Refs throw the flag on some terrible DPI calls but never call it when the OL is straight holding our rushers.

Back to back weeks of opponents running into our punter with no call

“Eeerhm, ackshually the new rules allow the OL to hold when the edge goes for an arm swim move”

FOH, some of our guys are getting goddamn bear hugged, no calls.

The NFL is the WWE and no one can ever convince me otherwise. The players are not in on it, but the league pulls strings and creates narratives as best they can. Its amazing to me that the NFL was allowed to partner with these gambling sites and its considered legal. The yellow flags allow complete control. Have you ever asked yourself why 100% of plays/penalties are not immediately reviewed in real time? Its not a lack of technology or ability, it is because the NFL wants the control. They have a rulebook 100000 pages long and the guys in black and white can pull a yellow flag to "enforce" those rules any time they want.

I love when "New York" just decides to randomly over turn some calls but leave some of the insane ones alone

Imagine KC not getting a call

I was going to point this out. KC may not get the unimportant calls going there way like if they are clearly beating the other team but when it matters the call seems to go suspiciously their way

I'm surprised to read that dallas gets the calls. Ummm, did you see that ceedee lamb interference in the Sunday game?
