Didn't you learn anything from Puka last season? The season went downhill as soon as he opened his trap. It's so easy for refs to fuck a team. Don't give them motivation.

.

So Philly receiver is grabbing and pulling McDuffie's head down the field and they call PI on McDuffie? Is the NFL going to tell McVay he's right again with no consequences for the shitty calls?
 
Around the League with Refs:

Vikings player got chewed out after dolphins player pushed him into the ref and the player tried to help him up.

Seahawks Broke thier Franchise record for Flags in a game today! 16 For Chargers, 14 For Seattle. Thats just fucking Nuts! 2nd most In NFL History!

Trey Mcbride was told "Fuck you" On National TV Camera by a ref, not once but twice!

VinoBitch call led to Vrabel ripping in to him and getting Unsportmanlike Conduct flag!

Quote from Vrabel at Post Game "“I told him it was a terrible f-ing call. I’ve said that 87 times since I’ve been a head coach. It was nothing derogatory. You’d have to ask him. I think he was a little sensitive,”

SNF had another 17 Penalties!

Vrabel can go fuck himself. What was he saying when he almost took Kurt's head off on that pick 6 in superbowl 36. In fact it was a free for all on kurt all game. Didn't matter how late they hit him, no flag. It was one of the great superbowl performances that he was able to get the Rams back to 17 all.

I think coaches keeping their mouths shut is extending this period of ref stupidity. The elite coaches like McVay need to call a spade a spade. His team just got fucked over two games in a row. Being all politically correct is not helping his players.

If every Coach outright blasts thier stupid, Change will have to happen.

In fairness to the refs... they are trying to make calls in real time. The problem lies in the fact that we, as TV viewers, are able to use slow-motion videos of the play at many different angles to review their calls. That's crazy. Why give the TV veiwers a better way to officiate NFL games when it's the officials who should be using this technology. I say every call should get reviewed. Don't go looking for calls... just make sure every penalty is confirmed by the cameras. We do it quickly and easily... so there is no reason why the refs can't, and they should not feel intimitated on the field by having slow-motion replays available to them.
 
Bitching about officiating has been going on since the beginning of time. Do they suck ? Yeah. But it's always been part of the game. Good teams have to not only overcome the opposing team, but also bad officiating. Find a way to win regardless!

McVay walked up to that line last week when he came out and said “yeah the league office told me the refs got the PI call wrong”. I don’t know if he’ll ever say anything past that. If you watch the post game interviews Stafford kinda called out the refs for the illegal crack back block call on Puka.

I honestly think McVay doesn't necessarily care about getting fined. He just doesn’t want the team to hear him making excuses.

I think the issue is it’s getting more egregious. What I’m noticing is how unevenly calls are being applied between teams, especially our last two games.

Yeah, I've noticed. But what can we really do about it? It's always been that uncontrollable variable in all sports. It sucks.
 
I didn't see this. Can you give a more detailed description, like when etc..
Happened on the last TD drive. 2:20 left in the 4th quarter. 1st and 10 at the 39 yard line. 8 yard pass to the left to Tutu. Tutu went down when he caught it but hadn't been touched yet, he just kinda laid there waiting for guy to touch him. I believe it was Jonathan Jones, stood above tutu then leaned down and started punching him, I'm guessing trying to knock the ball out but did it like 3-4 times I believe and didnt look like he was aiming for the ball much. Think hit his helmet too but happened fast and they didn't show replay so can't confirm.

Maybe someone with access can show it so we can see.

I thought Tutu got up or was trying to get up. It happened fast and as you said, no replay.

I disagree. If McVay called these refs out the media shitstorm would be significant.
Everyone knows the refs suck. Calling them out just puts a target on your back. We all want it shouted out, but the only thing that makes it change is the Fans taking their money elsewhere. Money is the only thing that makes the owners do anything.

Another thing that would make a difference, would be the players making it part of the labor agreement, but they would have to give up something. Most likely money, so that won't happen.

This is just another thing that keeps the NFL in the news and talked about. I guarantee you they don't think it's a bad thing.
