2022 NFL Thread

Perfectly fine take, as  long as it's solely "poor officiating" and not bad officiating "considering the circumstances" or some shit.

Yes.  I am pulling for KC - have a small bet with a coworker.  

I just don’t think that was holding under any circumstances.

One of my favorite things in sports is when one of the preseason favorites, after winning the title, discusses the disrespect they somehow overcame

[OrangeAfroMan]

The best of all-time doing that was Joakim Noah, lol.  2007 Gators basketball.  #1 overall seed in the tourney.  First words out of his mouth after the NC  "Nobody thought we could do it..."

Pffft.

I'd like to think having such a dumbass ending to a great game would have the NFL rethinking how they ref games, but they will probably go to having triple secret replay instead.

Yep.  Just a repeat of last season’s ending. 

An officiating call, that is not a clear penalty, basically tipping the final scale to one team.

As an Eagles fan I am irate. I don’t even think we would have scored on the last drive, but to call only one snap tight the entire game when it’s that late in the game is frustrating as fuck.

I hope that was staged because more than likely that asshole has probably popped someone

That was a penalty on the first series of the game, and it's a penalty on the last series. 

I would also like to think that the NFL and the Cardinals would figure out how to put a field in that stadium that wouldnt make Candlestick Park and Soldier Field in December shining examples of turf management.

There lies the problem.   All holding calls and non-calls are a question of opinion and degree.
That was not a penalty in the first series or any series leading up to that point but suddenly it was a penalty when it tipped the game over the top and virtually ended it.

Everyone is aware the player who drew the flag even said it was a penalty, correct?

This 100%.
I can't find it now but I saw a youtube video of showing pics of 32 other Jersey tugs that didn't get called last night. But this last game ending one does.
KC - 69 plays
Philly - 66 plays
Jersy pull pics - 32
"Infraction" doesn't get called on 25% of the plays, and only gets called once all night.

What's he supposed to say? Disagree and get fined?

"I was hoping he would let it go, but of course he's a ref, it was a big game," Bradberry said after the Eagles' 38-35 loss. "It was a hold, so they called it."

You don't have to disagree, but I can't recall a player that blatantly agreeing with the call
