The worst NFL call I've ever seen

[mazeroth]

I mean, seriously, can it get any more blatant. The holding was also ridiculous.

Wow. What the hell?

I've always thought there was too much gambling on NFL for it to not be... influenced. That, however, is just blatant.

 

[amdhunter]

It was probably an angle thing. Otherwise, yeah bad call.

 

[Phokus]

Refs have been giving the steelers calls for a long time

 

[mazeroth]

Up for others to enjoy.

For real. In the Steelers-Chargers two weeks ago, the refs didn't call jack on the Steelers til the 4th quarter....as if there was a sudden shift of momentum in the 4th quarter. :disgust:

Last year I jokingly told my buddies during the first playoff game that the NFL is fixing games...and that it would be steelers vs cardinals at the super bowl. I told them, the NFL will choose the steelers, because they were very profitable. And they'll choose the cardinal, because it's an emerging market. But I also told them it would be a close super bowl game, which it was not.

Makes up for the holding call they missed on the Browns TD return.

Look at the hash mark... it is at a drastic angle.
It's a lot closer to a first down than it looks from that angle.

 

[Triumph]

You are all just jealous of the Steeler's success.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

just a bad camera angle

It's at about a 30-40 degree angle behind the ball on the chain side. From the side there wouldn't be a gap between the ball and the marker. Now that still doesn't mean it's a first down, but it ain't as bad as all that either.

Makes up for Heads-Tails in detroit.

Like the coin toss against the Lions on thanks giving or the forward lateral against the Patriots in the 2001-02 season AFC championship...oh wait, those went against them.

Yeah I just looked at it again and if you look at the hash marks, it's a pretty extreme angle. From my eyeballing, it looks like it was much much closer than it seems, and was likely a first down.

I don't understand what I just watched...what'd I miss?

You must be new to the NFL if that's the worst call you've ever seen.

I can't tell if my sarcasm meter broke or not.

 

[kranky]

If the 11 members of the Browns defense who were standing right there watching the measurement didn't complain about the call, doesn't that tell you the call was right?

 

[rudder]

The Titans got robbed as well!!! There was offensive pass interference all over the place during that game. I mean 5 passing touchdowns in the 2nd quarter... there is no way. The team would have to absolutely suck an be on the verge of forfeiting their remaining games.

there should have been a safety on VY and the final score should've been 61-0.
