Well the lack of proof is the proof of conspiracy. If there's proof, it's not a conspiracy anymore...

 

Anyway, I would suggest almost everyone around here to go back to the OP and read it.

Huh?   A conspiracy is a secret plan by a group of people to do something harmful or illegal.  How is a lack of proof proof there is a conspiracy?  Without proof there is still either a conspiracy or no conspiracy.

I listen to both Doc Walker and Brian Mitchell's shows because these are two guys in which I have major respect for their football minds.  BOTH guys on their shows made it clear that officiating had absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of our game against Dallas.  They would even cut short calls of fans whining about the refs.  Brian Mitchell even made some even bigger points that I didn't realize.

 

He said for all of the conspiracy theorist, did they realize that the Skins aren't the most penalized team in the NFL?  Did they realize that Dallas had more penalties coming in to the Thanksgiving game than the Skins?  He also stated for everybody crying about the refs in our last game against Dallas, BOTH teams finished the game with the same amount of penalties.  We had 4 penalties for 70 yards, they had 4 for 75 yards.

 

Mitchell even defended the refs on the Jordan Reed non call that I heavily disagreed on until I listened to his reason and I went back and watched the play over again.  Mitchell stated that the refs were right for not throwing the flag against Dallas because the rule was established for players who strike with the CROWN of the helmet.  The Dallas defender did not do that.  He stated that the Dallas defender had his head up with and his palms up almost as if he was trying not to create the look of a personal foul.  Mitch was right.

 

Brian also stated that it was bad officiating all through the game and not one sided.  He brought up the point 3 times that the refs missed a face mask call that Dallas committed on McCoy, but they also missed a when Dak's face mask got snatched as well. 

 

In conclusion, I'm right in the same mindset of these former greats Doc Walker and Brian Mitchell.  The Dallas game was clearly not loss because of the refs and their ain't no damn conspiracy or bias against the Washington Redskin.  I trust their opinions because I saw what they saw.

I’m convinced you will never convince a conspiracy theorist there is no conspiracy no matter the proof, or in this case, the lack of proof.

Could you please explain why this is out of the realm of possibility for you?  Why are people so above reproach with you on this issue?  People have done monstrous things throughout human history, but for some reason, for you, this is a bridge too far.  

 

Many of these calls or non-calls have been so blatantly obvious against this team that to not even consider it an option appears as bad a call as many of these awful calls the refs have made or not made (against this team). 

 

As far as I'm concerned, a bias acted on by one referee is a conspiracy.  A one-person conspiracy is still a conspiracy.  Something is not on the up-and-up with this team.  It stinks to high heaven.

Of course it’s POSSIBLE.  It’s also possible I run for President in 2024 and win.

But I don’t believe in conspiracy theories because of bad calls against my team.  I watch a lot of non- Redskin football games and see bad calls called all the time.   I go on other forums and see complaints about officiating all the time.  I don’t recall seeing “thank goodness the refs liked us” posts.

Is it against the realm of possibility that you see what you want to see?

Not sure who this guy is, but good watch of what's been happening in recent weeks

 

 

Tried to watch it but after 10 seconds of listening to this guy I wanted to punch him in the face.

I just saw a commercial on Fox for the game on Thursday. It was a with some woman on a plane and talking about not the end of the world if the flight is delayed but she was suggesting it would be the end of the world because of "how big the game is". The NFL and the network clearly care about ratings and want first place Cowboys, Americas team in prime time against the rolling Saints. The NFL clearly wanted the Thanksgiving game to be for first place. It's up to you decide if this is a conspiracy. I say no but sometimes it don't half make you think, when you see obvious stuff missed.

I know one thing.  If there was a conspiracy I wouldn’t bother watching Redskins games if the outcomes of key games were predetermined.

I'm still just pissed.  

 

And while I appreciate those who think the conspiracy is all bogus.... I still think you're all blind and naive.  The bias is real, and it's ridiculous. 

 

I'm damn near over it. 

 

Hail. 

There is a difference between conspiracy and bias.  There is no conspiracy.  Everybody has bias.  But I doubt it plays a significant role in most games.  It’s a time honored tradition to complain about officiating.  Fans of all teams do it.  One day perhaps robots will take over officiating.  And then people will complain about the bias of the programmers.

Some of the calls are disturbing but as a team you have to learn to move on from that. This team has had questionable and shady officiating against them for years. It has NOTHING to do though with the 40 yard or the 90 yard TD passes. I am more concerned about the defense giving up on both those than the officiating. 

 

Officiating plays a factor. I honestly have NEVER officiated a game in my life, little league or professional. I can't see how these dumb refs always get the call wrong or blatantly miss things. But it's not the only factor. I've always said this...you can't DEPEND on the officials. You need to play well REGARDLESS of whether the officials are on your side or not. 

 

The Redskins did that for a half. Then they lied down and had too much Turkey and said "I give up" in the 3rd quarter. THAT is why they lost. Because Cooper broke free for 40 yards, and Cooper had the longest catch and run of the 2018 season. It had nothing to do with the officials. 

Sure it does.  The officials should have tackled Cooper.
