Ball intentionally batted out of the end zone on that touchback...

ESPN Radio is all over it this morning. The NFL is getting worse to watch every year, it's all scripted and the whole thing is a joke. I read an article that said if sports betting was outlawed, the NFL will lose 60-70% of it's viewers. That says it all.

. His action didn't prevent Detroit from recovering it, it was going out of bounds anyway. Did he "bat" the ball, 50/50.

The ball isn't round so there was a very good chance it could have bounced backwards or to the right or to the left.

Did he "bat" the ball??? 100% he did.

Its a stupid rule IMO but there is no doubt whatsoever that there should have been a flag thrown. Based on the rule.

Yeah, he batted it. Now that I see it again from that angle. Sucky way to lose.

Pretty bad when the referee boss Blandino says he saw it and the referee got it wrong, and yet they do nothing to fix an obvious error.

Billion dollar league of ineptness that continues to have a product that gets worse each year.

It is the only reason the league is popular.

Yet when gambling gets brought up, the Nfl can't run fast enough.

If you guys don't think the refs have a lot of influence in a game, you shouldn't be betting football.

The NFL refs love Seattle.......we seen it several years ago vs Gbay on Monday night & we seen it last night.

IMO, players have 80% control of the game & refs 20%
