1. "I'm all about old school, rip the head off the QB type of football", says the career backup. 😂😂😂

2. Sam is smart not to say anything.He is only making 10 million this year,no need to get fined.

3. 1. Without a doubt the refs can change outcomes.
   2. It is impossible for a person to grow up in America and become an NFL official without any influence for or against certain teams.

4. kinda seems like the more people complain about it the worse it gets

5. When he picked up the flag there's no arguing it's rigged. NFL is so corrupt.

6. Inconsistency????Hahahaha…Games are fixed…Have been for years…

7. why would anyone bet on an NFL game it's All Star Wrestling.

8. The Vikings consistently end up on the bad end of calls.

9. Who would have thought an association with gambling would have bad consequences?
   I did and I don't gamble at all

10. That's 2 games in a row that Darnold gets clocked in the head and no penalty! But the Vikings shut out the Colts offense anyway. But this issue has to be fixed NOW!

11. You guys are wrong. It is consistent but the QB penalties are dependent on what tier the QB is. QB name is a huge factor in determining if penalty should be called. In the eys of NFL & officials, Darnold doesn't deserve those kind of flags because he's not a legit franchise QB.

12. It's a big club and Sam ain't in it!

13. it's not that Football is rigged, it's that it isn't a pure sport. I mean, the rulebook is WAY too large and too open to interpretation. Way too subjective, way too much ref influence.

14. that replay was awesome

15. NFL refs are pathetic.

16. Why is all of this making me think of coffee?

17. I'd love to see PFF grades for officiating teams

18. Problem with REFs and calls? Can you say Gambling? What sport has gambling not destroyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

19. I thought scoring plays are reviewed?boh we’re scoring plays a safety and a defensive score?should still be able to be reviewed

20. The Salute to Service line is usually my favorite, love this year's white camo, but I'd stain it too quick to spend that kinda money

21. I agree, let them play football, the QB should be treated like every other player

22. It's made even worse knowing it's the same ref crew that blatantly missed the calls 2 weeks in a row. (Not to mention the sam ref crew that took away 2 fumble recovery tds in the colts vikings game a few years ago)

23. lol is this guy drunk agin on air?

24. Football is as real as pro wrestling anymore. Hard to watch.

25. the backwards flag on mike s sweatshirt means he s been in battle. Havent we all?

26. At this point there is no doubt it is fixed.

27. It’s because the night games are past the refs bedtime.

28. The biggest sport industry that makes the most money but DONT HAVE FULL TIME OFFICIALS!!!!

29. You say you think it's not rigged; yet, you think someone "got in his ear" to say, pick up that flag.
    Is that not rigging the game?
    You contradict yourself. 😉

30. How much influence does the betting line have on the officiating teams?????

31. All td are reviewed and even if they didn’t throw a flag they could have all called one after review

32. What percentage off people still believe that the NFL is real
