The NFL Has a Referee Problem… (Again)

- The narrative that the NFL is rigged is continuing to grow week by week due to the poor display of officiating by the referees. In this video, I break down the worst calls/no-calls from weeks 1-7 this season and pose the question, what can the league to do solve this issue?

The NFL will only do something when it costs them money
Of course it's a business, until they lose significant revenue there will be no change
No they will just get more replacement refs
@@kaplezedrummer24ifyThey done that before and it was even worse
@@ABigBowlOfChips was freaking horrible
Then stop watching
That holding call 5 seconds after the interception is pure rigging.
The ref even double-cocked to make sure the Jets defender had the ball before he threw the flag.
It was clearly a hold though. The ref had already pulled the flag out before the interception and was preparing to throw it. The only reason people talked about that call so much is because of the colossal tantrum that Saleh threw over it. If it's rigged then why were they absolutely hosing the Chiefs up until that point? Don't attribute to malice what you can just as easily attribute to incompetence. The refs just suck across the board and every team suffers from it sometimes and gains from it other times.
The pipeline goes: my team loses a close game ~ the refs make one or more bad calls ~ I get angry ~ i blame refs ~ i begin to believe the refs do it on purpose ~ I think the players are in on it ~ I now believe the whole league is rigged ~ magnets in the goal posts!
Give me a break. The league isnt rigged. Get over it and get over yourselves.
@@L_TrainLol trust me no Chiefs fan is going through your stupid pipeline. They all know Mahomes gets all the calls
I thought the same thing
Ever since gambling became popular, more and more of this game-fixing has occurred. I am a die-hard Eagles fan and even I objected to some of the calls against Miami in their game. I believe it will get worse.
You mean online gambling? Gambling has been around for 1,000’s of years, but as more states allow online gambling, yes, it has gotten worse.
@@mulderscully2054 Sports betting has become legal in many states and this is a huge portion of money in the sport.
Whenever there is gambling involved, corruption soon follows. Why is everyone acting so surprised?
I'll say this over and over again: the NFL considers itself sports entertainment, the same thing as your favorite wrestling promotions. Make of that what you will.
That's exactly why the NFL has become unwatchable. I miss the days when NFL players were real men, not WWE sports entertainment clowns that love to show off after every sack, tackle, interception, or touchdown.
Yep, it's an entertainment league and they determine the outcome as "they see fit."
The bad calls are a part of the scripted games. They are done on purpose to either infuriate or elate emotions. NFL=WWE @@theinvisibleman2194
For decades I lived and breathed the NFL. I watched every game on Sunday, and would even stay up to watch the whole Monday Night game. Then COVID hit, and I started noticing strange things going on, and when I added it all up, I came to the conclusion that the NFL is no different than wrestling. During COVID not many people traveled, and ironically the team that won the Super Bowl those years won at home, in front of there fans. No need to travel. How convenient. Although, 99% of fans of the NFL think it was just a coincidence. Come on, it happened back to back during a time when people were not flying due to COVID.
@@stephendacey8761 Exactly, before covid, no team had ever played in and hosted a SB the same year because the league wanted the additional revenue of two visiting teams for the host city!
It’s rigged because of sports betting (the nfl is working with Vegas)
This is the correct answer.
You sir are right on! Anywhere there is money involved, there is corruption....
Yessir, been saying this for years. To think there will be no corruption when billions of dollars are on the line every week is crazy.
TV ratings. The whole Taylor Swift thing opened my eyes to that. Massive ratings boost for the NFL if the Chiefs go to the Super Bowl, with Swift in the picture. You really think the NFL would allow the Chiefs to lose and let Swift and all of her fans to walk away? Absolutely not.
I’d like to see a televised post-game interview of sports writers with the referees to explain their decisions or lack of decisions/calls. They, too, need to be held accountable. Maybe there should be more ref’s on the field to catch missed calls or to better decide by committee what penalty to call or not call.
A This is an excellent idea!
What do you expect them to say? "yeah, well the league told me to blow the whistle and make sure team X wins this game"
Never gunna happen if everyone is getting their palms greased.
There should be a review on refs that make too many bad calls. If they are proven to have made too many bad calls then they should be fired! In any other business if you do a terrible job then you’re going to be fired! Why should the NFL be any different?
This aged well. Definitely looked like it in tonight's game
Refs tried to screw Cowboys and still lost, blatant tripping by Lions Hutchinson was called on Cowboys instead. Woukd have been 1st n goat on 7 yd line
The betting industry is in control. It would be interesting to see the bad calls overlayed on scores and spreads.
I suspect so also.
It's the live betting now.
It's not just football. I'm ALWAYS amazed of what I call the "NBA defense''. One team can have a 50 point lead at halftime and just completely lose all assemblence of the game and end up losing by 6. Just enough to cover the spread at times and make Vegas happy.
