[u/toomanyhitpoints]

Refs are just flipping coins to decide if its PI

[u/Odd-Platform311]

Friends, we may be witnessing the worst refereed game in the history of the NFL

[u/Big-Pirate2371]

Call that personal foul but don’t call the ridiculously late hits out of bounds on Mims.

[u/Snlxdd]

I don’t think I’ve seen such a unanimous “fuck the refs” game in a while.

Any given play you know they’re gonna absolutely fuck something up, you just don’t know how or in whose favor.

[u/Theingloriousak2]

How do you stop forward progress while the qb is extending his arm and isn’t down and it gets ripped out????

The refs are just making up new rules wtf man

[u/norcaltobos]

This crew is garbage, that is not RTP

[u/PaidUSA]

He threw that flag way late.

[u/Odd-Platform311]

Reminder these fucking losers have other jobs paying them 6 figures.

Time for full time refs.

[u/ShakeItLikeIDo]

Holding on 84 from the Cardinals. Calls PI on Moss but not this?

[u/ImprobableAvocado]

That is literally the worst call I've ever seen.

[u/Boomhauer_007]

That’s gotta be one of the worst PI calls this year holy shit

[u/Diligent_Pin1313]

Btw if you havent watched Broncos games thats an average DPI call on moss

[u/FlaccidJustice]

I don't usually comment on NFL games. I mostly stick to the CFB sub. However, these refs have been SO flag happy that I just had to stop by and see what people were saying lol. As a neutral this game has been unbearable to watch.

[u/DKM-18]

Yeah obviously first. How are these refs allowed to be this fucking bad

[u/DeeBeeroncos979815]

The officials have to be DYING to throw a flag right now. It's been so long

[u/BJYeti]

Look DPI absolutely fair but what the fuck was the roughing the passer penalty

[u/csummerss]

I really don’t understand how you’re supposed to defend now. DB gets his head turned around, minimal hand fighting with WR, and deflects ball.

[u/Goofy_Goober948]

These refs aren't biased, they're just incompetent. Like, really fucking incompetent

[u/DerMeisterMC]

Whether or not something is DPI is just based on vibes today

[u/styxman34]

Racial profiling. Fucking bullshit call

[u/Whiskey-Football-Ski]

what the actual fuck

[u/LutherOfTheRogues]

One of the most overly officiated games in history

[u/mentalxkp]

At this point, Moss just gets called based on reputation, not on what he does/doesn't do. kinda inverted of what happens to stars, where they DON'T get called.

[u/SCsprinter13]

PI on a guy that wasn't even close enough to commit PI?

[u/kakyointhedonutman]

Someone needs to blow up about the refs in the press conference and take a fine. How is it possible these bozos are making 6 figures to do their job so poorly

[u/Nicktastic86]

RTP for hitting him... too good?

[u/kirkismyhinrich]

Always salty Patriots and Chiefs fans in these threads

[u/lordofpersia69420]

Mcbride is so good. 

[u/Cjtow113]

Ref ball, seriously fuck these refs. Both teams.

[u/deadlythegrimgecko]

Refs just picking and choosing what to call lol

One play is a dpi without any actual dpi occurring

Then another play isn’t dpi with clear dpi

[u/kakyointhedonutman]

HES NOT EVEN AT THE CB UNTIL HE GETS THE BALL WTF

[u/Ig_Met_Pet]

That's literally not pass interference. Not even close

[u/Jak947]

Absolutely heinous officiating

[u/tannerjameslasswell]

The NFL trying to keep a white corner back down.

[u/kroenkeisadevilman]

Refs said "hell, somebody's gotta move the ball, might as well be us"

[u/Red_Squirrel_4232]

Is playing defense illegal to these refs?

[u/Downtown_Conflict_53]

I’m about to turn this shit off, this sport is terrible

[u/kirkismyhinrich]

I can't believe how bad that DPI call was. Just bizarre

[u/norcaltobos]

Are the Cardinals gonna get called for a hold? Jesus Christ

[u/two_dats_and_a_cog]

Fire these refs into outer space

[u/sergantsnipes05]

Maybe now he realizes that his ankle isn’t glass and he gets some confidence back

[u/ShakeItLikeIDo]

They should have called DPI on this play and definitely not on the one earlier in the game

[u/ph1shstyx]

How the fuck is that a roughing the passer? I see the DPI, there's no way that was roughing the passer

[u/Apotheosis62]

PI entering the same territory as what is a balk and what is goaltender interference.

