I hate how they are teaching the punching procedure. Most of the time defenders just end up punching the ball carrier in the arm or chest...... or face. lol
If you couldn't see that someone was a FOOT OR MORE from being out of bounds WHEN ITS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOURE FACE, you should be FIRED! that call was absolutely insane.
Brother I was at that Browns game and I could tell from my seat that he was inbounds, there was another bs call right after that one and the whole stadium was chanting BS just like the Colts Ravens game
Now if a player touches another player while he’s out of bounds they could possibly mark him down idk 😂 kinda like when the ball is kicked off and stops near a sideline and the player steps out of bounds then touches the ball resulting in a illegal kick out of bounds like i said tho idk if that type of rule applies on the first play
Anyone else notice that after sports betting became legal, calls by the officials are getting worse every year? I garuntee you the referees are betting on games they're officiating.
The problem with that theory is bad calls have always been made... but with the rise of TH-cam and social media you see them all. Plus sports betting works by having a number set that means the house win regardless of result... they try at set the odds and number to insure this. So the house doesn't make loads of money over each game, they make money over time... the law of large numbers.
Yes they are and, if you don’t think the NFL commission and there refs are not involved with covering spreads to save Vegas a$$ you are just naive and ignorant. I love football with a passion and, I haven’t watched the NFL since year before last. It’s so blatantly obvious, there’s just to many gamblers out there to involved in betting and,don’t want to believe there bets fates are sealed the minute they lay there money down.
The Ravens have been getting away with bad calls throughout their entire existence. They're just getting a small taste of how it feels on the other side.
They are trying to ensure certain outcomes, so they make bad calls that are too obvious sometimes because the game is not progressing like it's supposed to Nobody claims the games are "scripted" like the NFL wants you to believe (So they can control that narrative) We claim they are RIGGED
The games are scripted and rigged. Like WWE. All the gambling legal and illegal. I don’t think half the mistakes are mistakes. I think they make some calls to influence the game they just do a good job of hiding it
For the 1st 2 games, Dallas had a handle on penalties. Game 3 against a winless team and Dallas was -12.5 points at one point, penalty issues were off the hook. Pro sports are as legitimate as our elections and Justice system.
There's really a misunderstanding of physics in that rule. The head is going to follow the body. With the speed they are going at it's nigh impossible to avoid some of that contact.

Refs in Chargers/Vikings game: Blow the play dead after running back is pushed back for less than a second, negating the fumble Refs in Pats/Bengals game last year: Never blow the play dead despite Stevenson getting pushed back for 3 seconds and then fumbling Refs in Pats/Dolphins game after that: Blow the play dead while the Miami running back is still midair and moving forward, negating a fumble The inconsistency would be hilarious if it wasn't so f**king pathetic.
Honestly, it feels like the players on offense are almost never flagged for causing helmet-helmet contact or leading with the crown. Are the rules about safety or about ratings and higher scoring games?
The NFL is a joke. These officials are calling games exactly as they are instructed to by the league. You know, the league that has an official betting company. No possible conflict of interest there
@@austincooper4508 it was blown dead, i dont think they csn challenge. But no matter what, it was called dead so even if overruled ball is placed where it was blown dead if that makes sense
@@spdcrzy true, I mostly watch college because it’s just a more fun narrative for me. The rule differences are the best part tbh, especially OT (before they fucked it up 2 years ago). NFL refs are still high school tier tho
Just watch every KC chiefs game…it’s pathetic…NFL is a garbage organization…chiefs hold, interfere, and on offence…picks, push offs…etc…and any play that goes to the booth it’s ridiculous….
The patriots used to get the most favored calls, God-All has ruined the game. No more kickoff returns, defense can’t play real defense anymore, female refs who never played the game, it’s such a soft league anymore.
problem is alot of people stopped. you cant keep playing after the call. so whats the call, "we think he would have gotten 15 more yards"? you want to put that power in the refs hands?
I get why he was down, the saints defender had driven him back more that 10 yards and if you listen very closely, u can hear a faint whistle. A whistle immediately marks the ball dead wherever it is. So that’s why he was marked down.
I was at that browns vs titans game last Sunday and after that horrible out of bounds call, the whole stadium was chanting “BULL-SHIT, BULL-SHIT” Coop had a TD on that play. Luckily they still dominated the rest of the game
yah but the point spreads or bets per play or keeping games close are also all factors in this crappy run ,reffing nightmare of a game .now my opinion.
Bruh the Bronco call is clearly a good call for offensive pass interference. He obviously ran into him to set a pick for the corner route. The defender doesn't even move before he cuts into him. Not like it matters, they got the biggest beat down in 6 decades.
