Premature Whistle? what the NFL says

- Got away with an illegal pick play on a TD drive.

- Were gifted a timeout when the snap was clearly BEFORE the timeout call. At worst that should have been a flag on the D for 12 men on the field.

- Waved off a legit roughing the passer on the Raiders and hit us with a phantom one.

I agree that this ref crew was a joke but let's be real, the Raiders got a lot of zebra love.

This so much. Raiders got some ridiculous calls, especially that timeout. We ran a play and got a long first down and then the refs are all like "Nah". Just terrible officiating that hurt us as much as it hurt them.

And of course even if that TD had been replayed and not made, we still would've kicked a field goal and won by 3.