[u/Odd-Platform311]

This officiating crew’s calls have gaslit themselves into having zero understanding of what constitutes pass interference

[u/DerMeisterMC]

Ahh there it is. The guaranteed phantom PI call on Moss.

[u/daannnnnnyyyyyy]

These refs are absolutely out of control.

[u/torev]

Fucking fire these refs. That was not dpi.

[u/abris33]

That was an abysmal DPI call. He didn't touch him

[u/fhrblig]

What an inexcusable call. Not PI

[u/x872YEOx]

Refs calling every fucking thing except when Franklin was held lmao

[u/sergantsnipes05]

Then they don’t call the obvious hold lol

[u/muffinkevin]

This officiating crew needs to be fired. First that bullshit PI now this

[u/bdybwyi]

This ref crew needs punishment after this game

[u/Kneebah17]

These refs are atrocious. If I didnt know better I'd think this was a B1G game.

[u/orangefrido18]

If they're gonna let him extend his arm, they have to let that decision play out, which was the ball being taken from him. That wasn't the goal line ball breaking the plane ending the play

[u/i-like-legos2]

Finally remembered he has his legs

[u/MileHighNub]

At this point I feel like Riley Moss must have slept with every official in the league's wives with how they treat him

[u/YourTeamIsNow]

That WASNT a flag but the first one was? 

[u/kakyointhedonutman]

Lmao more BS pi from this ref crew

[u/FireflyRodric]

What even IS pass interference, really?

[u/bgfan26]

This is an incompetent crew. They’re about to let them kick but then all of a sudden it’s under review. Ok man

[u/DoctorWaluigiTime]

Hook and ladder! And a stunned-looking Cardinals coach with the "wow". New gif lol.

[u/caxlmao]

This has new new new new new new worst game ever written all over it

[u/Glove_Upset]

Obligatory questionable DPI on Riley Moss call

[u/j-beezy]

In a season of some truly terrible calls, that PI call was something else.

[u/muff_cabbag3]

That's genuinely the worst PI call I've ever seen.

[u/Fast-Government-4366]

This is why Denver fans weren’t upset about the rams call. It was soft but moss 100% been called there.

[u/tannerjameslasswell]

Refs must have run out of flags.

[u/Nicktastic86]

This game is hot garbage

[u/cashtangoteam]

Best play of the season right there. Bo gots the wheels

[u/DerMeisterMC]

????????????????????????

How was there NOBODY in the middle? I would have a shot at making the score there

[u/Red_Squirrel_4232]

Am I tweaking or should have that been a PI

[u/buzzmemello520]

AZ coach is hilarious every time they cut to him

[u/Arthur3335]

Did Cards coach just say "wow" in disbelief? Thats not good for a 4th and 13 call

[u/styxman34]

I NEEED that shot of lafluer going ".....wow...."

[u/kakyointhedonutman]

Oh brother can we STOP with this ref shit. Not another flag for the rest of the game PLEASE

[u/keezy_00_]

So what is a DPI

[u/IWMSvendor]

Clear DPI for being a white corner.

Honestly, this refball game is borderline unwatchable (both sides btw)

[u/ragingbaiter]

Genuinely don’t know, is that usually a PI? How long is the allowed contact?

[u/Impressive-Alps-6975]

If it's within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage then it cant be OPI

[u/bluecifer7]

What the actual fuck

[u/GratefulDawg73]

Christ. Riley Moss the victim of discrimination yet again.

[u/CameronLabbe]

This ref crew is absolutely miserable

[u/cashtangoteam]

The refs are racist against Riley Moss

[u/YourTeamIsNow]

In WHAT world

[u/Snlxdd]

With 10 flags in the first quarter, we are now on track to beat the NFL record of 37 in a game

[u/LionelHutz88]

RIP Cameraman

[u/DoctorWaluigiTime]

RIP cameraman.

[u/Snlxdd]

“If he caught it that would’ve been a touchdown”

Gripping analysis

[u/Odd-Platform311]

Can’t get over that PI call. That was horrendous.

[u/coldupnorth11]

If waddle falls forward after the catch he gets it. He went one step back and lost it

[u/DenverTechGuru]

FUCK YEAH BO

[u/Derptionary]

Bo Nix: I am the run game

[u/lordofpersia69420]

I hope that improves his confidence a bit. He is playing so scared

[u/mycatsnameissushi]

That was the most blown coverage defensive play I have ever seen LMAO

[u/schewbacca]

Thats a pi if it was moss right there

[u/TouchGraceMaidenless]

But obviously that's not DPI

[u/SpacemanSenpai]

Without even commenting on that drive, these refs have been unhinged this game. The Riley Moss PI, calling Brissett short on the QB sneak (then upholding it on review lol).. it’s pretty egregious

[u/shawncee]

Calling it both ways (terribly) I guess

[u/DeeBeeroncos979815]

Good fucking lord these officials are straight ass. Horrible calls on both sides ALL FUCKING GAME

[u/toomanyhitpoints]

Lmao someone please gif mcfleur there

[u/Fuddlescuddles]

‘Wow’ is what we all said

[u/Nicktastic86]

What is he even "wow"ing at? Your own terrible play shitting the bed?

