It was a super obvious penalty, and took a step away from Johnson and prevented him from jumping for the ball. Easy call.

Except for the game changing INT where the Bucs CB ripped the jersey off the WRs shoulder pads.
There was definitely a jersey grab on the INT, but you could literally see the jersey come a foot off the Bucs receiver here. It’s pretty impossible to miss no matter what angle you see it from.

NFL is a joke. I'm out. Not watching tonight or the superbowl.

They need to clean up the officiating. Worse than watching peewee.

And I was rooting for Brady
The no calls earlier should have pissed you off, not that.

Nobody cares if the flag is late if it’s right. That’s the right call.
This is typical officiating BS. Of course the call was right but they hadn’t called it all game. Was the flag “right” when it was not thrown on TB when they were holding Adams on 3rd down?

That's a liberal definition of catchable.
If it's in the field of play and near someone it'll never be called uncatchable. They won't even rule something uncatchable if it's 20 yards out of bounds over someone's head, they'll just call illegal contact or holding instead.

The Bucs got a great whistle tonight, yes that pull is a DPI by the book, but they let it go for 3.9 quarters, then call it there?

The best part of the behind replay is that shows the guy grabbed the jersey initially... then switched hands and grabbed it again with his other hand. I mean maybe you give him the first grab where he stretched the shirt all the way out, but then he goes and grabs it again with the other hand? You earned taht flag.

Aikman said you couldn't write this story? TB was considered a decent bet all season to make the Super Bowl, as these things go.

Green Bays coaches should be fired...they kept the game with the inexcusable defensive call at the end of the first half, to ny for two stupidly and then kicking a field goal.

They were only in the game because Arians is also a shitty coach.

Aikman suggesting the flag is questionable because it’s late is monstrously stupid.

He’s had just a brutal game.
Why?
if you see a penalty you throw the flag. If an official waits five seconds after the fact, I would think the correct assumption would be to question why that’s the case and to wonder if they were influenced by something beyond what they saw in real time.

I have never understood the "let them play" mentality... what does not calling obvious penalties have to do with a good game. It just means you are deciding a game just by not calling penalties.

Well, at least Rodgers got a few more excuses for failing to reach the SB. Again.