I keep saying they need to remove "roughing the passer" as a penalty. You already have "unnecessary roughness" in the book. You don't need a special rule just for quarterbacks.
The refs were really trying to get Vegas back in that game. Roughing the passer my ass. We hit harder than that playing streetball with our buddies! Then the DPI on an uncatchable ball, and then a "leverage" call, I ain't never heard that penalty called before!
Leverage has been a call for a while now. You can't use another player to lift yourself up or aid in jumping while blocking a kick or making a play. It's a rare call, yes, but it has been a rule for a while.
@@kevinstull8552 Thats ridiculous. No one would _ever_ be ejected for punching the ball out attempts. And just about any other QB would have gotten that call.
A way to punish the NFL for bad calls is to have fans yell curses during the game. The FCC fines the network when any swearing is done. Its is part of the code of conduct that they sign to allow broadcasting their games on tv.
These are some of reasons why I can't even watch this sport anymore, what makes anyone think that now that it is legal to gamble on games that some of these people wouldn't make certain calls because they need a certain team to win so they can make their money. People don't want to think that they would do that but there are people that would do a lot worse for less money, it does happen.
shoulder lead means nothing you can shoulder a guy's head at full force as long as they are a runner. The only restriction is leading with a helmet since they aren't a passer.
Agreed. There's no rule about the DB having to turn his head back to the QB/ball. Ball got there at contact and hit the DB in the back of the head. No call is the right call.
No, there's not a rule about having to find the ball. ...but there is a rule that you can't impede the receiver prior to the arrival of the ball. The defender is not allowed to significantly hinder the receiver's ability to catch the ball. Smashing your whole body helmet first into the chest prior to the ball arriving. It's not good defense. It's shitty defense. It's making up for being burned by the receiver. He got torched. A bad throw does not turn bad defense into good defense, it makes the defender lucky.
@@nw4042 I agree with everything you said. For example, I agree that "smashing your whole body helmet first into the chest prior to the ball arriving" would be a penalty. I just don't believe those things you described happened in this play.
@@nw4042 I see it simultaneous. As I originally stated, " Ball got there at contact and hit the DB in the back of the head." You see the defender getting there before the ball? Remind me to never let you umpire a baseball game.
that branch call was such BS. we gotta start fining officials for bad calls. just like in baseball. they need to be held accountable once you start taking money out their pockets maybe they will start keeping their flags in their pockets.
Anyone who doesn’t think the NFL wants these incompetent officials on the field to make these hideous calls to manipulate the outcome of the game is just wilfully ignoring the situation.
That call on the steelers is the reason the NFL is losing fans, they are literally killing football w all these stupid calls, it just hard to watch anymore
The fact that 10 to 15 minute videos of these can be made EVERY week is absolutely absurd. There needs to be better officiating, it’s ruining so many games
I don’t necessarily think it’s rigged. I think the NFL is going with the NBA’s approach of having refs control the game. And ppl who cheer for dysfunctional franchises think things are rigged or scripted like the WWE but bad reffing is nothing new to the NFL or College Football. People act like this happened yesterday
@@crokar5835I’ve accepted it’s more like reality tv, you have the good, the bad, the ugly, and big happy ending, all extremely over dramatized, and god damn it, it’s the only way I’ll watch reality tv
@@xmikejohnson914xthe fact that bad reffing is part of the legacy of the NFL like it's a nothingburger is what's sad. Year after year these calls affect how an entire season goes. Every time they fix one aspect of it, the refs find a different way to screw up calls. Even when they implemented instant replay, outcomes are still headscratchers. If a player tackles wrong during an insignificant play, he has a fine waiting for him the next week. Meanwhile, refs can apologize 2 yrs later for making a call that bounces a team out of the playoffs and it's water under the bridge. It makes most people wonder why so much incompetence is rewarded if not for the desired outcome of the game. Plus Vegas has both arms elbow deep in sports betting & Vegas wasn't built to lose money. So, I can see why people believe it's rigged/fixed/scripted.
12:12 for those wondering why this isn't a false start: it's not a false start because his back foot doesn't hit the ground before the ball is snapped. It's a loophole yes but one o line players have been exploiting constantly.
How the fuck do people think that Cowboys Cardinals play is a flag? All that bullshit about the defender not looking at the ball, but the contact is right as the ball arrives.
5:51 I personally think its a great call, you cant set a screen or pick on either team I.E using your body to block it was drawn up by the OC for sure on the broncos because 80% of the time they wont call it but it is a good call, and a very well designed play call that involves that pick but it is technically illegal
@@doomsday_72the db ran into him on accident trying to keep up with his coverage you can't fault a db for that when it was very clearly set up to be a screen. That's why it looked like an NBA pass😂😂
These BS calls for unnecessary roughness are the reason why I don’t even care to watch football anymore. Anytime there is a hit that makes you want to see a replay, there is no doubt that a flag will be thrown. It has ruined the game. As well as many PI calls for BS then grievous PI goes uncalled.