@@ronallen6578yup all the free tjrows for that to happen too
Great point!
Considering that the NFL is an entertainment organization, they can technically write a season long storyline and implement it as they see fit. Think WWE but football.
Exactly! Finally someone gets it!
Not with sportsbook betting the way it is. They'd have to shut that down immediately if they truly scripted it like that, and everyone knows that the NFL has no interest in doing that.
And part of the entertainment is watching quarterbacks overact when they barely get touched, like punters. 😄
Also with a lot of betting. I saw like 3 or 4 sports betting apps advertised this past Sunday during commercial breaks.
The NFL did argue in court that it is only an entertainment, said it's on the back of every ticket. At least wrestling doesn't hide what it is. The NFL portrays itself as a legit sport.
Was I the only one watching the XFL this past spring? Every single play got video review immediately using a zillion angles without affecting the pace of play. Everything was reviewable, and challenges were rare because the booth had already fixed any mistakes before coaches had a chance to throw their red flags. When my Battlehawks missed the playoffs, I had no doubt that it was because Seattle had played a little better than STL (and DC had played a lot better). It was honestly so refreshing to watch, and other pro leagues should implement a similar system ASAP.
The worst part is that the NFL already has the systems and technology in place to do this. The players wear multiple RFID chips, the ball is tracked, NFL officials have access to 50 different angles instantly. They could review every single play and it wouldn’t slow shit down. They have all of this information yet the sit back and allow the refs to “be human and make mistakes”, even though they see what we all see at home (and more). Hard to even consider they are not complicit in the shit officiating, which makes it hard to believe there is no motivation or reason behind all the bad/no calls.
Those XFL players were making the same fundamental mistakes, just like the nfl.
I didn't think that games were 'rigged' until that dallas detroit nfl game on Saturday night. Now looking back - what games weren't 'rigged'. It might be good for the NFL to go all cable - then we can't watch.
2 suggestions:
1) Hold your officials accountable. If they never get punished for doing a shit job then they'll continue it since they know that there are no consequences
2) Make your officials FULL TIME WORKERS. I still cannot understand how we've reached 2023 and NFL referee is still merely a part time position. If you make it a full time job and require these officials to become masters of their craft and not have to fous on two jobs, then the bad calls should decrease
BONUS: Has anyone noticed that these kinds of game deciding calls have had a huge increase since the spread of legalized spors betting? Take a look in the mirror NFL, if you suspend players like Calvin Ridley and Jameson Williams for gambling, (not even on their own teams, just gambling in general) you need to do some serious investigations on your officials.
You hit the nail right in the coffin 🔨⚰️. I’ve been saying that last part for years and it’s obvious‼️
These referees have been in the league for YEARS, They know the difference between a bad call and a good call; the fact that these Calls are so belatedly bad is because they’re obviously betting.
I've never understood that....... The same league where the minimum for a player is $705,000.00 a year can't pay their referees to be full-time employees
prob to make them more likely to take bribes
During season, most refs are full time. After season, they go back to their day jobs.
Refs are held accountable. One or two missed calls does not mean a ref is a bad one. They still make hundreds of CORRECT calls, which most people fail to understand. Best refs get to playoffs, like best teams. Worse refs do not. And these are the best refs available, so benching them makes the overall refereeing....? You guessed it. WORSE!
They are paid to do a shit job.Ratings are king.
When sports betting became mainstream what did yall expect. If we want pure sports competition sports betting has to go, if not this is just going to be the next WWE with pads.
At this point you have to watch Middle School football if you want to see stuff that isn't rigged.
@@tmacman0418 Sad but mostly true.
@@tmacman0418true, high school isn’t choreographed like the NFL, but refs can be paid off for sure
@@playdiscgolf1546 Yeah, that's why I said middle school football, but even that could have paid off refs too.
Sports betting companies Sponsoring the leagues is the issue. They get money when favored outcome occurs
The Dallas v Detroit debacle highlights the rigging beautifully. The refs 100% play favorites and choose to make or not make certain calls all the time. Probably on every single play. Not sure what the solution to the problem is, but there’s no way it gets better on its own. It will certainly continue to get worse unless something changes.
Wrong, when the referee misidentified the eligible player it was Detroit's responsibility to correct it. Had they announced 68 as eligible 68 would have been covered, and the play likely would have failed.
@@davidanderson498 lol ok, bud. Apparently the Detroit coaches had met with the refs prior to the game and showed them that very play just so that they would be familiar with it and ready for it if they decided to run that play. So you’re certain that the refs just made a mistake on a play that they had seen before and knew about as opposed to them doing that on purpose? You have much more faith in the system than I do. There is no excuse for that situation to ever play out in a game, especially when the refs knew the play was coming. They knew who the eligible receiver would be, and the eligible receiver himself reported to the refs before the play. None of that stuff happening seems fishy to you?
