Officiating in Buffalo vs. Tampa Bay Game, December 12, 2021
I am writing to express my outrage regarding the terrible officiating in the Tampa Bay vs. Buffalo game on 12/12/21. Stefon Diggs was blatantly held and interfered with as he tried to catch a game-winning TD pass. No penalty was called. In OT, a dubious penalty was called against the Bills that allowed the Bucs to win the game. The NFL owes Buffalo
Desired outcome: Compensation to Bills
Officiating
I do not know if you even care, but your refs are making game -changing calls. If a team is playing the Packers at home like the Chicago Bears, the bias is blatant and the calls change game outcomes. With gambling about to be legal in the USA, what are you doing to stop NFL referee corruption?
The games look orchestrated and biased to many involved. The Chicago Bears are a team I like, and man have you guys really [censored]ed them over this year. Steelers, packers to mention two games decided by penalties. It is getting really rediculous. I am doign everything I can to expose blatant corruption in the NFL.
Can't you guys rein this in or do you just favor Aaron Rogers. Slapping him with useless fines like 15k for violating covid protocol? So rediculous!
You guys are full of [censored] and we all know it. All calls should be able to be reviewed instantly-period! We have the [censored]ing technology [censored]! Let teh coaches review everything they deem pertinent. Also holding is so subjective its reiculous. Pass interference same thing rediculous. Bears Green Bay last night. Muffed punt called back for a guy who went out of bounds but clearly came back in as soon as possible. This changed the game! Call of pass interference against the Bears was ludicrous! He barely touched toe Greenbay receiver but popularity contests rule the day. You should be ashamed of this!
Blatantly throwing games and making profit on their own gambling is what everyone sees now and it is going to get worse Way worse when gambling hits all 50 states . You guys are the good 'ole boys and we know it. I will continue to devote my life to NFL Corruption and expose them online as I near retirement.
Desired outcome: next day review of penalties called suring games. Public aknowledgement of bad calls costing teams games!REview
NFL Officiating:
To Whom It May concern: I moved to Buffalo recently (July 5th) from Houston to escape climate change and watch my Buffalo Bills. I'm embarrassed that the issue I am writing to you about is trivially about sports, but nevertheless it's had a huge impact on me since my childhood, and it's one of the few things I bonded over with my father, and hope to share...
Read full review of National Football League [NFL]NFL commissioner
Commissioner Goodell needs to be fired!
Targeting an NFL coach, and the team.
I'm speaking about the Las Vegas Raiders
Additionally the officiating is very one sided as well against the Raiders. Watching the NFL games there at least a handful of games each week that are blatantly missed called.
Used to be I watched football, really can't say that anymore, it's whatever teams the NFL seems to be the teams to watch or that they want. It looks like the NFL is becoming like the NBA . Ratings have plummeted and the way it's going at this point I hope they do completely crash so there is a reset .
Desired outcome: Firing of the commissioner
TonyRomo
Why does Tony Romo always have to commentate the Pittsburgh Steeler games?
He never has anything positive to say about them. This is the only team he does this with.
Sunday night football
I watched the intro to the Cleveland vs Baltimore game during Sunday Night Football and was completely disgusted by what I heard. Jada Pickett Smith was narrating bc apparently she is from Baltimore. Does the NFL know about the accusations of her bedding children?!?! She has been accused to sleeping with then 15 year old Chris Kelly from the 90's group Kris Kross. She was 22 years old at the time …. 22 years old! Especially during this climate in society, how dumb do you have to be to have a possible child rapist on during your broadcast. Please do yourselves a favor and just do a quick google search. You can find everything you need to know. NFL talks a lot when it comes to protecting their brand. Apparently that doesn't matter when it involves only certain people. I'm disgusted and will never watch again
Desired outcome: Public apology for using Jada Pickett Smith to narrate
If it is a social issue of any kind, you can always count on the NFL to come out on the wrong side of the issue. That's why Lawrence Taylor, Ray Lewis and Jim Brown have continued to be such a big part of the NFL image.
Social justice
Simply put, I am against your efforts, primarily over the last 2 years, to prove to everyone that this country has been racist. We all know this country is the least racist country on this universe and your efforts to prove otherwise are divisive.
My friends and I have not watched a single NFL play for the last 2 years because of your 1) playing of the Black National Anthem, 2) Racism signage on jerseys, end zones, and other places, 3) Support of BLM, which has caused much propertry destruction and hatred towards our police forces.
This country was doing great until about 10 years ago when racism was reintroduced as a problem even though race relations was the best if had ever been.
So, what are your plans for 2022 in this regard?
