How was this forward progress?

True I personally don’t understand the idea behind “yeah we know but that’s not reviewable and therefore not fixable” it’s a tad illogical 

I get making stoppage of forward progress non-reviewable since it's basically a judgement call with no concrete evidence to point to in a review situation. But that's also why refs are generally pretty slow to blow that whistle. In this case, there was no whistle until after the play was over and the ball carrier was on the ground. It was only then that they determined after the fact that forward progress had been stopped. That cannot happen. I mean, that should be a fireable offense level error by a ref.

Dear NFL, if you want to stop losing fans, ACTION needs to be taken against repeat offending terrible referees.  Im sorry, EVERY fuging WEEK a game gets decided by these fuging morons.  Want to know why people think the NFL is rigged, because THEY dont do poo.  they'll give a half assed "we made a mistake" this week, meanwhile that knuckle dragging fuging neanderthal Boger will trot his alien lookin ass out next week to nuke another game.

I’m not sure why Jerome Boger is still allowed to officiate. 

Me neither. He's complete trash as a ref. He might be a great guy for all I know and he might know the rules forwards and backwards off the field, but he should not be reffing NFL football games. Virtually every game I watch that he's calling features some straight up gaffes by the ref crew.

No point even getting worked up about it. If the league did nothing when Denver was trying to turn our quarterbacks brains into mush with headhunting they aren't going to give a poo about getting calls right in our favor. We need to stop wasting drives and this game could have been much closer.

I personally think on field refs need to be only in addition to slow motion multi angle camera crews of officials, they should give input but those calls should be made by people who have a better view

This is the damn truth. In the season when blows to the head of the QB were initially being emphasized and the mere brush of a QB's helmet became a penalty, the NFL let the league's MVP's head get treated like a piñata on the biggest stage in sports. I'll never forget it or forgive it.

That was one of the strangest officiating calls I've seen. It's as if they applied a two-hand touch rule to determine when the play is dead.

Meanwhile in another play, DJ Moore's forward progress had stopped and a defender had him wrapped up at the ankles/knees, but refs continue that play as more people pile in on him and twist him up.

Nah. There is literally no way any sensible person could have seen that as forward progress. And I was at the game. Even Dallas fans around me agreed.

Besides they called it forward progress after the fact. No whistle blew.

Panther fans around me kept calling for it on the big screen. They refused to show it.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
