Is it my imagination or ar the REFs doing better? (1 Viewer)

Still some doozy mistakes around the league but I have fewer complaints about how our games have been REFed. Am I missing something?

I think you may be right. Very few bad calls.

Ah, just wait for certain big-market teams to need a helping hand

It does feel like they are letting a lot of the ticky tack penalties go, especially compared to the beginning of the season. I've noticed it in other teams games also.

You tend not to notice the refs during an 8 game winning streak.

They have not been hammering us with bad calls. They were hammering us with Bad and Good calls earlier in the season, that trend could return and we could be in line for the hammer once again. Atlanta has seemed to be a place where the refs like to hose us for some reason. Hopefully, they call a fair game on Sunday.

League wide? Absolutely not

Steelers were gifted at halftime against the Ravens yesterday. The Colts/Packers game was an absolute farce last week.

Now I worry you just jinxed the Saints.

Especially going into the Failcons game with Matt Ryan . Using his goto play of throwing it deep up for grabs and hoping for a pass interference call

You're pulling select parts from select games, which inherently contradicts your first statement. If you pull flag totals from earlier in the season, they are likely lower now than they were.

Dude, you’re being suckered in. You know they’re saving the good stuff for the playoffs. Enjoy the calm before the storm but watch the skies. Always watch the skies.

Well, we are 9-2 right?

I hate to doodoo in the Cheerios, but the refs aren’t out to do the Saints in. I always ask who the refs are pulling for mid season and the answer I get is usually never the team who goes on to do very well.

Ravens were robbed.

Maybe too much of my imagination. But a team with a QB who has 11 broken ribs and a punctured lung, with a HOF career, and who is probably in his last year will be gifted a Super Bowl. And a team which was shafted, either due to incompetence or deliberately doing it. All the refs will be thinking, let's back off? This will generate lots of good publicity, and good press?

I had a running thread going tracking the penalty disparity this season, and suddenly after that thread we've not been jobbed. Maybe they figured they needed to do a better job picking their spots for screwing us over. I'm bracing myself.
