I'll never understand why the NFL even bothers with instant replay if they're not gonna use it to get calls right. Just get rid of it if you aren't gonna use it
WHY not have a replay ref up in the booth to handle it? -is where it goes wrong....... WHY let the guy who blew the call on the field be the one reviewing it...?
I’m a lions fan but that intentional grounding call on the Seahawks was something else. I can’t even begin to wonder what the hell the refs were thinking.
yea seahawks fan here and that no call holding in ot was bs. i just wish more fans understand bad calls are bad calls. dont support bad calls just cause they go your way.
@@jeremiahbachmann3901you definitely don’t know how intentional grounding works then. He wasn’t throwing the ball away, it was meant for a receiver but the quarterback confused the route.
@@landinhoule5096 How is anyone other than the Seahawks supposed to know if the WR is running the wrong route? I don't like the call because pressure should be taken in to account, but from the refs perspective, it looks like Geno threw a ball away from literally everyone, while in the pocket.
@@jackstifter7809 can’t believe that one (or any of the other clear holding no-calls against hutch, for that matter) wasn’t included in this comp. Although as a lifelong lions fan I’m so used to getting screwed at this point lmao so I’m not surprised
As a Broncos fan, I am still mad about that game. So I have a lot to say, here. That was PI at the end. I'm not saying that the second try would've been successful, I'm just saying they should've had a second try. Now, the refs were not the reason we lost. There were missed calls against us, but we really had no business losing after taking a 21-3 lead. We shouldn't have let it get to that point to where we needed a hail mary. The refs missed a facemask on Washington when we were up 21-3, and the wheels fell off after that. Russ should've fallen on that ball even if he felt he was down. I'm mad at my team for falling apart after a phenomenal first quarter and a half.
As a Washington fan, I agree that your team should've gotten a second attempt on the 2 point try at the end of the game. I'll also say this, refs have been fucking up when it comes to not calling face masking penalties going into a second straight season and that's worrying, and disturbing. My worry is, the refs are going to not call a face masking penalty and it's going to lead to a player getting seriously injured because of it
@@Zortbrain Agreed. But that's not to take anything away from Washington. The refs were not the reason they won. They came to play after a rough first quarter and a half. The Broncos got way too comfortable with their lead, and Washington just kept creeping back into the game and took it from under our nose.
@@BroncoJosh Oh I know. I'm not taking anything away from Washington battling back from being down 21 to 3. I don't think it was so much just the Broncos getting too comfortable with that lead, but it was also that one turnover that gave Washington the spark they needed to comeback. I'll also say that for most of the first quarter, Washington's offense looked good, but they had that missed field goal on the opening drive and then their next drive they were moving it down the field again only to stall out and settle for a made field goal.
Someone above said get rid of instant replay if you're not going to use it. I'm in favor of either getting rid of it, or using it to affirm or negate penalties. Penalties hold massive weight in the game. A winning touchdown can be called back for an error in judgement. It's just not right. This needs to be fixed. The fans are fed up.
@@SixStringSchoolMaybe either during the last few minutes of the game or the whole 4th quarter the NFL reviews all penalties during that time. Yeah, it might slow down the game quite a bit, but it helps to get the calls right. Hopefully 😂.
Man did anyone notice that basically every game this week, all the refs were BAD? like i get it as fans we will always complain, but my goodness EVERY game this week there was bad/missed calls i could have sworn replacement refs were in this week
It's not that they're bad; it's just that the script is awful this year, and the refs are having to work harder to get the game outcomes the way they are supposed to go.
Ref quality dropped once sports gambling was legalized. For legal reasons I will make no accusations, but I will say that it sure is one hell of a coincidence.
13:50 As a Cowboys fan, just want to apologize for the ridiculous roughing call that was called against the Jets. It turned what should be a highlight reel play and sack into a penalty. NFL has to get this fixed.
Completely changed the game. Field goal or potential go for it and miss on 4th down and the score stays tight. The 8 points that ensued put the game out of reach for Zach Wilson. One of several times the refs helped the Dallas O stay on the field on a busted 3rd down. Refs came back to help the Jets in the 4th quarter but not until it was already garbage time. Thanks for nothing lol
I'm not sure on the pressure part but he was in the pocket and the ball was nowhere near a receiver. If you remember, before they were allowed to spike the ball to stop the clock they would throw it over the head of the receiver to stop it.
2:09 As a TCU fan, I recall a game where Baylor grabbed our receiver's jersey and pulled him back and we were flagged. Thankfully they reviewed it and got it corrected. Other times, the officials just didn't like a player and would call any touching a penalty. Player changed jersey # one game and didn't get called. But damn, that BAL/CIN game the officials seemed to have really not gotten together ahead of time on who they were betting on to win.
A lot of games are decided every weekend by horrible calls. No wonder so many are tuning out of the NFL. Just makes it look like the games are all rigged.
The officials are ruining the game one B.S. call at a time. It's also clear they play favorites as some teams hold almost every play and dont get called while others are called for any tiny infraction.
