On the horsecollar the funny thing is the ref doesn't throw the flag until the player asks for it and then he conferred with another ref before throwing it. The camera shows him put his hand on the flag, take it off, then put it back on.
Brees has taken three shots to the head, then they call the Saints for it.
I'm pulling for Minny, but the refs are ruining this game, at least for me.

On top of a couple questionable OPIs...that even Mike Pereira sad were bad.

That’s a little melodramatic. Every team that’s won so far in the playoffs did so on merit not ref assistance.
Watching grass grow. The Vikings front 7 is toying with the Saints and Payton is doing NOTHING to counter. When the Patriots whip the Vikings in the Super Bowl, the lesson will be revealed finally. Spread the Vikings out, empty your backfield and challenge those DBs to cover a lot of ground. That is a run stuffing machine in Minnesota, but they will get shellacked by Brady and company, they are simply too big and too slow to chase Lewis, White, Hogan and Amendola all over the field for 60 minutes.

You could easily make a case that the Titans beat the Chiefs because Mariota was inexplicably ruled to have his forward progress stopped on an immediate sack and fumble.
It's really easy to win on merit when the refs gift points or take turnovers away. Hell, the Saints get called for a PI that put the ball at the 6 on a play where the WR fell down.
And I haven't said the refs are winning games for teams - I'm saying they've been fucking horrific. I mean terrible. Some of the errors have been not even knowing the rules.

Who lost this year because of the refs? These officiating posts come off as pedantic bitching.
I'll point out that I'm saying the officiating is horrific. Triplette's crew fucked up a rules matter and failed to spot the ball properly (3 yards short!).

But since you are calling it pedantic bitching, you only have to look to last week where the Chiefs, already up two scores, sacked and caused Mariota to fumble, getting the ball near midfield. Instead, it was ruled forward progress stopped and the Titans retained possession.
The refs if not caused the Jets to lose to the Pats, certainly impacted the result, as they did the same to the Lions vs. the Falcons.
But again - my point isn't that they are throwing games - they have simply been terrible. Indefensibly terrible. Hell, even after last night's Pats game, there have been columns today talking about the perception of biased refereeing. I'm not even claiming bias - I'm claiming incompetence.
I remember when I was belittled about taking Thomas although we got an excellent player in Sterling Sheppard
Thomas is a baller does so many things great
wasn't he a QB in college ?
RE: Shocking what speed and talent at the LB position will do for a team Â

In the spring, I think.

I'm glad that sideline reporter was able to tell us about Michael Thompson.

Are you implying the NYFG lack either, or both, at LB? ;-).
You're damned right, brother!
When did he hire Marvin Lewis to sit in the booth and advise him on these?
Lol he just topped himself
Terrible.
He really did outdo himself!!
Possibly. The silver lining may be that Forbath spazzes out on a re-kick.
A catch called out of bounds where the receiver gets 2 feet in
