Even the announcers are bashing the officiating in this Texans Jags game.
“That’s about the first one I agree with.”
“It’s these type of plays that have to get really frustrating as a player, as a coach”
Followed up with some more garbage officiating in the Eagles Bills. Missed horsecollar tackle on Allen, Slay getting away with full on tackling guys and obvious jersey tugs before the ball even gets there, even one pretty obvious shoulder check to the face of a defenseless receiver.
I’ve seen so many ticky tacky jersey tugs that ultimately don’t end up affecting the route get called this season its easy to see why people think ref favoritism is going on here, especially juxtaposed with the phantom holds in that Jags game. There were multiple no-calls where the refs are staring directly at the play during the replay, while the announcers are basically just like “How can they keep getting away with this? It’s you can’t do that”.
I think the Eagles had one accepted penalty against them by the fourth quarter. It was absolute madness. Then the refs even call back a potential game sealing fumble despite the receiver securing it and clearly taking two steps before losing the ball.

I think everyone in the league is pretty much in agreement, I mean just look at em.
If anything last year’s run just put em in the spotlight and Eagles fans did the rest
It worked 1/3 times which was enough to get them the TD. I didn’t notice as much outside of that one drive so it probably just sounded like I was bitching for no reason unless you read the comment right as that drive was happening.
They would get a little contact and then fall over flailing their arms wildly calling for a flag. Same shit happened to Fred Warner in the SF game on a PI to put the Bucs at the 1.
It’s definitely being coached into the receivers now because why the hell wouldn’t you take the free yards on a pass that’s otherwise well out of reach? Can’t blame the players or the coaching really but it still feels scummy
