It was pretty bullshit, pissed me off as a TB backer.

The horsecoller penalty was iffy IMO, but it's a stupid play by the defender. His teammates would've had Barber wrapped up if he had let him go.

Even if I had money on Dallas I'd be pissed. Total fix is in on this game. I can't believe the officiating in this game. My voice is almost toast right now.... And I thought I was pissed, you see Chuckie? I've NEVER seen him that mad - was awesome seeing him keep saying 'f u' while snappin on the refs. Hopefully TB will get some gifts in the second half. On second thought - good time to hedge this one, the fix is in for sure.

yeah, I agree.

TB has been outplaying them.

motherfukin refs giving cowgirls free points

Did you see the hold on the final play of the game? I did. Illegal Contact at least.
THEN, the coup de grace - when all the Cowboy players took their helmets off to celebrate, which is a 15 yard unsportsmanlike... They flag a TB player for 'unsportsmanlike conduct - removing the helmet'.
I was right about the fix - that was as unreal as it gets. EVEN if I'm wrong about the hold - I saw no TB player take their helmet off, but I saw at least 2 Cowboys - I was yelling at the TV in joy because I knew what was coming...
But I should've saw what was really coming.

Funny how I hate losing a 1 unit bet - however, I hate feeling I didn't lose it fair and square. In this game, I did not.

Very frustrating way to lose a game.

Still, Tampa Bay didn't do anything on offense all game. Couldn't turn those drives into TDs. Can't leave games in the refs hands like this.

The call on the unsportsmanlike meant nothing. It was a dead ball call, so even if the call went against Dallas, they still keep the ball.

I didn't understand Tampa's play calling on the last drive. They must have run 12 plays inside the 40 and didn't throw the ball down the field one time? Not even inside the 10? Garcia had plenty of time to throw a fade pass into the end zone on several play. Take a shot. Tampa had to know the refs were not going to help them.
