    WTF was the "official" explanation of the no horse-collar on Cooper?

    Seriously, it was blatant, how the hel# do they pick up that flag???

      It seemed even more bizarre than that. It looked like 3 different officials threw the flag for that horsecollar tackle and then the head referee talked them all out of it.

        The explanation is that the officiating in the NFL is ruining the sport.

        Calls like that are only explained by either an intentional fix on the officials part or such incompetence that the official should be fired.

        That penalty could not have been more obvious and occurred at a time when it impacted the game.

        This was not in the 1st quarter ... it was on the deciding drive of the game.

          The non-challenge on the Polk spot drives me more crazy...Even Shady getting the hand-off out of shotgun at the goal-line drives is worse.

            His stupid ass explanation for not going under center was fucking lame.

              Yeah they talked all week about how he is better under center when handing off to McCoy. I don't get it. That play and the Foles rollout on fourth down at the goal-line in the SF game make me sick.

                If he's afraid of them stacking for the run ... go under center and spread 4 wides.

                  was another blatant no call.....again we watch Eagles games closely so it's sounds like we are being whiners but I'm seeing this nonsense happening in other games as well. It's becoming a huge distraction.

                    Or the pick that was pick and one that looked identical and wasn't.

                      The illegal block on Maehl was more infuriating to me. The horsecollar has those weird rules about pulling down and where the hands are and stuff, so if one ref thinks both hands are on the back, rather than one on the collar, they might (wrongly) pick it up, as they did in this case.

                      The Maehl flag seemed like someone threw the flag for one penalty that they realized didn't occur (offensive pass interference), then decided to think of another one to call.

                        When I read the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be about PSU's trip to Second Mile.

                          ..is the NFL is amending rules and preaching about player safety,head trauma blah blah...yet something like that goes without notice?

                          All the noise that has been made this last couple years and an enforcer of the NFL rules lets that ride.


                          Blatant incompetence.....didn't these buttfucks just renegotiate ?

                            There's an old saying ... the best sports officials are the ones you don't remember.

                            I used to look for flags only on kick returns ... now I'm looking on every big play.

                            No good.

                              They're throwing so many flags for nickel and dime bullshit, it drives you nuts when they miss a blatant 15-yarder.
