Yea not even remotely comparable.

But the NFL is a rigged product. I wish a grassroots movement would take hold to hold them accountable.

Wasn't a push off... He literally released and the defender didn't follow.

Wasn’t a push off. Minnesota push off on the saints that wasn’t called was a lot worse than that.

Yeah, that Caleb Williams play was totally choreographed as if it were Pro Wrestling. I can just see Roger Goodell having drawn it up at 345 Park Ave. The perfect way to rig the sport.

Dumbfrick.

For what it's worth, they were both grabbing at each other.

They were hand fighting, and while there was a little push off it wasn't super obvious like a defender hurtling full speed into a receiver without looking back for the ball and arriving before the ball got there, absolutely laying the receiver out.

The Bills got more of a screw job, but I can at least see the argument that the ball was possessed for an extremely short period.

There is zero argument for what happened to us and I still haven't seen anything as obvious or comparable in the entirety of nfl history (and there have been some obvious and horrible calls).

That 4th down Chicago touchdown with a few seconds left to a wide open receiver was indeed suspicious.

If it were that simple, the WNBA would have folded a long time ago.

Truth is the NFL has lost a lot of viewers over the last decade and nothing has changed. Either the league is corrupt, incompetent, or both.

If viewership was a deciding factor, the NFL would have made changes a long time ago.

Sure about that? ESPN reported that the NFL posted their 2nd highest viewership total (18.7M per game) since they started keeping track back in 1989. The highest was 19M in 1989.

It's something the down with the NFL folks love to spout but never post numbers to back anything up. If there is actually data out there on it I'd love to see it.

But yeah, we know officiating can be biased or just downright terrible. It hasn't affected the numbers though.

When I was looking it up, because the statement didn’t make sense to me, I did notice that there was a downward trend then big drop in 2015-2017 time frame that a lot of people are assuming were related to the national anthem kneeling/protests. Number drop, NFL “heard the fans” and stopped talking about it or showing them. Numbers have essentially been climbing every year except COVID season

Then you have your head in the sand because the networks post that kind of stuff weekly. Or there are media sites like Awful Announcing and others who cover that kind of stuff. Or you can just google it. To claim that numbers have never been posted is a you problem.
