Not sure how some of these refs keep their jobs

It was horrible today. And not just against the Steelers. It was just plain ****** all around. And the idea that they didn't see that ball off Ebron hit the ground was ludicrous. Ebron has to catch better no question, but like **** man what are you seeing. The PI's were brutal all around. There was at least three times where the oline was beat and grabbed the guys hips from behind.
 
The Chase Claypool phantom OPI call was disgusting.
 
The NFL has their hands full these days, but upgrading the officials is long overdue.

The announcers are often better than the bozos on the field
 
The "grab Watt by the waist and and Dupree under his arms because the refs aren't calling holding against us" blocking scheme used by the Iggles was effective against our OLBs today.

That was killing me. We could get no pressure on Wentz because they were being held all game long. No wonder he looked so good.
 
Vince Williams roughing the passer call was terrible.

Just about every pass interference call (on both teams was bad), but that OPI against Claypool should be suspension worthy for the referee who called it. Sooooo bad.

If I am the Commissioner of The NFL and I see a play like, that I'm calling the FBI or the Justice Department to report a possible RICO violation and then, THEN I publicly call out the official for being a complete asshat.

Ben got crushed early in the game, full weight of the defender...I wouldn't have called it but if they are going to call what Vince did, they should have called it.

Ben has always been held to a different set of rules.

That was a **** call, the two PIs on Slay theres was at least an arm grab on those, the call on Claypool was horrible, he didn't even touch the db

It was a later hit than what Williams had on Wentz

To be fair, he was called for landing on the QB with his full body weight. I hate that ******* rule...

He launched himself while Wentz was still in the middle of his delivery, what can else can he do but defy the laws of physics?
 
Don't forget the two missed holds on the long TD run. Both downfield receivers 19 and 84 clearly held jerseys, and dude waltzed in.

Hilton whiffed badly on the play, but it should have been a 20-30 yd gain, not a TD.

I feel the refs were equally bad on both sides today. I dont think the Slay penalties were PI, especially the first one. Of course the Claypool call was bad, but you cant assume he would have had 5 TDs. If he scored there it would have changed the complexion of the game and he may not have even been in position for the final TD. The missed holds / roughing calls / non-calls were bad as well. Just not a good day for the refs

Slay grabbed and held the arm on both PIs at least there something there, the Claypool call was horrible, the db simply tripped.

Thank you, Captain Contrarian.
