Refs......again and again

[Donald LaFell]

The Webb block in the back was acted by the Titans player and didn't even affect the game. such bullpoopy.

Refs have been bad for years. All the new rules they keep adding and the 'areas of emphasis' or whatever the fk are taking away from the game. So you lose a lot of the clearly defined calls and you have more ticky tack calls being made in the game. That means the flow and control on the game is too much on the refs. These aren't like 5 yard penalties either. I will admit the refs weren't that bad this game and in fact I think they hurt the Titans more than us overall. They're still bad because that's how the NFL sets them up to be.

I hate the argument "well it didn't affect the game so who cares" because its a strawman argument that keeps the pressure from getting the league to institute change.

[Catweisers]

Yep, I agree but what can you do??  Hell, we don't even get the calls at home!!! 

[General_Purr]

Refs run most of the game. Spots.. Holds.. Block in the backs.. Thomas Davis was getting held the majority of the game.

I think the block in the back on the return was a bit shady.   Ginn was on fire today.

This. The guy took off like a rocket. Pizzd me off for like 20 mins. Soccer refs tend to get fooled by that crap, but this is Football. 

It also gets me that we never get a close call in our favor, I mean really, never.

I feel bad about the defenseless reciever call on the Titans defender. He was just trying to make a tackle.

He shouldn't have hit him in the head.  That's a penalty 10 out of 10 times.  Does that rule make it hard on defenders?  Yea.  Unfairly so?  Yea.  But I can understand it, those diving shots at players head do real damage even if the defender isn't intentionally aiming at the head.  That's the reason Coleman (or whoever it was, think it was Coleman) didn't get penalized for the hit on Mariota.  He didn't hit his head.  That's the difference-maker.

I agree 100%, I could have clarified better. I felt bad for the player.

We're a small market, and we're winning, there's your answer.

We're #17 in total income among all NFL franchises. Guess that means that the other 15 are small-markets too?

Small market refers to TV market doesn't it? Size of average ratings for games etc?

If that pats game wasn't a reason the refs need work I don't know what does. Clear touchdown and clear interception that followed two confirmed receptions this weekend with his arm on the ground with possession then comes out.

The refs have always done this (before this season, before Cam). That is why "Fox Ball" sucked, we get up by 3 and he played not to lose. This coaching staff needs to realize we have to keep our foot on the gas and take the outcome of any game out of the hands of the refs...

The team needs to beat every team with 2 a score lead and carry the momentum into the playoffs. Killer Instinct mode.
