That no call was 100% a purposeful act by the NFL to help the Rams.

It's impossible to see that play at any speed and not throw a flag unless you are purposefully trying to help one team over another team. There is no middle ground.

The integrity of the game is absolutely questionable.

Live I was pissed.

On the replay I am convinced the game was controlled by the NFL

There’s no way you can miss that call. It wasn’t even bang bang.

It was a Ref who was to scared to throw a flag even though it was the right call because he got shite for never letting the Rams win. Dude cares more about his job that making the right call

It really is hard to believe any other explanation.

Especially in a league where the refs throw flags on every little thing.

To not throw one there on something so obvious....

I hope it was incompetence but it really looks worse than that.

This HAS to be the only explanation I can think of that makes ANY logical sense. 75k people all saw that PI in live time. The NFL is rigged. Sports is rigged. There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Unfortunately yes.

If you simply listen to the reaction, maybe 1 in 10000 people didn’t see that call as an obvious pi.

The chances that TWO officials whose jive is to watch that very play and make the call didn’t see it is basically a statistically impossibility.

This is an integrity of the game issue.

As fans, this is now about the suspension of disbelief. We are watching fiction.

Of course it was.

You need the LA market and the whole west coast.


Then you need NE to win and the whole east coast.

Also in 2010, in a court case against the NFL over branded items like hats and shirts, the league presented itself not as 32 separate teams, but as one singular business “unit in the entertainment marketplace.”

Throughout that case, the NFL repeatedly positioned itself legally as a “sports entertainment” business, not a genuinely contested “sport.” College football, for example, is legally classified as a “collegiate sport.” The only other “sports entertainment” businesses are professional wrestling and roller derby.

-Great explanation. Seriously statistically impossible for it to be an incompetence issue.
NFL is dirty
