Officials make embarrassing call in Browns-Redskins game

NFL's explanation is hilarious.

Can't wait for Pinocchio Blandino to put a happy face on this screw-up.

Well, that game was officiated by Jeff Tripplette, perhaps the worst official in the league. There was also a penalty on Washington for a celebration (after a big INT) that occurred ON THE SIDELINE, away from the play (the player simulated a bow and arrow - real dangerous stuff folks).

Based on what I saw in Foxboro yesterday, Pete Morelli is giving Jeff a run for his money.

Yes, it's a toss up. Sad that I actually thought during yesterday's game, "is it bad to be wishing for that dumbass Tripplette?"

 

[SalemPats]

this was awful, an absolute embarassement

 

[CISGS]

This is my point when people incorrectly say "its fixed".

No, mistakes are made. Some are understandable, some are bad, this one is just horrific.

If this was us, everyone would be posting "See! Goodell told them to give the ball to the other team!".

I remember that lady sidejudge making a bad call or two last year. This crew will get downgraded.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I can't recall so many blown calls on fumble recoveries.

 

[bigballas]

NFL will make this up by giving browns some call next week...all good

I should be violently disagreeing with you.....

I doubt it. Nothing to see. It's Goodell's NFL

 

[The Boston Patriot]

When it's your ball, you get to make the rules (and change them on the fly). Thanks Roger...

There was also a MAJOR blown call in the Titans-Texans game when the Titans were punting. The ball is snapped and at the moment the Titans' punter went to kick the ball - the whistle blew.

At nearly the exact same time, the Texans blocked the punt. They ended up returning it for a TD, although it's hard to say if the whistle played a factor in a Titans player trying to tackle the guy. Regardless, the whistle definitely didn't affect the blocked punt.

The refs thought there was 12 men on the field, but then claim that the player actually made it off the field in time and they have re-do 4th down.

NFL is Going to Bizarre Lengths to Defend Official Sarah Thomas' Fumble Recovery Call in Browns Game

 

[Sfpat]

Ho hum, nothing to see here. Just your typical Sunday afternoon in the NFL

 

[Observer]

I read the so called "explanation" and NFL's lying is becoming pathological.

 

[PrairiePat]

How can that not get overturned by replay? Geez.

Unsurprisingly, the vine video that shows the best angle of the fumble recovery, has been removed "due to request by the copyright holder".