@STSGuitar16 exactly. Dan Campbell stated he told the refs prior to the game they would run the play if given the opportunity, and there is video showing 68 reporting prior to the play. He went up to the ref with 70, but he lined up in the receiver position, while 70 lined up in his normal position. The refs blew that call big time, and I personally believe it WAS on purpose to screw Detroit
@@85bbenjaminfan yeah, I mean, I just don’t see a situation where this was purely a mistake. So many different things had to go wrong in order for this to happen that it seems like the refs purposefully missing the call is actually the simplest explanation. Several things conveniently going wrong all at the same time despite the refs’ prior knowledge of the play, vs the refs missing it on purpose. One of those is much simpler to arrive at than the other.
@@davidanderson498wrong
Something is definitely going on here! I have never seen so many horrible calls and non calls. Rigged!!!!
Suit up! or SHUT up! You'll start with pee wee and then move up to high school, college, and then the NFL. Should only take 15 years!!!
@@DianeSchoeneck60 what the hell are you talking about?😂
After the Lions/Raiders game last night, I find it very hard to watch the NFL anymore. The refs were horrible. The games have gotten boring. Between the commercials every two minutes and the refs throwing flags every other play, it’s gotten pretty bad.
Stack of ads 4 times a minute
What sports do you watch instead then? Because I’m pretty sure all AMERICAN sports suffer from too many commercials.
@@Ezekial2517 hockey and soccer are pretty good about commercials thanks to their running clocks
Dude, you have every right to be pissed. As you stated, so many commercials are bad enough but we understand why they're in place, at least. But, then when you get back to the pinch of game in question, you expect decent officiating. Especially since it's been how long since the Lions haven't been a dumpster fire? They have been the punching bag of the other teams in the NFC North for *how* long? Everyone deserves good officiating. Period. It's bullshit. I'd feel the exact same way in your shoes. I know this, because I'm a Packers fan and my intake of NFL content decreased rapidly after the Fail Mary. I'll check in once in a while, be disappointed, and give it up.
I checked in this year cause I heard the Lions were actually hot shit and now I'm back to "Welp, I'm done with that, now."
Basically, done with it. I'll just wait for Feb and the start of the XFL. I didn't think I'd love the transparency in officiating in the XFL as much as I do, but it's wonderful.
then do not watch it - i have no problem with the game or refs - i am an adult i do not get worked up over a football game - grow up
If we want this to change, we have to make it hurt for the NFL. If fans just boycott one Monday night game the league will announce full time officials that week.
Soon you'll see players wearing dresses and chugging Bud Lights. oh wait.. And get vaxxed
Thanks patched
It's all rigged. I'm with a boycott
Please. People are too conditioned to getting drunk all day on Sunday and gambling.
Millions still watch and will always watch and so many kids watch and have no understanding of the cheating. Best thing to do is just do what makes you happy.
Ever since New Orleans boycotted the SB a few yrs ago I swear Goodell has had a vendetta against them. They get so many bs P.I. calls against them or defensive holding it ridiculous. Meanwhile other teams do the same thing to the Saints and the refs just ignore it.
My favorite bad call of the year, was when Josh Allen got horse collar tackled by the Eagle’s Defense, and they threw a flag on him for intentional grounding 😂
Been rigged since 2000
Fr
Since its inception by Vegas casino owners hellloo! Way earlier than 2000
It goes decades further
I remember it being rigged in the late 70s!
Yep
If the NFL really knew how many people don’t watch because they think it’s rigged, they’d fix it. I can’t be the only one who has 80% of friends who stopped watching in the last decade
I've been thinking it was rigged for quite some time now but I really stopped watching because of the BLM nonsense.
It's been years since I watched a don't miss it at all , my grandkids put up better games
Suit up! or SHUT up! You'll start with pee wee and then move up to high school, college, and then the NFL.
they're still getting paid. They know a lot of people know and they don't care
@@thanatos6902 they are getting paid up high and down low behind the back
As a Lions fan a 100 hour video can be made about penalties against them as a historical reference.
Especially when they played in Green Bay in November/December. The penalty flags flew over anything.
As a Lions fan, I want this video to be made.
Exactly why I didn't watch a single game this season, after watching weekly for the past 20 years. This shit is fake as hell, and I'm done with it.
I fully believe that every major sports league does have specific players/teams they will try and favor either for publicity or money. Like they let them play but if it’s close they say “hey, help (player/team) win”
Stafford winning was a great story. Last year, the Kelce brothers in the superbowl. Good storylines. Helping Brady and Mahomes. They always seemed to get favorable calls.
Everyone complains about MLB umps, but they have no where near the same impact in a game as an NFL ref by far
Agreed! Also in baseball, at least the managers and players are allowed to yell at the umps a bit longer before getting ejected. NFL refs on the other hand seem to flat out love rigging the game.
