Ima start a gofundme to get the refs some glasses.

[@Seahawks3fan3fan883]

Please do I will donate

[@ERBlover]

Good idea lmao

[@Todogames-sm5hm]

Fr

[@mr.lucaln7097]

They need way more than glasses

[@emidroberts3560]

Oh, please do. I will donate my whole life savings.

[@bryceb9999]

The fact that they found 30 of these says a lot about this season

[@falconsnake3124]

And I could think of 30 more smh, let’s go back to the fail Mary refs they might be better

[@brianmagzanian6718]

Came here to say that

[@Colts_Pacers15]

You could find hundreds of them 💀

[@zackeye7328]

You could literally make a whole video on roughing the passer no calls (that where blatantly obvious) that Justin Fields should’ve gotten

[@BobbyBarnacles]

I came in here just to say that.

[@MrFinster53]

i was waiting to see where they had the no calls on fields on this list. not a single flag was thrown for him all year. and one guy literally punched him in the helmet

[@gedhoughton9523]

How did you narrow it down to just 30?? Should be 3 hours long

[@Spartan5984]

The justin fields no calls all throughout the season were mental

[@johnstronz4672]

Josh Allen had more calls for roughing the passer by week 5 than Fields has had in his career

[@Bigbrownsfan1]

I was at the browns game when they called Amari cooper out of bounds the crowd was livid

[@maxweng8267]

I'm suprised Jawaan Taylor is not on this list. He had so many false starts in the season opener against Detroit. Every play he is either holding someone, or trying to get an extra step back so he can prepare to block.

[@whawhawha5828]

2023 the worst year overall for the NFL. Bad coaching, bad playing, bad reffing. Even the clock guys aren't stopping the clock when it should be stopped. The NFL is an elephant on stilts.

[@griffinholahan123]

Don't forget many injuries to QB's and star players too.

[@michaelgerhardt7130]

You forgot KC chiefs vs Minnesota Vikings when the chief took off his helmet to argue and instead of flagging him they said to put his helmet back on

[@AndrodWorldMedia]

What ever happened to the Replay Assistance Rule during games that was supposed allow refs in the booth to instantly correctly referee mistakes on the field???

[@blacksheep_edge1412]

Thin black line. Refs helping refs steal games.

[@ExplorationB68]

Mahomes had a lot of intentional grounding that didn't get called

[@richclinesmith9461]

Are you including the passes to Kadarius Toney when there was no RECEIVER in the area????

[@ExplorationB68]

@@richclinesmith9461 I mean we can add those too lol

[@zamboughnuts]

Allen also had two of the worst intentional grounding calls I've seen. One he was out of the pocket and his receiver blew the route (vs. Bengals) so instead of running a go, he ran a curl. The other was the same play against the Eagles where they didn't call horse collar, he threw the ball into the ground 6' away from a receiver, and they called grounding.

[@ExplorationB68]

@@zamboughnuts 2 out of Mahomes 50 don't get me wrong Allen did get away with it in the Bengals game but every QB gets away with it especially Mahomes

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

I would not have wanted to be that ref who made that call on the Lions. If I saw Dan Campbell coming my way, I’d be running the other way

[@jenl.9980]

The player in today's game checked in as eligible like 6 times. 😂. Who can blame him?

[@wordelo]

when ravens QB was tripped by a ref in their own endzone and threw the ball away as he was going down called intentional grounding and resulted in a safety.

[@MrRay-md4vg]

The Ravens won that game, so it doesn't matter

[@Earthb0undMV]

The fact that Fields did not get a single rtp or unnecessary roughness penalty all season speaks volumes

[@Twhite79]

James Bradbury blantinly grabbing Cedric Wilson's face mask and not being called has always baffled me.

[@spidamitchell8311]

Exactly It’s not a holding but an obvious call.

[@NY_Mapper]

This is why we need a way to challenge calls like this. Similiar to a challenge flag, but the challenge gets presented to the league in New York to a set of unbiased eyes.

[@coreygrassmid]

The Parsons interview is funny given how frequently Dallas gets GIVEN games by bad refs

[@juicymoosey545]

“i’m blind, i’m deaf! i wanna be a ref”💀

[@atrapp27]

Anyone get the feeling that all these ref's daughters are saying "Daddy, If Taylor Swifts team doesn't get to win the super ring, I'm going to be mad at you for ever!!"

[@AJStewart23]

the fact that they had 30 bad calls and none of them were the intentional grounding call against the bengals in week 17 is crazy. this list could have gone on for 500 bad calls😆

[@zamboughnuts]

Or the intentional grounding penalty on the same play they didn't call the horse collar.

