Well, that was a shitty Thanksgiving surprise. I had expected the game to be close but we lost to a team that was really struggling the two or three weeks prior to use playing them, at home.
Haven't went through this whole thread yet but seems everyone saw the same thing. Our team didn't play well but that has to be one of the worst officiated games ever. That entire crew should be fired, how the fuck do you let a crew go out there and call nearly 30 penalties on a huge Thanksgiving game? And this crew has been absolutely garbage for several seasons now, and the league has done nothing about it.
I honestly have no desire to waste my time watching this kind of shit. I hardly ever watched any games not involving Dallas anyway, and I absolutely will never watch another NFL game unless the Cowboys are part of it going forward. I am not saying the refs had it in for us, but its clear to me they wanted to do everything in their power to influence the outcome. You cannot look at all those calls and non-calls and write it ALL off as just "oh they just missed that" or "well it was a judgement call". I absolutely 100% believe this ref crew (and some others) are involved in high level gambling. The league office cant sit there and watch this kind of garbage week after week and the thought hasn't occurred to them either, but there's no way they'll ever investigate it. If they did and found proof of this, the NFL would be ruined as fans would go fucking ape-shit.
Our team fucking sucked and the OL's inability to run block is now a serious, serious concern. We cant even open holes against bad run defense teams, but they would have won this game had it not been for the refs. We watched Chiefs DB's fucking rape and assault our receivers and TE's all game long last week and they didnt call shit, and 4 days later we watch them flag our DB's for all kinds of phantom garbage. The massive discrepancy in offensive holding calls for/against our guys has been ongoing for years and was obvious again Thursday. Then there's that inexplicable he caught it and fumbled, oh no wait he really didnt catch it garbage.
I hate this fucking league and everything about it. They have a 100% garbage product with a corrupt league office and massive gambling problems with the officials. I honestly wish it would just go bankrupt and cease to exist, or even better have Trump and others bring back another legit competing league (ala the USFL) where corruption and woke fucktard politics arnt involved.
End of rant.
