Wow Guys, These Refs Today Were Awful

[ThrowuptheXDez88]

They chose to call illegal contact on Sensabaugh when he barely layed an hand on the guy, while on TB's end of things they threw a block in the back on 2 punt returns that were so blatantly obvious right in front of the ref who chose not to throw a flag, 1 of those was Pat Watkins getting blocked in the back by the 5 yard line and the other I can't remember but they were so OBVIOUS... and then the Bucs RB runs out of bounds on the Cowboys side and throws the ball up sky high, ONCE AGAIN right in front of the referees and the Cowboys players were right on top of it as well asking for a flag. I am surprised the calls aren't getting the attention they should be given, it was HORRID what those zebras were doing out there

I've gotten use to the refs just always giving the benefit of the doubt to the other teams whenver we play. Just comes with being the Cowboys I guess...but really the officiating gets worse and worse every year it seems.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

There were lots of holding calls against the Dallas D that they neglected to call as well. The phantom personal foul on Flozell was kinda strange too. So there were some missed calls that would've benefitted the Cowboys, but at least we didn't have 50 penalties called against us while the opposition has almost none. That's how it has been the last few years.

I guess I'm the only one that thought the Sensabaugh penalty was the right call.

He grabbed the guy. He didn't impede him, but he grabbed him. The officials have to call it.

And all of the no holding calls on TB's OL? I know that goes on a lot but some of them were pretty flagrant and were still not called.

Still

We won...they lost.


It was the refs 1st regular season game as well.

Flippin nubz.

He did grab him and I also thought it was a good call.

They had to find something for Flo. The zebras realized he hadn't false started yet so they had to throw the obligatory flag on him.

oh it was so ticky tack, that goes on down the field all game long way worse than that he put a hand on him for like 1 second and didnt even really slow his progress, just touched him, If you saw T.New on that 1st drive of the Bucs and the receiver with their hands all over each other and nothing was called then, it makes you say why in the he!l are they calling something so ticky tack. but that isn't even my main issue... The block in the back no call and no flag for unsportsmanlike conduct really made me hot.

When a WR runs by a defender, and it's in the middle of the field, right in full view of the official, and you grab the jersey, it WILL get called.

It would've been different had Sensabaugh been stride-for-stride....he was not...he was beaten and grabbed the player.

He shouldn't have done it....he didn't need to do it.

 

[ThrowuptheXDez88]

all the db's are being watched buddy... has nothing to do with middle of the field

it was contact after the 5 yard rule

what pissed me off is that it was so slight, it didn't even do anything, so he didn't even need to do it

True.

Although, he may not have thought he had Jenkins there with him.

Jenkins made a great play on the ball.

Sure it does.

It's exposed....it's obvious...he HAS to make the call. This is an area where it's not going to get unnoticed.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Every game I watched today/tonight I've thought the officiating was pathetic.

Yeah those 3 were right there but there was also the obvious facemask on Tampa, when they were riding Barber out of bounds on that one play, where the defender had his face mask held and pushing Barber's head down the whole time and they didn't call that either. There were a couple of obvious holds on the tackles of the Bucs today as well that went uncalled but that's all part of the game.

 

[CATCH17]

We should've had 2 running into the punter calls too.

They killed McBriar one time and it was a no call.

And of course the NFL refuses to crack down on holding. Garr..

Thats fine and all, its the rule I guess.

However if they are gonna call the picky one's on us, they gotta call it on them too. They were hitting our guys all day with no calls.

i didnt see him grab the jersey.....i did see him gently swipe his hand across the jersey though.

if the rule is called evenly across the board, i might still hate the rule, but at least i cant complain too much. but since the refs seem to pick and choose when and where they want to enforce the rules.....that is where i have issues. I am so sick of teams like NE and Pittsburgh being allowed to do as they please for the most part.
