Just me, or was the officiating particularly horrible today?

Super happy that the Bears came away with a W, but ffs, the officiating seemed particularly horrible today. Between non-calls, roughing the passer, TDs called back and penalties generally overall this game was a lot closer than it should have been IMO.

I don't like griping about this sort of thing, because it generally balances out and goes both ways, but today was pretty bad IMHO.

they were bad but the bears still won. I will take that.

I would point out the helmet to helmet call on ATL close to the end of the game as "kinda a balancing it out call."

I don't understand the picked up flag on Cohen's injury.

What helmet to helmet? I don't remember one. if you are talking about the defenseless receiver I think that was a good call.

Calling offsetting penalties on both teams along with saying the ruling in the field was interception makes me wonder if they were even paying attention.

They sucked.
And don't forget our 3rd and 3 incomplete and they called a Special person phantom hold to give us 3rd and 8 and a TD! They ought to be able to decline that penalty. That was the game right there for us IMO.
The refs missed a ton. But they were consistently bad at least.

Regardless of the thread I made during the week the refs were indeed horrible today.

I don’t normally whine about the refs but Jerome Boger is a consistently awful official. Remember when he took a record tying or setting (can’t remember which) TD for Hester off the board?

Might have been the worst I've ever seen officials perform. Hold these fucking dickbags accountable for this shit.

he sounds like a southern belle

Booger was awful as always...

Call reversed on Robinson TD was a joke. What’s the point of replay, if the replay official can’t get it right? Bears DL was getting held with regularity.

I was going to say “The two TDs called back may have been the only calls they got right”, but actually the replay official got them right after the crew on the field got them wrong.

There is absolutely no way you can objectively believe that was a catch by Robinson. No way. Under what definition of catch. He touched the ball. He did not catch it.

Should have been a TD.

Robinson caught it, made a football move and hit the ground. Play is over at that point

 

[TL1961]

BTW, Atl had seven penalties in the 4th

 

[Payton34Sayers40]

No way they should have reversed that ARob TD call. The ref who was right there on the field ruled it a TD. There was not enough video evidence to reverse the call on the field. Tie goes to the receiver.

Horrible decision by the refs!

“Made a football move”??????????
