6:35 this rule is so fucking bullshit it's only objective. Clearly has the ball and is down and Wagner just grabs it from his hands. Down 100/100 times.
The rule states you must maintain possession of the ball through going to the ground. The ball was moving until he was going to the ground at which point he secured it. Because he was still in the process of making the catch while going to the ground, he must maintain possession. He did not maintain possession hence why it is an interception.
10:53 We had some real geniuses in the announcing booth this game: "He's engaged with Aaron Banks, and that leg is back for leverage." Yes, yes, because everyone knows the way you get leverage when fighting against a 300 lb lineman is by holding your leg out in midair. 🙄 I think what actually happened there was the defender's cleat got caught in Trent Williams' shoelace.
My reaction to the explanation was like the scene from Billy Madison after his debate..... "what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul"
The stupid announcers are like "You gotta hold the ball while you go down" like since when is the KNEE DOWN with CONTROL OF THE BALL while BEING TACKLED still a live ball. felt like I was watching a madden sim. lol
It's definitely a terrible call. There's multiple points where Jones has control and is down by contact. Bobby just rips it out while they are on the ground. If that was an INT, every time a player intentionally drops the ball in the endzone, it should be considered a fumble and a live ball.
lmao he never turned to make a play on the ball (as if he knew it was even coming towards him) until they are going to the ground. Was a great play by the offense to try to get around an out of position defender. If the offense plants his feet to make the play, one of them is being carted out because of how on the hip he is. Crazy how "analysts" dont know basic ass PI rules.
The ball wasn't pinned to his body with his shin at a 45° angle while the moon is in retro grade after the 2 min warning before a timeout is called... duh!
I know you don't watch all of the games but there was a bad one in the Commanders v Giants. Horrible missed ripped helmet call on Giants defense right before Slye missed the FG attempt. Even the broadcast didn't even mention it.
Real question I don’t like the new roughing the passer call but whatever they call it sometimes. How is a regular sack with be driving the qb to the ground a flag
Only 1 roughing the passer call this week was "terrible"? I find that hard to believe. Have the refs actually gotten better? Of course there's still so much wrong with the passing game in other aspects (pass interference calls especially) and that seemed to be worse than usual this week - at least going by what's in this video
The nfl is a business. The refs make calls based on that. Why do you think Deshaun Watson got an 11 game suspension instead of 10? Then he comes back against his old team instead of a random opponent.
When the nfl fine people they don’t find them by 50000 no they fine them by 50837 for the adjust of inflation and other factors so it is stupid to think that they only suspend him for 11 cause of that cause you don’t know
WOW. I'm shocked that out of all of those bad to questionable calls, only one involved a possible missed facemask. Although that one should've been called for Horse Collar
I'll say it till the day I die,a bunch of bad calls are by refs that assume the infraction,they don't see it,the players body moves a certain way so they assume it was holding,facemask,illegal blocks or what have ya, and we all know what happens when one assumes something. Lol but it's for real
I wonder when the NFL is going to say enough is enough and fire their Refs. When in a consistent basis I see these videos of 12 plus minutes of terrible calls.
It's sad when you can make a 10-15 min video each week about how bad the refs are. Makes me want to invent an AI ref. I'll make him like Data from Star Trek but he'll go insane from trying to learn from current refs.
I swear the refs are insanely getting worse this season,one thing that burns my butt is a defender getting called for a late hit on a QB sliding when the defender is already committed to his tackle/hit, he's supposed to somehow change his aim in mid air, you know some supernatural bull crap,to me that QB is putting his head in the defenders line of fire. That's why we need an eye in the sky
A lot of these were called right. I guess they fall into the "controversial" category and not "horrible"? A few of them I didnt even see the controversy to be honest
what's a catch, what's holing, what's PI, what's roughing the QB? We don't know, the refs don't know, nobody knows... we have all the technology in the world and still can't figure it out.
The very last call of this video was a correct call. I get it wasn’t helmet to helmet but that was a defenseless receiver and he smacked his head. Hit the receiver in the waist. Get low.
Kinda impossible going full speed when the receiver also ducks his head but I do understand its a dangerous play just hard to do anything else as a defender
10:55 Am i missing something here? He unnecessarily sticks his leg out to tackle McCaffrey. Not sure how that's "McCaffrey running into his leg" when it caused him to fall.
Just accept that ALL penalties are to favor the offense. Big scores makes money. Defense is so hamstrung these days. At all levels. I personally hate the throw away of any sort, but it has become so wide open that throwing the ball away is actually in the game plan it feels like. I know you prep for it, it's a huge portion of offensive game plans.
Can't touch the QB without a roughing call, can't pass rush without hands to the face calls, can't defend passes without PI calls, can't defend kicks without roughing the kicker calls. Playing defense in the NFL rn has to be infuriating.
Another week, another highlight reel of refs fuckin up Coaches need to be able to challenge flag ANY bad field ref call Send it to a senior ref in an isolation booth to review
Dunno why that bills player got ejected. The receiver lowered his own head into the defender's shoulder. What is the defender supposed to do about that lol? Let him catch the TD?
"A sky judge would slow down the game too much", we fans say "AND?! The game already takes three damn hours to watch. I'd rather calls get called right." Like the Bobby "interception". . . that call alone once again raises the question of "WHAT THE FUCK IS A CATCH!" But that's a pick. And who cares if the defender gets hugged, DEFENSIVE PI! O-linemen clearly jumps? NOPE! Offensive PI? Never heard of it! Roughing the passer? If a napkin lands on his toe call it!
Sure. Hamlin’s ejection makes the controversial call list, but what about Epeneza’s ejection from week 5? That to me was very controversial because of the ref John Hussey’s anger getting away from him. That’s inexcusable. As a Bills fan, I obviously never want to have any of the guys get ejected, but at least the two that have, came with some level of controversy. I personally think Epeneza’s was more controversial than Hamlin’s.
Epeneza elbowed Hussey when he shouldn't have. That's why he got tossed. Hamlin' was a bad call since he was not intentionally trying to hit the receiver.
Want to get a free 15 yards on every pass? If the defender is near you when you catch the ball just lower your head. They will hut it every time and boom 15 free.
