If you watch enough Lions games the commentators have been questioning ref integrity for awhile, it’s just in the last couple of years for some reason the bad calls have become league wide so people are finally taking notice. Which is a good thing, we need people to start calling this shit out.
what makes it worse is that the creator has commented before saying they could make these videos way longer but they’d get taken down The NFL has become a joke
I mean, when our definition of "bad call" is any time the player, announcers, or fans make some kind of noise about it, yes. The title is "bad and controversial calls", so I get including them...and most of them ARE bad. But a few are either understandable or even the correct call....but they get included here and lumped as "bad" even if it's just someone not liking the call.
@evanmauser3338 That would be the normal response from a steelers fan that is missing half of his teeth. I saw you crying when kenny got his ribs hurt in a totally clean take down. Wah wah roughing the passer you said. Don't worry, it comes back around. Don't be surprised if one of your favorite players careers is ended abruptly week 11 =)
Some of those calls are insane. Is it my imagination or has the bad officiating become more flagrant since the NFL started promoting sports gambling? It seems to be getting worse and more imaginative.
Refs being untouchable is absolutely crazy. Players and coaches have to do press and media after games, whether you win or lose. Refs should have to explain questionable calls and be held accountable for them. Acting like players and coaches can't talk about shitty calls is wild, when so many people's jobs within these teams depends on how the team is performing. If players and staff within the NFL can be fined/suspended etc the ref's should be held to the same standard. Imagine that.
Why should they be held to the same standard? They play a completely different role in the game. Officiating is difficult. Making mistakes is inevitable, and it's just something fans need to accept. I understand that it's frustrating when they make mistakes, but you can't expect 7 guys to successfully observe 22 guys that can commit dozens of different penalties on any given play with no replay. And god forbid if they take more than 1 second to throw the flag and just process what they just saw, everyone starts crying about "late flags". I strongly recommend everyone to give it a try before crying about it. I promise you seeing it in real-time on the field is different than seeing it on your couch.
@@plap111considering these goons are getting paid to do this, they absolutely should be held accountable, and on the same aspect they should have refs watching replays for every flag/penalty and be able to communicate with the refs on the field to make better calls.
@@plap111 I understand you but these people also aren’t paid professionals, they aren’t even trained to spot these fouls real time. I think they should just be held more accountable I guarantee if you tax their pay for mistakes there will be a lot less made.
Sucks to see that Roughing the Passer is so easily thrown now. Seeing a sack should be exciting, it's a huge play. Instead it's nerve-wracking to wait and see if the yellow is gonna get thrown
I think the rule should be that if the qb has the ball, then it shouldn't be roughing the passer. When the lineman tackle, they shouldn't have to think about how to tackle. They should just do it. This rule is somewhat stupid.
That RTP call on Mac Jones is the worst one I've seen. Mac still had the ball, there was no contact to the head, and he didn't lay his body weight on him on the ground, he just rolled over him using the momentum of the tackle. Unbelievable
What is so hard about tackling a qb, I mean seriously. You just have to make hot chocolate, grab a pillow and blanket, pick the qb up and tuck him in. Anyone could do it
These roughing the passer calls are getting to the point that the NFL might as well just have the QB play like it's flag football and all the defense has to do is to pull one of the QB's flags to call the ball dead.
QBs are abusing the slide last second and getting free yards shits so stupid, I’m sure that ain’t easy to call but it’s so obvious there doing it on purpose at this point
The roughing the passer calls are completely out of control. They just continue to get worse. Soon you won’t even be able to tap the quarterback on the shoulder
I think the proper response is for all defensive players to absolutely destroy the QB. Might as well truly rough up the QB since you get flagged either way.
How bout the players have enough sense to not hit a QB too hard when he does'nt have the ball. I've seen Burrow get clubbed in the head multiple times this year without a flag. These are judgement calls.
@knightraithwall8924 I had that same thought the other day...they may get kicked out if the game abd fined...but the opposing team loses they're starting Qb!
7:16 As a Browns fan, me and all the other Browns fans I was standing with at the bar were all entirely confused by this play and we're mad FOR Cardinals fans
Roughing the Passer and Unnecessary Roughness calls are about to become the next Pass Interference back in 2018 or 2019 when it was challengeable because this is getting ridiculous week in and week out
Everyone focused on roughing the passer... Im just glad someone pointed out how many times the cowboys clearly lined up in the neutral zone and got away with it
They've been doing that all season, every single one of these videos is just full of 15 minutes of announcers criticizing the referees and saying that they disagree with the calls.