Unless there behind the plate
@@brianmcmahan9579well even a plate ump has to call a swing or foul ball a strike. Then there are balls way off. Then there are balls right down the center. They really only call a few pitches per batter and can't make egregious errors that change possession
Oh, really? Take a look at the batting averages of hitters who are 1-2 vs. 2-1. The ump behind the plate can, and does, make a huge difference.
@@jaredwright1655 Batters will soon be able to ask for reviews. It works out well when I go to AAA games.
I've noticed that after an NFL ref retires or even while they are active they never give interviews or answer questions it like they are in witness protection program! Makes you wonder!
Yeah I haven't watched NFL in years and one of the biggest reasons is the third team deciding games. Refs blow calls in all sports but in football they can practically put points on the board. You put a team on the 1 yard line that's pretty much guaranteed points. They have significantly more power than officials in other games. They need to just outlaw sacks or give every defensive linesman a big cushion to gently lay the QB down in hopes of avoiding a frivolous penalty. Sacks used to be exciting when you're cheering for the defensive team but now you're immediately looking for the roughing penalty.
I’m starting to believe that ALL of the outcomes are PREDETERMINED kinda like the WWE Wrestling matches. THANKS REFS! You’ve KILLED THE GAME
OF FOOTBALL! Good job! 👍🏻
All of the sports want certain storylines to prevail, and they do what can to make things work out the way they want them to work out. I'm old enough to remember the "patented" ninth-inning Yankee rallhy of the Micky Mantle era. Easy to arrange. Just tell the umpires to tighten up the strike zone. The Yankees were the meal ticket for the whole game back then. In general, every league has its flagship teams and those teams get the breaks. Red Auerbach admitted in his memoir that the refs gave the Celtis all the breaks during the Bill Russell. The NBA was happy with the Celtics as the dynasty team and Will Chamberlain as the great individual attraction.
Ok who is the team they want?
If you name the team today and they end up winning the SB you might have a point.
@@erikrogers8214 its rigged for the Ravens to win the superbowl, im calling it right now
@@erikrogers8214As I see it today San Francisco will be the Super Bowl champions. Now that prediction is just from what I've seen so far by the referees. Now if the bedding pool swings the wrong way Vegas may change that
Suit up! or SHUT up! You'll start with pee wee and then move up to high school, college, and then the NFL.
I’m surprised you didn’t include the one where the ref moved the ball back from its original spot literally while the chains were being brought on to the field
If it's the play I'm thinking of, I think the second spot was actually more correct. But it is pretty funny that they couldn't remember who they were supposed to be cheating for and had to fix their mistake.
On that play you also notice a 2nd referee stopping in front of camera while shuffling feet as ball was being moved backwards to try and hide the cheating.
I see that every weekend several times. The runner gets brought down at a certain spot, and instead of putting the ball where his waist or chest landed, the blind (or crooked) ref spots the ball where the runners ankles were..... and I'm not meaning where the runners body wound up after sliding to a stop, but where he actually went to the ground at first. The NFL needs to start a pay system where refs are deducted a certain sizable amount of that games pay for very obvious missed calls.
what I saw on that play is the Ref looking at the line Ref telling him the correct spot. good grief!
Be careful what you say because after all they are officials
Pretty ironic that MGM sports betting ad was shown before this video.
Anyone that dont think the Refs especially Brad Allen and Sarah Thomas arent betting on football or having their surrogates betting on football still believes professional wresting is real.
Well you need to update this video after the lions vs cowboy rigged game! The reffs direct the outcome of lots of games! You are so right💯
The fact that penalties automatically give first downs instead of "earning" a first down through the amount of yardage gained from the penalty tells you everything.
There’s no ref problem in the NFL. The ref’s are doing their job in manipulating the outcomes for the sportsbooks. How many of the calls/no calls cost the betting public plenty of money?
Exactly
You are wise.
Glad I don’t watch, and even gladder I don’t bet.
Well they can legally do that because they post the disclaimer: "this has been a presentation/production of the NFL". It's not just rigged, it's scripted too. The players are all in on it, they throw whatever INT and fake whatever injury they are told to.
P.S.--- Don't let them gaslight you into believing it's one or the other. It is both.
@@SUPERMA5TERscripted implies total control. It's at best fixed. It's closer to improv than acting. I also don't think it's all games. It's all of the post season and key games during the regular season.
Vegas wins
Glad you showed so many bad calls. Enjoyed the presantation. When asked by Joe Montana if the referees cheat, Joe said they try real hard. Didn't think there were so many bad calls.
This guy’s videos are always the best of the heap. 👌
Only thing worse than those calls is hearing the words “Washington _Commanders”_ !! 😖😖🤦♂️
It's like people didn't figure this out when things just kept happening in Bradys favor
Yeeeuuup. I've thought this for years.
