That botched instant replay review

I never got over that sack fumble from Ahmad Brooks on Drew Brees in 2013 that got flagged and nfl later on admit it was the wrong call when Brooks won his appeal. That game arguably would've won us the 1 seed that year…nfl is a joke.

It would have won us the 1 seed

It's so sad to see just how poor the officiating has become these days. Thankfully we won the game anyway.

I wouldn't call that poor officiating. The review process is what was flawed not the guys on the field. At least they admit that they blew it so maybe they will take measures to improve the process.

As a long time football fan I have to say that I don't think instant replay has helped the game. Yes it corrects some missed calls but it's also slowed the game down. Looking to see if the ball is moving as a receiver crosses the sideline is BS. When the officials made the calls and that was it the game moved quicker and was more enjoyable to watch. Even with the replays fans still argue if they got it right.

Deebo also got mugged In the end zone.. It was pretty bad Tbh.

To be fair, they let both teams' DBs be aggressive.

They definitely allow more contact than they used to. It's odd since thye have a rule now that you can't contact the receiver when the ball is in the air. Except they do every game. It seems they've decided that as long as both players are hand fighting then it's okay. I see plays in a lot of games where there's virtually no way the receiver can catch the pass because the defender is all over him and there's no call. Unless they grab and hold it's not called as much as it used to be.