Announcers are told to be bias towards the team they are broadcasting for. Home announcers will be biased toward the home team Away announcers will be bias towards the away team. Say like a WR and the CB are both tugging each other and the ball is incomplete, no flag. One announcers will go, look at the CB, he’s pulling the WR, should have been a PI The other teams announcers will say look at the WR, he’s pulling the CB down, should be offensive PI Do u get what I’m saying, take everything what the announcers say with a grain of salt, they are usually biased ( unless of a neutral broadcast)
The washington call was literally the passer being sacked. That was as clean as it gets. What's the point of rushing the QB if you can't touch them. Refs definitely have money on these games, no doubt
And 6 minutes is cowboys vs eagles. Those refs being byast cost us the game along with us not being able to beat the eagles and the refs in Philly. So damn frustrating
It's also ridiculous to see how the really terrible calls are getting piled on the same team during the game. It's one thing if there's just all around bad call getting made against both teams, but it almost seems targeted this year.
not just this year, the bears and lions have been targeted every year for years with bs calls. the officiating is just getting worse. this year is horrible and ive only watched these, and half of 1 game this year because of the officiating, 3 games last year. football is just not enjoyable anymore.
This is a great reminder that the NFL is almost impossible to watch anymore. All of these horrific calls, and no calls, just from 1 week. The head of officiating should be foreced to watch these plays on an endless loop like the scene from Clockwork Orange.
It doesn't matter what game it is, but the league has to be rigged with an 18 minute long video of bad calls and missed calls. It's obvious to me this whole season
I’m still not understanding how Carolina number 25 got his personal foul call? The announcer said the hit involved the head and neck area. But what the replays shows is the DB hit Pittman’s shoulder with his helmet. Unless a part of his helmet hit his head or neck that I could not see. If they called a personal foul penalty wouldn’t they call it on 25 for leading with his helmet on the hit?
unless they changed the rule recently, if the receiver is deemed "defenseless" you pretty much aren't allowed to hit him anywhere, regardless of head or neck status. so basically you have to let airborne receivers land unless you're playing the ball. at least that's my understanding of the defenseless receiver rule. correct me if im wrong on that one.
@@blindamalgam7125you are not allowed to hit a defenseless receiver in the head or neck area, use your own helmet to initiate contact or launch yourself in a way your feet leave the ground.
"We can all disagree with it, but it's the rule." And therein lies the issues with monopolies. If there was a competing league players and fans could go there and the NFL would have to adjust to the fans, but as is the fans have to adjust to the NFL.
@@cmike123 I'd say it's still a monopoly in that the other leagues can't possibly compete. It'd probably cost like $50 billion to compete. It's like a local supermarket competing with Walmart.
That was literally one of the worst intentional grounding calls I've ever seen. It's very clearly a blown route... The intent was to complete a pass on a go route.
@@bobbymarr1297 your idea of compete is a little off. There are a ton of talented people that either couldnt cut it in the NFL or that no team had room for. They will have a hard time competing for recruits fresh out of college, but the XFL in particular has made rule changes that the fans find favorable. As long as they can string together exciting football and get views, they can compete. Or they can let some people shine. PJ Walker is a bust in the NFL, but that mothertrucker was a golden god in XFL.
Not being called because quite often, Kelce brings the ball off the line of scrimmage by 1/2 yard, so while they are offside by the original line of scrimmage, they may not be offside by where the ball is when the play starts.
but it was cowboys vs. the refes. jesus christ im so tired of that bullshit. edit: they missed calls on both sides both teams could have played better. in the end eagles squeaked by because the cowboys choked*
@@georgejohnson8674 The football is at the line of scrimmage. If your hands are also on the line of scrimmage as a defensive player, that is an offsides as you are crossing the line of scrimmage.
I remember Tom Brady getting caught on camera flopping when he DIDN'T get hit just to draw a flag. I remember Tom Brady getting up after a clean hit, and doing his "Flag! Flag! Flag!" pantomime and then seeing the official throwing the flag as an afterthought.
I feel bad For Kj Henry (#55 for the commanders) I graduated high school with him. 5 star recruit in high school had An amazing personality I’ve always been a fan of his
The amount of penalty calls not called on the Eagles, getting two touchdown opportunities overturned, and a 2-point conversion not counting, makes me question whether or not the game was rigged.
