!!!!

Female ref is signaling Redskins ball while looking at the ball-less pile I'd be pissed if I was a fantasy owner that lost because of this.

The entire ref crew on the field and in the booth failed as did the Browns staff for not raising holy hell when the Skins were awarded the ball. The announcers sucked for missing it as well.

OU Oregon onside kick



That was my first thought too. It didn't go 10 yards, Oregon touched it first, Oklahoma recovered it, and they gave the ball to Oregon anyways.

It is almost to SEC level it is so bad.

I watched another game yesterday that was obviously rigged. Don't remember the teams (doing ten things at once) but one team got a big lead early, then the refs stepped in and single handedly brought the other team back with brutal bad call after bad call. The announcers were dumb founded. Allowed the team behind to get away with multiple false starts, PIs, holding, etc until they got back in it and eventually won it.

Entertaining game, though. LOL

After watching this and the Saints' 4 games this year and many other bad calls there's no doubt that NFL officiating is rigged. And I'm the antithesis of a conspiracy theorist.

But when a fan bitches about losing to a bad call everyone jumps on them as a sore loser. I don't think they are fixing games per se, but I wouldn't be surprised if one day it comes out that officials are asked to keep the games close and entertaining if possible. Close games create better ratings and maintain their audience all game long, which makes the NFL more money. I just have always been amazed at how close all these games tend to be, it wasn't always like that.

You see this right here is why I'm completely uninterested in the NFL this year outside of the Saints.

Only 6 out of 32 teams this year have an avg scoring margin greater than a TD this year. On the other side, 9 of 32 teams have a scoring margin of a FG or less. That's an awful lot of close games. And its not just that there are questionable calls, its the fact that there seem to have been so many game changing questionable calls.

Close games are fine when two teams are duking it out. But close games are not fine when drives are extended due to penalties, bad calls, etc.

All you have to do is look at the officiating of the Green Bay - Jacksonville game in week 1. Insane.

The ref who is looking at the pile and signaling redskins ball should be fired. Rule number 1 is to call only what you see - he could not have seen the ball in the pile because it wasn't there.

You will be called a Tin foil hat guy.

Yet the NFL on the reg can't look at the replay and just get it right.

Fact: men are born with better eyesight than women and women were born with a sense of smell better than men.

Deduction: If it is possible for that woman ref to have been born with the same exact eyesight as a male ref, then it is possible for someone to be born attracted to the same sex.

If she doesn't have as good an eyesight as a male then why is she a ref?

Eh. I watched it knowing what to look for and I still missed Duke standing with the ball the 1st time.

I can easily see how the announcers would miss that as well as they're looking at the pile, not 10 feet over.

I guess the question is, did they never see it? Now that would be bad if they didn't see the replay and mention it.

But first time at live speed, can't blame the refs. Hell, I don't blame the ref for not seeing Duke with the ball either, but that's as far as I'll go considering she came in signaling Redskins ball.
