Are MNF Refs on the take, or just in love with the Cowboys

offiss...
You make some valid points and your arguments begin to sound reasonable then you make some ridiculous assertion that basically invalidates everything you've said.

lol yeah that is pretty crazy

Like it or not, the tuck was called correctly. The flaw lies in the rule itself, not with the call that day. The refs got it right.

Take a look at the patriot's first SB how many thought they would win against the Rams? Remember at the time they were 14 point underdog's, I did and I bet them to win, why?

Offiss, how come you say the NFL promotes individuals, not teams, then use a team example for your conspiracy theory?

Offiss, you had me! I thought you were serious until I spotted the wink in the middle of the paragraph! So, SHOW ME THE MONEY!

j/k, It's probably all spent now anyway!

Nothing like an innerOffiss controversy anyway!

The replay thing does need to be looked at. I know repalys cannot be used all the time because in big rivalry games it would take a week to play a game if every close play was reviewed. I think though every type of play should be reviewable and when a challenge is called the challenging coach should be able to say what specifically is to be reviewed if there are multiple infringements that individually would have called the play dead.

What is stuppid in the system right now is certian plays are non reviewable but the plays that are deemed non reviewable tend to be some of the most clear cut decisions in the game like PI and catches.

I wouldn't say I have lost faith in the zebras on the field but they do need to look at thier performance. I did see the BS intentional grounding on Carr that pulled the life out the texans drive especially considering the refs bumbling afterwards and it isn't an issolated incedence.

Maybe the solution is to make them more professional, full time and therefore accountable. Give the ref on the field the option to review a play he is not sure on that kind of thing but something has to be done.

the refs have the option to stop the clock 10 times or 10 plays within the 2 minute warning if need be, so why did they not stop it in such a critical play to the overall outcome of the game.... but, they probably would've effed it up anyways

I feel PI is very hard to call. Unless you are able to watch those guys the entire time I think it's hard to call. Replay on everything. You only get two challenges.

Offiss: I've watched non-skin games before and thought it was rigged. Some things that happen are so unbelievable it seems like they could only be set up. I always think somoene has it out for the skins, so I ignore all those feelings. I like conspiracy theories, and if games were somewhat decided via refs controled by the league, I wouldn't be that suprised.

[cpayne5]

So, the whole league is rigged.

Does this mean that Tagliabue is actually Vince McMahon (of WWF fame) in drag?

[GoSkins!]

I think that the cheerleaders should review all the plays. They may not get the call right but they would look good with thier back sides hanging out while they duck in to watch the review! :thumb:

[Daseal]

I never said it was rigged, Cpayne. Just said it seems like it sometimes =p

Interesting thought CS, if the league is run by the owner's as someone earlier stated, well we know how much the owner's love danny, could be the motivating factor, and my grassy knoll that I have been looking for, it sure look's that way doesn't it!

[diehardskin2982]

ofiss I can believe it I was at that game, on the feild at times and it just seemed like the Rams were so nonscelaunt. either way if it's true or not things need to change!