It would make me question it until you realize how many missed calls were on the cowboys. Multiple holds, offsides, missed hands to the face same play Bradberry committed his. Just an overall bad game. Plus the last drive, even if the calls were correct, tells me it wasn’t rigged for Philly. 56 yards of penalties and Dallas still couldn’t score.
Some of them were justified Like you can literally see Dak getting out of bounds for the 2 point conversion or the PIs made by Eagle defense or even the technicalities for that 4th and goal by the Cowboys (Vikings Week flashback) But both teams actually had so many penalties good, bad, and uncalled for (Like the Roughing the passer call) that it was a laundromat out there.
My favorite was the sliding rugby trip that the CINCY PLAYER TAYLOR-SWIFT PUT ON THE BILLS TE KINKAID and not even one flag by any of the REFS ,EVEN WHEN IT WAS REPLAYED ON CINCYS STADIUM JUMBOTRONES.
i been saying this for years, but its obvious that the NFL condones and/or in on this bs because they refuse to do anything about it and fix the problem. theyll only fix it if people stop watching, paying for tickets, and everything that starts to hit their pockets.

Rewatch the clip, the Washington player who tackled him wore long white sleeves with no arm band. Who’s wearing no sleeves with a red armband on both hands? The patriots player. He’s grabbing his own facemask and pulling it to draw a flag.
This kind of stuff is the exact reason why Arrowhead booed the refs for over half the game last season VS the Raiders. The crap RTP call Chris Jones got has not been fixed in a year. Whoever is responsible for the refs needs to train better, hire better.
Officials need to be re trained on how to officiate games!! Not just in football, but in all sports! Too many missed calls and too many bullshit calls! These calls decide the coutcomes on so many games its depressing! Whoever is training these officials don't know their ass from a hole in the ground of what they're doing!
The way NFL challenges should work is that every team gets unlimited challenges and can challenge penalties until they fail 2 total challenges then they lose their ability to challenge for the rest of the game
We finally get a hell of a Dallas and Eagles game and the refs really wanted to make it about them. That would have been a classic game in my opinion if the refs wouldn't have refed.
It's all rigged. The players are involved too. They are shifting your attention away by blaming the refs. The refs, coaches, and players are all working together to teach the pre determined outcome
I wonder if you could just have a single ref in the booth. They get a single, real-time replay of every penalty (no slow-mo) and can confirm or veto it based on that. Every play also gets a single, full frame overhead realtime replay. If a no-call is not obvious to the refs on the field and not obvious from 30 feet up, then it wasn't bad enough to call. How would you refine this idea?
The XFL had an official doing live review and frequently had the review finished within 15 seconds before the next play was close to being run. It's possible and, since we seem to be headed for constant horrible flags or no-flags that change the course of games, should be highly probably.
That cowboys eagles game was ridiculous. Refs making Phantom calls all night and avoiding throwing Flags every time there's an actual penalty. Some of those guys should be in jail after that robbery
These 5 calls were correct See at 3:30, the blue and the yellow lines are never lined up with the markers. Hes not offsides here. 3:32 that’s not DPI, he didn’t impede the WRs ability to catch the ball. 6:09 that was a hand to the chest and with in the legal 5 yard limit. 6:30 this was also clean, just a bad pass by Dak 7:14 He didn’t hit him in the head
If there ever is a week where we don't have roughing the passer that is a horrible call then hell will freeze over. I will always watch the nfl but its starting to get harder with how bad the refs are getting. So many superbowl winners didn't deserve to be there because of games that were blown
as a bills fan, this week was brutal, just major call after call going the bengals way... but i feel for hollywood brown, dude actually ran a route, not that fake into hitting the crossing db, he ran a real route, got separation and was flagged for OPI cause the defenders got crossed up, brutal.
These terrible calls are hurting the game, changing outcomes because of flat out errors. The defense is at such as disadvantage at all times because of officiating.
The one thing NFL fans can agree on is that the RTP calls have gotten worse every year. Each game has at least one that should not have been thrown, and even the commentators are calling it out
This is why I stopped watching NFL last year. It’s a joke. I much prefer baseball and hockey now. Took a bit to get used to walk away from football but the only way the NFL is going to do anything about these refs is if they start losing viewership and fans attending games. If we complain but keep watching, they’ll keep doing what they are. It’s just a business like anything else. Money talks.
