    The C.J. Catch was not a catch per the craziness of the NFL rule book so you can drop that. The Refs were a special kind of bad but BOB and whoever is the play caller were just down right awful. Can't put this all on the refs

    That's the ugliest ****job I've seen in Mexico since a Nuevo Laredo donkey show in 1994.

    Was just watching NFL Network, they cut to Brock's press conference. Brock gets a question about the lasers and the bad calls and while in mid sentence they immediately cut to an NFL fantasy performer of the week video clip and while they made that awkward cut they (NFL Network announcers) were cracking jokes on Brock. Why do you think they would do that?

    Whoa. Is this real life?

    As a former UIL official, this display is inexcusable.

    Not really. He had over a 66% completion percentage despite several drops, a laser in his eyes off and on, and total BS from the refs that took a long TD away and another long pass to CJ Fiedorowicz. All things considered, he played extremely well. There were some bad passes, but honestly, that's nitpicking.

    Yeah.......Osweiler has been quite unimpressive so far this season but he actually looked decent for the most part in this game. The offense as a whole looked better than it has in a while. They still have a lot of kinks to iron out but progress is progess. Painful loss. I hate Roger Goodell and his lackeys with a passion.

    Another thing that hasn't been mentioned here is the pass interference call on Bouye where it was nothing more than feet getting tangled up which is deemed "incidental contact" and NOT a penalty. If not for that HUGE call it would have been 4th and long from the 32 setting up a 49 yard FG instead of the gimmie that they ended up with. Maybe the kicker still makes it, but it was yet another example of the refs handing the Raiders free yardage which kept the defense on the field longer.

    This really was the worst officiated game I've ever seen in the NFL, we need to bring back the replacement refs.

    66% of dink and dunk completions. The refs weren't to blame for this loss. That's for sure.
