Refs don't like Greg Olsen

[OriginalPantherDan]

Once the Colts O-line realized that the refs weren't going to call holding anymore, the entire game changed. Not sure I've ever seen so much holding go uncalled. And don't get me started on that first Colts TD pass push-off...no way we get away with one that blatant. The refs were trash last night.

They said on the post game report that Olsen is the only player in the league that has played every single snap this year. I love Greg Olsen.. Even when he has a pretty sloppy game

[pantherj]

I do remember Ealy getting held on a play where I thought he was going to get a sack. The refs threw a flag on any little thing Greg did, but let their o-line grab away. If you're going to call the game tight, then do it for both teams.

I was terrified they were going to call J No for excessive celebrating at some point just to fug us over even more

[Chaos]

I heard the referees received death threats.

Thunder god is not pleased.  If I were the refs, I would sacrifice Andrew Luck and beg for forgiveness at The Golden Calf of Bristol's alter.  There will be pain.

That first down run was a textbook block and Olsen threw his hands up as soon as Cam went by and they still threw the flag. 

I could see why our D-Line was getting tired.  They were dragging Colt players along with them once they went by.

I agree on that first TD.  Dude pushed Benwikere to the ground and nothing was called.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE DALLAS GAME....CAN'T WAIT TO SEE NEW LEVELS OF B.S. FOR THIS GAME.

Colts were called for 2 penalties for 15 yards. Add in the game changing hold call on Olsen, and the incomplete completion on 4th down for the Colts, and yeah I would say the refs are trying to keep it close. Gotz to keep themz ratings up yo. That's 2 games in a row where refs have forcibly changed the momentum of the game. Last week against Philly when the down by contact Ginn catch was ruled an interception and the hold on Olsen in this game. I don't even watch other NFL games at this point, too much like wrestling with these refs controlling the flow.

It's beyond ridiculous that the refs have instant replay and New York on the line to review plays and they still get the calls wrong.  I'm not a conspiracy theorist but it's starting to seem everytime the idiot refs go under the hood they are getting instructions from the guys in NY to go against us.  If only those conversations could be heard. Reminds me of that State Farm commercial where the refs are discussing with each other how they are going to call the last play but he leaves his mic on and has to call it a first down because everyone can here him talking.

Fans were yelling "Refs you suck" at one point. It is funny when the older lady besides you is yelling it too.

I wish someone in the media would start going hard at the NFL and their nonsense.  It's unbelievable.   

1) Andre Johnson no call on offensive PI

2) Catch in the 4th they ruled out of bounds that wasn't

3) The catch that hit the ground that everyone said was incomplete, but not the refs!

4) Blatant no holds being called all game, even worse in second half.  Colts knew this and were just tackling us

5) Phantom hold on Olson

6) Weird clock stuff going down that last quarter

 

These are just too many coincidences.  The NFL is rigged and it's so obvious.  Have to keep it close.  The announcers wanted that Luck comeback, "This isn't the same Luck we've seen this season!".   All about those storylines.

I still can't believe that 4th down catch where the ball hit the ground was ruled a completion, and upheld upon review.

That basically would have ended the game.

I said before the game no way the refs allow this game to be a blowout. I really feel that Goodell fixes games to make money for the NFL because before him I don't ever remember this kind of officiating.

See, I think because it would have ended the game is why they didn't reverse the call. If that had been a 3rd down throw, they would have overturned it.
