It’s because of sports betting. Idc about the concept but it should be ILLEGAL for sports betting sites to use the voice of the NFL to advertise betting.

It’s in plain sight. They’re alternating the games in real time. As soon as there is a shift in momentum here comes a bogus flag.

Gambling is the underlying cause.

Teams need to be able to have the ability to have ALL calls replayed and turned over on BAD CALLS!!!

People are starting to give up watching NFL footballl for 2 main reasons. 1. All the different apps and subscriptions you have to have to watch the games! And 2. The refs!

In all sports the game is best when you don't even notice the ref. If you're always expecting a flag on every big play it completely ruins the enjoyment of the game.

#90 absolutely killed the Commanders on Sunday with the three worst calls I may have ever seen in all my 60 years of watching football. And in the most critical of times. It makes watching the game no fun when you see such incompetence or deceit and I don’t know how much more I’m willing to pay for.

It's gambling, it's all the new rules to protect players from concussions, and all the ridiculous "what is a catch?" stuff. THE BALL IS ALLOWED TO MOVE ON A CATCH, JUST BECAUSE YOU BOBBLE IT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS NOT A CATCH!!!

This crisis is not really about the average ref calling too many penalties in general, but it is about certain crews of refs who are targeting certain teams to make sure that they cannot win.

When it comes out that nfl refs are being paid by sports books to fix games no one will be surprised.

@ThreeEyedRedskin 1 day ago

Shawn Hochuli does that. I have receipts of telling my buddies during the cowboys game saying that Hochuli will start throwing some flags against Dallas once the game was out of hand, just to make the numbers look even. That game was 5 penalties a piece.

Coaches should be able to use their two challenge flags on ANY play, even if a penalty wasn’t called or if it was. ANY play should be fair game to challenge

I thought it was Warren Sapp😂

@stevegullins9479 1 day ago

The NFL has to have a review on calls on the field, from New York, and overturn the referees calling the game, the coaches need to be able to challenge all calls, the Commanders have had a touchdown called back in every game this season so far, that is clearly a problem.

@michaelrobertson7397 22 hours ago

During the Washington games this season, especially the games against Dallas and the Colts, the commentators mentioned over and over again how the calls against Washington were totally incorrect.

@magicred21 22 hours ago

Don’t forget about the no calls on the false starts. That drive in the 4Qtr where Jonathan Taylor score the L guard jumped a tick early on every play not to mention when they tried to make the def jump the center flinched at the cadence before the timeout but again a no call.

Great stuff Kevin!!! Thanks for posting on YouTube

They should just replace the refs with Flock cameras

Damn Gambling...plain and simple....so NO ..IT WILL NOT GET BETTER

I have been watching certain ref crews cheat for certain teams for the past 55 years. Sunday morning was the most blatant example of cheating by the refs. This ref team needs to learn from the Hoculi team to be more subtle if they want to continue to be determining who wins.
