As a Detroit guy, I am so so so terribly conflicted by this.
A Minnesota loss is always good.
I still have love for staff daddy.
Blatantly missed calls and brand new rules needed to be made calls have been our legacy.
That the refs are pulling the same shit on other teams is schadenfreude.
But, having been through it game after game after season after season afer decade, I feel for them.
Barely.
That said, there absolutely need be some mechanism to review egregious penalties and phantom rule violation alike.
I don’t understand why the officials lie when these events have so many camera angles that disprove what they say.

I get that It’s the current review, and I could see how you could potentially nitpick a play with replays if you did allow penalty review, but I also feel like this should totally have been a reviewable offense. It was definitely a safety issue, AND a scoring play. Perhaps only allow it in the case of certain penalties like this? It was a scoring play, and this is definitely a safety issue.
Things like this happening are how changes happen. Penalties that aren't judgement calls should be reviewable.
There's no fucking way, do they really think people are gonna believe that?
It's not NBA levels of bad, but it would probably be good for the NFL as a whole if they actually tried to increase the quality of officials.
