The Cards fans have been screwed by Bill bidwill, Tempe, ASU, politicians, the tv networks and the league for over two decades. I still remember a certain Steeler with his foot on the chalk being handed a touchdown and costing us a Super Bowl.

If this had happened to the Browns, Seahawks or the Cardinals, no one would care. But it happened to one of the massive bandwagon machines in the league. It was one play and it happens. The referees jobbed the Seahags time after time in the 2006 super bowl and no one cared. Let the big-mouthed weasel "Packer fans" from anywhere but Wisconsin whine like babies. We have seen worse

Still, they straight up took the game and handed it to the other team.

the SB "catch" was a catch. This very much IS our fight though. Not the particular call, but did you watch our game yesterday? Or vs SEA? We got **** on hard by the refs. We overcame it, but how long do you want to rely on our guys being good enough to beat our opponents and the refs every game?

This is our fight if the Seahawks beat us by one game for a playoff spot at the end of the season.

The only way this gets buried is if the Hags go 4-9 the rest of the way.

This is everyone's fight who cares about the NFL at all. Regarding this call on MNF, it also involves us because the refs gift wrapped a win for the 'hags; affects the NFCW

Wrong is wrong and no fans should except it. It was wrong on a bigger stage with the outrageous calls as Hassleback being called for an illegal block while trying to tackle on a interception and it was wrong tonight when the only thing Tate ever got under control was Jenning's arms and not the ball once they both hit the ground. It was beyond horrible. It is was like wrong and bad...it was badong :D

The only way to really force the owners to capitulate is to turn off the TV and not show up at the stadium. Just like when they used replacement players.

Who is willing to do it?

The only way this gets brought up is if we lose the division or Wild Card to the Hags. I don't see that happening

The decision the Scab referees made tonight affects the NFC West, NFC North and all NFC Wild Card implications!

That was disgusting. Goodell is pissing away the NFL's popularity with every week this circus continues. God forbid something like this happens to the Cardinals. I have a feeling the regular refs will be back for week 4.

the specific play, yes. But again, the officiating is just God-awful. If this is the wakeup call the league needs to get the old ones back, good, we should make as much of a scene as we can...

Seahags could say the same thing about the refs in the SuperBowl against the Steelers. Illegal contact by Hasselback on a block?

But this was on the last play of the game on a scoring play in a 5-point game. That's as close to deciding game based on who you want to win as you can get. At least say, when Braylon Edwards as a Brown wasn't whistled down vs. us in 2007 we had time to compensate for it.

Super Bowl is more important and the REAL refs jobbed us and the Seahawks in favor of the Steelers on separate occasions.

CT its NOT Goodells fault. This is on the owners, which Roger works for. Blame them, not the league Commish

The picture below was our fight in the most important game in professional sports and no one cared. But this happens to a massive fanbase of bandwagoner casual fans with no connection to the team and the media will cover it for a week.

And yes, we also got jobbed by the "real refs" against the Giants last year and no one cared. Let the Packers choke on it for once
