--The San Francisco 49ers vs. Philadelphia Eagles game kicked off at 3:00 p.m. EST on Sunday, Jan. 29 -Referee John Hussey and crew were trolled for their alleged biased calls in the Philadelphia Eagles vs San Francisco 49ers -This trolling comes as fans are already aware of Referee Hussey's history with The Eagles
NFL referees’ whistles can have an unintended effect on a game’s tempo and tone. Thus, when it was revealed that John Hussey would be the head referee for Sunday’s game, it appeared that the Philadelphia Eagles would be in good hands.
Hussey, 58, started his career in 2002 as a line judge before becoming a referee in 2015. Three Eagles playoff games had Hussey as a line judge. This includes the Eagles’ divisional round triumph against the Vikings in 2005, and their wild-card round victory over the Vikings in 2009. All in all, The Eagles have a pretty good history with John Hussey.
However, fans who are aware of this history are now accusing Referee Hussey of being partial towards the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.
John Hussey accused of biased judgments:
Referee John Hussey and crew were trolled for their alleged biased calls in the Philadelphia Eagles vs San Francisco 49ers NFC title game at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
“@NFL you have to kill the game ? Obvious you want Philly to win the superbowl ! Niners D# Got framed with fake flaggs ! John Hussey, corrupt ahole !!!” a Twitter user said.
“Just saying, the #Eagles haven’t lost a game with John Hussey as ref,” another one added.
“John Hussey and his crew have been awful. Nfl needs to fix this officiating problems fast,” a third one tweeted.

John Hussey controversies:
On Hussey’s record of controversial decisions, there aren’t many that were flawed. In December, he was chastised for overturning a potential game-tying touchdown by Washington due to an illegal formation penalty. In that case, Hussey came under scrutiny for failing to call a pass interference foul on a pivotal fourth-down play that occurred late in the fourth quarter. However, overall, Hussey has a very strong track record and has never been strongly accused of biases before today.
LOL...bet Goodell thought his "taking one for the team" days were long behind him. Very sure that referee wouldn't mind substituting for him. That injury was vicious and unnecessary rendering the Eagles victory hollow and corrupt. I'll be rooting for Coach Impending Heart Attack and his wrong-city-for-barbecue crew.
Kind of like driving by a dumpster fire—I honestly had no idea who was playing who, or where they were in the playoff process.
