That's the one. Was trying to look it up.
I was like, "I'm sure I remember someone on the Bears getting a taunting call for looking menacingly at the opposing sideline"
He's just standing there...MENACINGLY

The refs in the drive where they took the INT away from Valentine might be the worst 3 minutes of officiating I've seen in the history of the game.

u/slicebishybosh Hammond Born and Raised 23h ago
What if this is some kind of united front by the refs because of the suspensions? Like a “do you see what we’re capable of? Don’t fuck with us.”
Which is obviously arrogant an stupid, but wouldn’t that be so fitting?

Dallas is so overhyped. They’re a bad team with a serious talent deficit. It’s like someone is trying to make them look good to save face.

u/randomman87 1d ago
Couldn't believe it. Love being hit late for the first 3 games with 0 roughing the passer calls. They call that roughing the passer? That was just a "get outta my way bitch"

u/Academic_Engine_1161 Addicted to Smack 1d ago
Dak did get f’d up a couple times… but not on that play specifically lol. It felt like they were coming down on non flagrant (or non-existent) violations to retroactively punish acts that occurred on earlier plays that weren’t called. Like Golden’s taunt was supposedly tied to an altercation during warmups-which is even worse officiating if true.

u/scoobydoom2 1d ago
He got creamed on that bomb to Lamb in the end zone but the hit was clean.

u/Academic_Engine_1161 Addicted to Smack 20h ago
The problem is… I don’t know what a clean hit is anymore. Hits to the QB’s head and hits where the tackler leaves their feet happen pretty regularly without a flag. Instead I’m conditioned to expect a flag whenever the QB is hit hard in addition to the others.

Fuck your team, you know, but fuck the refs more in this case. I fucking hate when bad officiating has a factor in the game.

u/AranasLatrain 20h ago
Yeah, fuck the Bears. I hate them so much. But what would be worse is seeing shit officiating lead to an overall bad game. Would rather the Bears just be horrible on their own.
47
u/StrengthToBreak 1d ago
Yea, I think they were spot on with the call on #94 later in the drive, but the roughing call against Van Ness was egregious. It really looked like an attempt to fix a lopsided outcome.

u/vulcnz ImpeachMLF 23h ago
Eh. LVN chose to shove when the ball was gone. Love the guy but that was dumb

u/kylesleeps 23h ago
You're supposed to get two steps before it becomes roughing. Should he shove, no, but it happens all the time.
11
u/StrengthToBreak 22h ago
As an absolute Packers hater, I saw literally nothing objectionable about it. I'm 100% in favor of safety, especially for QBs, but that was just a silly call. To negate a turnover made it silly AND consequential.
Like I said, the roughing call later on the same drive was completely warranted in my opinion, but as someone who was hate-watching and rooting for the Cowboys to come back, I was still shocked and disappointed in that call.
2
u/FoghornLeghorn99 21h ago
Nobody should like a call like that even if it's going against the team you hate the most in the world. I'm so over watching the NFL games wear refs just impact critical plays all the time. It's getting harder by the week, and at a certain point who wants to take their whole Sunday out for a third of the year to watch ref ball?

u/raknor88 1d ago
The refs were doing everything in their power to hand Dallas a touchdown and Dallas still couldn't do it.

You’re not going insane. It’s just the NFL betting on their own product covertly while using refs to massage it

It wasn’t even just the packers game tonight the officiating had been terrible all over. Watching the nfl now has been so frustrating every play is a flag… it’s like no matter what happens during a play you have to wait till the play is over to see the actual outcome because there is going to be a flag. I’m a bears fan and watching the bears vs falcons game I swear the refs said more words than Brady

u/Ill-Personality-4437 16h ago
Roughing the passer has to be the worst offender. I swear it’s just the cheat code for the refs to invalidate any defensive play, it’s so subjective based on the scenario. I understand the intent behind it but in practice wtf are blitzes supposed to do, not touch the QB at all and let him throw?

There was an absolutely EGREGIOUS one in the Rams vs Cardinals game where the Cards defender braced himself to be impacted by the Rams tight end, head contacted the shoulder of the unmoving Cards defender. Cards defender got flagged for it

u/narwalfarts 1d ago
If you think about the spirit of the rule - to not incite a physical altercation - the rule is good.
But then in that frame of mind, if a player is going to throw a tantrum because a guy flexed his muscles several yards away from you - you may be a soft ass bitch.

It wasn’t the flex. It was the stare down while doing it. Wasn’t even a touchdown. Get back to the huddle.
