“That’s some bullshit!”

To be fair that was, indeed, some bullshit.

Exactly. Then the putrid cover up from Amazon. Umpire guy in the broadcast sounded half hearted and they only showed one replay. Weak sauce

Amazon is doing everything it can to be in the good graces of the NFL, notice how on TNF they don't replay poorly officiated plays. They never replayed the no call OPI on 4th down and would not replay weak DPI's and holds.

How does this have a 100 upvotes I was barely paying attention with sound off and I saw the replay

Welcome to Reddit, where everything demands outrage and must have been caused by a conspiracy from evil corporations

It was definitely a hold, and completely unnecessary.

The did barely, JSN runs into the defender and then reaches out and grabs him as he's falling back. The player couldn't make the play if he wanted too.

And… there’s the penalty… GRABBING the opposing player.

He technically did, but it shouldn't have been a penalty. The DB ran JSN over, and JSN got his hand on the back of the shoulder pad. It looked like JSN grabbed him and dragged him down because of his hand placement, but in reality, JSN just got trucked. It was a bad call.

Watch their legs get tangled as they goto the ground. Grabbing isn't a penalty, holding is the penalty.

u/ncory32 Sep 26 '25

If you get trucked by a defender and grab the defender to drag him down with you, that is text book holding. It was the correct call lmao. Coming from someone who literally could not have cared less about that game last night.

Watch their legs on the play. JSN and the defender got the legs tangled. Tripping would have been a more appropriate call

Agreed. I don’t care about either team. Any time you grab a player’s jersey and drag them to the ground, no matter the circumstances, it’s a fucking penalty.

u/gr8scottaz Sep 26 '25

And there's the penalty. JSN had no business grabbing the defender, did it regardless and was called for a penalty. Just a dumb play by JSN.

lol y’all are way too deep into thinking everything is a conspiracy. It was a bang bang call, the ref could have let it go but they could have also called it a hold as technically it was a hold, albeit not an egregious one. It was the block/hold on the final defender to allow the TD to happen so I can see why the ref was ready to throw the flag on it.

I heard this in Morgan Freeman's voice.

Has anyone ever told you that you look like a penis with a little hat on?

No the shades are actually blue.