I think the NFL is a "soft rigged" organization, where certain games, or point spreads, or playoff seedings are decided upon by the league and they try to enforce it through the reffing.
Not always, not all the time, but often enough that you can absolutely notice it.
It's obvious Tom Brady wasn't on your team. Tom Brady was the face of the NFL. Now it pains me to say this... Patrick Mahomes is now the face of the NFL!!!
@jerryvickers7048 nice to see you're either stupid enough to believe they didn't rig games in his favor countless times or you'd just trying to get a negative reaction out of me
@@jerryvickers7048they won the year of 9/11 ...the PATRIOTS. And was a dynasty until the war ended basically. Katrina happened and guess who won the SB that year? All coincidence huh? Lmao
@@eyeopening618
1. New England won three Super Bowls after 2011.
2.Pittsburgh won the SB in 2005. New Orleans wouldn't win it until 2009.
If we as fans are truly sick of this blatantly rigged league, Then what is stopping us from not watching. Like imagine what the NFL would do if fans stopped watching games for 1 week. Maybe it shows that we care more for the integrity of the game rather than the entertainment purposes. Just my thoughts. Love your videos bro.
NSACAR used to be a huge sports event. Now they have painted the seats, so the cameras don't show the lack of paid attendance.
Or stop betting. Once money gets involved shit becomes fixed
@@sdmdrums9275cannot give enough thumbs up to this comment
Stopped watching years ago for this exact reason
I don't watch any more. I quit in the take a knee days. I don't miss it at all and it doesn't make even a little difference in my life who wins an nfl game.
To make matters worst the players are not allowed to address these issues b/c if they do they will get fined.
The Bills Eagles game PROVED THIS!! I'm out. No longer wasting time on Sunday. It might be in the backround as I go about living a life. DONE.
Game was rigged Sunday
One hundred years ago boxing,horse racing and baseball were the most popular sports in America. They’re still around but no where near the popularity they once held. I get the impression from the NFL that they think that nothing like that could happen to them 😢
Good point
The fastest growing sport in America over the last 10 years is hockey.
Keep making these, people need to make it known as fans of the NFL that we deserve better officiating! This shit is always aggravating as a fan and I can’t even imagine how much it must upset the players when they’re robbed from possible wins
They are the best there is. Live with it.
this whole video is just griping over nothing - get a life
@@RoyalMelaReferee burner account spotted
The players are in on it. Some of them at least. That Chiefs O lineman that kept false starting, how tf else would you explain that? What are the odds a player would false start 12 times in one game? Impossible. They do this fuckery right in your face so that you eventually just accept it. As you can see, this style of brainwashing has worked in spades on this @RoyalMela fellow above. His brain is a small pile of obedient mush anymore.
The NFL is fake. It's pretend football. Think of it as the WWE. The reffs are just part of the show.
I haven't watched the NFL this year after watching it for over 25 years. I don't miss it at all....
Great video. Glad I'm not the only one seeing this lack of following rules by the refs
Yes,the refs are steering games on a regular basis. The goal is to favor the more popular team while simultaneously keeping it fairly close for ratings. They start by calling an insignificant penalty on the favorite team,then they make the loser team make up ground by moving them back so they have to cover the same ground 2-3 times.Then to not appear biased they will then call another insignificant call again on the favorite team.
Why not let the better team win?
@@dethblade4836ratings, and the million betting companies you constantly see adds for
You forgot to mention the spread has everything to do with it… And how Vegas makes money
no they are not - you are just making stuff up - i know for a fact you never watch any nfl games
Ref decisions gave the browns a win over the 49ers...this makes no sense. Don't attach conspiracy where incompetence explains it easily
I think there should be a special team of review booth officials that watch closely and communicate with the officials on the field in real time. Reviews should be automatic on any penalty, score, change of possession, and each team should get 3 challenges separate from time outs in a game. They also should be triggered in special circumstances determined by the booth team. On the field officials should have no say on overturning their own calls.
you may not realise it but alot of what you just described is the way that the NFL replay system works.
@@RogerGoodgroves it’s actually much more like the NHL review system. Penalties should be reviewable.
The NFL is fake, phony, rigged. It's not real football. It's "entertainment", also known as "bread and circus".
Suit up! or SHUT up! You'll start with pee wee and then move up to high school, college, and then the NFL.
Reviews only for when goals are scored or when a 5 minute roughing penalty is assessed. This keeps things from getting ridiculous. Bettman has always said regular games should not go beyond two and a half hours. Gary gets it.@@stevenbacon-cheddar9914
I understand they're only human. But that call at the end of the lions cowboys game was a blatant failure on the ref. It's a shame.
