Asomugha’s injury not believed to be serious | ProFootballTalk

Norcaleagles:

First of all, the game against San Diego was during the regular season, not a playoff game.

Secondly, you apparently have not watched many Raiders games or you would feel differently. We were screwed out of a repeat Super Bowl performance while playing against Denver in 1977, when Rob Lytle fumbled the ball as soon as he hit our line. We recovered and ran it back for what would have been the winning TD. The only thing is that the refs never saw him fumble and ruled him down. Add in the Immaculate Deception, the Tuck Bowl and the Tony Siragusa body slam of Rich Gannon that was even flagged although it broke Gannon’s collarbone and Raider fans begin to believe that the NFL refs are against them. Add in a few more strange calls over the years, including the game against San Diego in which a Charger receiver catches the ball, falls to the ground and isn’t touched but gets up and spins the ball. Oakland recovers but it is ruled an illegal forward pass. Or the game against Seattle when our safety intercepted the ball at the 3 yard line but slides into the endzone and is touched by a Seattle player. Not only isn’t the play ruled a touchback, but Seattle gets two points for a safety and the Raiders have to punt the ball back to Seattle

In last week’s game Raiders fans saw three very questionable personal foul calls called against their team — on the opening drive! Even the announcers questioned those calls, saying that maybe one was deserved.

As for the Tuck Rule game, that, too, was a terrible call, as Brady had both hands on the ball which was against his chest when he fumbled.’at every level of football, from Pee Wee to high school. College and even the Canadian Football League, that was a fumble.

Yes, we Raiders fans think the refs are against us. Nthe players have changed. The coaches have changed. But one thing has remained constant– the Raiders are always among the most penalized. How else can anyone explain this fact, except to think that the refs are stacked against us.
