Personally I’m glad the refs are visibly making big mistakes in other games. I know people are dumb but it hurts the “refs do anything for the chiefs” arguments people can make [Reply]

But no, the refs screwed me out of that. That's the real tragedy.
Kids, don't walk and stare at your phone. Especially at night. Good way to get your ass mugged. Or run over.

How is it possible the ufl/xfl could figure out how to fix obvious blown calls efficiently and the NFL with all those resources can't. You are exactly right. They SIMPLY DON'T WANT to. [Reply]

They should have shown that imbecile (the ref) the replay right then and there showing the ref looking right at the facemask, especially as Darnold almost had his head twisted off. But, oh well.....just fire the incompetent POS. [Reply]
Non-call was bad, but what's really bad and kinda concerning is the inconsistent use of New York calling in to correct certain calls. To be clear I don't think they're steering games, but it is just really uneven when it comes to deciding when they have to honor the call on the field and when they have to get it right. [Reply]

It's kind of like Pete Rose betting on himself to win, but only sometimes. [Reply]

yeah I mean like "we didn't see it" is kind of weird when your job is to see it. like okay you can't call every hold but you can't say that so you say "oh we didn't see a hold", but a QB getting facemasked and you call it a safety? you obviously saw him go down but you didn't see how he went down, that doesn't really make sense to me [Reply]
