Screw the refs!

[dabears584]

I can't recall the last time a team was so blatantly fucked out of a game like the Lions were tonight. Man, do I feel bad for their team and their fans tonight.

Oh the Rams Saints playoff game last year that pass interference at the end that caused the nfl to allow reviews of pass interference. Fucked them pretty good I’d say!

 

[dabears584]

Obvious who the NFL wants to see in the playoffs this year. Between the bullshit calls favoring the butt-packers and all the non calls on the fucking Raiders oline chop blocking, this game is really getting hard to watch.

I have to agree there definitely

 

[Anytime23]

We'll all be laughing at this moment when the Bears are hoisting the Lombardi trophy at the end of the 2019 season

EXACTLY! Handle your own business and you dont worry about these two other bum ass teams. Bear down or something.

lol the Raiders absolutely dominated the Bears at the LOS on both sides of the ball. That's why they lost.

 

[Enasic]

That was a motivated fix. Doesn’t get any clearer than this game. That’s the NfL for you. Fixes games, slaps guys on the wrist for rape and domestic assault, throws the book at pot smokers and kneelers. Treats deflated ball accusations like murder charges. Just gross all around. And yes, I’ll be watching next week.

Just watched the highlights and those two penalties on such important downs were ridiculous!

it seems like they’re looking to make a call on certain important plays, that’s what it looks like. The players they called the penalties on weren’t even a factor in the play!

I know that’s not an excuse to commit a penalty but those weren’t penalties. Ouch!

there was what looked like pass interference in 4th quarter against a Detroit that wasn’t called. Couldn’t see a replay but it looked like it in the highlight video.

how do they call those ticky tack penalties on huge plays but don’t call penalties on cut blocks that have the potential to really hurt someone? Mind boggling

This is the play your referring to. right call would have given the ball on the Packers 25 and a first. A minimum of three points.

NFL officiating is so consistently bad. Jerry Jones used to argue with me that human error among refs is good for the game because it creates day-after controversy and conversation and increases interest. Maybe so. But I'd rather talk about great plays than bad calls.

I am a Raiders fan and I came here just to enjoy the Schadenfreude of the Packers beating the Lions. You guys have not disappointed.

Bitter, party of a few hundred.

Honestly though. Reading some of the comments is pure gold! I mean you can't get anymore bitter. People actually saying Rodgers isn't that good. Saying the Packers actually are not a good team.. LOLOLOL. The refs won it... etc.

Yes the refs suck. But they suck for EVERYONE. This has been the worst year I can recall as far as officiating. But come on. You all just sound so butt-hurt trying to say the Packers only won because of the refs,

When fans blame the refs it is an attempt to convince themselves of things that are not true. You are trying to convince yourself that the other team is not that good and your team is not that bad. It allows you to still believe your team is good or the other team is bad and the only reason you win or lose are nefarious reasons. It is cathartic way to deal with what you know deep down is the truth. Your team sucks and the other team doesn't. You can actually have an entire college course on the psychology of blaming the refs.

Any Sunday just go read other team message boards. Every message board thinks the refs are out to get their team. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Now, if the refs are out to get everyone then they are out to get no one.

Just face it. Your team aint that good. Take it from me, a Raiders fan. I know bad teams. Heck you guys lost to my team. Come on! Raiders are ok but they aren't really good. But they are better than the Bears. So what does that make the Bears? Or do you also blame the refs for that one?

Bunch of bitter cry babies in here.

By the way. It is now obvious the Raiders won the Mack trade. Thank you guys for Josh Jacobs!!

You're welcome. I can't believe i was dumb enough to make that trade.

With Love,
Ryan Bartholomew Pace, GM

I imagine you've watched that dogshit franchise lose your entire life. Stop bitching. We know every divisional game is your personal SB but get over it. Still lots of games left for the Lions to blow!

 

[Briggs is GOAT]

View attachment 3385View attachment 3385

And I fucking guarantee you if the Packers recovered that Johnson fumble the call would not have been reversed.

Straight horse shit.

 

[bearsforever]

Oh the Rams Saints playoff game last year that pass interference at the end that caused the nfl to allow reviews of pass interference. Fucked them pretty good I’d say!

You are absolutely right. I agree 100% The difference tho is that for that game is was 1 call. A bad call that cost the game. This game piled on numerous bad calls, all against the same team, that allowed the other team to win the game.

What makes it worse, is Flowers has never in his career been called for hands to the face. Yet, the Packers were down 2 scores and guess what, called 2 times (that obviously weren't penalties) both of which resulted in scoring drives. I understand that the Packers would have scored on that last drive no matter what. But Detroit would have had a chance if not for that call and the Packers getting a free first down to run the clock out.

It's not just a few disgruntled fans calling BS on that game, it is the whole sports community.

I'm belly laughing for real. Loser fan of a loser franchise. Worst team in professional sports, bar none. Whats up with those 1934 hats? Is that the last time they were relevant? Because i could have swore that was 1957. Beats me, i wasn't close to being born.

Imagine spending your whole life cheering for 53 Jay Cutlers every year.
