    I have NFL gamepass. I have watched this play repeatedly. I am having a real hard time with this one. I'm trying real hard to understand why this official threw that flag. Looking for something that may have appeared to be holding. There's just nothing there. I don't know what was going on in the officials mind, but this one is seriously suspicious. It really appears he knowingly called a penalty that wasn't committed. Believe me, I don't want that to be the case, but I'm having a very hard time seeing it as a mistake. This stinks bad. The NFL really needs to send a message to the officials. The integrity of the league is at stake. Also, I think the media should be able to questions officials after games when they make calls that change the outcome. The man that threw that flag should have to explain to all NFL fans why he did so.

    This is a good point - I heard it brought up yesterday on my sports radio show I listen to at work.

    The refs should answer to media - players have to, owners have to , head coaches have to ...

    The problem they brought up though is that the refs would make the NFL product look bad by speaking and possibly back tracking or admitting they didn't know the rule ... So Roger would never take such a risk

    But it is a interesting point - make these guys stand up in front of media and say why they threw a flag on a play that changed the outcome of a game.

    Theres literally a dude on the sidelines with a big f^cking sign that shows what down it is. THATS HIS ONLY JOB! He just stands his dumba$$ on the sideline and switches the sign at each down!

    If youre unsure of what down it is, turn your stupid f^cking head and look at that @$$hole with the sign. Add 1 to whatever number is up there!

    F^ck outta here!

    What is the point in all this for the NFL to acknowledge the refs made a mistake? Does it really matter? No! I say no because there's no accountability at all. Who cares they say, "yes, no flag should have been thrown." What does that do for the team, the fans, the coaches? NFL needs to suspend the ref or the crew from officiating a few games or cut their pay, i don't know, but do something to attempt to cut down these game defining errors.

    Haven't you heard. They don't suspend the refs who screw up they just assign them to the next Titans game like they did against Miami.

    If they screw up against the Titans then oh well no one reports on them anyway lol

    That's pretty much what it is unfortunately. >:{

    This is true as well, but the teams played a very close game statistically. When that happens neither team is really superior enough to overcome bad calls at critical moments of the game like that.
