs are out of control. I’m sick of it!

[Sydla]

Now in fairness, if Cook could catch or their kicker could make a FG none of this probably matters.

 

[JMech]

I agree there were a couple of bad misses but I’m don’t think the refs were cheating at all. If they had an agenda to let Philly win why would they call those two false starts on Kelce? Could have let a lot of stuff go and never had it go to overtime.

You're kidding me??? They had a horsecollar tackle on Allen. Instead they called him for grounding the ball when Romo even questioned that because there was a receiver in the vicinity. They weren't cheating? Maybe not but someone needs to see how many of them had money on the game.

 

[DZSierra]

I understand that they have assignments, but this is ridiculous. Neither the Bills coaching staff, nor any of the players, protested on any egregious calls.

I could be wrong, but the lack of a penalty called is not reviewable? Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

I did think that intentional grounding was called on Allen, but I could be wrong.

Anyway you cut it, a lack of an apparent penalty not called should be reviewable IMO. That said, and I could be wrong as well, it's for the NFL owners to decide.

I agree on the ref not even looking at the pass play and he was looking somewhere else. That said, if it was a question if he was in our out of bounds if he made the catch, it would be reviewable. Go figure...

 

[Mannix]

Because it is the the networks and NFL ratings interest that Dallas play as deep into that PO as they can.

That flag that was mysteriously picked up in the WC win over DET sure looked fishy. I guess that ref didn’t get the message that he was supposed to screw Dallas not the other guy?

The league doesn’t direct outcomes.

You’d be better off focusing on proving aliens killed JFK. There is much more proof of that conspiracy.

OMG….still talking about ONE FLAG on a 50/50 call YEARS ago??? I can show you about 100 instances since then where the same teams have gotten gift after gift after gift.

 

[glimmerman]

Look at how many times Parsons gets obviously held. Wasn’t there one year that opposing offenses or defenses went a ridiculously long time without a holding call when they played us.

Certain teams are getting preferential treatment. When we played egirls they made sure both teams had 10 penalties. Seemed like they wanted the game close. But made sure to call PI on us when the ball was WAY over Gilmores head but at the end when Fergie was being tackled at the goal line on the last play before he even touched the ball there was no flag. Or get the correct call and they pick up the flag.

It’s just obvious calls or non calls.

 

[Bobhaze]

Have you every met someone in your life that has no opinion of the Dallas Cowboys?

Yes. My wife.

Season in and season out these refs keep helping the dirty birds, chiefs and used to help the patriots. Buffalo should have won that game!!!!! They were robbed! I am sick and tired of watching the same stupid biased cheating ref calls and non calls over and over and over and over and over. These refs are out of control! It doesn’t matter if we go 10-7, 12-5 or 17-0! We will walk into the playoffs and the refs will hit us with an uppercut!! Oh I hate it!!!

I saw 2 horse collars not called on the Eagles. But the Bills got a make up call in that OT drive with a BS roughing the passer call.

 

[Redline360]

Nothing is going to change until players, coaches, or teams start walking off the field. All it takes is one team to walk off the field mid game to get the ball rolling. So much money would be loss they would need to do something about it.

We have sport announcers, even the people in the replay booth, players, ex players, and even coaches calling out officiating. Granted the coaches beat around the bush much more.

I'm not big into the whole league is rigged conspiracy but you must be blind if you think certain games aren't influenced heavily.

 

[Legendz82]

Incompetence doesn’t mean there”s a conspiracy.

There is ZERO reason for the NFL to manipulate games. It’s already the highest rated and most profitable sport. What’s the upside?

Now the downside? If the NFL gets caught manipulating games:
They would lose tons of fans
Sportsbooks would sue the NFL into oblivion.
Gamblers would sue the NFL into oblivion
Congress would absolutely go after their antitrust status

I always love people that throw conspiracy theories out there without thinking through the cost / benefit. There is literally no benefit for the NFL to manipulate games.

The refs were just awful yesterday for sure. And the NFL has a problem with poor officiating. But cheating or fixing games? I don't buy that. If I felt the outcomes of games were fixed I would never watch another NFL game.

There‘s a big difference between incompetence and cheating.

 

[phildadon86]

I think the officiating has been worse than I've ever seen watching football games across the board, even in college football this year.

That non PI call on philly (I think towards the end of the game) was ridiculous, but what was even more ridiculous was in the picture, you could see the ref NOT even looking at the play and he apparently looking at something else.

That said, it wasn't a referee who kicked a 59 yard field goal in the rain with time running out to force over time. It also wasn't the referees that allowd Philly to march 75 yards for the winning touchdown. As for Brown's "fumble", I'm not going to lie and say I complete understand the ruling because I've seen it been call so many different ways per the letter of the law.

It also wasn't the refs who blocked what turned out to be a very important extra point for the bills that even allowed that 59 yard field goal attempt to be made.

I'm not defending philly, just pointing out that they seem to capitalize and take advantage of everything they get and they don't piss it away for a loss.

I would prefer Dallas beat them by 3 points or less in both the home game and in the playoffs vs blowing them out in the last season game and winning throughout the playoffs. We had the ball at the 6 yard line with a first and goal. The refs didn't stop us from scoring, we did.

It was a field goal due to the loss of down and non call on the horse collar. That call would have had Buffalo at the 1 yard line with a fresh set of downs.

To say one horrible call changed a game is one thing. But to watch it happen when a team is completely dominating is another.

How about the saints playoff game. Guy hit him 20 minutes before the ball got there. And again Fergie getting tackled way early in egirls game changed the outcome. 5 inches from the goal line. If he isn’t tackled early he turns that up for easy TD.

 

[Whirlwin]

More tissue please

I don’t believe in the propaganda. But if you don’t see them being for a one team or another, it’s sickening they ruined three games this season not even games that matter to the Cowboys they just suck.

 

[G2]

The officiating sucked and Buffalo clearly took it in the backside. The officiating always sucks. It's always inconsistent.

On a related note, the Earth is an oblate spheroid, we landed on the moon in 1969 and dinosaurs actually existed even though the term wasn't coined until the 1800s.

 

[Bullet22]

Bills got flagged 7 times in the 1st quarter...help me if that's wrong...

We're the refs "fixing it" in the 90's when we won those 3 SB and made the most money for the NFL?

P.S. I already know the answer here: the refs starting fixing games RIGHT after our last SB win. Before that...it was all on the up and up!

LOL

Yeah. It was 7 games or something like that. Dallas also had the highest pressure percentage so it made no sense.

This was also when Jerry was suing Goodell for the record.

Cant be anything there right? lol

 

[Established1971]

from now until the great apocalypse wipes us all out people will complain about refs
