At least you can be honest about....



I'm convinced people who keep with this narrative have no clue what they're talking about.

The refs DIDN'T win that game for Denver. It didn't happen.

That defensive holding they called on CHJ at the end of the game when they needed a fg to tie? They never showed it on replay or anything, just a phantom call. I could go on and on but I don't want to fight anyone about how much better my team is than all the others :thumb:

There was some big plays Sunday night that were reversed from some bogus penalties that changed the outcome of the play & maybe even the game
the officiating this year has been awful across the league

What bogus calls? There weren't any:roflmao:

I'll assume you're referencing calls on NE. Let's see if I can remember them....there was a blatant facemask against CJ, damn near ripped his head off. Think there was an illegal hands (don't remember it off hand), a hold which was obvious (Collinsworth was flapping his jaws about how that wasn't a penalty...Collinsworth apparently doesn't know what holding is. When you grab a guy by the pads, turn him around and throw him down, it's a hold), pass interference on Gronk (yes, but honestly not enough to call IMO), and a clear hold on Chung against DT in the end zone.

Show me the bogus call.


I will agree officiating has sucked all year, there are so many missed calls it's not even funny. There are TONS of holds not being called. The Denver/Chicago game was awful, Chicago held Denver on pretty much every snap, never got called once.

I think that's when Bill and Tom were going bonkers about the clock running. Which is what was supposed to happen. They can be pissed, but it's their own ignorance of the rule that got them in a spot. For the record, I had completely forgotten they implemented the rule, and was unaware of the specificity of how it was. The whole "extra timeout" thing is stupid anyway, at least in this case. He got up and walked right off the field, it was kind of ridiculous.
