NFL: two tripping penalties shouldn’t have been called

Such a joke these refs are.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

It reminds me of the LP "ball movement" vs the Commanders awhile back.

or the Brice Butler call in the 2016 playoffs, one which had not been made for 25 years

 

[JPM]

I wouldn’t piss on Goodell if he was on fire.

 

[Carnes]

Should be fined as much as if a player called them out about it.

And announced publicly

 

[mmohican29]

I've never seen a bigger example of a rule literally being invented on the spot.

This needs investigation.

Maybe you missed the 2016 Divisional Game vs. GB., and the 2014 Divisional Game @ GB.

 

[Jipper]

I almost don’t care anymore, not even worth getting mad about...:was any single person surprised here when the second one was called in a critical situation late in the game?

it’s going to continue to happen and there is nothing g that can be done

 

[Cydios]

Well

 

[unionjack8]

I'm honestly surprised that nobody has hacked into the NFL or referee email accounts to see if any mandates are sent or that shouldn't be if you get my meaning

Won't change the result but its rare for the NFL to make such an admission.

 

[links18]

Uh, replay the game, maybe? It will get good ratings.

 

[Avery]

Do we get some extra picks?

Thanks for the moral victory.

No ESPN links

All the bizarre calls come against Dallas.

Every time. Haven't seen the long snapper false start since that weird call last season too. Or that 2017 leverage call against DLaw on special teams.

 

[mardwin]

F the NFL.

 

[cowboyec]

I wouldn’t piss on Goodell if he was on fire.

doesn't make sense why this crew never questioned the call and talked about whether it was right or wrong. It's like the officials are trained to penalize what they saw based on a reaction, like if they miss something they use judgement to take a guess as to whether something happened just before. So they don't see the penalty, they just call it because it looked like something might've happened.