Honestly the gambling aspect of the game has become so huge, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if that tentacle is buying off some refs. Especially the guy who was in about 40% of your clips
I totally agree, I would also like too point out that this issue has risen right along side with the major sports betting that is now going on. So now not just out comes of games are worth millions, but also individual plays-stats you name it.
Point spread too. A guy who worked in vegas told me years ago that it was rigged. It took time but the more I watched the more it became obvious that he was right.
Too suggest refs are on the take is unspeakable. It's a crime to even talk about it. Absolutely no doubt in my mind the refs are taking bribes from Sports Betting Houses. Why wouldn't they? It's never been easier to steal money and never been in shorter supply.
No one can tell me that this stuff isn't scripted. It's gotten to the point where I'd rather watch Monday Night Raw then Monday Night Football because at least WWE admits it's scripted
“This has been a presentation/production of the National Football League”
It isnt scripted, thats dumb as hell. That being said, there is a problem that hadnt been addressed for a loooong time.
@@BoHornI don’t think it’s scripted either, but I do think that refs are paid in some way to make decisions that they think will help one team win the game. Whether it be NFL owners, betting companies, or just people they know that are helping them make money. It happened in the NBA, and definitely happens in the NFL as well
@@dillonisham4332 i mean, possibly, but a major hole in NBA reffing is how many scoring opportunities you can interrupt compared to the NFL. A relatively low scoring system makes it much harder for the refs to be involved without sticking out. Id say the ref system is better than some umpire teams for example where they can affect most pitches they like. Refs might be involved, but the obvious solution is for fans to push that refs are paid full time and are held accountable. The game happens very quickly, so a lot of calls will simply look bad when we can zoom in and play in slow motion. Thats not to excuse the obvious blown calls, just the typical ones. Another thing to present is the fact that many penalties happen per snap, so the refs are inherently meant to make judgement calls on when penalties are called or not. Imo, the whole idea that vegas pays out for favors from refs is silly because their entire betting structure evens the money on boths sides and they do not lose, they dont need to maintain status quos, they balance the money coming in to maximize profit.
The NFL admits it too,by referring to it as “Sports entertainment” rather than sports.
These has to be investigated
The NFL as a whole needs to be investigated and brought up on criminal charges! Roger Goodell needs to be removed! The NFL draft is in Detroit 2024 I don't think he will be getting a warm reception.
I usually don’t have an issue with bad or missed calls, it only bothers me when they are inconsistent throughout the game.
So a game full of bad calls doesn’t bother you?
When Bateman got flagged for Ineligible Man downfield, when he's a WR is all levels of bad for me
That’s not how the penalty works, wr or not if we was on the line with someone else on the line further out than him. It’s ineligible man downfield.
All level of bad knowledge of rules for you.
Realizing gambling controls ALL sports outcomes (pro and college) is the adult’s version of realizing Santa is fake.
There are expert referee analysts in the booth & are always asked for their opinion or explanation. When the shoe doesn’t fit … call it upstairs to downstairs!
I find it hard to believe how many calls they miss with instant replay. I don't think the NFL can do anything to improve the officiating short of quit rigging the games. I have no doubt about the League's intent to rig games. It's all too obvious.
Bingo.
This happens in the NCAA as well. Just watched one today where no calls that were clear fouls were not called.
like the Hurricanes - Yellow Jackets game this year.
Somebody explain me the last 2 minutes of the game! - so obvious.
Suit up! or SHUT up! You'll start with pee wee and then move up to high school, college, and then the NFL.
Vegas betting has ruined a lot of sports. Same thing with college football in the NCAA, particularly in the PAC12. Ever since George Kliavkoff became the Commissioner of ths conference, I've seen unacceptably bad officiating ruin many games each year. Especially Colorado games.
Kliavkoff is a former MGM guy and was involved in sports betting to some degree. It's obvious to me that he's tampering with games via the officials to protect his Vegas bets he's making on a weekly basis. It would also make sense because what was he doing as a Commissioner to fail so badly at getting a media deal?
i swear the only legitimate ref is that one guy that looks like michael from the office
I am 100% sure the current refs are bought by either the NFL or sports books in Vegas. There is way too much money at stake for them not to be. Everyone can be bought
Well, maybe, but were it me in the zebra stripes, I’d make sure to precollect my payola and then favor the exact opposite team just to stick it to the people that thought I could be bought.
Why else would they move a team to Vegas.
@@deanheilman1979 Exactly, moving the Raiders to Las Vegas was stupid. They've always been a California team. If not Oakland, then they should be playing in L.A. right now alongside the Rams. The Chargers should've moved to Vegas, they'd definitely would have had better fan support there.
As crazy as this sounds the referees aren't necessarily at fault like you would think the referees are only doing what they're told to call by the higher-ups of the NFL and Vegas During certain moments in certain games if not most of them
Yeah I believe some games the players free style and sometimes if its close and the higher ups decide a winner they make a call to the Reff. And then i believe some games are rigged and scripted right off the bat.