The Chubb hit was dirty as he'll ! Worst of all Tomlin condones it ! Dirty hits have been a part of Steeler' s culture since he became the head coach !
Given how slow paced the game is to begin with, and how there are 900 million camera angles all reviewable in real time, there is no reason why every single play shouldn't be reviewable.
The NFL is legally listed as a "Sports Entertainment" business!!! Yes people are betting on games with selected outcomes... are they the same people who bet on WWE matches?? Who knows...
As a former official, I kinda enjoy reacting to these videos. So .... 1) Ow. Ugly. Ow. Woah. 2) Where the heck was the back official? 3) That's awful. Would love to see where the back official was? 4) In real-time, this is defensible. 5) Correct call. 6) I don't think this was intentional (mighta been trying to punch the ball) but it doesn't matter. Blow to the head, penalize accordingly. 7) Adjust to the new rules, folks. This is a good call. 8) I think the pick-up of the flag is the right decision. This is not a penalty. 9) Correct call. There are significant differences between this and the previous play. 10) They picked that up? Clear DPI. 11) Not seeing enough for a flag. 12) Yep, there was grab. Ball was uncatchable, the alleged infraction didn't affect the outcome. Good non-call. 13) Nothing there. 14) Clear DPI. Blown call. 15) Clear DPI. Blown call. 16) I'm assuming blown dead for termination of forward progress. If so, defensible. 17) The key for me is that one of the officials threw the beanbag. That's a sign the official ruled a fumble - what other official ruled end of forward progress? That's defensible but ... but .... didn''t hear a whistle. It's dicey either way. 18) Blown call. UR and IP on same play. 19) Blown call. 20) Entire crew lost control of this sequence.
I still laugh every time I see that clip at 3:50. Willie Gay tried to punch the ball out but just punched Justin Fields in the face instead.

and then we get a 10 hour games. lol think before you write.
But they would be accurate games.@@zerodawn09
I love how a penalty for head to head contact is celebrated by the receiving team with head to head contact
Just finished watching this, that’s one of the reasons I watch very little football, more just highlights , just can’t do it anymore.
Amri Cooper was not out that Ref is High on Pot if he gonna call an Out of Bounds play
Nfl is rigged nd scripted buddy… it’s deeper than the refs.
The fact that the ref was in front of him too 🙄
"That was good defense, other than, you know, the obvious pass interference." Apparently the side judge for that play was I. C. Nothing.
It looks like the refs are slowly changing some of the rules. Apparently you can now interfere with the receiver while NOT looking at the ball.
You can also shove a player to the ground after the play is over.
I hate the cowboys and that call pissed me off.
That first call was like my high school refs💀
Anyone who doesn’t think the NFL wants these incompetent officials on the field to make these hideous calls to manipulate the outcome of the game is just wilfully ignoring the situation.
2:19 “That’s the loudest manure chant I’ve ever heard”
That call on the steelers is the reason the NFL is losing fans, they are literally killing football w all these stupid calls, it just hard to watch anymore
The fact that 10 to 15 minute videos of these can be made EVERY week is absolutely absurd. There needs to be better officiating, it’s ruining so many games
Flag football in the future 😢
There were a lot more blatant bad calls than just those. This officiating is out of control!
The NFL is rigged
The referees are really earning their paychecks...NOT ! GET RID OF THE UNIONS, that’s the only freaking way to stop this crap..
The fact people can watch reffing like this and not think the NFL is rigged still astonishes me.
I don’t necessarily think it’s rigged. I think the NFL is going with the NBA’s approach of having refs control the game. And ppl who cheer for dysfunctional franchises think things are rigged or scripted like the WWE but bad reffing is nothing new to the NFL or College Football. People act like this happened yesterday
More like its shocking they allow these people to keep officiating
@@crokar5835I’ve accepted it’s more like reality tv, you have the good, the bad, the ugly, and big happy ending, all extremely over dramatized, and god damn it, it’s the only way I’ll watch reality tv
@@xmikejohnson914x
The NBA huh?
You do remember that NBA refs were caught fixing games, right? 🤣
@@xmikejohnson914xthe fact that bad reffing is part of the legacy of the NFL like it's a nothingburger is what's sad. Year after year these calls affect how an entire season goes. Every time they fix one aspect of it, the refs find a different way to screw up calls. Even when they implemented instant replay, outcomes are still headscratchers. If a player tackles wrong during an insignificant play, he has a fine waiting for him the next week. Meanwhile, refs can apologize 2 yrs later for making a call that bounces a team out of the playoffs and it's water under the bridge. It makes most people wonder why so much incompetence is rewarded if not for the desired outcome of the game. Plus Vegas has both arms elbow deep in sports betting & Vegas wasn't built to lose money. So, I can see why people believe it's rigged/fixed/scripted.
