I’ll take the Chiefs to vent their frustration on the Pats this week, although, for the record, I agree with @mclaincausey.

Colts over Squeelers!

@mclaincausey said in American Football (NFL):

He was offsides. End of story. If it becomes about whether it impacted the play instead of being one of the few calls that requires no judgment then we are on a slippery slope to chaos. The line judges have a very good view and they should absolutely make that call, probably more often.

Where they “let em play” is more about judgment calls like holding and pass interference but when it’s as straightforward as an offsides call I say just call the foul when you see it.

I,100%,agree with you,but the problem comes when we as fans,don’t agree with or like the judgement used by the official. This gets talked about on every broadcast,and they even have ex-refs chiming in on wether or not the ref got it right. Something that kind of surprised me was that Andy Reid thought that he had the kind of relationship with the officials,where the official would warn him,so he could warn the player of an impending penalty. He was miffed that he didn’t get the warning this time. I guess that official won’t be getting a Christmas present. Do the officials give all the coaches warnings of impending fouls,or just the ones they like?

@Jett129 , I'll pick the Rams to headbutt the Commanders...

@Jett129 I agree with your point. I don’t think there should be arbitrary times an officiant gives warnings or not. If it’s a penalty it should be called. No warnings, no heads up that a player is pushing the boundaries etc. if there’s a penalty, it should be called consistently.

[Jett129]

Thought this was interesting.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yes absofuckinglutely

[mclaincausey]

I don’t understand how he lined offsides. They check every play to make sure they’re on the line of scrimmage for a legal formation. Dumb error and deserved a penalty.

[mclaincausey]

@Jett129 I’m pretty sure that dude can afford sleeves. Act like you’re on TV

[IrishHeart]

@Jett129 great summary. Last time I ever jinx the Pack by picking them. That’ll be me out for the season.

Good luck to everyone still in the competition.

[Matt]

I’m terrible at this.

[october rust]

I’ll play it safe this week(hopefully), and go Niners over Cardinals.

[Jett129]

I think at this point we all agree that Kadarius Toney was offsides and that the flag should’ve been thrown,but apparently he was offsides several other times,with No flag being thrown.Nor was he ever warned. They could’ve easily thrown the flag 4-5 times earlier. Oh Well.

@Jett129 ugh. Yeah the consistency in officiating is awful. This gives me a better understanding of why Reid and Mahomes were so upset.

[Jett129]

@SKT There’s some chatter about the fact that Mahomes could be suspended for 3 games for his outburst. Hope that doesn’t happen.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah the inconsistency is a huge issue. Offsides is probably the most objective call in the game. Make the call. It’s not hard.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 hmm. I selfishly feel the opposite.

But in all honesty, there should never be a sometimes call it sometimes don’t take on penalties. Seems perfectly obvious.

This type of inconsistency might be the worst thing for the game in this modern NFL.

[Oaktavia]

If his arrogant ass got suspended that would be hilarious hahahaha.

Would be even more hilarious if he got back in time to beat The Ravens in the playoffs! Ouch!
