Every team can find reasons to complain about the officiating literally, every single week. And they’re not wrong, either.
Officiating has progressively gotten worse over the years, but it’s something out of our control. It’s awful in the NHL too. It’s awful in MLB as well.
I stopped bitching about things we as a team can’t control.. I focus on bitching on the things we can control..

Daboll is doing an awful job this year. We’re so freaking predictable. Allen has short, middle and deep range options at his disposal yet we rarely see all three regularly exploited.
How the f*** do you not get Beasley more involved in a game like tonight? Where are the screen passes? Misdirections? End arounds? Shovel pass options? Delayed draws?
Why the f*** are we calling running plays between the tackles with Singletary over and over?
It’s frustrating when we lose to a team that outplays us. It’s even more frustrating losing because we beat ourselves. It’s not even Us vs Them. It’s Us vs Ourselves.
The Colts whipped out asses this year. Our other 4 losses have been from self inflicted wounds.
Awful ball management. Penalties. Play calls. We keep losing the fight in the trenches. McDermott, Frazier, and Daboll all need to look eachother in the mirror right now. And Beane has to do a better job realizing a shitty Oline and shitty RB’s is going to put too much pressure on Allen.
What a miserable night. My f***ing week is ruined. And it’s not because we lost. It’s because of how we lost.
couldn't agree with you more here. some of the officiating decisions (missed calls, bad calls, bad spots/reviews) certainly affected the game as they have around the league the past few years (which honestly I will never get over because of the whole obvious sports betting conflict of interest thing, whatever), but we killed ourselves in the pats red zone. they couldn't stop us in the second half, we just didn't get points in the redzone, which imo is on daboll.
9/10 we win that game. the pats offense couldn't do anything. we were driving on them. we basically just lost because of a few drops and some bewildering play calling decisions.
I swear to god I think we put up more points with some of you guys calling plays tonight instead of Daboll. It was that bad. This guy is either a genius, or a flat out moron with his play calling. There’s no in-between.
the other thing that bothers me about daboll is that he is never on the freaking field!!!! he just sits up there in the press box totally disconnected from his players and fellow coaches. and it might be the reason for some of these stupid play calls where he just seems totally out of sync with what the players are doing well.
I don't even think he's capable of genius like some people say. he's either an average OC with the players doing elite things, or a horrible OC that the players try to compensate for, can't, then get frustrated and its a vicious cycle. either way, he is not the guy. we need a real OC. time for daboll to go, and if he's still here next year, it definitely raises some major red flags with mcbeane in my book.