[@MultiSkins4life]

Only 30?! You’re being too generous

[@Eddieavina123]

Love your video TPS and keep up the great work

[@coby1818]

the defensive delay of game was the one that got me 😂

[@paradiseproductions1313]

The blindside block from behind by the bills lineman on Joey Porter should have been on here when he was making a tackle but there was just so many bad calls this season so I can see why it wasn’t on here

[@zen4realfightman426]

I am part of the people that believe that the refs are not actually blind, but they are being bribed to make sure that certain teams win certain games by any means necessary.

[@user-qe7fx3es1m]

It isn’t bad officiating, it’s scripted, there’s a huge difference

[@williambozek5458]

The refs missing calls video is gonna be full of late hits on Justin Fields cus they never call a penalty when Fields gets hit late or hit when he slides

[@adrianpilcher703]

Refs getting Packers 4th down ball spot so wrong, they tried to place it in Nevada.

[@SauceCodes.]

Tbh, I don't think I've ever seen the refs throwing call a rough the call on opposing defensive players that hit Justin FIelds. Is he the first ever QB in NFL where he was never called for roughing the passer?

[@BrandonKnowsNothingAboutSports]

Literally any call from the first Giants Eagles game could be on this list. There was bogus defensive delay of game and false start for a center nodding (which he does on every play) and a third example of egregious no call PI on a Hail Mary just to name a few

[@Kuppprodz]

That horrible spot in the rams Steelers game and the questionable call on ankhello Witherspoon

[@ninetailedfox579121]

6:47 Not only did they miss the horse collar, they called Josh Allen for intentional grounding on that very play for throwing the ball literally at the feet of Gabe Davis.

[@mdcecichannel4366]

total bs

[@daevydjae]

Re: the last one, I watched the breakdown of that play on JomBoy, and an argument can be made that the ref wasn't looking at the first guy who called eligible, but the second guy running on the field. That's the only plausible explanation for that screw up.

[@stephennelson7031]

Every time I hear about the refs this year, I picture the refs on the field with blink people glasses and seeing sticks. Just wondering the field 😂

[@Ivashanko]

There are a few others affecting the Lions that I'm surprised didn't make the list. In the first Green Bay game, the clock ran out on the 3rd quarter yet the referees didn't blow the call dead. In the second, they called what was clearly a forward pass a fumble. In the Raiders' game, a goal line non-fumble was called a fumble. And, of course, there was the Chief's game, where even the commentators were mocking the refs for their blown calls.

[@michaelreed6858]

The offsides on Jack Jones perfect jump that led to a retry on a fg that gave the Raiders the loss….

[@rayvenge8065]

what about the kyler gorden helmet stuff

[@brookss2141]

Everyone thinks the refs are out to screw their team, or they are fixing the game. The truth is they are just really bad at their jobs, and there is hardly any repercussions for it.

[@minecrafteee8835]

dude if there’s one of these calls or non calls in the divisional or championship games or the Super Bowl and you just know it’s gonna happen ima be so pissed

[@addarryllcrawford62375]

8:43 Good question... I don't believe he was discussing the latest fried turkey wing recipes he found on Instagram. 🤔 Not enough time in that transaction. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@FootballCentro]

What they don't say about 5:10 is that it was 4th and 3 in OT and COMPLETELY cost us the game

[@patrickkanas3874]

Hot take here, but the Justin Fields one was not a bad call. That hit from Owens was unavoidable and clean and should not have been flagged. If quarterbacks don't wanna get hit when running the ball, they shouldn't wait until the defender is less than a yard away to slide. When Aaron Rodgers ran the ball, he'd ways slide when the defenders were far enough away to avoid him because he knew a hit was coming and decided that a concussion wasn't worth the extra two yards he could've gotten

[@Kirk1914]

Imagine, blown calls and betting. Go together like M & M lol

[@rockymountainyanks1785]

I think the defensive pi no call on courtland Sutton on that 2 pt conversion after the Hail Mary against the commanders should have been on here

[@Bigbubbaj04]

Where was Damonte Kazee's "targeting" hit on Micheal Pittman

[@bentleybowell4359]

The week 2 two point conversion to end the game in the broncos commanders game. You should make a part two of another 30

[@Caddeus]

That's a good one. I forgot about that. Could EASILY be on the list.

[@ivanjursdotter]

This video is be renamed "How to fix games for the NFL commissioners/rich"

[@shawnchristenson324]

You could have found close to 30 calls/no calls in the Dolphins vs Eagles game alone. That whole game was filled with BS calls on Miami and no calls on the Eagles to the tune of 10 penalties on Miami and 0 on the Eagles, this is the first time in history that a team was flagged with double digit penalties while the opposition had ZERO.

