JerryK Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Offsides, OL Holding and facemasks aren't very debatable...and those were our favorites this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The NFL sucks. But they know they have me. Maybe not as passionate about the relationship but I'm still here. Obv low self esteem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundunit Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The crew that we had was especially bad. I know that was the ref's first game, but it was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The problem is is that there in no consistency in the calls. Decker gets called for holding negating a big play, then on the Raiders score you probably have two Raiders holding both the front and back of Jets defenders jerseys and nothing is called. Embarassing day for the refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 The pass interference and holding calls are - be honest you probably can call that every play if you wanted to but the amount that are being called in games are ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFreak89 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 It looked like the FIX was in. Sad. It sure did...my wife still maintains that the NFL tries to rig storylines. I refuse to believe it but a rookie QB leading a west coast team to a win on the first game of the season against the (bad boy) Jets would have had all the news salivating. I have to admit, sometimes after watching some of these calls and games I feel like one day I'm going to end up like this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvTNyKIGXiI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
