The Eagles received 7 first downs via the penalty today.

The 49ers 0. By contrast the Chiefs currently have 2 freebies and the Bengals 1. Last week the Eagles were given 1 freebie and the Giants 0. The Bengals were given 3 freebies and the Bills 0. The Cowboys 1 and the 49ers 3. The Chiefs 2 and the Jags 0.

Today was the biggest display of officiating fuckery I have ever witnessed. Nobody will ever convince me this game wasn’t pushed to lean Eagles.
I can’t remember if I saw it on here, or on Twitter…

But Clete Blakeman and his crew officiated the Giants-Eagles playoff game last weekend. The Eagles are 14-1 in the last 15 games that Clete Blakeman and his crew have officiated.

I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy theory, but this just seems like a magical, meant to be year for Philadelphia.
Most of those penalties

looked legit.

and I really doubt once Purdy went out the refs needed to do a thing to help the Eagles win.

no offense to us as Giants fans, but the Eagles may have had the easiest path to the SB in NFL history.

An upstart but clearly over-matched Giants team and a 4th string QB with the 49ers.

There are legit penalties on every damn play. 7 to 0 is a joke. And the one defensive PI today early in the game when Olsen and Burkhardt were going right along with it was comical.
Too much holding and PI on the defense

Casual fan loves the offense. I also blame fantasy football.

They de-emphasize offensive holding. They emphasize defensive call.

The roughing the passer garbage.

Now you can push the QB forward on a QB sneak.

Does every rule need to heavily favor offense. Its ridiculous.
Games today just proved to me they need to go full time

With the refs. Let them work out, view film for schemes and tendencies just like players and coaches do.

The money is there to pay them and while it won’t fix everything, it’ll definitely improve it.

They are essentially full time employees during the season. they get around 250k for the season, not including playoffs if they're selected.

not sure more money gets better results, do you think that's the issue?
Refs didn't need to....but they did push game toward a Reid Super Bowl  
George from PA : 1/29/2023 10:36 pm : link
The roughing the punter penalty that an Eagle player actually caused was bogus and hugh......that drive had 5 penalties....and made game 14-7

They work other jobs during the season or at least a good number of them do.

And yes, I think money is an issue and the owners don’t want to poney up more than what they are now. It’s ridiculous considering the league practically prints money.
Yeah, the officials really stepped up in this game.

That doesn't even account for the 7 the officials spotted the Eagles to start the game.

Or they are that good!

May also be the easiest path to the Crown.

Andy Reid needs to come through.
Most of those penalities were 100% legitimate

San Francisco was sloppy and undisciplined on defense yesterday.

You could tell the SF was pressing once Purdy got knocked out and they felt they had to do more in order to win
Some of the calls were a little tricky tack,  
Section331 : 1/30/2023 3:50 pm : link
but when Purdy went down, SF had no chance to win this game.
