There is so many throughout the league. 1. What call bother you the most. 2. What call had the biggest impact. 3. What team benefited the most from these calls. Franco Harris immaculate reception. Only the fans in the stands. Realize it was a bounce off the ground. Tom Brady the tuck rule. I don’t know how they don’t call that a fumble. Butch Johnson. The catch that helped us the most.

Whirlwin---for me it was the total "injustice" against the Saints few years ago playing the rams....forget name of players but receiver was barrelled into long before ball got there obvious DPI and it was not called and cost Saints the game

The Saints totally got screwed. That’s why they made the rule change

also they do have one camera angle and it really appears Franco Harris caught it low and did not hit ground...but early 70's many less cameras and much worse technical ability

The NFL wanted LA in the Superbowl. I have no question in my mind about that. No other explanation to miss such a blatant call on national television.

I don’t buy into the propaganda. But you think something in the universe isn’t right. Tuck rule. They definitely one of the patriots because we were in conflict throughout the world. I remember they weren’t gonna play that Super Bowl

The ball hit the ground my cowboy brother. But that’s why it’s controversial

And that wasn’t even a controversial play . It was all right should’ve been three flags

Thus far, it's the no PI call in Tampa. The no TD call in NE. What a terrible sequence for the Cowboys. They got robbed of a TD on third down (in NE), then they lost a fumble on fourth down.

Don't EVEN get me started with these senile refs! I hope this doesn't happen when it really counts. Such as a playoff game.

That’s my answer to question number three what team benefited the most from these plays . New England

one thing for sure....we have much better cameras now and many more of them recording game...we did not have technology back then to really do justice for instant replay....i believe they should bring back

instant replay for bad officiating like they did for one year.....i guarantee if they had technology when game invented they would have used it.....we just want to know what the truth is

It’s all part of the game . We didn’t used to have such a big problem with it until Instant Replay which has ruined the game because it allows fans to second guess everything as well as make officials less committed to making the right call.

Whirlwin ---it made me so sick to my stomach because there were 3 officials that could have thrown flag that were right there ....then replay...it made me never trust NFL again to be honest

I’m old-school football and I totally agree with the statement. But these new fans. They want everything perfect. Entitlement. Lol sarcasm

This need to be absolutely certain the ball crossed the goal like for example is totally ridiculous. Many other calls don’t need to be absolute.

Part time referees. There’s no accountability. The league doesn’t want to pay health benefits. For full-time referees. Maybe the next players meeting. Because this is getting out of control. Even worse like someone just said within chip instant replay

Football isn’t meant to be an absolute occurrence. There could be a penalty called on every play,

We don’t really want perfection.