@@DallasBaldys That's just simply not true lmao.. that's a conspiracy theory, tinfoil hat bs..
The refs are in the pocket of the mob...they get orders
There is pass interference on every play. But this stuff is insane.
And the owners are the ones who make qbs untouchable, literally. They wanna protect their overpaid investments.
I recommend increasing the challenges and allowing decisive decisions to be reviewed for incorrect calls; and maybe follow the money.
Thank you! Very clear. I’ll say once, THE REFS AND SOME STUPIDS RULES ARE KILLING THIS SPORT.
We have the technology and fans need to keep lobbying for fairness even if it hurts the refs fragile ego ! Thank you for making this video.
Suit up! or SHUT up! You'll start with pee wee and then move up to high school, college, and then the NFL.
Gee, it couldn't POSSIBLY have anything to do with NFL's intimate relationship with Vegas, gambling and gambling apps could it?
Josh Allen really begging the refs for roughing the passer calls
He gets the softest RTP of ANY QB in the league
Everyone does I agree he get more of them but he’s not the only one who begs
He doesn't even beg. He just gives the signal.
@@mytwosense9135I’m a Bills fan but I agree. He knows that the theatrics work. I hated it when Tom Brady got all the calls. I just wanna see football, not a play.
Im here in buffalo and i think josh allen belongs to the screen actors guild.
I pretty much lost interest in the NFL since the Rock's introduction at Superbowl 56
One of the biggest “hints” we’ve ever gotten…..
Yeah, it's easy to pick out what you call mistakes the day after. I'm glad you called this your 'opinion', and gave a half hearted disclaimer 'the refs are only human, blah, blah, blah...'
I totally agree with you. I'm happy that somebody is FINALLY bringing this up. I can't help think that these calls do influence the outcome of games. With gambling the stakes are even higher. I suggest they use refs in the replay booth. We see better than the refs.
All of these calls that aren't there get flagged and the ones that are clear penalties that get swept under the carpet aren't by chance. Nothing is more rigged than the NFL and the refs are the ones pulling the strings. If you can't see that by now you are living in a fairyland
I've been watching the NFL for about 40 years (yes, I'm in my 50s). Before instant replay, there were bad calls made, but not to the extent of today. NFL games have always been part of the betting world. The calls have been getting consistently more questionable since the Tuck Rule game. Add that to certain rules being installed and only called for certain players (no hitting the QB below the knees for Tom Brady), and it has made things worse. The NFL has always kept referree discipline hush hush, but if they want to keep people from abandoning the game, they need to make it just as public as they do discipline for players. It seems like every season since the Tuck Rule game, it has gotten more and more blatant. The owners won't pay attention until it begins to affect the bottom line.
Thevref are the rules there are no writen numbered leauge rules
again, its deeper than the refs...the refs are doing what they are told....these aren't missed calls.....they do it all with purpose...change the outcome of the game but minimally, to beat the spread...
It seems like the game is rigged. Is someone getting to the officials? Do we need sequestered officials? Clean up the game!!
My mans be moon walking on them o lines and refs just think they are celebrating😂
Does everyone really think the refs are this bad? Their job is to take orders from Vegas and to keep the game on script
Right, athletes are getting better and better with each generation. But somehow the refs have gotten worse? With video evidence, none the less….
Vegas making a lot of money, along with the rich.
ABSOSULTELY CORRECT!!! You see and understand this while most on this comment platform or putting it on the refs which they are merely the puppets (refs) that employs the puppeteers (Vegas) will!!! At the two minute warning is when all the numbers are tabulated and final instructions are sent out...Mind you it does not happen on ALL games but on select ones for sure Superowl nothwitstanding ... And as evident in my prior comment regarding the Balt vs Ariz game a couple wks ago...
As a Raiders fan, I know the zebras pick and choose what penalties are called.
You got that right, Raiders are the most penalized team in the league.
Glad I'm not the only one seeing this!!
Spygate and Deflate gate with Brady and Billichek is a great example of what's wrong with the NFL.
Is the NFL Rigged?
ALSO: I think this could be a future series on the channel since the shitty refs literally effect all of our teams😂(and you guys seem to enjoy me calling it out) If it’s cool with you guys, I could drop a video like this 3 times a season (once every 6 weeks) or twice a season (once every 9 weeks). So lmk what you’d rather see⬇️
Yes we need this compliation
Make it week by week, with a compilation of the most egregious no calls/incorrect calls of the season when the Super Bowl is over.
It’s choreographed, not rigged by the refs. They’re part of the entertainment. Controversy actually improves buzz and ratings. And feeds talk shows like yourself….
