Unfair advantage: Pat*****... We knew Brady had a speaker in his helmet that didn’t turn off. Who knew he had a microphone to talk to refs around the league? He’s got his own little Red Zone Communication Center in a helmet! This is worse than I feared!!!

Belicheat has gotta stay one step ahead of the shoeshine; two steps across the county line, in the words of Paul Simon. Clear and blatant cheating won't work anymore. He's gotta be creative to pull this sheeee-ite off, year after year; decade after decade.
Malazan Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 pft really should be a banned source. They're TMZ for the nfl
John in Jax Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Very interesting...and I fully agree that this is how these fouls WELL AWAY from the action should be handled.....BUT, I've NEVER seen it handled this way before. I have seen fouls well away from the play called, and enforced, many, MANY times over the years. Is this a new rule adjustment for this year?
FLbills Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 I might be in the minority here, but it looked like Kelce got under the left armpit of the DB and then went to the ground on his own after the DB got spun around a bit. I definitely didn't see where the DB pulled him down.

Lol The whole point of the rule book is to eliminate unfairness. NFL officiating is plagued by a lack of common sense. .. ....and probably corruption.

In this case, it didn't end up as a turnover so there is no auto-review. Also, from the original article: "PFT has learned that replay review definitely was not involved in this decision", auto review didn't kick in for this particular play. I don't want to rag on you and certainly it has improved over the years, but since when is PFT a definitive source for what goes on in the league? 38 minutes ago, John in Jax said: Very interesting...and I fully agree that this is how these fouls WELL AWAY from the action should be handled.....BUT, I've NEVER seen it handled this way before.

It seems to me that also matters.
Southern Bills Fan Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 They have those microphones that talk official to official. They give one to Belichick before each patriots game so they can ask him if the penalty against them should be called or not. 1
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 And why does the guy from new you sound just like Bill Belichick?
Vod Kanockers Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 4 hours ago, DisplacedBillsFan said: It's been fairly apparent this year that via their ear pieces, officials on the field are receiving input from someone off the field. It's happened on multiple potential "game changing" calls that were not under review or challenged (e.g. kick catch interference in the Steelers game last night). The normal routine is the officials huddle to "discuss" it, but it's obvious they're waiting on input that's communicated to them from somewhere. Side note, I'm 100% fine with this, but feel the league should be more transparent about it. Odd timing since sports gambling is legal this year, wouldn’t you say? ?
Brand J Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 But these idiots are allowed to call offensive holding on a play away from the ball that has absolutely no bearing on the outcome of that play?

NewEra Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 and the lions were hosed tonight. Just like the jets were almost hosed yesterday. It’s just too obvious. pathetic.
Bad Things Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Just say "No to Hochuli." That last name has been the bane of many NFL fans for too long.

It’s just too obvious. pathetic. The game tonight really demonstrates the total control of a game, including a reversal of its outcome, a single official can have with just 2 key plays. If NFL refs haven't been bought off before, they will be at some point in the future. The reward is too great for everyone involved not to engage in a little good old American greed/fraud. 1
