Too little too late go fuck yourself NFL. Officiating crew should be fined and suspended and never work a Rams game or a playoff game again.

Exactly. Lets start with their suspension and docking their pay. Maybe that gets their attention. Otherwise it doesn't help us at all.
Before that play, I thought that the refs were already helping the home team/ the team that was down.
I was frustrated at the penalties called.
I was trying to tell myself that they want a closer game.
That call. Wow.
I'm sure that very soon, a corrupt ref (betting??) will be exposed

The grey area rules that the NFL purposely created to exploit penalties during every game, from bs holding calls to pass interference allows certain games to be played in a certain way that optimizes viewer's and fan's TV ratings. It's really not much more than what the WWE does to create "excitement". Yeah, it's fake. But who cares as long as your team is in the hunt for the playoffs.
100%. This is how I interpret what happened as well. The key to the whole play is Bryant's right hand tugging onto the shoulder pad. Followed by the 'flop'.
The referee behind the play had an obstructed view and couldn't see the 'pull' from Bryant. So after the 'flop', that ref was tricked into calling a 'push' on Wallace.
The key should have been the other ref (the one in FRONT of the play, who should have seen the Bryant pull). He should have initiated a LONG conference on this one.
And all the dipshits online arguing that it was a legit PI can get fucked…respectfully, of course.

In real time it is easy to be fooled by a flop. The game moves fast. I am not mad they threw a flag. Easy to get duped there. I am mad they did not huddle and pick it up. Or that nobody buzzed down to have them take another look. If they can do that after the famous Seattle 2 point conversion, why not on this play? Why are we picking the choosing? Especially when the 2 point conversion was hardly obvious. This was.
NFL needs to make intentional flopping a 15 yard penalty with a loss of down, and a fine to follow. That will stomp it out real fast.

So......Vinovich is #1?
100% agree with this as well.
IMO this was NOT an obvious play at first glance. Quite honestly I had to watch this play several times in slo-mo before I could figure out what the hell was REALLY going on.
Lots of people correctly pointed out that there WAS indeed contact between Wallace's left hand and Bryant's torso. And given the way Bryant's body "flailed" after that contact, it's easy to understand why the assumption would be that Wallace somehow caused it.
It was only after watching a careful slo-mo of Bryant's "pull and flop" that I could see it was definitely a fake job. Some devious shit.
Refs make some bad mistakes. But on this particular play the main problem was Bryant's skilled acting job. Yes, the refs should have caught it, but it wasn't easy to see in real time.
Yes, I have seen some of these dipshits. Aggravating. Some STILL think it was DPI. They are objectively wrong. They don't understand ball well enough to figure out a "flop."
I'm glad Belicheat is out of coaching...he'd use this play as a freaking "how to" video for his WR's.

From behind the players maybe it was hard to see if there was any defensive contact but the flop was obvious.
On the other side there was a 0% chance the ref in front of the players didn’t have a clear unobstructed view showing no defensive interference. He was less than 10 yards from them with the best angle anywhere on the field.
Bad calls are baked into the equation for league profits. The bottom line is the bottom line. Idiots line up for merch and 500 dollar tickets.
I’ve seen probably a dozen media reviews of the play and everyone of them said the Rams got robbed.
So of course the NFL has to admit it.
The league needs to break through the excuses and make every flag challengable. Its a stsrt.

Florio and Chris Simms did. What an embarrassment for them.
The call was so blatant that there is no other explanation other than it was purposeful. Also where the hell was NY on the hotline. We've seen those fucks jump in before in other games. This was a fuckin prime time game and a massively important matchup between two playoff level rosters.
It's a bad enough call that I think the fucker who threw the flag should be fired.
