For those who think the REFS rig the game

NFL has been getting heavier and heavier into gambling business under Goodell.  It’s a billion dollar business and the house always wins.  When the house wins, NFL wins.  I’m just surprised there is no independent government review board for all that business.  NBA, NFL and etc are all got very fishy over the last decade with almost obvious game fixing by the refs.

The ref said the flag thrown was not for this bit for taunting  prior to it 

the taunting call was questionable 

The taunitng call was VERY questionable.  It was just bad.  BUT, it  sure looked like the ref went out of his way to try to make the guy look even worse...before he threw the questionable flag.  

games like that are way people think football is fixed.  That wasn't the only horrible call that crew made to help the Steelers keep their MNF record intact.

Nah, that guy was doing the most. Spinning wheel kick, then taunting the punter, that was just the icing on the cake. 

People have been cut for less

 

Every defensive player has a celebration they do after a big play. 

See: Brian Burns Spider-Man pose. The wheel kick was no different. 

He didn't taunt the punter. He looked in the direction of the Steelers bench. He didn't say a word. If you watched the whole game, there was definitely some homebrew going on. They made questionable calls and no-calls in favor of the Steelers all night. It reminded me of SB50. The Steelers defense were hitting Fields late constantly. At one point, they did it three plays in a row. However, Ben barely gets touched and it draws a flag. 

The taunting call was bullshit and pre-determined by the ref. Refs shouldn't be able to determine the outcomes of games. There shouldn't be a penalty so subjective that the ref can call it literally any time they want.

Yeah the defenses get together and celebrate after turnovers. This game was awful… The nonexistent holding call that turned over a TD to Graham, the awful roughing the passer that wasn’t called on Fields. I’m afraid Fields is going to get the Cam treatment for roughing the passer…

He already is. Remember when the ref told Cam he wasn't old enough to get those calls. Just absolutely shameful. I'm glad that announcers are more open on calling out the bullshit nowadays. They were letting the refs have it most of the night for calling a one-sided game.

Lol if you think the politicians don't get a piece of the pie too.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
