Im sick of complaints about officiating

[raiderofOregon]

I'm probably gonna take a lot of **** for this, but I'm just going to say it, I'm sick of all the Raiders fans who do nothing but complain about the officiating in the NFL, e.g. the plethora of posts regarding the officials in the super bowl.

I understand that a lot of fans feel that the nfl calls the Raiders a lot tighter than other teams with regards to penalties, but at some point you gotta just be a man and realize that the game is 60 minutes long and a couple of marginal calls don't make the game for one team or the other.

As a part of being human we are fallable, as such the refs are going to miss some calls every now and then, it is an inevitability just as death and taxes are. Real teams don't complain about the calls, they pick themselves up and play extra hard the next play to make up for the call, teams that let a couple bad calls affect them end up losing games, just like the seahawks did

I'd like to see us as a fan base quit complaining about the officials (in this case it wasn't even a game involving the raiders) it is childish in some respects and it has really been wearing on me the last few days.

i played a lot of competitive sports growing up and one thing that i was always taught was don't worry about the refs, they'll do their thing and your job is to beat the other guys so bad that no number of bad calls could possibly affect the outcome of the game

I think it's laughable that a lot of Raider fans blame the refs for our inept play. Interesting to note that winners don't complain but losers...........................

thats pretty much my point here

[Raidermaiden]

I am sure that holmgren see things quit differently now, I bet he used to think like you.

[raiderman-24]

I agree....the officiating has no problems at all...look at the great job they did in the afc championship game and the super bowl.....great job zebras.

Yeah well when are offense sucked **** for 3 Qtrs and are defense kept us in games we had a chance to win and then a "Phantom" penalty comes from nowhere when we have momentum and a chance to take a lead or win a game

I have no beefs with any raider fan or ANY fan for that matter who bitches about that

Are you really saying we have to outscore every team by 14 points a game just to have a chance at a win?

Cause any close game we have theres a 85% chance we will get a bad call near the end of that game

So until the NFL steps up and admits there refs SUCK and blantantly make bad calls on purpose i dont give a flying **** if we bitch till we hit the grave

I HAVE EYES i see bad calls i know the diffrence between a good call and a bad one

Im the first to admit if the raiders got a good call or bad call

Im just sick and tired of these "Phantom" penaltys that **** us over Trust me we dont need that much help to make stupid penaltys we are pretty good at it

We have to face a good team and the refs everygame and Real raider fans know this and have lived with it every week

NFL refs suck plain and simple

But the worst call of all time is the Tuck without a shadow of a doubt they took 10 minutes to review that play and Meanwhile Tags had ppl upstairs flipping thru the rule book as fast as possible trying to find ANYTHING to reverse that call

Because we raider fans,pats fans,the pats themselves,and media,booth commentators and refs knew it was a fumble Brady even admitted it was a fumble

There was no conclusive evidence to reverse that call its sad that the NFL abuses it's power like that to have another team win

Id be the first to admit if it was a incomplete pass but it wasnt but hey what are we gonna do? theres nothing we can do we cant stop the NFL from doing whatever they want the only thing we could do is hire a hitman to take out Tags but thats Crazy talk......Hmmm....

Anyway i'll bitch about every bad call i want to because it's not fair

Replay is supose to correct the refs mistakes...except they dont like to do that because it admits they make mistakes And they make ALOT of mistakes and the more plays they reverse the more they look like dumbasses so they dont reverse many if they can help it

Replay is worthless if they wont use it right

Ben R. dives in they call it a TD replay doesnt show conclusive evidence that it didnt break the plain

Brady fumbles they call it a fumble replay shows its a fumble they reverse there call because they "Saw" a tuck rule?

everyone in that stadium never heard of what a tuck rule was till that game i dont think i ever heard them enforce that rule in any game i had ever watcheed until that night Weird huh

how bout the horse collar tackle? its a rule but they dont flag it ive seen the tuck rule used maybe 2-3 times since that game thats ****ing weak

refs shouldnt have the power to decide a game and im getting pretty sick and tired of it

If that ref from kansas city screws us ONE more time in a game against the chiefs im gonna find out where he lives.

Thanks for the essay. I agree with you I was just too tired to remember everything and type it.

[Raidermaiden]

Taglibue has lost control of the Refs and needs to step down as commissioner.

[jossjeff]

We agree completely!



Sincerely,

Unbiased NFL refs.

This is part of being in the Raider Nation. We have been getting f***** by the refs for over 20 years. We also suck as a team but thats besides the point. The refs suck.

Yeah my bad once i started typeing i couldnt stop it's alot of years of built up frustration of one bad call after another most raider fans know where im coming from

The NFL is mostly BS

you know why we had so many wins with Gannon and Gruden?

cause we had discipline and we scored alot of points

Its hard for the refs to rim **** you when you play smart football and can score 20-35 points a game =)

We need discipline or we arent going anywhere any time soon oh and we have to get rid of collins quickly

Lets go Whis and walter! 2006 is the start of a new raider era
