I know we are playing bad but ...

[freebyrd]

i seem to remember a defender draped all over a receiver for a non pass interference call. cant'remember who but the refs blew that one

Go look at the damn game.

There were major bogus calls in the 1st qtr that either killed out chances or let the Pats of the hook.

Get a 1st down on the ground ... penalty on Card's ball goes back.

Sack Cassel, phantom penalty that nobody can find. Instead of 2 or 3 and long, not 1st and 10.

No it isn't about persecution, its about how the penalties start top show up on the Pats [and others] in the second half when the game is no longer in doubt, just to make the stats look better.

I'm not blind, I can see them playing badly DUH. But I can also see the heart go out of them a little more for every bogus call. I am also not suggesting we would have won, what I am suggesting is that the script was that the Pats MUST win.

Does anybody here actually suggest these games are called fairly ?

nidan, you are so ridiculously ridiculous with this rant i don't even know where to begin. it wasn't that uneven. yes, the illegal hands to the face call was bad, but you can see why it might have been called as the man was falling to the ground. we flat out sucked from the flip of the coin. stop the conspiracy madness and pull your head outta the sand. this cardinals team sucks.

Baloney. We had one bad call on us early that took away a first down. That sucks, but if you can't overcome that you don't deserve to win a game. They missed a delay of game call, but the Pats threw an incomplete pass anyway. Those were the only bad calls early. Yeah, the officiating stinks, but don't you DARE try to let this team off the hook by crying foul. WE SUCK, and the Pats don't. I don't care if we did make the playoffs and played well earlier in the season, because we suck NOW.

Exactly.

But I'll tell you what, there's some freaky **** going on in Area 51. Seriously.

classic.

That is absolutely WRONG. Dallas lead the league in penalties for years and won 3 Super Bowls.....The Raiders were in the top 3 in penalties when they won the Super Bowl.....Penalties are subject calls...because technically you could call holding on every play.

wouldn't these facts you posted above actually make the case that the games AREN'T fixed for the big market/popular teams?

 

[PACardsFan]

I have to agree with Nidan. The Cardinals have been the recipients of horrible calls since the 60's. Bidwill's old man must have pissed off someone years ago & I'm sure the move to AZ didn't please the NFL either. It has to be more than coincidence that this team gets the short end of the stick about 90% of the time. Call it whatever you want, black helicopters, conspiracy, BUT IT'S REAL.

 

[Sandan]

Data cannot tell you if it was a bad call.

No but it might show a trend

You miss the point.

It isn't about penalties, its about WHEN they are called

Nidan - you should really consider highlighting as a Phoenix Suns fan in the offseason.
