Yeah, the fix was in, terrible

[SamsNCharge99]

Pissed!!!!

[Eddy Munny]

I had the Bucs +2.5 but didn't see the game... What happened?

[TheMoneyShot]

Make sure you're on the opposite side of the money flow.

[shocka1212]

pretty painful to watch.

I had the Bucs +2.5 but didn't see the game... What happened?

Late in game, Titans fake fg attempt, holder got drilled trying to make the corner. Fumbled, picked up and returned by Bucs for TD. Play was whistled dead (even though they've been told 1,000,000 times to let it play out in the case of possible turnover). No review. Winston. Enough said.

Did Stallone have money on the game?

best part was it's a bang, bang play. the ball of coming out before he even hit the ground

In a case this egregious, I wish the refs could just announce the whistle was blown by mistake, credit the TD, and move on. There's no world where he doesn't run that back for a TD. Why is the whistle itself the one true God? Is common sense not an option?

But really just disgusting any way you slice it. Determine if the guy was down (he wasn't) if and when there's a fking challenge. Completely inexcusable whistle

NFL thought there was bitching about officiating before, it's going to increase 100 times over as gambling is legalized in more states. And they're too stupid to get out of their own way (the league, not the refs).

[funnyb25]

Still don't understand why it was blown dead. The play was in progress. Lol

The blame is 1000% on the league. They micro-manage every fukn' little thing, mandating the refs call something if they "think" it's a foul, nevermind whether they actually saw a foul. Every thing they do is scrutinized by the league to the point they're afraid of reprimands/demotions/firings if they don't call a totally inconsequential (i.e. bullshit) penalty. Cameras show it time and again, fukn' ref 5 yds away from play and flag comes flying in from 40 yds away. The rules are repetitive, the rule book has become a 10 volume legal encyclopedia. Every flag is a 5 minute group discussion. This is what you get when a bunch of fukn' lawyers run the game.

[lakerboy]

This game denied me a grand

[leetreaper]

Why no review or a challenge? Did not watch the game...

[pavyracer]

The referees control everything. They decide who wins. This is how Vegas wants it.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Did Winston have a shot to win the game?

[Hman]

Did Winston have a shot to win the game?

Not with his 4 turnovers lol

[kidcudi92]

yikes

[The Kraken]

Unreal how bad these officials are

[kidcudi92]

oh the post got edited nvm

[Hman]

oh the post got edited nvm

Too lenient you mean?

[shocka1212]

This game denied me a grand

won me 500 by saving my teased under... rig job clearly. Bucs would've hung 37 today if it weren't for these zebras.

[kidcudi92]

Too lenient you mean?

Have I done something wrong Officer? You have my location etc so I doubt I need to provide my license and registration

[shocka1212]

Lol so bad man...

[stackz125]

Everytime a dumb referee makes a zebra call(dumb call) the entire crew or that referee deserves to pay a fine. Thats the only way they stick the whistles up their ass

[TheMoneyShot]

With all the challenges.... all scoring plays reviewed.... anything under 2:00 at half and 4th qtr reviewed....

How in the fukk are we still having problems? When to blow a play dead? And when not to???

I didn't watch the game at all... but just saying. There's already too much reviewing. It's really dumb.

I remember years ago.... there was no reviewing plays... no challenges... if a ref fukked up you lived with it. It all evens out over time. Kind of tired of all the delays just to go to commercial.

Again... how in the fukk are we still having problems??? This is laughable.

[Hman]

Have I done something wrong Officer?

You will

[kidcudi92]

You will

What does that mean Officer?

[seaborneq]

If you are not absolutely positively sure that it is a fumble, let the play continue. It can always be reversed, but not given back after being called dead. Absolute common sense. It's not like we printing newspapers with Dewey wins the presidency before all the votes are counting. It's a freaking football game, quit blowing the play dead before it's actually dead. By the way, does just one ref blow the whistle or can any of the crew blow the whistle?? Because it always seem like it's just one guy/gal who does this while the other 7 know to let things play out, although it doesn't take but ONE whistle to stop the play. When it's a goal line play or a stop of ball carrier momentum it sounds like everybody is blowing a whistle, yet in a crucial play like this you can barely hear a whistle being blown.

[The Kraken]

Too lenient you mean?

Exactly what I meant, but I hardly post enough anymore to start a fight that I know I’ll forget about by tomorrow

Hence the edit
