God Why Can't The Refs Be Fair

There's a theory going around that the league told the refs at the beginning of the season the screw Gibbs every chance they could but that might be a little over the top. The Philly receiver looked like he stepped out at the 47 to me and even the guys in the booth (including Brian Baldhead who is a known 'skins hater). And let's face it, if Ola Kimrin was so great, he wouldn't have been available in the first place. C'mon we signed him from NFL Europe!

Every NFL officiating crew has it in for the Skins. Everyone.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories but w/all of these horrendous(sp?) calls coming from multiple officiating crews, this is just blowing my mind. I don't know what the fudge the officiating crews are watching either during the game or during reviews but this is absolutely ridiculous to be happening with supposed "professional" refs. and I hate blaming stuff on refs but after that terrible review, the momentum was completely on the side of the bastard iggles

LTSF as crazy as that might first appear I was saying similar after the dallas game, there is no way that all these call's don't have ulterior motives there is something to that, I loved the part where the ref comes back from the booth and say's the ruling on the field stand's as if they got the call right, everyone saw him step out of bound's before Gibb's challenged it I was shocked they spotted it for a first down I knew he was past contact before he passed the 1st down marker so essentially he would have had to run out on his own soon as I saw the replay I said challenge and when we did I was saying we finally won one, at the very least he should have said it was inconclusive not that it was basically a bad challenge by us, it was like he was deliberatly sticking it to us, Gibb's face after that call basically said it all, I also liked the spot on McNabb's run on 3rd down to our 12 yard line, Taylor nailed him a yard back and the ref's advanced the ball for a first down, knowing they are on the lookout when a QB run's to see where the ball is when he goes into his slide they spotted it forward anyway, and of coarse we didn't challenge the spot. I know it sound's crazy but there has to be somthing to it.