Do people think the Bills/Raiders call starting at about 8:55 ending around 10:24 was pass interference? It’s not like there was pushing or holding or keeping the Raiders player for making a play. Bills player barely touched him at all. - a CFL fan
@@iam_kuz I agree, 2 things I look for in a PI call, 1) was the ball catchable ✅ 2) did the defenders contact significantly impede the WRs ability to catch the ball, ❌ That’s why is was picked up. And that’s why I agree with the call
Nobody will be happy with the refs calls late in a game. Bradberry gets called for a hold late in the Super Bowl but nobody wanted it to be called. Now this season refs are letting them play late in the game but everyone hates that they aren’t calling these penalties. Where is our middle ground?
SOMEONE is going to bitch no matter what. However, there is a clear goal to strive for here: Call penalties that effect the play or are clear violations. Do not call penalties that have no impact or don't clearly violate the rules. It's never going to be perfect. Not even close, so the best alternative is to allow teams to challenge penalties the same way they can challenge plays. With the current rules for challenging, that would be AT MOST 6 challenges more per game. It also gives the refs a little leeway in "letting them play" late in games or to hold a flag on something they're not sure they saw. Simply allowing the challenging of a penalty would've eliminated most of the calls on in this video, without drastically altering the rulebook or the games themselves.
@@user-ll4vp6wn2cyour quarterback was worse. And your last quarterback was a fucking rapist. And there was contact before the ball arrived. That’s a penalty. But we can’t allow shittsburgh to go 0-2 now, can we?
And yet there's far more that wasn't in the video is quite telling. It shows how bad/biased the Refs are anymore. Paid to make certain calls upon certain conditions. All to either make one team the clear winner or to influence high-scoring games on both sides.
And they didn't want to bring in "the Belichick Rule" aka everything can be reviewed by replay challenge.... the Belichick Rule if brought in, would fix so many howlers
You could make a half hour video on the terrible calls and lack of calls in the Detroit vs Seattle game alone. Even the "I'm talking to America here" call was a BS call.
TBF I don't mind the refs letting the Eagles and Vikings play. They seemed pretty consistent with letting the DBs contact the receivers a bit more than usual.
6:00 Good luck getting that call in Pittsburgh ANYTIME let alone the end of the game. The NFL couldn't have the holy Steelers go 0-2 at home to start the season. 😂
@@AJK967there was illegal contact BEFORE the ball arrived. That’s a penalty. But the refs gotta help out the Steelers just like they did in rapelisburgers two Super Bowl “ wins”
I'm honestly amazed there isn't any plays from the dolphins pats game. Cause There were two that could be argued. The supposed first down the patriots had on their last possession as well as the Very Illegal td that Hunter Henry had where he blocked a DB around 5 yards ahead of the line of scrimmage as well as the fact the entire offensive line was in front of the line as well. On a passing play that would be considered 6 ineligible receivers downfield. I didn't see the TD issue at first, but then it was brought to my attention and I'm just surprised the refs are THAT blind
The fact that Pass Interference is the most subjective penalty in the game along with the potentially most devastating really makes it hard for me to take football too seriously.
the bewford raiders play was called clean actually. started contact when ball came in receiver chose to get close to the sideline. You can push them out as long as youre not early
They would show sneed clamp play on Ridley but they won’t show Marvin jones choking n pulling Bryan cook from behind to stop a easy interception 🤦♂️ Cook was hurt after Jones choke tackle
I first one was a 50/50 call, could have gone either way. One of the things I look for in a roughing the passer is when was he hit. The nfl rule book states a QB can get hit within 3 Mississippis after throwing the ball. Watching the replay The Jets player hit dak at the end of my third Mississippi. So it really could have gone either way. The 2 roughing the passer was a bad call
Can someone legit explain to me how the calls get worse and worse as sports betting gets bigger and bigger? I haven't watched a game in 3 years because it's a joke.
It's amazing how many of these penalties are for PI. Not sure what a defender is supposed to do in this league anymore besides stand there and hope they drop the pass.
That's essentially it. NFL want high scoring games, not low scoring defensive showdowns like 15+ years ago. I remember watching a handful of games that ended 3-0. Now every game shas to have 20+ points per side.
It was all I could do to watch this video. It’s bad enough when officials bungle calls on the field, but completely inexcusable when they can’t, or refuse to get it right in the replay booth. Infuriating.
Reading these comments makes me happy. No matter what predispositions you have for or against one team, NFL fans always seem to unite against refs and their terrible calls.
I can't handle this much ineptitude all at once. My angina killin me half way through this shit and I don't root for any of the teams I saw so far. Even significantly dislike a few of the teams and still can't watch what the refs doing to them.
I've said this for years. The NFL has the least accurate play calling ever. When I mean play calling, I'm referring to game making decisions or breaking decisions for that matter are left up to "yea looks like ball should be spotted about here, sure looks good." Things like that. It's not an accurate way to judge a game
With all the bad penalties called this season, someone should make a spread sheet to count which refs and how many bad calls they make during each game. Then you can snuff out the bad apples.
the stupid thing about PI is that there should be NO contact before the ball gets there. neither side should be using their hands for any kind of leverage. any kind of usage of hands should be automatic PI/holding. it might take some ugly games before it gets cleaned up, but it needs to get cleaned up. kinda like when hockey finally got rid of hooking/holding as obstruction. it took a year of strict enforcement but it's become much more watchable now that star players are free to move with all their skills.
