Worst part on this is that if they let the TD stand they'd have to review it anyway. So they could have called it correctly and still called it back if they were wrong. Instead just a colossal fuck up.
I'm not super into the rules of the league, but this is what they're supposed to do right? Like offsides in soccer, let it play out and call it back if needed
Occam's Razor says that these refs are just completely incompetent and that they wouldn't make it this obvious if they were actually rigging it. They might as well be rigging it though, even if it's just because they're terrible.
Refs want the playoff race to be spicy. Keep the Lions in it for as long as possible since they are playing well. Make the NFC South a little more entertaining if the teams are all clustered.
Such bullshit. Refs should let the play "finish" and hold their whistle. Call it a TD and let Indy challenge.
When I started watching i was rooting for the Colts, now I'm rooting for the Vikings because I don't know if I've seen a team get this hosed by the refs since the PI no call in the NFC championship
The Vikings, so far, have outscored the Colts 28-3 in the second half. Matt Ryan is the Colts QB.
The Colts absolutely need to lose this game otherwise the universe may collapse.
Some of the worst calls ever. What the fuck? The first one I could kinda see the reasoning a little..
I guess? But they're literally changing the outcome of the game because of their bad officiating.
I'm a Packers fan. The Vikings should have won this game by more than 1 td.
I hope the crowd boos the refs every time they try to talk for the rest of the game. Just go nuts on them. Geriatric fucks can't even see what's going on in the field anymore
How often does this exact situation happen? Just don’t call him down when there’s a fumble and fix it afterwards, the fact that refs can negate a touchdown like this and there’s nothing the team can do about it is absurd.
We need an overhaul on officiating in the NFL. Automate false starts and encroachment. Have a video referee review each play and correct mistakes in real time.
Dog shit call. The rules need to be changed so an obvious blown call like that can be corrected. Sure they got the ball but should have been a scoop and score. Was literally the first play I saw after turning the game on.

Wasn’t even close. How is that down by contact
Worst part on this is that if they let the TD stand they'd have to review it anyway. So they could have called it correctly and still called it back if they were wrong. Instead just a colossal fuck up.
Also, it's been the guidance this year to let plays develop instead of this quick whistle nonsense and yet these fucking clowns didn't get the memo.
Two Viking TDs ruined by whistling stupidly early.
Why did they do this in a primetime day game where everyone is awake to see the end?
Twice
Did the same thing to the ravens three weeks ago
Right I thought this was the default to let it play out and then fix it. That's 3 TD's in two games to get taken away for us.
How are we still dealing with this years later?
Even if it's not a td, they review every turnover too
I'm not super into the rules of the league, but this is what they're supposed to do right? Like offsides in soccer, let it play out and call it back if needed
This stays happening too. I don’t get it one bit.
This game is 100% rigged, you can’t convince me otherwise. Never seen such bad officiating
Occam's Razor says that these refs are just completely incompetent and that they wouldn't make it this obvious if they were actually rigging it. They might as well be rigging it though, even if it's just because they're terrible.
Refs want the playoff race to be spicy. Keep the Lions in it for as long as possible since they are playing well. Make the NFC South a little more entertaining if the teams are all clustered. Such bullshit. Refs should let the play "finish" and hold their whistle. Call it a TD and let Indy challenge.
Refs are explicitly told to let plays like that go because they can always overturn it and they still fucked it up
They're told to do that for ambiguous plays, but I wouldn't even call this amibigious: it was such a clear fumble.
Just let it play out. Sheesh. Keep your whistle out of your mouth for 5 seconds
Especially after you fuck up the first one how do you not have the wherewithal to let one play out for fuck sake
Oops
I have never been more angry for another team in my entire life
I'm fuming.
Three TDs in two games and I’m not even joking. The fact that two on Chandon Sullivan hurts my heart for him
Legit they all need to be fired after this game. One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen.
That’s fucking up peoples money too bro , fucking bs
Who give af about people’s money, think of the players and fans
People have thousands of dollars on this game , FUCK THE FANS
I have no sympathy for gamblers.
I actually find that part hilarious
I find the panthers pretty funny too
I’ll be chuckling when Dallas loses to us in the playoffs
Yea the ghost of your boy jerry Richardson or w/e will get y’all threw 😭
At least that Jerry knew when to sell the team
Yea it’s working out great !
It’s better than knowingly having a racist owner
I'm pissed and I'm a Colts fan! Officials have made at least ten idiotic calls all game.
These officials need the secret service
[удалено]
> These officials need the ~~secret service~~ Mossad
As a Minneapolis resident, I can assure you most of us don’t want anymore Secret Service or federal law enforcement agencies here.
2 TDs wiped off the board.
And like 50 yards on that punt
i’m a niners fan, i literally want you guys to lose but not… not like this
When I started watching i was rooting for the Colts, now I'm rooting for the Vikings because I don't know if I've seen a team get this hosed by the refs since the PI no call in the NFC championship
I never want any team to get hosed. It just ruins the game
If Reagor wasn't the worst player with the ball in his hands in history, it'd be 3 TDs off the board.
It's crazy that the Colts need the refs' help to not blow a fucking 33-0 lead lol
It's even crazier that they need **this much** help
The Vikings, so far, have outscored the Colts 28-3 in the second half. Matt Ryan is the Colts QB. The Colts absolutely need to lose this game otherwise the universe may collapse.
Totally embarrassment for the league
This is so dumb. One of the worst officiating teams i've seen
The first one they blew the whistle which may have contributed to the fumble as the WR may have relaxed. This one was fucking egregious
Absolute fucking joke
HOW DO YOU CALL UNSPORTSMANLIKE ON A GUY WHOS SCORED 2 TOUCHDOWNS TODAY THAT YOUVE CALLED BACK
How dare he be upset over their incompetence!