Desired outcome: Chgange your suppport of BLM and everything it stands for
Referees
The refs in the chargers broncos game were unfair and biased and treated both team unequal so I would like the to be fired. The broncos should also be investigated for bribing the refs and if so should have there next two first round picks taken away from them and the team should be fined and all players/coaches who are found guilty of bribing the refs should be suspended for 4 weeks.
Desired outcome: The refs should be fired and if found guilty the Brock’s should have there next 2 first round picks taken away
The refs this season suck in every game! Is it the NFL dictating who wins or are the refs taking bribes. What a joke.
Home market
It is November 28 and I am forced to watch the Portland 49ers vs Minnesota Vikings instead of a much more compelling game (LA Rams vs Green Bay Packers). I thought the 49ers were from San Francisco/Santa Clara, but apparently they moved to Portland, because the LA Rams vs Green Bay game is the national game of the week on Fox - meaning it is broadcast to all markets in America except those home markets for specific teams. San Francisco is 635 miles south of Portland, Santa Clara is 666 miles from Portland. Also, San Francisco is in California, while Portland is in Oregon. Apparently the NFL does not require its employees - especially those making decisons about television broadcasting and home markets - to have a college degree, high school diploma or even a G.E. D. Portland (and Oregon) have little or nothing in common with San Francisco (or California) culturally. Oregonians are notoriously anti-California in all matters (I am not that provincial, but the NFL should be aware that Oregonians don't want to be linked to California in any way). Thus, I can only conclude that the 49ers moved to Portland in the last few days and no one except the NFL is aware of it.
Even worse, in most weeks, we in Portland are forced to watch the Portland Seahawks games (this week is an exception, as the Seahawks play on Monday night) on Fox. This team used to be in Seattle, but again, apparently they have secretly moved to Portland. Seattle is 173 miles from Portland. More important, Portland and Seattle famously despise each other in almost all matters. No one who is a true Oregonian will support anything from Seattle, particularly in sports matters. Culturally, Seattle residents are elitists toward Portland and consider Portland to lack culture and sophistication. Portland residents regard Seattle as filled with stuffy snobs of the yuppie type. Accurate or not, Seatte and Porltand do not hold affection or respect for each other. So it is illogical and inhumane that the NFL stuffs the Seahawks into our eyes week after week after week. We are Portland, OREGON not Portland, WASHINGTON. We do not have an NFL team - that does not mean we automatically should be forced to support the team geographically nearest us. This is reprehensible, incomprehnsible and indefensible. Boo, NFL. Boo, Seattle Seahawks. Boo, Santa Clara/San Francisco 49ers.
We don't need to be anyone's home market. We AREN'T a home market for any NFL team. Just give us the best games each week, the most interesting, most compelling (generally speaking, the national game of the week). We are not beholden or obligated to cheer for a team FROM ANOTHER STATE.
You are disgusting, NFL, for your narrow minded, ignorant grasp of cultural differences and geographical rivalries. Free us from the soulcrushing, arcan e home market broadcast rules. We are not a home market, we should be what we are - a free market.
The only satisfactory resolution to this issue is for the NFL to stop counting Portland as part of the Seattle home market, and further, stop counting Portland as part of the San Francisco home market during weeks that the Seattle Seahawks are not broadcast on Fox.
The best resolution would be to broadcast games of national interest (for example, the games being broadcast to the majority of the nation) in the Portland tv market (not the NFL home market).
These resolutions should take place immediately if not sooner.
BOO NFL!
Desired outcome: Remove Portland, Oregon from the Seattle home market for NFL games
Agreed. Tired of having to watch seahawk football because I live in Portland. Would like to see the most compelling games that are available. Not even going to waste my time this week, on the Lions-Seahawks game. Really!
The officiating
As an NFL official how is that you do not know when a catch is made. How does this clown still have a job? The blatant incompetence or sheer corruption is an embarrassment to everyone players and fans alike. I hear players and coaches all the time talk about watching tape to learn and get better. Perhaps the officials who screwed up the Dallas Las Vegas game should watch tape to learn and get better. Or are they just flat out dishonest and shouldn't be trusted!? Refs should never make themselves front and center of any game. Shame on those idiots for ruining a thanksgiving game. One sports writer put it like That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who watched this Thanksgiving showcase, as it at time felt like the game's officiating crew was featured just as prominently as Dak Prescott or Derek Carr.
When Carr runs into a defensive player and gets 15 yards added to the end of his run because of a roughing the passer call. It is STUPID and stacks of a need for attention or to satisfy a gambling debt. Who knows!
WOW! GARBAGE GAME WORAT THANKSGIVING GAME EVER BECAUSE OF THE REFS!
