Let me just explain to you how dumb the NFL MVP award is:
Myles Garrett had the greatest defensive season of ALL TIME
… and he is NOT one of the 5 finalists for MVP this season
How can you have an all-time season and not even be a finalist?
Because the voting is dumb, the process is dumb and the award is dumb
Somebody please use some LOGIC
1) The fact this angle was not released until days later says everything. How many times do we go into commercial / come out of commercial and get 8 different camera angles of a play only to get the one that is clear as day at the last moment. It’s all a con to make a TV show.
2) All the “the ball came free when it hit the ground / if there was no defender and it just popped free it’s incomplete” is bull. Cooks caught it. He brought it to his body as he hit the ground. He was locked in.
This has never ever been called a pick. The officials were afraid of the home crowd. They blew the call. Then the league threw every foot soldier possible out to try and gaslight the masses.
10000000%
The @BuffaloBills got straight HOSED by the @NFLOfficiating!!!
I swear I feel so bad for the Bills organization for what they’ve had to endure over the years but to have the refs to make that decision is not only unbelievable but unacceptable. These refs may need to be investigated. #realtalk
Originally I thought this was an interception but the more I watch it I’ve changed my mind. It’s wild the officials didn’t just take their time to review this play.
Here's the problem with last night's overtime interception. On December 7, this was ruled an interception on the field. Replay review overturned it to a catch. NFL V.P. of instant replay Mark Butterworth defended the decision in a pool report. By January 17, the standard changed.
I have never seen a contested catch like this ever be called anything but a catch. Even as a DB you know that if it’s even a Tie it will go to the WR. Can’t believe this decided the game.
Whatever the right side of the call may be, I cannot believe there was not an extended review. The NFL will sit on the most pointless review you've ever seen weekly, but not this one?
The whole thing smelled. Even after Sean McDermott called timeout, the review seemed very rushed. It was an incredibly close call. Shouldn't have happened that fast. The league's developed a trust issue with its fans with this stuff.
