Call a fumble on the Skins returned by the Eagles for a TD.

Replays show Cousins hand coming forward. Announcers think it's an incomplete pass. Official working the booth calls it an incomplete pass. Redskins keep their offense on the field, the Eagles put their defense back on the field (according to announcers). By all accounts it's going to be overturned

Call "stands". The one guy that matters didn't see what everyone else did.

Refs just stole a TD from the Seahawks.

Rodgers throws a pick six, and two bogus flags are thrown to take it away.



Fuck this League. So corrupt. They take the fans for suckers.

If anything, it should have been a penalty on GB's Adams for facemasking Lane. Why do they not review ejections?

I agree Tar Heel.

Refs were so determined to take that away. The guy returning the ball was in the clear by 10+ yards.

Hawks needed that TD, as their offense is abysmal.

Clearly an incomplete pass. What a joke this officiating is. I turned off this garbage to watch the US Open.

These games are unwatchable.

Look at these 4pm games. This Seattle game is horrendous. The Colts aren't an NFL team and neither are the 49ers.

Texts I got from friends during the Steelers game today:

“I'm going to cut grass...NFL blows”

“The games lack any excitement”

“I'd rather watch reporters standing in a hurricane force wind and rain”

^ These are former season ticket holders who used to start drinking at 9am for football games.

The NFL has no idea how much trouble this league is in. None.<style type="text/css">p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica}</style>

I thought today was absolutely horrible to watch. I had the eagles game on at work and enjoyed it but nothing besides that. There is so little entertainment value anymore. It's a shame

I still don't know how they ruled it a fumble in the skins game. He clearly threw the ball forward

Sickening...Clearly see that ball had left his hand and was actually "batted"....Oh well don't want to be a sore loser but it sucks...

It's so damn obvious, yet some asshole looked at that same replay time and time again and somehow determined that the arm was not going forward when the ball left his hand. There was no contact before the release, after the ball was several inches from the QB's hand and heading downfield it was deflected

It was clearly a deflected pass, not a fumble. The Eagles even put their defense back on the field

I get missing a call or two w/ the naked eye. But with replays and when they "review" it is weird seeing them still get the call wrong.
