They had an INT taken away due to the bogus roughing the passer penalty , which gave them the ball back and a free 15 yards. Then on the very next play they called a late hit penalty that gave them another 15 free yards.

Their 2nd scoring drive was kept alive and jump started by one of the most bogus face masking penalties I've ever seen, which also gifted them a free 15 yards. Went from their own 25 yard line, to their 44 yard line. Huge difference in field position and turned what would have been a 3rd and 2, into a fresh set of downs.

They called Defensive holding on Hayden I think it was, at the end of the game in our end zone, when Malik Jackson was very clearly being held on that same play.

We had 3 penalties called on us in the 1st half... Two of which were Offensive Holding. One by Westbrook and one by Shatley. The other was a 12 man in the huddle penalty. Both of those holding calls that got called back, would have been a converted first down as well.

They had 2 of their penalties in the 1st half. The first one was an Illegal shift (5 yards), only 6 minutes into the game. The 2nd was an Illegal Contact penalty on Haden. Meaningless 5 yard penalty, considering we had a positive gain on that play and converted a first down. Was 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter at that time. Their 3rd and final penalty was yet another 5 yarder... A false start with like 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and two plays later Gipson busted coverage on Brown's long TD.

1st drive of the 2nd half, Parnell got called for a Holding penalty which turned a 3rd and 2 into a 3rd and 12. We got sacked the next play and punted. I could go on and on and on but I've over it honestly... They had 2 penalties in the 1st half, we had 3. They had 1 in the 2nd half and we had 8... [BLEEP]. I simply don't understand how we continue to get multiple Offensive Holding penalties called on us every game. But other teams never get a single Offensive holding call against them when going against our DL. Our DL is being held constantly and it's never called for us. It's getting beyond the point of one sided reffing and it's pathetic.

Marketability. Run first offense, defense, and BORTLES? Hell.... I'd do the same thing if i'm Goodell... nobody wants to watch this trash it's why we got flexed. END OF THE DAY.... the game should of been longgggggggg over man. Long over. Excuses excuses, but the win was there.... the team lost it. Coaches and players... they lost it. Not the refs.