[@charleshills1408]

In the Cowboys-Lions game, you could also have gone with the phantom tripping call on Dallas (it was actually a Lion who did it).

[@DrewDixon-jb9od]

I was looking for this comment

[@ydevi14]

Ravens O-line has been holding tremendous all season

[@thomaskeane5723]

You left out Kazee's legitimate hit that got him suspended for the remainder of the regular season against the Colts.

[@jenl.9980]

That suspension was bull 💩.

[@Scott_Dunbar_II]

You can honestly do an entire video about the bad officiating for the week 8 Pats at Dolphins game. Its like the zebras saw the terrible officiating in the Eagles game the week before and decided that the phins deaerved a make-up game. Pretty much 0 penalties/missed calls went the Pats way that day.

[@shawnchristenson324]

No way, Miami didn't have a single game where they had ZERO penalties, and after the Eagles game that Miami played they kind of did deserve something from the refs since the ones in Philly were horrible. Also one of them was from just outside Philly, so how the fuck can a ref that grew up within 40 miles of the home team actually be a ref for them, TOTAL BS.

[@camaronshoultz6137]

Yes the chiefs have never benefited from controversial or missed calls have they?! Ask the Bengals about that

[@08Chargers1]

What?! Mahomes was never lucky enough to 3 and out, but have drives extended on bad calls multiple time in the same drive to win the game?! 🤔🤣

[@Beast-yp2ei]

Every good pash rusher should be on this list for being held so much

[@ncnuggets]

I thought 29 would be from the Bills-Eagles game.

[@sodog44]

PJ Walker "not" fumbling against the 49ers was a bad night call.

[@CheezinCow]

Vidoe idea: 1 year wonders in the 10 years?

[@mr.lucaln7097]

Your forgetting Kenny pickets 2 yard gain on a 1 yard lose qb sneak

[@AKANicoYT]

I’m so glad they mentioned the colts vs browns game because no one is talking about even though it would have changed a lot of afc playoff picture.

[@richardryan9496]

I am not a Colts fan at all, and I was PISSED watching the end of that game. Legit just handed Browns the game. Made me sick and almost wanted to stop watching the NFL

[@johndishman1645]

These are perfect examples of why I keep saying that the NFL NEEDS A TMO!!!

[@davidparkes1917]

The 'intentional grounding' call on the Bengals late on against the Chiefs. Ohhh, and the clear offside call in the same game against the Chiefs that wasn't given. Refs clearly wanted the Chiefs to win that one 🙄

[@richardryan9496]

They want Swift at the SB, imagine the money they'll make overtop of what they already make b/c all the Swiftys >.>

[@08Chargers1]

If you look in recent years, there seems to be a buyist on the big star teams. (Tom Brady's Patriots, Tom Brady's Buccs, Patrick Mahomes Chiefs) They seem to forget that those teams also do plays that should draw flags, but since those teams bring ratings, we need to make them look good by winning.

[@animeboi1115]

Hey the first one wasn’t a DPI because it was scantling so it was uncatchable

[@joshsortega]

If this were a playoff list, put the lions holding and rtp in the rams game. Or lots of penalties for and against both sides in that game. It’s getting bad.

[@bloodyax8070]

5:35 This Hail Mary is a good no-call, both teams pushed each other down. Evans pushed multiple players down while the Bills were also holding. They don't call this because they would just keep redoing them with offsetting penalties

[@zamboughnuts]

Yeah, that's why they don't call DPI on hail mary passes, because there's also usually a solid amount of OPI. Even the Bills/Giants game, the Giants receiver pushed off of Johnson on the last play, catching him right in the facemask.

[@johnstronz4672]

You could do a video called "30 Times Fields Was Hit Late With No Flag"

[@michaelfloridaorlando1790]

Here’s something u forgot to add: Facemask on Jordan Addison leads to Unsportsmanlike conduct for Minnesota?

[@Bostonsportsfan30]

4:55 this call saved my fantasy season! If it was called correctly I would’ve lost

[@paulcgretired6245]

You just encapsulated the NFL. It is almost appropriate they are having the SB in Vegas!

[@thescorpiondroid_]

Y’all remember when that lawyer who outed the nfl for being allowed to rig games got shot the day after he said that

[@christopherbarrier3961]

My favorite thing is you see the chiefs more than anyone getting calls their way and nobody’s in the NFL questioning this? and the NFL wonders why nobody wants to see them in the playoffs or superbowl

[@ztn195]

The Garnder on MVS in a good play you can clearly see the official pulling his flag out before the ball is intercepted.

