I thought Goodell and Stan had a deal...

[badnews]

If Stan would move the Rams back to LA, the NFLs officials would be told to start calling fair games against the Rams again.

Obviously someone forgot to send that memo.

Stan, I think you got Rodgered...

 

[12intheBox]

Yeah - it's the officiating

 

[OntarioRam]

The blame for this loss rests solely with Gregg Williams and his defense. And Fisher. Bot the refs.

 

[badnews]

If an O-line can blatantly hold on Offense, over and over, yes, it will make a defense play the worst game of its season.

I was kidding with my OP... but only sort of. This officiating is and has been shit.

Sorry for the change of subject.
I'll start cranking out the fire everybody posts...

How could anyone possibly blame the refs for today's results? All the bad calls in the world can't make a defense give up 49 freaking points.

Yeah GW needs to teach the DL to not be held/tackled on every play.

I'm not. I'm placing the blame ALSO on the refs. Not entirely.

I figured the rest of you would be making sure that everyone knows Jeff Fisher is to blame.

That's not true.

We gave up 37 last year against a far less talented offense because of the refs. But I won't blame it on the refs today. They sucked. But so did we. That Bears game, though? The refs fixed that game. I'll go to my grave believing it.

Really? Hypothetically speaking if the O-line held every d lineman on every play, and not get called, you don't think that could be an advantage for the offense in question?

That's not true.

I am very glad that others understand that the NFL is rigged, I don't feel alone in this world anymore. Do you notice that replays are seldom done this year on penalty calls, and the announcers don't call out missed penalties anymore? I think Aikman is the only one that calls out BS officiating, but even he doesn't seem to do it as much this year

Apparently that deal was with the new stadium and not the move to LA.

BS officiating has never been called out. I come from a rugby league background where all the commentators did was complain about the ref. When I started watching he NFL in 1990 I was amazed how little chatter there was about the officials when the call was blatantly wrong. Of course we didn't hear a peep from the commentators in Super Bowl 36.

That was the worst officiated game I have seen. The Saints Oline looked like the greatest in the history of the NFL thanks to being allowed to hold for 3/4s of the game.

And Pro Football Focus probably rated their performance as excellent across the board.

 

[IowaRam]

They did , but the Rams are just that bad

 

[Merlin]

There were receivers and backs running open all over the joint in that game. Complete meltdown. Refs were a non-factor tbh, it would have been an @$$ beating no matter what they did.
