Al Michaels Spoke For NFL Fans Everywhere Last Night - He’s Fed Up With These Pathetic Refs Ruining Games, Flags Every Single Play

We all saw what happened during the game last night. We know the story. Another Thursday night game with no flow, big plays called back because of penalties, injuries to stars and refs being fucking clueless. Seriously, please be okay Malik Nabers. You're our only hope on offense. Now, I'm never one to blame refs. I'm never one to say rigged. BUT, someone explain this to me: 

Just to prove a point, here's the other angle showing more of a hands to the face on the Cowboys: 

How the FUCK do you screw up this call? This isn't a judgement call, this isn't a bang-bang play. This is simply being so wrong that it set the tone for the night. 

Sure, it cost the Giants having 1st down at the 17 and having a ton of momentum. Hey, it's not like the refs picked up a flag on a touchdown score the next possession for the Cowboys. 

Think they said it was actually ineligible man downfield in the postgame. Either way, pathetic. But not as pathetic as ruining the game because we can't just watch football. Allow Al Michales to speak for every NFL fan: 

I know Al Michaels isn't what he once was. I know people talk about him losing his fastball. But this is when he's at his best. When he doesn't give a shit what people think and can just tee off on refs like the rest of us fans. Again, it makes no sense. Every week we have a game that's just filled with flags. Quarterbacks can underthrow a receiver and it's a bigger benefit than putting it on the numbers because it's pass interference 99% of the time. Refs decide to call holding to start the game and then stop and then do it again on a pivotal play. The product is bad and it starts with the reffing. I don't blame these players for having no idea what's a penalty anymore, no one does. Shout out Al for hammering the refs all night and distracting me from the Giants kicking a field goal from the goddamn 3-yard line.