[u/PMmeSpreadEaglePics]

Props to Broncos fans at the game for holding up those signs for Larry Fitzgerald

[u/AcidRainBowTieFightr]

These refs call DPI when it’s not and don’t call it when it is 🙄

[u/Right-Door8427]

Absolutely awful call. How much cleaner could it be

[u/Joborule]

WTF refs?

[u/bluecifer7]

This is just refball

[u/DenverTechGuru]

These refs fucking suck.

[u/gabem805]

Racial profiling

[u/bgfan26]

What the FUCK is this referee crew doing holy shit

[u/MaybeMaple-]

PI how??? Moss is genuinely flagged off rep half the time

[u/kakyointhedonutman]

Why the hell do the Cardinals need help? Drive completely from flags

[u/FUCK_THE_BOOKS]

send those refs to north korea

[u/jlt6666]

Cameraman got fucked up. Hope he's ok.

[u/Jayco5_]

Wild to me how nobody ever checks on the cameraman getting shitmixed by a 220lb player moving at full speed

[u/Salty_Helicopter9356]

Arizona is holding on like half these plays

[u/mentalxkp]

god damn. maybe he'll feel ok about that ankle now

[u/NateAdkinsLover]

Cardinals had zero respect for Bo’s legs there. Given this season, understandable, but glad he finally used his legs

[u/Glove_Upset]

Got any more of those imaginary DPI calls?

[u/ShakeItLikeIDo]

“Wow”

-Mike Lafleur

[u/MayorHotsauce]

Crazy how fast the patriot flairs drop off every week

[u/greywolf2155]

These refs are just throwing darts to decide what's DPI and what isn't. We've been on the plus side of some, on the minus of others, but the constant is that they're just fucking making it up as they go

[u/D-MACtheBakedNomad]

Besides the refball this has been the most relaxed I've been watching the Broncos in a while

[u/420Rowlet]

The run game looks completely different with Coleman out there

[u/SCsprinter13]

I wouldn't call the play a trick play. Waddle sweeps happen a couple times a game. It's just part of the offense.

[u/TheThockter]

Pass interference is when you play good coverage

[u/420Rowlet]

Pass interference for defending a pass?

[u/Impressive-Alps-6975]

Bullshit call

[u/DKM-18]

Oh yeah I forgot moss isn’t allowed to play defense. Fuck this shit

[u/ash-jager-main]

HOLY FUCK CAN WE STOP WITH THE FLAGS

[u/jordan142142]

Terrible call

[u/bigfootdude247]

No way they just got Moss again

[u/Salty_Helicopter9356]

These refs man

[u/lordofpersia69420]

These refs fucking suck. 

[u/TouchGraceMaidenless]

A DPI call when the defender was a yard away from the receiver. Brought to you by the DraftKings Referees. NFL is a fucking joke.

[u/PatientlyAnxious9]

At this point it has to be racial profiling against Moss

[u/kakyointhedonutman]

That ref should be unemployed and homeless by the end of the day. Not worthy of this job

[u/Big-Pirate2371]

Terrible call on Trautman to take away first and goal. Missed holding when Franklin was open. Missed two blatantly late hits on Mims. Moss touched the ball before he touched the receiver and gets called for PI. Fuck these refs.

[u/tannerjameslasswell]

Riley Moss should sue the NFL for discrimination. 

[u/Metallkasten]

More salty pats fans here than cardinals fans

[u/kirkismyhinrich]

It's not an exaggeration to say that DPI might have been the worst call I've ever seen in many many years of watching football. That's why Broncos fans are upset lol

[u/GratefulDawg73]

That's on Waddle. You've got to run past the first down spot and then turn around.

[u/DKM-18]

Wait that call was upheld? HAHAHAHA wtf 😭

[u/muffinkevin]

That could've been a turnover

[u/Nicktastic86]

I just kept waiting for a defender to appear....

[u/GratefulDawg73]

The home crowd comes ALIVE!

