Absolutely horrific performances by NFL referees today
Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2022 8:18 pm
I was at the Lions/Packers game today, and watched a clear fumble happen next to the end zone, and everyone jumped on the ball since it was a fumble, it was originally ruled incomplete by the refs, and then New York looked at it (since there were less than 2 minutes, no challenges are allowed after 2 minutes), and the ruling stood. Now, I have heard thunderous booing at Ford Field, but I’ve never heard anything like the booing that moment; even the green bay fans sitting next to us were appalled about the call. The Lions still won, but barely.
Then it got worse, as a BLATANTLY obvious Pass Interference call that would’ve been called for Chicago against Miami pretty much went unnoticed. That would’ve been an instant win for the Bears.
I’ve seen lots of bad calls/no calls, but this is the worst I’ve ever seen, and even former NFL referees have said that the league should be questioning the referees and officials that made (or didn’t make) the calls today.
I seriously hope this gets looked at, when you hear an opponent's team booing the refs for a call that‘s clear as day in favor of the opponent. You know something has gone seriously wrong.