Desired outcome: Yeah right
Officiating
Okay folks, the game between the Raiders and Dallas on Thanksgiving was disgusting by the officials. Never seen it get that low. I'm done with the rest of this league. I am totally sick of how the NFL does business with us. On so many levels. This Thanksgiving game should tell everyone a lot about the problems that officiating in the NFL is having. 28 penalties on a Thanksgiving national audience. That is a sick representation of how these official dopes are controlling the game. It puts a black mark on the NFL.
Desired outcome: Knock it off. The players play. At least make it consistent between Crews.
Coverage of the thanksgiving game
My complain is with the network that didn't cover the last 1/3 of the overtime to see Dallas run it down the field and subsequently turned over the ball to the raiders who subsequently made the winning field goal. "NONE" of that last action was covered by the network. What gives?
NFL referees
The referees are horrible and inconsistent. They either call to many calls on both teams, too few calls on both teams, or they just blatantly favor one team over the other. Sometimes depending on the game it's so bad it seems like one of the referees MUST be betting on the game.
Some teams and some players many of the referees clearly favor over the others, and the league needs to change that asap.
Desired outcome: Have much better training for the officials, and discipline them more when they mess up.
officials
Dallas is lining up with their heads past the ball on defense and offsides has not been called number 11 is most plays in the neutral zone on most plays
Analysis and app
Like some of the hosts but I would also like to watch without some of distractions during game day.
I do like the nfl app but I've heard concerns about viral happenings during downloads - hopefully nfl.com is on top of these things and can get us the best possible result or else we will just turn to other sports or platforms.
As you can see I'm an outspoken fan trying to stay with and get the sports gurus to get us the best products possible.

Also while I have heard about other sports apps sites that are pretty good when it comes to highlights/updates and postgame, nfl.com has some very good people why not make it better before switching apps/sites.

The referees
I'm sitting at home watching the Buffalo hills take on the Indianapolis Colts and have had just about enough of the refs determining the outcomes of these football games. 1st it was the Titans and now the Colts. Pay attention to the game and scrutinize what to call a damn penalty. Josh Allen's pick that was in the first quarter had holding and or pass interference that wasn't called and you could see it in all the replays with the refs standing right there. The other penalty was the late hit calls on the defense, let the guys play. He didn't crush the guy and even the announcers didn't think that was a good call, you know when they say that it can't be good.
Sincerely,
A life long football fan who has had enough of these one sided calls on penalties.
Desired outcome: Better referees that can call a game properly and an email response regarding this to the email provided below
Hope you can get this straightened out prior to playoffs. I’ve seen other games just as bad lately and frankly it’s getting old.
Outcome just to stay alive
come on really since first week obvious.i stopped betting.to many unreal wins n losses only got worse and the refs lol. they should be held to higher standards and fined.i guess coronivirus changed more than we thought. betting has given 3.5 mill a week that wouldnt be there to well we know.lol too short ok sell 2.44 to shg whoops ok too much now.487
Kindergarten cop officiating of the buccaneers and washington football team game
Buccaneers vs Washington Football Team: 14 November 2021
First of all the Referees let the Washington offensive line push the pile after the running back was competely stopped for at least 3-5 seconds. Before that there was a defensive pass interference call with the ball 12 to 14 feet about the receivers head and totally uncatchable. Then in the first half there was a face mask of Mike Evans with the ref looking right at it and it was caught on camera and there was no call.
Desired outcome: Clean up the officiating. This is a professional sport, not Pop-Warner.
Tony Corrente
To whom it may concern,
Yesterdays officiating was the worst I have ever seen in my life. Tony Corrente should be suspended or fired for what he did to Cassius Marsh. He purposefully stepped back into his path as he was coming off of the field. Also there were plenty of late hits to the QB that were not called. There should be a formal investigation and the tapes should be reviewed. It is clear that this jerk Corrente was holding his hand on the flag ready to throw it in the air. Marsh did look over to the sidelines of the Steelers but he did not taunt nor say anything. That was not taunting, as soon as he passed "THE JERK" you can see he stepped back so as to allow Marsh to brush up against him. The officiating caused a great game to be a horrible game due to the Refs causing the Bears to lose. Please take this email into consideration to an investigation to Tony Corrente behavior. You have video, WATCH IT!
Desired outcome: Suspended or Fire Tony Corrente
Bears at steelers
Good evening,
It is pretty obvious that the crew officiating this game is either grossly incapable of doing their jobs or the fix is in. The series of no calls against the Steelers defense in the third quarter was absolutely egregious and obvious. Somebody really needs to look into this.
Thank you,
Brian Rolf
