Are the refs crooked? Biased? Trying to manipulate games? Nah. They're just friggin idiots who don't care how their ineptitude affects games. They just want to be noticed. Puka was right.
Pay them more. Make them full time employees and put them on stringent performance reviews.
The pick right before halftime was 100% DPI. He got to Puka a full second before the ball did. The blindside block call on Puka is one of the worst calls I’ve seen this season. On the second sack on Stafford, Davante ran an out and up, and was immediately bear hugged by the corner when he tried to turn upfield. The Landsman unsportsmanlike on his peanut punch. And probably 3-4 delay of games that went uncalled on Phillys offense. Probably another half dozen I’m not even remembering.
I would like to keep track of what everyone was seeing. Any others? Did the Rams get any in their favor?
It didn't seem like the Eagles got any bad calls from the refs today, just the Rams.
I didn't see this. Can you give a more detailed description, like when etc..
I think I was typing. Anyone else think it was a bad call?
Was it Wicks that was giving McDuffy a headlock going downfield before McDuffy got the PI.
Is that the same play as above?
That BS Puka held back and didn't make real contact. They even said that on the broadcast.
I saw that. It's a tough call at full speed. If the ball was closer to Puka, it might have been an easier call. He did get there a tick too soon

This is a common miss for officials. Blind side blocks are safety fouls. Basically, a player is defenseless and cannot see a block coming and there is a risk of being blown resulting in a concussion up or broken ribs. In summary we’re looking for UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS.
What I saw on that play was Puka pulling up to not kill the defender. He brushed the defender’s jersey. There was no threat to player safety on that play.
Let's not forget about the penalty on a Rams coach, when, while out of bounds, a ref bumped him.
Was it a penalty? I suppose technically.
But did it really need to be called? The ref bumped the coach...didn't look like something that was an issue.
But I believe it's the first time I've ever seen that called in over 55 years of watching football.

yes was going to comment on that call... just absolutely uneccessary to call that.
Seriously fuck off refs.
I just feel there has to be a better way. They did not see the PI on Wallace against Denver and the back judge called it right in front of the side judge who did not.
This game the call Puka on a back side block where Puka does not touch the guy, but ran towards him and the guy fell and the flag flies. Somebody needs to look at those and tell them to pick the flag up.

Yes it matters. You think an official wants to get hurt out there? Any game I referee or I’m a Down judge or Line Judge, I will tell the coach he is responsible to keep the restricted area (technical name) clear during live ball plays. We don’t want to get hurt and we don’t want to truck some dumbass who forgets he’s entered the area where officials need to work. I’ve seen officials hurt and coaches trucked.
I don’t personally care much to take elbows to the head when I am focused on keeping your and the other team’s players safe.
So yes, Nate Scheelhaase and the get back coach needs to realize where they are. That’s a 100% correct call, if you notice a coach or player meander into the restricted area after warning them, but don’t run into them, we will throw one sideline warning.
I’m probably overreacting here with this post, but yes, correct call, and let’s not spend more time arguing this one.
The dopes on Sunday Night Football were talking up all the penalties for the first half. How they were close to 16 penalties called.
I don't care if they call a true penalty, I do care when the consistently get them wrong.
Don't recall EVER seeing it called in my entire life.
...which leads me to believe it's something that happens, but is rarely, if ever, called.
I saw it called in a Georgia-Notre Dame playoff game a couple years ago. That’s literally the only other time I’ve ever seen it called in 35+ years of watching football.

You’re correct, I agree! Officials at college and NFL are given more latitude than at HS. However, they’re now calling it tighter in college, and it appears to be working its way up to the NFL.
I’m not privy to the inside info, but could be a point of emphasis. At both HS and Youth blind side blocks, sportsmanship, and being properly equipped (knees and pads covered, one mouthguard, shirt tucked in, etc.) are usually stressed.
How about that completely obvious make up call that they called on Woolen I think on the Rams last possession. Barely touched Puka, Puka makes the catch, goes down, flag comes out 5sec after the play was over. Clearly a make up call.
It was a horrendous day for the Refs today as it was last week. I fully expected a couple pass interference calls on the Eagles last possession.

I disagree. If McVay called these refs out the media shitstorm would be significant.