More of this!!! Please. Best YT content. New sub
What about the 49ers vs Browns game cause that had a lot of really bad calls against both teams.
Can you have an officiating problem again if you never stopped having one in the first place?
The first time I heard about rigging was the Super Bowl 13 matchup between Pittsburgh and Dallas when Cowboy TE Jackie Smith let a pass in the end zone hit his chest and bounce off.
Right - That was so clearly rigged. Tight ends never, ever drop passes, even when thrown at their feet, causing them to have to slide to get down low enough to catch it. Pittsburgh obviously paid off Jackie Smith before the game so that he'd drop that pass they knew he'd get at that crucial point late in the 4h quarter.
@@humanbeing2420 I said that about Jackie Smith but Pittsburgh still were the better team. The greatest ever with all those H.O.Fs.
Yes you are completely right and people realize it even more knowing where to look
Here's something that is disturbing as soon as there is a penalty the lead reff gets on the microphone and starts to ask how Washington wants them to call it
One more thing one reff calls a penalty and the lead reff over rules a important timely call that in no way he could have seen it or not
There loosing long time audiences
The question needs to be asked, how much does Ed Hochuli have on the games, and on who. That's your winner, every time.
You could fill an entire three hour video of all the bad calls against the bills
Does the NFL audit game footage and fire those with frequent errors?
It’s time for penalty replay from NY on no calls & bad calls as to get the play right as once said & not change game outcome!!!Something is wrong here!
I knew it was rigged since 2000 when Tom Brady became omniscient in the 4th quarter with his O-line getting away with the most blatant holding I've ever seen in a football game. I didn't know the extent it was rigged though. It goes far further than just the refs.
I would say the Chiefs get away with a lot of penalties that should have been called. Tom Brady could and did back up the penalties called against his team!! Tom Brady#12 the Greatest of all Time!!! 💯 Fact 🎯
Patriot been know for cheating now it just the Eagle
So you knew it was rigged in 2000? 23 years later you are still watching and commenting on it. You do reaslise that's 23 years of your life you won't get back? Did it never occur to you do watch or do something else?
Very good video, one thing that I think would help fans and people wake up and realize what is happening is changing the word rigged to manipulated. The games are heavily manipulated to ensure certain outcomes.. for whatever reason people can't grasp this possibility when the word rigged or fixed is used
The N.F.L. is going the same way, as professional boxing went.when honesty goes, what's left.
Uncle Remus said it is the classic dilemma…too many folks sleeping thru the alarm clock.
You've created a sport that is essentially impossible to referee. Every player on the field is trying to break the rules without getting caught in subtle ways and trying to sell everything the other side does as a penalty.
The art of being a good defensive back for example is basically the ability to cheat without getting caught
Could you elaborate on the point about defensive backs
They have RFID chips on every player, they’re in the ball, pylons, etc. even the refs wear them. They have 100 different angles of a play instantly. Yet the NFL sees the shit calls or no calls we all see at home and just…let the refs be human and make mistakes.
Seriously if the NFL wanted to make penalties in the league consistent, they could do it by this next weekend of games. NY should review every play passively as to not impede the flow of the game. 50 year old dudes should not be the eyes determining penalties. They should be there for show, just like the down markers and chains. NY should be the ones identifying penalties with their 150 angles and crystal clear, zoomed in footage that they can watch in slow motion. They should be relaying the info they have at their fingertips into the ears of the officials, who can then announce the calls on field.
Seriously, they can do this tomorrow. They don’t want to. They know what the officials are doing, and it’s hard to believe there isn’t some motivation for allowing/enabling this to continue…and seemingly get worse. Hard to imagine it coincidentally got way more egregious to the point of genuinely impacting the outcome of games, at the same time that online sports betting became legal in 40+ states overnight lol.
On Josh Allen versus Josh Allen flag where you said he hit the quarterback too hard . It was for illegal contact helmet to helmet, not for roughing the passer . But that does fall under the heading of roughing the passer, so that was the right call to make.
Quit watching NFL years ago. Bad calls and I felt tuned into a commercial with a little ball interspersed.
This is one of many reasons that i stopped watching professional football. Yes, college football is not as polished but atleast it doesnt feel rigged every week.
i agree with you on everything roughing the passer is out of control. the only small thing and very very very small thing is that we have the benefit of slow motion and lots of reviews. that being said if they need more officials or an eye in the sky then get up to speed. officiating has been pathetic for as long as i can remember
The pass interference no-call in the Saints game several years ago was the last time I watched an NFL game, and I see it hasn't gotten better.
I'm just glad that you've shown all this I hope that America will either get Justice or quit watching this fraudulent BS
Would love to see a coach taking his team off the field after an obvious blown call
Officiating will improve when the politicians leave the Commissioners seat.
My relatives and friends hate me for calling it rigged like damn theyre so blind lol
