These roughing the passer penalties are ridiculous

I don’t watch the NBA either. It’s a bunch of whiny, overpaid primadonnas that only shoot 3’s or dunk.
The game is nothing like it was in the 80’s and 90’s when I used to be interested in it

Isn't worth wasting any time except maybe the last 4-5 minutes of any game, playoffs included. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.?

The last 4-5 minutes take about 45-60 minutes to play. ?

I only ask for consistency and from crew to crew it isn’t there and to make it worse- same crew same game can be wildly inconsistent.

Dam sure feels like it, especially when the Browns are barely ahead.

The highest paid combo a player can have...

Not sure about the whiny... tho.

LBJ don't whine... he leads. Guy is still amazing at his age, but if Tonal is his preferred workout equipment, then I'll eat his sweaty jock. (Feel safe here as he owns a big chunk of Tonal.)

Similarly, Chuck Norris doesn't actually use a Total Gym

Another roughing the passer call, that the NBC ref announcer said was BS

This has to be reviewable at this point

How long before the QB wears a Red jersey DURING THE GAME?

Just think back a few decades especially the 60s and 70s how much of a legal beating the quarterbacks and others took on all kinds of hits. Some like Kenny the snake Stabler gave him countless concussions that in his case preventied him to go to Canton for his HOF award. Many others were washed up in their 30s and never made it unlike today's 40 somethings.

Sometimes the flags seem (are?) too much but it is a necessary to keep everyone playing in today's game. That wasn't a guarantee just a few years ago if you remember with the concussion talk and the NFL admission and quick settlement of the CTE cases both settled and pending.

It's just a fact of football life at all levels now and is here to stay.

A Blow to a QB's HEAD or NECK..........

This call is so em-bare-ass-ing the whole crew needs fined.....The NFL Network won't show it or discuss it! !

Where was our ref blowing the whistles upstairs on us Sunday?

Watch only via Youtube .... It's 3rd & 3....hell I'll blow my whistle on this crap ? (pick-up at 15 seconds)

I think that we got screwed on Sheldon Day's tackle of Burrow. Sheldon made a lunge to tackle him. He has no idea if Burrow was actually going to throw it, pump fake, or pull it down. If the QB wants to be protected, tell them to get rid of the ball before the defender begins the tackling routine.

If he’s fined let’s take a collection…that was complete BS. Our response should be a Wheelbarrow of pennies dropped off at the league office.
