Week 16 Ref Assignment: Shawn Hochuli

[Rayman70]

Even by Cowboys standards of getting jobbed by the refs, that Raiders game was outrageous. Even a Packers fan friend of mine who hates the Cowboys said he couldn't believe how bad the refs were screwing us.

exactly. Even the raider fans sitting next to us couldn't believe it.

 

[Rayman70]

He’s also the same ref that swallowed the whistle on the obvious OPI call that Dallas should have gotten against Tampa in week 1 the same year. This knucklehead ref probably cost us a 1 seed that year with the Cowboys games he officiated.

He is probably laughing his tail off right now at the prospect of having this game assignment.

This is a bad scenario for us in Miami.

 

[MarcusRock]

What are you basing the room and gloom on? The OPs opinion?

Before the Eagles game, fans here were moaning about it being the worst possible assignment and meant the end was coming.

Guess there was some kind of miracle.

Not only that but we won that game being the beneficiary of the same "odd and rare occurrences" that refs supposedly only call against us. When has anyone ever seen 3 flags intended for the same team all get picked up after being thrown? Or having a double penalty called on a player that stacked yardage. You'd be hard-pressed to ever find those things happen in separate games, let alone to benefit the same team in a single game. I will quote that game on here until I get banned or retire. None of the 'spiracy crew wants any part of that game. Lol.

Is he related to Ed Hochuli?

refs have bias. Some abuse their power..Anyone that states its impossible are either lying or ignorant. We need to blow them out to win.

yes, I think its his kid.

His son. Jerry called out his old man publicly in 2008 and the spawn probably wants a pound of flesh in return.

Thanks Rayman good to know we still have a Hochuli

You seem to imply that either this crew or all crews are biased against the Cowboys, hence our need to “blow them out”.

Am I understanding your intent?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yet another excuse using the officiating in case the Cowboys lose.

I don't see anywhere in the OP where he suggests that is even a possible reason for the Cowboys losing.

 

[SackMaster]

I read that the Eagles were something like 7-0 with the ref that oversaw the Eagles at Dallas game this year, to include the NFCCG last year ... but I guess the Ref crew didn't get the message. Now the Eagles are 7-1 with that ref.

I'm sure some are going to hate me for this, but the VAST majority of flags the Cowboys get are completely on Cowboys players.

Case in point, the DLaw roughing the passer call against Josh Allen. Sure, the rule sucks and it SHOULDN'T be a RTP penalty, but the fact is, the refs will call that 99% of the time. The fact that DLaw THOUGHT he could take a couple of steps and then forearm Allen NEAR the head and it was going to be ignored is just stupid on DLaw's part, especially in the NFL in the 2020's.

Don't be like Mahomes and cry about the refs when CLEARLY our players are not playing smart / committing clear violations.

JMHO

I present to you the Shawn Hochuli ref crew for our game against the Dolphins. This is the guy that loves camera time and taking over games with flags. He loves to flag Cowboy players for PI (see 2021 Raiders game). This will be a flag fest for Dallas and a very long day. May as well let Tyreek Hill run free all game long.

I seem to recall this crew officiating a critical game last year or earlier this year and everyone expected a flagfest, but it was just the opposite. Might have been the Tampa Wild Card game.

 

[diamonddelts]

He does not have the Guns Of Navarone like his father had. More gym, less officiating.

 

[KJJ]

You might want to read his post again. Sounds like he’s already predicting a loss due to all the flags we’ll be getting. A long day usually means a loss and he’s giving a reason for it.

Exactly where. I don't see it. No one else can see it.

Apparently you don’t want to see it but here it is again. If he’s not already providing a reason for the Cowboys losing, then what is he doing?

“This will be a flag fest for Dallas and a very long day.”

I agree 100% on the D Law penalty. That was an absolutely stupid play by him. And completely unnecessary - there was nothing to be gained. It was all risk and no reward.

Almost everyone rags on Williams’ and labels him stupid. But Williams’ penalty was poor execution, not a stupid decision. He was in position to make a game changing play; he just botched it.

This isn’t good.

I’ll guess many will post about how this is a pre-excuse thread. Discussing refs clearly bothers some here.
Those that think refs don’t matter are naive.

*Philly fans post in jubilation when they get certain ref groups. People here post these threads. There’s a reason for this difference.

The last time Hochuli's crew did a Dallas game was last season at Tennessee. The Titans were flagged 10 times for 124 yards.

The Cowboys had 3 penalties for 35 yards.

I trust this post will be dutifully ignored since it doesn't support the narrative.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

This has to be the only fan forum I've ever seen where there are regular posts BEFORE THE GAME IS EVEN PLAYED complaining about the referees.

Cowboys nation needs a serious culling of the weak and frail from the herd.

He must really hate the Titans.
