Petition to ban Pete Morelli from Philadelphia Eagles games reaches over 40,000 signatures

The Philadelphia Eagles are 5-1 no thanks to NFL referee Pete Morelli. The Birds had to overcome some truly awful officiating on Thursday night to beat the Carolina Panthers. The penalty disparity in the game was an absolute joke.

This was the first time in NFL history one team had over 120 penalty yards while the other had fewer than 10.

This wasn’t just a fluky one game sample size, either. The Eagles have been at a significant disadvantage during the last four contests where Morelli’s crew worked the game.
