Finally! Official From Brown's Game Fired......
-
Bad calls. People seem to be extremely surprised that we have bad calls. Like this is something brand new.
There was a long pass in a superbowl by the Bears against the Patriots where the receiver (Dennis Gentry I think) didn't have EITHER foot in bounds....by a mile....and it was called complete.
The one that REALLY gets me is the Mayfield no-call on the hit to the head. That can't be just one guy's fault. There's a whole bunch of refs working the game. All the other refs allowed it to be announced that the QB is a runner and you can whack him in the head.
Sadly, the refs are human (apparently we need robots) and will make mistakes. There's Soooo many firggin' rules now.......and they're constantly changing them every offseason.

Ha- the bigger the game the bigger the miss. Remember one Super Bowl where one of the Patriots guards flat out tackled a guy when he was pulling- and no call.
Myles Garrett is right- he's probably getting held on every other play, with no call being made. I'll isolate on him Sunday.

Myles Garrett not only gets held, but gets regularly tackled by the neck when dipping under blockers. That occurred regularly in college also and was rarely called then too.

Officials are having a nightmare year.
Did you see the “contact to the head/neck area of long snapper” penalty against Houston last night? They barely touched Miami long snapper on a FG attempt.
The Baker play apparently had flags thrown for the hit and for Baker taunting after getting up after the hit. Which kinda cancelled themselves out either way. They gotta make targeting reviewable.
and watching it live speed, his slide was kinda “last minute” like the Joe Flacco slide when Kiki Alonso tee’d off on em’

I think the rules, replay, booth reviews everything are affecting that. The refs are unsteady.

For sure, it's obvious these guys have the yips based on the much appropriate back lash on how awful they've been this year. Heck last night a dude literally slide tackled into the kick returner and they didn't throw the flag. I don't feel bad for them one bit, you gotta do your job. The problem is the NFLRA is the definition of an old boys club and the are refusing to bend on the fact they are just awful as a unit.
There's always going to be the "close calls" in any ref based sport. Whether it's balls/strikes, charge/block, etc you can be annoyed as a fan but understand why it was called that way. In the NFL, I'd label that holding and pass interference. But hopefully the NFL wises up and moves to the baseball model for the future. This missed false start that got the guy fired should be able to be reviewed. The clearly not forward progress stopped should have been able to be reviewed. I know it may add time to the game, but this sport is a game where one play wins or loses for a team. This sort of thing HAS to be included or fans are going to tune out eventually.

Maybe the Browns have just been REALLY unlucky
Maybe the Browns have just been REALLY unlucky
I know it's not a tangible thing, but "luck" was one of my key factors to our season. I didn't use the word "luck", I think I used "Browns-ness", and we had to find a way to lose that nasty film that seemed to cover us. The unlucky, inexplicable, and downright awful things that happen to us. The reviewing of the spot in Oakland? Seriously? They knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Carlos was short of the first down because they triangulated his position using multiple camera angles?! Missing XP's and FG's in New Orleans. Getting 6 TO's in week 1 and not winning despite having a FG kick to win, BUT our best player committing the worst block in the back I've ever seen right before it. I mean, Jesus. And then getting the kick blocked. What about that pass interference call that wasn't made before half against Pitt? Gordon got completely MUGGED, and you absolutely KNOW that the refs are calling that against US 100% of the time. All the crap in Bucs game that I don't want to mention, and so on and so on. We simply had to find a way to rid ourselves of the "Browns-ness", and we haven't done that.
It's not too late to right the ship, but for a young team with questionable depth, it's going to get tougher. We had to win early because every team gets injuries, and there's just no way an 0-16 team can improve it's starting roster AND it's depth in one offseason. I'm a firm believer in making your own luck, but for whatever reason, our Browns don't have that recipe.

Flippin channels last night. Aikman was talking about several bad calls in last nights 1st half.

I saw most of that game, HOU and DeShone are coming around. It's in every game to some degree but CLE has had some awful W/L bad calls this year.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

Hopkins scored me 108 pts in my FFL. He only had one catch for 8 yds in the first half, but another 70 and two TD's the second. Plus he got robbed after a chicken fight with the DB. What a catch!!

Incredible catch, but to be fair to the refs that looked like OPI live action. It really was just more Hopkins being an incredible machine out there, but that's at least one where I can "let it go".

I saw most of that game if anyone had the daily double of Watson and Hopkins you did very well. DeShone is coming around....again.

I saw it all... and yes, the Texans have gotten very scary... especially on the O-side. And if the D gets healthy...
I had not known that O'Brien got a four-year extension.
