There were a hundred plays in the game before that one. One play rarely decides the outcome of the game. How about Harrison Butker’s missed field goal? If he had made that one this play would have mattered very little.

The NFL just sucks. They’ve made the rules so inscrutable and staff the games with these incompetent refs who always get involved in the game’s outcome.

That's what I don't get. I love football, but the NFL has been unwatchable for so long. With the political theatrics on top of it I just can't fathom why people are still torturing themselves with it.

Sometimes you just have to let things go.

Bull crap! It was the correct call. Weinies like this ultimately think the refs should be removed from the game in the closing minutes so as to not affect the outcome. So if done, now sports will begin cheating in those closing minutes to win the game, since the likelihood of penalty calls is gone. How stupid! Don’t commit the penalty! Period!

The holding was grabbing the jersey, and the defender who did it said later that it was a righteous call. But losers gotta blame it on something.

Partisan fans love to focus on the call that they think hurt their team. And with the mediocrity of the referees and the insanity of some of the rules, it is easy to do so. Hackneyed announcers don’t do the game any favors by heavy handed second guessing on the air. There were ample opportunities for each team to gripe. But that’s the way it is.Deal with it.

The game had the first instance of the Defense getting a penalty the play after a philly receiver caught big gain pass. That gave them time to throw the challenge flag.

It is past time for a 5 yard penalty for failure to attempt to advance the ball, and mandatory stopping of the clock. Make them play the game to the last tick.

Hi Allegra!

Unfortunately, that is real.   The NFL has been making a big push to declare that NFL football is gay.   Here are a couple more images to reinforce that point.
