Did you know the terrible call on Bengals LB Wilson #55 happened at the same time as the non pass interference call the Rams benefitted from in the 2019 NFC Championship Game? Remember when Robey-Colvin hit the Saints Wilson with 1:45 to go?? Well This one gift wrapped Super Bowl LVI for the Rams also with 1:45 to go. Terrible finish and now that gambling is legall and endorsed by the NFL we are entering a strange era. These horrendous calls will come under a microscope.
During each postseason every football fan dreads a moment where the game is decided by the referees and not the players on the field. We think back to “The Tuck Rule”, Mike Renfro’s catch/non catch in the ’79 AFC Championship, or Bert Emanuel’s catch/non catch in the NFC Championship. Yet yesterday for the 1st time since Referee Jim Tunney made the call after Renfro’s catch had a nationally televised audience yelling in anguish at a moment instant replay could have corrected.

Man you hit the nail on the head… legalized gambling is beneficial to the two entities, the NFL and the whales in Vegas … they will “always” make the wrong call on purpose to benefit the oddsmakers… think about it… 2nd year a home team plays in SB and 2nd biggest media market … they would never allow a smaller market team to win a chip. Think of the 2002 WCF with the Kings and Lakers… the NBA would not allow a small “cow town” like Sacramento to hoist the O’Brien hardware. The camera does NOT lie but unfortunately, the refs will and so will that crook GOODELL.
