Officiating Crews

[DaveThePanther2008]

Regular season they are assigned to certain games.

 

What about pre-season?  Does the home team use the officials that are assigned to their practices?

 

I thought there were quite a few ticky tack fouls that kept New England's drives alive.   I know we got a few but not nearly enough.  

 

For example that foul on Alexander was absolutely insane.  He barely brushed the helmet. 

 

And those PI calls were bad too.  Both sides.  If the NFL is going to call those like that this year.  Someone is going to throw for 6000 yards.  You can't even breathe on a WR with a foul.

 

We got our butts handed to us.  And honestly the loss doesn't bother me at all.   However, if they were NE practice officials it wouldn't surprise me if ole Cheater Bill didn't ask for a flag here and there so he could evaluate his offense more.

OMG.  Blaming officials for a preseason loss.  This is great.

Wasn't blaming them.  Good God.   I thought there were some really horrendous calls and wanted to know if they use the one of the home team uses during practice. 

 

I thought some of those weak calls kept drives alive when the should have been over.  

 

You do see official during practice.  You know the guys with the stripped shirts at practice. 

 

You shouldn't pick and choose what you want to read in a post.  Read the whole thing.

That's not what he said.

His comment was all about the ridiculous calls being made this preseason.... In every game.

It really is rediculous. Our game was bad but that philly pitt game the other night was unwatchable. I understand (occasionally) penalties in the name of safety here and there but what point is there in calling a hold or p.i. every other play? It's a physical game the refs need to use some discretion. I would imagine the idtard commish prolly focused this offseason on 'cracking down' on these types of plays for pretty much no reason.

No doubt,  That penalty on Alexander was insane.  The hand barely brushed the front of the helmet. 

 

It is going to be so bad that they might as well take off the pads and puts some flags on.

Really? 

 

I don't put anything past Billicheat. The man would cheat his own mother.

 

He's a poor loser and the worst winner in the NFL.

I'm confused about the number of illegal use of hands penalties called on the Defensive line. Is it something they've started to police heavily or just a coincidence?
