Clearly the foot on the line play during the Cards Panthers game was missed. I am not even a Cards fan but for the refs to almost control the outcome of the game like that is wrong!!!
Again, the refs make a HORRIBLE pass interference call against the Chargers! Are they getting paid extra to demise the Chargers season?! If you are going to sabatoge a team’s season, which is what the refs have tne to the Chargers this year, they should be able to ask for a review of ALL calls! You can’t review pass interference, well you should now! Our defense may have been poor, but that was excellent coverage. Again, the Chargers struggle, and the refs determine the outcome!!
From a Chargers fan who is wondering about the integrity of the NFL Refs!
I also wonder about the integrity of the NFL referees. It is just too coincidential that these controversial calls always come against the Chargers. Not only the ridiculous pass interference call but the interception by Weddle that was reversed by the refs. I can only wonder how these refs are not fined for this extremely biased behavior. Someone within the NFL needs to address this issue. We teach our children to play fair yet this leason we teach is totally contradicted by the actions of the NFL referees on TVs everyday and in every city. The NFL and the NFL referees should be ashamed of this pathetic behavious. Shame on you.
The worst 2 minute kick off return call this week. Atlanta clearly did not touch the ball, but it was still given to Eagles. Granted the Falcons weren’t dominating the field, but they didn’t need the horrible call to steal all hope. Wake up Jerome Boger.
How incompetent are NFL officials. They have screwed-up calls all day (once again). But for the Steelers – Giants game, they put the ball on the half-yard line, when it should have been on the one inch line. Again, they fail to realize that we see the same play on replay. They need to go to jail. Why not have a congressional inquiry on the NFL, it might do some good to have some officials realize they are not in charge of the world and what they say is not law. The officials are affecting the outcome of the game (and they are wrong), when it should be the players. I watched two of the early games and the officials changed who should have won. Dirty officials and the announcers are too weak to comment on it.
Steelers – Giants
Refs see holding when a steeler acts so well and falls down. Yet, when Smith is held, there is no call against the steelers.
What is the going rate for refs this year?
I am beginning to think that all refs hate the Chiefs. Sure the Chiefs aren’t put to par this year, but there were so many missed pass interference calls and holding calls it was horible. I will have to agree with Glen. So many missed calls all around the whole NFL. Its getting to the point that no one is going to want to watch the games.
Again no holding call or pass interference call on the steelers as Burress was held in the end zone.
i am sick and tired of having refs dictate the play of a game. After watching the Chargers/Saints game, I can’t help but be disgusted with the lack of consistency with the calls week by week. When will fans start a campaign to have the NFL look into this? Player and coaches receive fines when they raise comments about calls, but when do the refs get fined? I pay to see players make plays NOT to have refs determine game changing plays themselves. All across the board this season we’ve seen calls blown which cannot be reversed. I say fans should start a letter campaign to the NFL, ESPN, local sports radio, etc and make this an issue. It need to be addressed. Unless you want to continue being pissed off. In that case, do nothing.
Cardinals at Panthers
How is it possible?! Steve Smith’s foot, on his long touchdown run, was way over the out of bounds line. They have it on video. The only part of his foot still on the field was his big toe. And yet, after the referee took nearly a minute to look at the tape, he returns to announce that the ruling on the field stands. This was the most obvious call ever. I just don’t get it anymore. What a bias, corrupt call. It’s hard for a team to win a football game when you can only have 11 men on the field and your opponent gets 11 plus all the officials. Terrible! Abosolutly terrible. This is the reason why conspiracy teories exist. Let the players decide the games!
The NFL is becoming a joke! Missed calls, terrible calls, and unworthy flags. It’s football, they are supposed to hit each other as hard as they can! Grow a pair Goodell! How many times are you going to let a DB get flagged for doing his job? (Giants vs. Steelers)(Falcons vs. Eagles) Because of the missed calls, 3 games were possibly decided yesterday. Falcons muffed punt? Are you kidding me? How much were those guys paid to clearly make the wrong call? You want to take the hitting out of football, and now you want to let the refs continue to make horrible calls or no-calls. Mistakes happen, agreed, but when games start being decided by these “veteran” officials with impeccable records with their horrific calls, it’s too much. Do something and give some integrity back to the game!! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NONSENSE!!!
