Thoughts on the officiating.

Let's face it guys, a Dallas vs GB game is a much sexier match-up than GB vs Det. and is going to bring epic TV ratings and $ for the league.

Ummmm det woulda went to seattle

Ummmm det woulda went to seattle

My bad, but still its better than GB vs Caro as well. Next Sunday we get Manning vs the Colts, then GB vs Dallas.

That play was PI even under the old PI rules but with this new can't touch stuff it was as obvious a penalty as I've ever seen.
It had it all Illegal contact (way past 5 yards) actual interference, face guarding, not turning around and a flag ........ I guess Chris Christy would have been upset with a penalty.

No difference between NBA & NFL officials......there is a rooting interest on who they want to advance & they get it......bottom line!

This. I stopped watching the NBA years ago because of the officiating. The NFL isn't far behind.

Unlike the Nba which has exposed refs for fixing the Nfl is supposed to be so full of integrity. I have hated the new pussy rules on pi all year and do not enjoy the nfl anywhere near as much as i used to. Refs decide games most of the time now. Shit is just a bad script waiting to happen

At least in nba you know it is gonna happen. Nfl is a shit product cuz of these jacked up flag loving refs. Used to be in the playoffs they let em play to a certain extent

Detroit should've gotten the PI yardage and 15 more for Dez Bryant going out on the field without his helmet.

Then, on Dallas last drive, they called two def. holding to keep their drive going. On the 2nd penalty, Dallas got away with a clear hold.



I agree with you. It isn't bad officiating when the same thing happens over and over. It's corrupt. The powers that be wanted Dallas to advance, and they were given help in a close game.

+1. Too bad, a good game by both teams kinda ruined and now all the focus will be on the refs.. not the players.

I've been around a long time and have seen about every way to win and lose a game, this one was decided by the stripes.

 

[bobbyjones2]

saving grace, for me, and hopefully you united, is we got the cover....

 

[PatPatriot]

I had Detroit on the ml. Was I fuckin pissed . Of all the tickey tack bullshit candy ass calls they call all year they pick up the flag on a legit pi.

 

[bobbyjones2]

terrible..just terrible pats ( good stat about carolina in that game btw, rang true)

its an easy call, and to boot, u have a player charging on the field to protest, and they didnt call that either? really thought i was losing my mind picking up that flag, easy call, just crazy