[@anthonymanzano-lee4881]

Oh these calls!where did I even start?🙄

[@FosterMcTeague]

The absolute lack of anything even loosely resembling consistency in reffing is killing the NFL. I'm not alone in blaming the third team in every game as the reason why I stopped watching games halfway through the season. How did the "I'm talking to America" BS grounding flag not make the list?

[@kevind3619]

The refs have been a headache to us this year.

[@grantharriman284]

The existence of Defensive Delay of Game as a rule makes no sense. They can do whatever they feel like, the offense has to ignore it. It's really that simple.

[@pandaborg2466]

The first Hail Mary I’m fine with them not calling but that second one was atrocious

[@jimmymcfly9822]

Oh please. The Gotsis sack was no more “roughing” than the hit on Mac earlier in the video. Pickett is just a smaller guy so it looked a bit more brutal.

[@aboredgeek7127]

There were at least 30 bad calls in the opening game of the year with Chiefs vs Lions.

[@craigw.miller9820]

It would be helpful if the major sports leagues NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. would make public their "points of emphasis" that they give to the officials in their pre-season meetings so we know what they are looking for.

[@08Chargers1]

What would be helpful is who the NFL makes the SuperBowl winner anouncement in the preseason. That way, we can stop questionning bad calls and go: "Oh ok. That's how this team will win the SuperBowl"

[@faruqmunif1307]

There are no consistency/accountability at all is what making all of these happened

[@FlyingEagleTV]

Good ol Brad Allen🤣🤣

[@Cowboysfan8811-xt6bn]

“Refs I mean cowboys” someone mad 😂

[@zigzag321go]

Not even counting the fact that Decker REPORTED AS ELIGIBLE, the fact that the call overturned a fat guy 2pt is a crime against humanity.

[@kaloeaa]

Did they get the ones where @ cowboys they picked up like 5 flags lmao so funny

[@Tadicuslegion78]

At this point I trust the computer in Madden over the "professionals" the NFL hires to ref games.

[@real_kerbzYT]

6:50 It was so obviously a horse collar tackle. Allen even went of to the ref to show his jersey was ripped.

[@JasonVaysberg]

Where’s the Danielle Hunter one where he gets flagged as his helmet is getting pulled off? That’s the worst one I have ever seen by far.

[@parkerstauffer8199]

Everyone acting like the lions call was so bad but if the refs made the right call the rest of the game it wouldn’t have been in that senario

[@chandlerball4614]

The only teams the refs love more than the AFC north teams are the Chiefs and Cowboys lol. Refs straight up ruined so many games this year.

[@Noodle_7607]

If u breathe on mahomes they will throw a million flags but Justin fields can get absolutely trucked while sliding and thats okay

[@gemini3738]

Forgot geno Smith intentional grounding call because his receiver ran the wrong route

[@zamboughnuts]

Allen had one of those this year too... Mahomes seems to never have that issue even when there wasn't a receiver running a route anywhere near.

Every single time Geno gets sacked, it's like he loses his mind and does the most random shit.

[@gregoryeusanio2720]

Oh yes. I could add on Eagles/Bills. 11-1 penalty differential benefiting Phili in the 1st half. Good ol Shawn Hochuli

[@riccochet704]

The Reddick horse collar wasn't called because it wasn't a horse collar. He dragged him down from the front of his jersey which is legal, not the back like Hurts did to Adoree Jackson.

[@stefanjentoft8107]

Even as a fan of a division rival (Vikings), I still 10,000% agree that #1 deserves to be #1

[@OGB699]

You guys are all conveniently ignoring the Mahomes helmet game… very fishy… Can someone explain to me, how Patrick Mahomes has a helmet to helmet collision in the Dolphins playoff game crushing his helmet to pieces, and not only did the refs not force the Chiefs to call a timeout for equipment repair, but they ignore concussion protocol and he’s not even removed to the tent to check for head injury or concussion? Are the rules in the Playoffs different, or are they just different for Mahomes and the Chiefs? What a load of crap this is…

[@08Chargers1]

Well now, the Chiefs carry all the ratings, so removing Mahomes is bad for business. They have everything, Taylor Swift (and the Swifties), Mahomes, and the old coach. Sounds familiar?! (Brady, Gisele and Belicheck, which now the Chiefs are getting that Patriots treatment)

[@OGB699]

@@08Chargers1 Sadly you’re absolutely right! NBA let me down with ignoring the rules, MLB let me down with the constant changes of the baseball and turning the blind eye to the misuse of steroids, now football with it’s hypocrisy on tackling, taunting and officiating. I guess I’ll go back to hockey…

[@AJStewart23]

wait so your telling me that all the calls and non calls weren't top 30's

You missed where 2 rams defenders were offside and Taylor decker got the false start flag.
