    This officiating bullshit every week is getting very suspicious. Here is my super conspiracy theory...... Roger and Jimmy have a secret plan to move the team. To do so requires completely alienating the fan base until they no longer care.

    You might be right. That's exactly what happened the first time. The fans were pissed off because they hated Belichik...chanting "Jump Art", as he watched from his loge. He created a situation to support his desire to leave, and the NFL bought it.

  • I never saw the Redskin player with the ball. Sarah the Idiot didn't have a clue what happened, and she thought Redskins had the ball, but they didn't. Their guy wasn't down with the ball. How else did Duke just gently pluck the ball off the ground? She blew it, it was awful, and we're the Browns. It won't change any time soon.

  • If anyone has every played football in this group, you know that the ball will change possession several times at the bottom of that pile. That should have been Browns ball. The refs didn't even know who had it. You could see only one ref make the call for the possession change who was still at the pile before even seeing who had the ball which the ball has literally walked away with the person that had recovered it.

    I'm not one to blame others for mistakes, those are on the player themselves. But something is extremely weird this year with the refs controlling the games. Is there anyone that following other teams that see this type of blatant error in officiating?

  • Bottom line: The officiating in the NFL is as bad as it has ever been.....and that apparently includes the replay officials who can't detect something that is obvious to the rest of humanity.

    You know how to avoid bad calls?

    Hold on to the fucking ball.

    If you don't fumble it in the first place, then there's no need to depend on a review.

    Was she the ref that made the bogus PI calls too? If so, back to ref school with you!!! NFL won't do anything though we're on a gender diversity kick.

  • So Brown's loss is now the feminist fault ?

  • It's like blaming the NFL for making the 'stupid rule' in the first place, after a QB throws a pick....... Retarded at its best.

    I honestly don't know. She was a line judge, so in theory she could've thrown it, but I honestly don't know. That penalty was such effing garbage...I couldn't believe it. First of all, the ball wasn't catchable. Second of all, the play where Norman intercepted the ball had WAY MORE contact than that crap.

    So angry.

  • NFL writers really giving it NFL over the fumble call. Good.

  • Horrid officiating on this, and the 2 PI's!

  • Officiating this year has been putrid. Embarrassing for the league really. College games have been so much better to watch this yearcause the officials actually let the game be a game

    Again, make it easy on your cardiologist. Stop the video at 05. The put your pointer on the little time elapse ball and slowly scroll forward. The skins player clearly must have had the ball, because duke pulled at the guys right arm, you can see the guys arm get yanked out like a chicken wing. Duke was not on to of the ball and the ground, he was on top of the skins player.

    This was an excellent call.

    I'm glad you saw it...Sarah sure as hell didn't.

  • Ok Ghoolie, what is the excuse on the 2 pi calls? Never mind go back to a Steeler board or wherever it is you go when you are not on here

  • Don't forget the hit to the head that Kessler took as well.

    Woof Woof!

  • EXACTLY! I forgot about that

  • Even more so, On the first TD run none of the refs even wanted to raise their arms. Every time the Skins score every ref out there had their arms up

  • I'm not going to blame the refs for this one. This one was on us. We have to secure away the football, we have to EXPECT that ANYTIME the ball is not under center that the Defense is going to be raking at it and trying to pry it out of our cold dead hands.

  • Of course it is our own fault. We should have played better and not have given the refs the ability to dictate the game for us. That being said, those were some fucked up bs calls if I ever saw them. Its kinda funny that one of those wearing the stripes looked like that same cock-sucker who started bottle-gate.

    I think its as simple as we got our team back, and that's it. Don't expect any more from the NFL.

    Browns are still the only team to run a play, then have a prior one reviewed. Still the only team to get penalized for removing a helmet.

    Ratbird Steve Smith taunts after every play, our guy fets penalized for flipping a ball.

    It never ends. The Browns are guilty of botching draft picks, firing too many people, and playing/coaching like crap for sure....but this team doesn't deserve this officiating crap.