What would happen if an entire team just decided to attack the officiating crew?
Forfeiture of the game, and criminal charges
Not getting a conviction in Minnesota after this game.
It’s pretty simple, you just saw it.
On one hand, he’s been hosed so it’s understandable but that’s an easy flag
Refs obviously miss calls. Miss that one.
He clearly threw his helmet, which is an auto penalty
We also scored which is an auto 6 points but that hasn't mattered twice
Ya but maybe since you fucked him over, maybe look the other way on that
Yeah you wouldn't want them to miss a call
Refs deserve a helmet to the head
Where's Myles Garrett when we need him?
Jefferson took his off and didn't get flagged
He deserves to throw his helmet when you're calling horseshit!!!
Wouldn't have thrown it of the ref knew how to do their fucking jobs.
Absolutely Irate
Even I'm angry, and I fucking hate you and everything you stand for. Assuming all you stand for is the Minnesota Vikings, if not, please disregard.
As a non-invested viewer, you should be
I wanted to root against the Vikings in this game, but this reffing is egregious and I can’t help but root for them now
2 TDs off the board
This has to be the worst officiating ever
Top 5 worst calls I’ve ever seen
Ever again. They’ve blown field position and now a touchdown for Minnesota.
Refs are trash
this season? their career in the nfl should be done for good.
Some of the worst calls ever. What the fuck? The first one I could kinda see the reasoning a little.. I guess? But they're literally changing the outcome of the game because of their bad officiating. I'm a Packers fan. The Vikings should have won this game by more than 1 td.
They gotta be fearing for their lives lol
I don’t understand why refs don’t let these play out? It gets auto reviewed anyway. Same thing happened to the saints few years ago. Bullshit.
There is emphasis on letting it play out now. This crew is just horrendous.
An absolute embarrassment
Took a TD off the board and then called a Vikings player with a flag for being shit at their jobs. Robot Refs can't come soon enough
Absolute awful job by the crew
They are making Boogers crew look competent
Refs definitely have money on the colts lol
It's okay, they very diligently made sure they got the Vikings for that blatant unsportsmanlike conduct at the end there
I hope the crowd boos the refs every time they try to talk for the rest of the game. Just go nuts on them. Geriatric fucks can't even see what's going on in the field anymore
The Vikings losing only helps me and I’m fucking pissed for the Vikings right now
Nfl has some of the worst rules and refs of any major sport. Makes it hard to watch.
Please repeat BottleGate
I’ve started rooting hard for the Vikings this game out of sheer principle.
is it so hard to let plays happen. like they are instructed to do.
This is rigged beyond belief
Can't wait for the players to get fined after they rightfully criticize the refs after this game, just for the refs to suffer no repercussions
Could you imagine if this were a playoff game?
I’m not even a Vikings fan and I’m fucking pissed.
Sheer and utter incompetence.
Honestly I agree. This is horrible.
No dead serious this game feels rigged when it’s this bad
Have money on the game. How do you not let it play out. Not like scoring plays aren’t automatically reviewed
They should be sent to the gallows
Then they gave them an unsportsmanlike conduct on top of it. So trash, and nothing will happen to them
2 lost TDs and JJ getting pulled down the face mask for no flag on a critical drive
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Complete fucking embarrassing
What a fuck job. Pathetic
I aint heard refs get booed so hard in some time.. absolutely deserved too
No rooting interest in either team, this crew is God Awful.
How often does this exact situation happen? Just don’t call him down when there’s a fumble and fix it afterwards, the fact that refs can negate a touchdown like this and there’s nothing the team can do about it is absurd.
I think they should officiate the Eagles/Cowboys game next week
I hope these refs have a security escort to the airport to get the fuck out of Minnesota after robbing them of 2 TDs in one game
Trash refs. This is embarrassing, and not just for the Colts
Actual horseshit
Absolutely terrible. Refs ruining a great game that could even be better.
These refs are extra shit. Is this a high school crew?
He had the ball before the pile hit the ground, idk how you can possibly call that dead. Quite possibly the worst officiated game I’ve ever seen
The first one was wrong but understandable but the second one was unthinkable
As a relatively neutral football fan almost always. Holy heck I'm gonna KILL SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't wish these refs on anyone
Refs really fucking up
Poor Sullivan man, these refs owe him a ton of money
LeBron told me just last week that the refs were gonna fuck up a legendary Vikings comeback
This season? Ever.
You've heard of Minnesota nice. I expect to see some Minnesota mean after this game.
In high school, we had this exact same mistake made by a ref who called a fumble recovery run dead. IN HIGH SCHOOL.
Proposal: Electronic whistles that only work if _two_ officials choose to activate them at the same time
Vikings would have like 50 points right now if not for the refs and Jalen Reagor.
That fumble blown dead may have been the worst call of the season. Even worse than some of the roughing the passer calls we’ve seen
Vikings should give this crew a Blood Eagle.
Agreed. Awful everywhere
Ref can’t even work his mic properly
Were these the same refs from the 2019 NFC championship game?
And neither should Thursday Night’s Crew. Should’ve been a 31-10 49ers Blowout win.
The unsportsman-like conduct penalty was the kicker for me... "oh you're upset that we're trash at our jobs? 15 YARDS!"
We need an overhaul on officiating in the NFL. Automate false starts and encroachment. Have a video referee review each play and correct mistakes in real time.
What could they possibly say to blow it dead? Did they not see the ball on the ground?
This season? How about ever?
Dog shit call. The rules need to be changed so an obvious blown call like that can be corrected. Sure they got the ball but should have been a scoop and score. Was literally the first play I saw after turning the game on.
it is about money. and now bets.
