The Cleveland Browns got screwed by a fumble call, when the ball was already in the possession of Duke Johnson and he stood up, while players fought for something else in a pile. To most rational people who can watch something with their own eyes, that’s what happened.
However, rather than just acknowledge the mistake and move on (something that has happened many times in the past), the NFL is bizarrely digging its heels in on this one.

It was totally a fumble. In the video you can clearly see that the ball was out of his possession before his knee ever touched the ground. Pay attention to the 32-33 second mark. Watch it full speed to get oriented to where the ball is, and then watch it again frame-by-frame. There’s no question at all that it was legitimate fumble.
I watched NO get cheated against Oakland late in the game. It have what should have been a NO win over to Oakland. It was so bad, it seemed it has to be intentional. Not a word said about it.
Hey are they going to turn everything pink again for a whole month. I hate that.
The one we have now is pretty darned close....
I haven't even been able to understand women voting...Nothing good ever came of that!
Look at comment 33 in this post and watch the video.
Pause the video at exactly the 11 second mark.
Look at the left side of the frame.
As the players are fighting over the “ball” and the woman official is looking down at the scrum and indicating the Redskins have possession, Johnson is standing a yard away from the pile holding the ball over his head.
He fumbled the ball and immediately recovered it. The two Redskin players were at the bottom of the pile fighting with each other over a make believe ball. Since the woman official didn’t see any Browns players at the bottom of the pile she assumed one of the Redskins had the ball and signaled the change of possession.
Roger Goodell is single handily destroying the NFL.
What a fool!
That’s damned funny! It’s like something out of a Leslie Nielsen movie.
You’re right. I see it now. Thanks for pointing that out. I still don’t see how he came up with it, though.
I love women. I loved my Mom and My grandmothers. I love my WIFE!!I love my daughters-in-law. I would kill for them. I know football. My sons were in it big and survived. My grandson plays . That field is violence governed my very tight rules to prohibit mayhem . I have coached and officiated ( kids). I can tell you that is it not a place for a women under any illusion. We are sexually and physically and mentally different. I think women are superior in most definable attributes. But men are hunter/ gatherers ( unless the are faggots) . and that means they are killers. In civilization we curtail that but a football game is its primal existentialism and is no damned place for “Tammy”.
When my oldest was 10, it was his first year of tackle football . I was an assistant coach with 5 others. (I did line backers). We had 33 4th graders. The head coach was one mean son. He played Div 1. We had a crappy practice. “Crappy”. He called us in before he ran them into vomiting and said “ You guys are a bunch of pussys!!!” — loud!! After my son threw up and we were driving home he said “Dad——pause— What is a pussy?” we won every game.
