Instead of fining the players, why don’t they fine the referees who keep missing these blatantly obvious calls that affect games.
to pretend to care about player safety and keep it a family friendly product (obscene gestures/words), lol.
The NFL has about run its course with me. The fix is in. THE Chiefs will once again vie for the title although they look like crap, and continue to win ugly. What a joke.
Fine the refs!!!
A missed penalty that could have totally changed the outcome of that game! Fined the player after the game? WTF! Should have been an automatic 1st down!
Yes 33 k from atm on way to stadium.
Dirty birds got the dub. Well worth the pocket change.
Seriously tho, doesn’t issuing these fines basically admit that the refs screwed it up royally? I know it’s not like they’re going to overturn the result or anything like that, but it would be nice if the NFL would at least come out with a statement saying “yeah, the refs got that one wrong, and it screwed you over” instead of just glossing over the whole thing. It’s not like it’s just been the Bengals this year that have been hosed by a bad ref call/no call, it’s something the league needs to address.
So the NFL clears it’s name of any wrong doing, of course it’s bullshit though
Fine the refs instead.
They raise money for cte treatment
Kinda just rubs salt in the wounds
How do you manipulate the outcome of a game to suit the NFLs narrative? Make calls that that only benefit one team, and “miss” calls intentionally to prevent a fair game. Then, to cover it up, react like the penalties actually did happen after the games outcome has been determined by the officials by using fines to save face, because fines show you aren’t really blind and care. You can fine players, officials, or hire better officials, but the narrative must and will continue regardless, because once the game is called, no amount of fines or otherwise will change who lost and who the NFL decided to win.
They exist to create the optics that the NFL gives a shit.
I mean the fines go to a charity like purpose so it’s not useless, and it will count against the refs likely because efficiency and good calls lead to their postseason existence
Here is an idea I had (this would only apply to close games only)
If an external review finds that horrible officiating is the main cause of a teams loss, then the team that got fucked over gets the win.
Exhibit A: Bengals vs Chiefs where a missed holding call that would have negated the PI costed us the game.
Exhibit B: Ignored facemask during the Vikings vs. Rams game (you could also argue that the vikings wouldn’t have won that game anyway)
Exhibit C: the second Bengals vs. Ravens game where there were 3 missed face masks on one play (again, you could argue that the Bengals might have still lossed with their shit defense letting the Ravens get into field goal range)
Exhibit D: One or two seasons ago when the Giants and Commanders were playing and a missed defensive PI costed the Giants(I think at least might have been the other way around) the game.
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Obviously, that would get very complicated come the playoffs, but at least for the regular season, I think that would overall be a net benefit.
What do you all think?
So they fine the players which means they admit these fouls happen, but do nothing about when it actually matters. Because the league is rigged.
I fucking hate refs, fine them!!
Keeps NFL agenda (pushing the teams they want) while holding dirty players accountable and making more $$$
That helps no one. Fine the referees for missed calls.
Would it have mattered. Even if they did call every one of those penalties. We all know the refs would just assess them on the ensuing kick-off.
Not sure if anyone was watching Raiders vs Dolphins earlier but the refs missed an obvious face mask so they got together and threw a flag a full 30 seconds later to correct it. Why can’t we get that treatment?
