So I lost access to my other account @DerekJTyson on April 16th. No idea why. 2-step verification failed, password reset didn’t work. Twitter says they can’t verify the only email address I’ve ever used for this app. Give me a follow for my subpar sports takes

The only calls that go against the Texans are like obvious procedural penalties or like a hold on punt returns where it doesn’t really affect the game. None of the game changing calls go against the Texans. Not one.
First half misses that stand out to me. All my opinions. 1. “Holding” on Jaguars TD Run. Egregious. No hold and flag was thrown after TD run by deep official with worst angle. 2. DPI call on deep pass at end of half. Didn’t see it, gave Houston 1st and goal at 1. 3. Holding on #4 CB for Jaguars. Didn’t see anything there. 4. No DPI on incomplete pass by Houston on second to last play of half. Really rough half and most of these misses have really gone against Jacksonville.

More like @NFL refs inflicted wounds
Jaguars have 199 yards of offense with 6:47 to play first half. Self-inflicted wounds taken at least 6 more points off the scoreboard.

This! The @NFL should Have the greatest product on the planet and they ruin it by throwing 15-20 penalties a game. At some point let them play.
OMGoodness, we have to get rid of all these RZ defensive penalties!!! Let the defense play a little ball - it’s become almost automatic down there, changing every game - make the offense earn it!!

Do you not know football? At no point did he yank him down. He chopped his arm down which caused him to lose his balance.
Replying to @_DTyson
This is called yanking the player to the ground.

This is actually borderline concerning. Flag comes out AFTER the TD and from the Deep Official?? Line Judge has perfect look and lets it go. This is an insanely bad call and cost the Jaguars 7 points. Completely changes the game. @NFLOfficiating this is becoming a game integrity issue.
#Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten just lost a TD because the refs called Brenton Strange for holding on a play he didn't hold. 🤦‍♂️

AN ALL-TIME BAD CALL: #Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten just had a touchdown wiped off the board after the refs called TE Brenton Strange for holding on a play where he appeared to do nothing wrong. The next play Houston picked off Jacksonville. Unbelievable 😳

The Jags can’t win. I mean seriously, it’s the Jags against the Texans and the Refs. Just no chance

This!!!! @NFL
Strange gets called for a phantom hold on a TD that more than 95% of objective viewers would say is not a hold. Jaguars throw a pick right after. The league could consider making all TD play called penalties reviewable. Also could have a threshold where a penalty play that reaches a large enough EPA or win probability change could be reviewed.

It continues in the @NFL Sunday morning.
Miami/FSU 1) Terrible holding call 2) Miami defender is still grasping for the ball with his left hand over the top of the FSU WRs hands. That was an FSU TD. FSU got hosed. Also…that was PI at the end of ND/BYU. Have to throw a flag there. Refs affecting way too many game changing plays tonight.

The more I watch @NFL games, the more I’m convinced some of the refs are involved in illegal gambling. It’s every week. That in no way was a hold and it cost the Jags 7 points. It’s inexcusable

Liam Coen has to lead all of football, at any level or any year, in points left on the field. Has an elite kicker and just refuses to use him.

Couple of things that upset me about this A) it’s not holding. He chops his arm down and he lost his balance B) this is very important. Holding is only supposed to be called if it could effect the play. The DE is double teamed and the ball is gone at the time of the “holding”. He’s nowhere near the QB. Just an all time bad call. It’s an official looking to be part of the game.
This was the holding call that brought back FSU's miracle catch in the end zone... Did they make the right call?

This is not a hold. Ever
Florida State got robbed. Left Tackle just traps the rusher’s long arm and gets called for a holding. TD is wiped off the board

This. Unreal
Refs should be arrested for what they just did to the Florida State Seminoles.

I love how ESPN/ABC just glanced over that FSU “holding” call. That’s a terrible terrible call.