Something weird is going on with the Eagles. Refs seem to be helping them out as much as possible every game. The Dolphins / Eagles game had some of the most horrendous officiating I've ever seen in a regular season game, and they definitely got some favorable calls in the Dallas game, too.
I might be in the minority on this one, but I completely agree with how intentional grounding has been being called this year. I think it's good to eliminate the judgment call of "ok but is he intending to ground it". The less judgment calls the refs have the ability to make the better IMO. Did the ball land near an eligible receiver? no? flag. clear cut, no room for errors of judgment.
right but isnt it a refs job to make sure everyone is in their correct places? like if that happens again whos gonna be the one to throw the flag?@@Iannnus
@@georgejohnson8674 It's crazy the take outta this was Cowboys were offsides and not very blatant calls the refs just didn't call or picked up, didn't even show the Schoon play when he's already being tackled before he catches the ball XD
The Bills vs. Bengals game was one of the most one-sided officiated games I've seen in a LONG time. Usually with these horribly officiated games both teams are getting generous calls but the Bills got nothing all game. I started joking on the catch we challenged that we wouldn't get it just because we hadn't gotten a call all game and to my surprise we didn't get it.
Whoever said that Allen was "intentional grounding" needs their eyes checked! How many damn times have QBs thrown the ball away regardless where the recievers are? Total bullshit call!! Allen clearly threw the ball away and he was still in the pocket! Never should have been called!
Got nothing> Bruh what? The refs penalized the Bengals on crucial 3rd downs and called like 5-6 penalties on them in a row taking points off the board. Go check the video going around on the "false start" against OBJ on the field goal...he didnt move at all. Chase was hit prior to the arrival of the deep ball and there was no PI call, the PI against CTB was BS because he was looking for the ball and the WR ran right into him. The roughing the passer call was made against the bills because you can hit the QB anywhere near the neck or head area and Burrow had no way to protect himself on the way to the ground. The intentional grounding was called against Allen because despite him saying there wasnt pressure there was a LB coming unblocked down the middle and the rules expert clearly explained that it was intentional grounding because he didnt throw it anywhere near a WR. It doesnt matter that it was an option route, he was in the pocket and threw it nowhere near an elible WR, go watch Allen play, he intentional grounds all the time to avoid sacks and its almsot never called. Bills lost point, blank, simple. Last year it was ther snow why they lost (give me a break) and this year its the officials...whats it gonna be next time?
Every elite pass rusher gets away with it. Aaron Donald got away with multiple offsides in the Super Bowl against the Bengals, including the last sack on Burrow. Not 1 flag. I was screaming at the TV the whole 4th quarter. Watts, the Bosas, Garrett, Parsons they all line up in the nuetral zone almost every play. It's pretty obvious also.
At some point, the NFL has to start allowing a booth review of penalties. When games are lost because of penalties... it LOOKS BAD. There also needs to be accountability if they are not going to allow for a booth from above confirming if a penalty occurred. It would not slow the game down that much and would make it more realistic.
Officiating this year has been deplorable, and the fact they can't be questioned or calls talked about after the game is ridiculous. Who do they think the refs are, Democrats?
Nah, they think they are tRump, unaccountable for their actions and the NFL are republicans unwilling to hold their guys accountable for their actions. FTR you are an ahole for bringing politics into sports.
let's be real, it would just go the way of the challengeable pass interference experiment we saw a few years ago. it would never get overturned and refs would just be like yea im right call stands every time. it got so bad that towards the end coaches wouldn't even challenge obviously wrong calls just because they didnt wanna waste the timeout cause they knew it would stand.
I've watched most of these videos over the last few years now and I just gotta say: this video has the highest number of calls where I actually agree with the call on the field. Obviously there are still a ton of bad calls or no calls etc ... and obviously the ones where you're just like wtf did the ref even think he/she saw? But the were several in this video that the refs got right. I like these videos but you gotta do a better job picking which plays to highlight.
It was the worst week I have ever seen! Criminally bad calls l over the place. It was so bad in Bills Bengals and with the exception of one bad call on the Bengals, it was incredibly 1 sided. Bengals got away with tripping, a face mask, and a unnecessary roughness with a very late hit on Micah Hyde! This is why people think it's rigged.
