Another bullshit flag to decide the game

Refs allergic to Flowers?

Note to OTs ... if a DE has you held on shoulder pad or collar exaggerate holding your head back and you might get illegal hands to the face. 1 costly penalty then another that cost the Lions any chance at a comeback win.
Just hate when ticky tack call rob fans from seeing what players could accomplish.

I just can’t imagine the anger and frustration that a player must feel when they give their heart and soul on the field in a game of huge importance to have a ref screw them.
I would have loved to have seen the Lions have an opportunity to answer.

Wow, this is fucking criminal act.
Somebody should sue these thieves.

As much as I wanted Packers to win this I just think the refs gave the game to them. That Bakhthiari call was just terrible. Twice. The packers would've still won the game without the appearance of the referees calling it for them. These refs this season have been abominable. But, having said all that for @icebowl's sake I'm okay with the Pack winning it.

I will never understand how they keep their cool in a situation like that.
My career would be over right there.

Just so happen those penalties happened when the Packers failed to convert on third down and the Lions defense held Aaron Rodgers in check, coincidence? I;m sarcastic when I say the refs are betting on the game but some of these calls just make you think that something is going on behind the scenes that needs to be exposed. There needs to be an investigation into these officials, like an legit investigation of the NFL telling officials to sway penalties toward certain teams, whether there is some legit betting going on by officials swaying their decision to throw flags, etc. At this point it's a damn disgrace to the league.

The refs have a subconscious bias towards the stronger teams, I don't think it's rigged I just think they always give the benefit of doubt to the favoured team. Just ask any All Blacks fan.

Well there's no denying that, but you still get the 50 50 calls.
I think what’s most important here is that if fans and viewers can’t trust the officiating of a game then the integrity of the game is ruined
That’s a massive thing to have threatened through incompetence
There’s so many ways this problem could have been fixed years ago but it still lingers

First and foremost all refs should be fulltime. They also should adopt some college rules.

But the transparency of the TMO is perfect from what I've seen so far at the WC. That is something the NFL should strongly consider to implement. Or am I missing something?
ive always said the more you hear of the refs talking through their decisions the more trust and respect fans and players and coaches will have for the officials
i find it absurd that no major sports other than rugby hear the referees during the game - there's a reason rugby officials are considered some of the best at their craft in the world, there's also a reason why there is a culture of respect and appreciation in that sport for the referees also
it's because there is transparency and understanding which breeds trust and respect - and it ultimately means more people are inclined to take up the profession which means you end up with larger and better talent pools

I do agree with this and I think it goes double for the teams who have what I call a “golden boy” at QB.
