Are the refs out to get us this year?

[FrodosFinger]

I’ve never seen it this egregiously obvious and piss poor. I don’t want to sound like that “crazy conspiracy dude” but this is getting ridiculous. Should 5-2 minimum

There were certainly a few rather dubious penalties called against the team worst of which was the phantom false start against our C that tipped Geno over and had Pete telling him to centre himself.

In the end it was yet another poorly refereed game.

That flag on the end zone pick was horrible. Complete BS.

The Saints game was the worst I’ve seen and I’ve been watching football for decades

I'm seeing it from both sides. It's piss poor all around, not specifically against the Hawks but some game altering bs calls have certainly went against us. Every single play or penalty should allowed to be reviewed without the threat of losing a time out. Hell, half the time they get it wrong on review anyway.

I'm just as frustrated as you.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep, it does go on both sides. But I couldn't agree more on the Saints game, they weren't even trying to hide it. We had no business losing that game imo.

 

[FrodosFinger]

I mean I’m all for having female officials but at least get the calls right. That line judge in the Saints game with the long blonde hair and the thick ass was pissing me off.

Referees across the entire league suck. We have just experienced some of the suckiest of the suckers.

 

[jammerhawk]

Yep, that one too.

Seemed as if the Refs were trying to keep the game close.

Refs miss stuff, some more than others. If the misses hit on higher leverage plays it can cause a loss. but in general I've seen poor calls on both sides of the ball this year. The bad calls just seemed to hit us on big plays in a couple games.

But conspiracy theories are a more comfortable space for a lot of fans.

Na. He actually stated in the op that he was not a conspiracy theory guy. He's just venting about horrible officiating and how it's always went against the Hawks lately.
