NFL Week 13

[Flames24Rulz]

These refs are GARBAGE. Talk about a late call.

[Soul]

Totally ridiculous to throw a 40-yard flag 15 seconds after the play is over.

 

These refs are just horrible.

[Roast]

These refs are GARBAGE. Talk about a late call.

 

 

They've been on the cowboys jock all night.

 

and now they give up the TD [expletive].

[TruffleShuffle]

refs took the cowboys to cover apparently

[erik316wttn]

Apparently the refs got the memo to favor Dallas tonight.

 

I've seen some BS pass interference calls before. That ranks right up there with the worst of them. If the EXACT same play had happened but with different uniforms, the refs wouldn't have called it. I guarantee it.

the "forward progress stopped" call was particularly egregious in the first quarter... especially since one ref signaled that it was packers ball.

Nobody will be able to convince me that the refs don't want Dallas to win tonight. It's so blatant it's sickening. Just like when the Packers would go down there in the 90's and on more than one occasion a Dallas defender would pull a Packers ball-carrier down by his facemask three feet from the official and not get a call.

 

And the NFL won't do a damn thing about it's referees. It's so frustrating.

Yeah that one was complete B.S.

 

If (when) the packers lose this game the refs will have certainly had a big hand in the outcome.

Why is it that you think the NFL prefers the Cowboys to win rather than the Packers?

[Soul]

I mean if you don't know enough to throw the flag when the play is happening, then you don't throw a flag that essentially wins the game for one team. Period end of story.

 

I really think they need to put review in for PI calls. I don't think that was PI. Or at least, it shouldn't be. It's just too ticky-tack, the feet got tangled, who cares if his hand briefly touched his biceps -- it's not a game of tiddly winks.

[Roast]

I really don't like this call.

[Roast]

Well, at least he made it. but still.

the bigger problem that i have is that a ticky-tack call can allow a team to move the ball 50 yards down the field. make it a maximum of 15 yards, like in college.

[Roast]

I'd also like to point out that the spot of that ball was crap (that caused them to have a 4th down)

For one, I'll bet every single penny I make for the rest of my life the NFL won't do a damn thing about some of these blatantly obvious BS calls that seem to be very one-sided.

 

Secondly, even back in the 90's, the Packers were down there every single year (save 1997) during the Dallas dynasty. The NFL said "Oh, well that's just how the schedule falls" but that was complete BS. They had to do some tinkering to have Green Bay travel to Dallas that many times in a row during the regular season.

 

Thirdly, Dallas seems to be able to get away with a LOT against the Packers in Dallas. I don't have video and I don't know the players involved, and I know nobody here will believe me, but I will swear to my dying day that during the NFC Championship game in Dallas one year a Dallas defender tackled a Green Bay ball carrier by yanking him down by the facemask no more than four feet from an official and there was no flag. It was at that moment I knew that no matter what happened, Dallas was winning.

 

I don't know why it keeps happening. Once or twice may be a coincidence, but that many times in a row ceases to be coincidental and starts to be on purpose.

Then you have like college where every defender who is beat just mugs the receiver in order to not give up the 50 yard bomb. I'd rather have it the pros way. There really aren't that many PI calls deep, and I'd rather not make PI a strategy.

[Roast]

For christs sake, bigby, keep your hand off his damn mask.

[Guest]

Maybe if the Packers want to win this game they should try stopping Romo and the Cowboys offense since they seem completely incapable of doing so. Realistically, it should be 41-27 right now had TO not dropped a touchdown and handed Al Harris an interception in the endzone. The refs aren't costing Green Bay this game, the Packer defense is.

Bigby should be forced to walk home.

Agreed for the exact reasons you mentioned. Defenders would do their best just to take down the WR if they get beat and only sacrifice the 15 yards.

And you're completely ignoring the takeaway Al Harris should have had in the 1st quarter and the BS pass interference call?

 

This game is over and it makes me sick. The Packers may not have won the game anyway, but the refs sure didn't do them any favors. My God, it's been a LONG time since I've seen more blatant favoritism by an officiating crew, and that includes some Cubs games.

I haven't been watching this game extremely closely but when I am watching, every time the Cowboys have the ball, they're marching down the field without much of a problem. Romo's averaging 10 yards per attempt passing and Barber is averaging 5 yards per carry. You're not going to win many games when your defense allows that.

 

Like I said, blame the Packer defense.

I'm not saying the Packers were the better team tonight. But Dallas got some massive help.

Oh well. With Woodson and KGB, I think we beat them. I want another crack at them in the playoffs.

no doubt that they aren't doing a great job stopping them. But regardless, the packers are down 10 and there have been a couple of completely B.S. calls that have lead to scores.
