Truly don’t understand how teams can make up for the officiating?

I noticed a lot of referees having their hand on the flag like it's a gun. Just waitin' to draw.

I agree its becoming unwatchable... No one can tackle anyone in the open field, it's impossible.

Also, the qbs scramble, nearly always are contained but get away for a 15 yard scramble or complete a long pass.

Gardner Minshew scored twice today on Cleveland's defense, they weren't one yarders either.

End of Pitt game, PI against Rams, phantom call, he never touched him and then the spot on 4th down, Pickett didn't even reach the line of scrimmage and they gave him the 1st down GAME OVER. I thoughts NY was overseeing every game and would buzz down on obvious screw ups?

legalize gambling fked the whole shit up its overrrr gambling was a thing not a thing now :P its time to move on or get destroyed i told my babe 1 year ago when they legalize it that this capping game thing was over and vola a year and half over its pretty much done  

other than cheating bookies out of bad line theres nothing to do wit this at ALLLLL

You sound like you were watching a different game or don’t understand the rules. 

They have buzzed them before and have changed calls with a challenge. I have seen ir with mine own eyes!

Goodell is friends with Vince McMahon,  think about it

To answer your question. You can’t. You can only try to read the tea leaves. The league seems really excited this year about a 4 way battle in the NFC north, so Steelers and Browns weee both gifted wins today. And since Buffalo lost, Miami had to lose to keep things tight between them. League loves a at least a couple of tight division battles, especially with watchable teams. They also love some dominance thrown in, like the Chiefs and Eagles. Sets up for interesting games down the road. 

One of the greatest performances by the refs was about 5 years ago.  Aaron Rodgers in Indianapolis.  I think it went to overtime.  Aaron was determined to lose.  Refs were determined to have GB win.  They called offensive holding on the Colts 4or5 times in a row to back them up by 40+ yards.  In the end, Aaron got his way.

I was told a long time ago that there is holding on every snap in the NFL. Every snap. The Refs simply decide when is a good time to call it. Made sense to me.

says the guy patrolling an NFL betting board.  ok

umps are bad. refs are bad.  happens in all sports.  some are biased.  it happens. it's life.  sometimes it works for you.  sometimes not.  i had Miami.  wrong side and Philly got all the calls.  move on.  there are more games.

and the NFL isnt reaching out to any specific demographic.  they want it all.  they want every demographic watching. left right up down. dont care if you drink milk, water wine beer.  they want it all

if you're butthurt because you see Taylor Swift on one game out of 16 for two minutes of total air time, get help.  the NFL will be all in on it because it's a new demographic watching.  flip to a different game.  or better yet just ignore her and all of that mess.  who cares about her.  but to get upset about it is really dumb.

it's the same reason NFL pushed England and now Germany and Mexico and probably Spain, Australia, Brazil, etc.  They want to push hard to be a global product which means more money

Even way worse was Det at GB on MNF about 4 or 5 years ago. The refs carried GB the length of the field to get a game winning gimme fg. It was the most obvious fix I've every witnessed. They called illegal contact over and over again for nothing.

@arch1969

You can add the Saints/Rams playoff game a few years ago when the refs completely fuked the Saints with an obvious, blatant No PI call at the end which cost the Saints a chance for the Super Bowl.  Can't get any worse than that.  

Interesting tweets from Mike McDaniel, lol...

Lol this dude is hilarious in interviews and tweets. Just for that I want to put some on him to win coach of the year , but he probably won't win it now after this outburst 

@Digitalkarma

 WOW!

That is crazy Bro. He brought receipts AND security camera footage.

McDaniel is lucky he is 'black' or else the yiddish mafia in the League Office would disappear him TOMORROW. He is going way off script calling out their corruption.

More rules and regulations, gains more control..... Works in nfl and government, control!!!   Knock!

@Digitalkarma

 Amazing

How big the fine gonna be???

@flatron123

 Very True the game has changed big time !! You can see its so obvious look at KC v Chargers they left Kelsey wide open in the middle of the field to market the Taylor Swift Kelce show and in the second half Chargers with two turn overs turned it right back over to KC who had an obvious fumble overturned.  All to keep the game under the total of 48 !!

@Stinky1

 I.was told the same by my good friend from the Buffalo Bills Pete Metzellars 

Maybe a 1 game suspension wouldn't surprise me lol! If that really does happen then Dolphins crush Pats by 20 next week 

Don't you just hate that ?

so only 10 times in the history of the NFL has there been a game where 1 team had 10+ penalties and the other team Zero.  Dolphins/Eagles last night.  Eagles not holding   Footage all over twitter of them holding. Dolphins throw a TD and boom holding. No TD.  Hurts makes a big play and OL tackles DE and no penalty.  Dolphins 4th down and DB grabs face mask and pull him down. No penalty. Sorry Dolphins had no chance last night. Say what u want. 

Football is by far the worst sport to bet on.  Not only you have the turnover factor but the flags and refs to deal with.  

Refs actually have ear piece that takes command from "someone"
