Good post. I can't agree more. The officiating was total crap! Is there some place fans can complain to the NFL? This is totally unacceptable and needs to be reviewed!

Some people will cling to any conspiracy theory they can in order to avoid facing the truth. I guess the only reason the raiders aren't winning is because it's all a NFL conspiracy. They'd be undefeated now and on their way to the Superbowl but the refs are out to get them.

Sad.

look lonely dolt, we are not avoiding the truth. We are looking for the truth. How bout that "roughin the passer" call on your boy brees on the first drive of the game? He was barely even touched!

We should overcome these things, but when they come in double digit numbers, it almost makes it impossible for us to do so.

There's really nothing we can do. I had thoughts of running on the field and body slamming Tom White and back judge #73, but thought better of it. The officiating is terrible all around the NFL, but it does seem we bear the brunt of the incompetence.

Game Over..get over it. Times are tough but it will get tougher if you mix in some conspiracy BS in there that stays inside your head.

CARRY ON WITH YOUR LIVES!!!!

Hey Lone Bolt, my brother is a huge Charger fan, now he doesn't subscribe to the "conspiracy theory" against the Raiders, but he thought the officiating was horrible last game, all in favor of the Chargers of course, luckily, my brother is also a fan of the game, even he admits the bad officiating on the Raiders.

I wouldn't take it that far and say we would be undefeated. However, there were more than a few calls that went against Oakland or Oakland didn't get. I think that read was just a breakdown of some of the missed calls. The roughing on Burgess, holding on Nnamdi in the first, holding on several running plays down the field, the Moss play, etc. in which we simply didn't get the calls. But that's nothing new........it's the Raiders.

Great post. Penalties have always been a part of Raiders life. This year though it is at a fevered pitch. We are not whining, we just want a fair shake. Give us our due. We should not have to overcome the bad penalties to the extent we have received them. We make enough mistakes on our own, don't make it worse by assigning us penalties when we do not make a mistake. I liked that post. It puts it into perspective rather than just complaining about the officiating. Thanks...

**illwill187** · 10-20-2005, 10:04 AM

You are not a raider fan you have no clue what this is all about you dont have to deal with this on a yearly basis

Its not a "NFL conspiracy" its the sad honest truth when you watch it everygame for most of your life you would understand

Its getting absolutley out of control and i almost dont want to watch games anymore because its not fun or exciting I already know whats going to happen for the most part

Its so bad there calling more Phantom penaltys on us at home then on the road

It also doesnt help that Collins is all Messed up and cant QB anymore and turner really sucks at game planning

Get over it.......we have! Because the game was officiated poorly takes nothing away from the Bolts. You guys played a good game and won the battle in the trenches. Again, this article was just identifying some of the missed calls that COULD have changed certain aspects of the game ( field position, score, momentum ).

**raiderroo** · 10-20-2005, 10:05 AM

Yes I agree that we did get shafted on some of the calls but at the same time I dont think we played well enohg on either side of the ball to win the game anyways. We would have made it a closer game but even without penalties LT was running all over the place an it took the Offense too long to get going.

**raider84** · 10-20-2005, 10:07 AM

great post, I did not watch the game, but if that is what really happened then no wonder we lost.

That would have been awesome.
Just make sure when you finally do it that you have a shirt that says Dokie85 on the back (or just scrawl it across your bare back) so we know who you are and we can cherish the video, via the internet, forever
