Thursday Night Football - Vikings at Rams

[Draconator]

Vegas has to start taking bets on when Refs determine the outcome of a game. 

[VaMilBill]

I don’t know why they don’t have essentially an extra ref in the booth to help out the guys on the field. Would make it so much better

O’Connell is not as angry as I need him to be. 

[TheBrownBear]

NFL refs are a friggin joke.

How can I see the face mask real time on my TV, yet all these “eye in the sky” refs see nothing here?

if that was us on defense you just know the Eye-In-The-Sky would have called down to the refs and they’d have thrown the flag

[Billznut]

NFL officials are the worst. The majority are over age 50 with failing eyesight, as almost all people do once they reach their mid 40s and plenty of them are overweight enough that they can’t even move fast enough to be in position to make the correct call to start with. Absolute freaking joke. 

[Doc Brown]

Hellen Keller would've even called that a facemask.

I used to mock ‘the nfl is rigged’ believing people but my goodness lol

Isn't that what Sky Ref is supposed to do? Fix the blatant calls that are missed?

[Jon in Pasadena]

Right in front of an official dreaming of his future pension...

[strive_for_five_guy]

Love that they keep showing it over and over, what a joke

[stevestojan]

I’m heading over to the Vikings message board. I’ll let you know if they agree that refs are human and make oopsies sometimes. 

[Process]

An onside punt....that's something I haven't seen before

You would think… This sport is overloaded with commercial/advertisement spots, so much so that they actively love any break in play lol

 

Soccer introduced VAR on moments that may have missed being officiated. 
 

NFL would love that!

Ya think Mahomes woulda gotten that call?

Go figure. LA team, the “gem” of the NFL gets away with that obvious, head jerking penalty!

 

 

[Jon in Pasadena]

I mean, the Rams deserved to win this game, but the Vikes deserved a chance to tie it in regulation. They were bent over.

In some other random game on some random play you'll hear about some sky judge making the ruling on a play just like that.  They just pick and choose random stuff to intervene on.

It's literally right in front of him.  He's staring at it from 5 feet away!

LA was on the end of favorable calls all night.