12:12 for those wondering why this isn't a false start: it's not a false start because his back foot doesn't hit the ground before the ball is snapped. It's a loophole yes but one o line players have been exploiting constantly.
How the fuck do people think that Cowboys Cardinals play is a flag? All that bullshit about the defender not looking at the ball, but the contact is right as the ball arrives.
5:51 I personally think its a great call, you cant set a screen or pick on either team I.E using your body to block it was drawn up by the OC for sure on the broncos because 80% of the time they wont call it but it is a good call, and a very well designed play call that involves that pick but it is technically illegal
Db initiated contact it’s not on the receiver imo
@@doomsday_72the db ran into him on accident trying to keep up with his coverage you can't fault a db for that when it was very clearly set up to be a screen. That's why it looked like an NBA pass😂😂
These BS calls for unnecessary roughness are the reason why I don’t even care to watch football anymore. Anytime there is a hit that makes you want to see a replay, there is no doubt that a flag will be thrown. It has ruined the game. As well as many PI calls for BS then grievous PI goes uncalled.
Love your video and keep up the great work
Not even a Browns fan and that out of bounds call was absolutely ridiculous! The guy was a good 1/2 yard IN BOUNDS!
Someone needs to make a TH-cam channel called "NFL bad calls versus the spread"
How is it controversial to call holding in the Super Bowl when the pass is overthrown but it’s controversial not to call holding for the same thing?
I'm glad the announcers called out the first one. He was in by a mile!
Anyone indignant at this may be forgetting that there are always three teams on the field.
Fitzpatrick gets called for that but not the jit on Chubb 🙄
The Chubb hit was dirty as he'll ! Worst of all Tomlin condones it ! Dirty hits have been a part of Steeler' s culture since he became the head coach !
Take the pads and helmets away just give them flags at this point it’s pathetic.
Given how slow paced the game is to begin with, and how there are 900 million camera angles all reviewable in real time, there is no reason why every single play shouldn't be reviewable.
The NFL is legally listed as a "Sports Entertainment" business!!!
Yes people are betting on games with selected outcomes... are they the same people who bet on WWE matches?? Who knows...
In all fairness, whenever its the Ravens getting screwed I'm all for it 🤣
Exact reason why i watch No Sports anymore.
Sports betting is ruining football
As a former official, I kinda enjoy reacting to these videos. So ....
1) Ow. Ugly. Ow. Woah.
2) Where the heck was the back official?
3) That's awful. Would love to see where the back official was?
4) In real-time, this is defensible.
5) Correct call.
6) I don't think this was intentional (mighta been trying to punch the ball) but it doesn't matter. Blow to the head, penalize accordingly.
7) Adjust to the new rules, folks. This is a good call.
8) I think the pick-up of the flag is the right decision. This is not a penalty.
9) Correct call. There are significant differences between this and the previous play.
10) They picked that up? Clear DPI.
11) Not seeing enough for a flag.
12) Yep, there was grab. Ball was uncatchable, the alleged infraction didn't affect the outcome. Good non-call.
13) Nothing there.
14) Clear DPI. Blown call.
15) Clear DPI. Blown call.
16) I'm assuming blown dead for termination of forward progress. If so, defensible.
17) The key for me is that one of the officials threw the beanbag. That's a sign the official ruled a fumble - what other official ruled end of forward progress? That's defensible but ... but .... didn''t hear a whistle. It's dicey either way.
18) Blown call. UR and IP on same play.
19) Blown call.
20) Entire crew lost control of this sequence.
That first out of bounds call was worse than Jim Joyce stealing Galarraga's perfect game...
Remember when football was football?
It's why I watch old games.
The sad part is that everyone thinks the refs are making bad calls.. THE NFL IS RIGGED!!
calls like these happen strictly because vegas is about to lose their ass off.
Keep up the series
Remember. Like professional wrestling, the NFL / MLB, etc. is about entertainment, not legitimacy or fairness.
That Amari Cooper call cost me fantasy that week
As a Steelers fan the hit they called roughing against the Raiders would be called any game. Helmet to helmet against a QB is usually a penalty
As a Raiders fan, that was a bad call. He got more shoulder than helmet. It was a clean hit
@irishsage2459 in a Ravens fan and I agree with you. That call was BS.
@@irishsage2459 bro are you blind it was obvious helmet to helmet, called 90% of the time against the QB
If they continue to put incompetent, part-time officials on the field, they better stop running gambling commercials during the games.
