I'll be the first to admit when we straight up get beat.. but this isn't a coincidence..this kind of statement goes hand in hand with 10+ blown defensive holding and a HORRIBLE OPI on Jacoby's game winning TD, Replacement refs are biased and unprofessional, this is even more proof. No place for a statement like that from an "un-biased" official, it's bush league and further proof that the integrity of game has been compromised.

They're like fans. I'll be honest, they're like fans. One of the refs was talking about his fantasy team, [and said], 'McCoy, come on, I need you for my fantasy [team],' Uhhh, what?"

Was McCoy getting fantasy points for a win? The worst calls / non calls were when our offense was out there not when our defense was out there.

Someone else posted that but all we can do is play the game and move on. Its not like were going to get awarded anything from crying over spilled milk.

That's not the point.. that is some blatant bias being shown. Doesn't matter if it was offense or defense out there. If a ref would actually SAY that to a player.. think about what he's telling himself in his own mind. It's about compromising the integrity of the game.. no referee should ever be making statements like this.. ESPECIALLY during a game.