[u/sergantsnipes05]

More of that please

[u/DenverTechGuru]

He just found his BOJO

[u/Salty_Helicopter9356]

Hopefully that restored some confidence for him

[u/SandSeraph]

Bo playing the long game. If he doesn't run well for 350 consecutive snaps, he can save up one big play like that every 7 games.

[u/thestormworn]

"Everyone was reacting in different ways, and not in the best way." - Kevin Harlan, summarizing the Cardinals year perfectly.

[u/abris33]

That's a makeup call. They gave Moss a DPI earlier when he was 2 yards away that led to a FG

[u/DeeBeeroncos979815]

Bro I never thought I'd see the day where the Broncos run a successful screen for a tugg!

[u/ProstockAccount]

These refs just fuckin suck

[u/Apotheosis62]

Dude they're already lined up for the kick how the fuck did it take you that long to stop for a review

[u/sergantsnipes05]

The refs are out of control

[u/NYPD-BLUE]

You have FIRST AND GOAL AT THE 1

YOU HAVE A 240 POUND QB

NO ONE OVER THE CENTER

HOW DO YOU NOT JUST QB SNEAK

[u/spiderpigface]

Idk why they're even playing. Just ask the refs who they want to win and save us the time

[u/RovertheDog]

Awful call, he was within 1 yard of the line of scrimmage the whole time.

[u/Content-Assistant849]

Not sure how a ref can get away with that. Should be fired

[u/DenverTechGuru]

Of course there's a flag on the play.

[u/tannerjameslasswell]

As a Zebra fan I'm disgusted at the lack of flags being thrown today. 

[u/byzantinedavid]

What the fuck???

[u/kakyointhedonutman]

Awful call

[u/Lost_Rolls_]

How is that a flag??

[u/Jayco5_]

The PI had to be before that replay otherwise what the actual fuck

[u/Red_Squirrel_4232]

Straight refball wow

[u/duffman1260]

Stupid fucking refs

[u/jlgar]

I swear the refs just have it out for this dude

[u/GratefulDawg73]

WHY DON'T YOU THROW ANOTHER FLAG, ASSHOLES?

[u/cashtangoteam]

10 penalties in the 1st quarter is wild

[u/_your_comment_sucks]

Breaking news: Multi billion dollar clown league refuses to fix its officiating problems. We’ll keep you updated as the situation develops.

[u/DKM-18]

That dude probably just lost a 5k dollar camera lol

[u/DenverTechGuru]

These refs seem to want this to be unwatchable.

[u/Tzazon]

Broncos have 84 total yards of offense, Cardinals have 92 total yards of offense, the referees have 98 total yards of offense as of typing this comment from looking at the box score.

[u/shawncee]

BO IS BACK LEAGUE FUCKED

[u/GratefulDawg73]

Raiders getting blasted by the Rams. You love to see it.

[u/tannerjameslasswell]

Why can't Denvers offense just be normal? 

[u/ImprobableAvocado]

There's nothing more beautiful than a screen pass thrown just over the heads of 4 blitzers.

[u/unloader86]

LET'S FUCKING GO!

[u/GratefulDawg73]

Let's take this moment to laugh at the Raiders.

[u/meece2010]

Feel bad for the cardinals coach after that shot

[u/putdahaakin]

Lol the "wow" by the head coach

[u/SidSideEyes]

I can’t wait to listen to Colorado sports radio tomorrow to find out why I should be sad about this.

[u/MayorHotsauce]

Can we just end it already damn

[u/Girthw0rm]

Could have sworn hitting a runner with your helmet was a personal foul earlier. Now it’s just a free timeout?

[u/greywolf2155]

Even the booth is like, "we have no fucking clue what this ref crew is doing"

[u/kirkismyhinrich]

This is why we should run the ball with the game already over instead of fucking around

[u/ReindeerMean6253]

How the fuck do these refs have a job?

[u/norcaltobos]

OPI just as much as it’s DPI. Shit call

[u/quidproquolaspe]

The incompetence is almost unbelievable, you get 1st and goal from the 1 3 times, you choose to do 4 pass plays and a QB sneak you cannot make this stuff up

[u/TheseBonesAlone]

That wasn’t a goal line stand so much as it was a goal line trip and fall. Bad news Cardinals

[u/Snlxdd]

Did he even touch him prior to the ball getting there?

[u/MinerKing13]

The PI was obvious BS, but even that personal foul is soft, the runner lowered his head at the last second

[u/mastergriggy]

That was pass interference? Homie touched the ball in the air before he made contact with the Arizona player. Wtf.

[u/esports_consultant]

So consensus is that the officials are total garbage but also the current scoreline is fair?

[u/Aarvex]

Moss made a play, call PI. Business as usual
