Gotta love this. Good thing the latest complete botch job by the officials didn't cost a team that is in contention, I guess.

[Ravenshine]

Since refs are making so many mistakes...they should let coaches challenge the final score after the fact. This would only apply in very rare cases...such as this one. If the NFL determined the game was over before facemask, then correct the error. End score 20-19 Ravens.

Im a little mad still they didnt get the snap off in time but at this point i'll be happy if we get a high draft pick and get hargreaves or a really great receiver if steve smith sr retires

[RavensBaltimore]

The refs also cost us the game against Oakland, and probably against Arizona as well. We should be 5-4, or 4-5 at worst. If the games were called accurately this year, the Ravens would be a playoff team, or at least have a pretty good chance at getting in. Sometimes you have to overcome an unfair disadvantage and win anyway, and this year's team has obviously not been able to get that done.

Whatever. That's been the storyline thru-out the season. The team as it is sucks. I sure hoping the org doesn't use excuses during the draft. I'll reserve that for some of the fan base. Maturation hopefully rears its head during some point in this abysmal season. If it's an anomaly which I doubt then Ozzie and the fO office should be safe. But it's trending like it isn't. A change in draft strategy and or leadership should start because it's never been more apparent. The teams crying, the fans are are in shock, and I'm not buying anymore excuses. In a everyday world a ceo would be fired for such a poor performance with the shareholder citing the lack of dividends and profit margin in lieu of the investment and projections that were forecast. lol

[Cuse92]

Sure NFL, the toothpaste is outta the tube now. Might as well admit you fouled it up...again. Hey, while you're at it, why don't you just admit this entire season is a con job against Baltimore (and Indy) for leaving you with egg on your face regarding Deflategate?!!! Since you suspended the world's biggest cheater and a federal judge overruled it, now you've decided that the teams who purportedly brought it to the league's attention must be punished. Got it. Awful big of ya to admit your officials are worthless and inept--after the fact. Smdh. Quality product, Shield.

There should be accountability for the mistakes these idiots make. There is way too much at stake for such amateurish officiating. In cases like this, where the play was clearly dead and nothing else was going to happen, it should be easy to reverse it. This should be discussed in the off-season when they review the rules.

[ravens4life86]

Another Apology. I know its atleast the second one the nfl cost the Ravens this year. smh!

4-5 would be nice... To bad NFL is a joke league

[Minionhunter]

So since it was literally the last play with no time left, the NFL can correct the mistake and give the Ravens the win. Do it.

[DenverRaven]

Gotta love this. Good thing the latest complete botch job by the officials didn't cost a team that is in contention, I guess.

 

Oh, give it a few weeks. It won't be us, but someone is going to lose a playoff position, or worse, a post-season game because of their incompetence.

 

They'll apologize the next day, and all will be well.

didnt even notice that. but what else is new...

[crazyboutravens]

I do not agree with John on this one. If you don't care about the officiating it will never get

any better it will only get worse if that is possible. I feel like the Ravens have been targeted

by officials. I wish CBS would show all the penalties that are called their broadcast. The other

thing I think is being overlooked is I think they spotted the ball incorrectly on the last play

I think they gave them 5 extra yards.

[ravens4life86]

2 blown calls for us, a blown call in detroit vs seattle game(kicked ball), I know there was another game time wasnt taken off clock. Theres been atleast 10 games where refs decided games on blown calls or blatent missed calls..

Like the NFL IS FIXED!

If NFL doesnt fix officiating next year Im done. Cause I believe more then ever the league is FIXED.

Funny how...none of the officiating blunders never happen in a cheatriots game.. Almost like NFL wants to market Tom Shady redemption story after they threw him under the bus...

Totally FIXED

[TheRavengers]

The correct response to this announcement from the NFL is "DUUHHHH!"

[Minionhunter]

In other words. NFL says Ravens actually won yesterday but despite the fixable error they won't fix the mistake.

[Ugly Ball]

I guess it's a good thing no one puts any bets on these games,

and it's just a lowly 2 and 6 Ravens team!

Things like this could actually piss off people that really care !

[Ravenshine]

They should pay refs with Monopoly money cause it's as real as their penalty calls.

Mr. Commissioner... Turn it over...

[Bigjon5477]

The league is always erring in Ravens Games. Maybe it's time for something to be done about it. Players get penalized and or fined for mistakes so why shouldn't officials get the same? Harbaugh knew the snap didn't go off right.

[JoshRaven7273]

Despite the Ravens mistakes its not fair that teams play their heart out just to lose at the hands of the refs. I'm starting to think that the NFL has it out for the ravens because of DEFLATEGATE acusations???????

[crazyboutravens]

Steve you are an owner. GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. If you don't care and John doesn't care then why

bother being in the league. Only answer to that is maybe you know what fans only think, The Game

is Fixed.This crap has gone on all year.

[Dorota]

I do not agree with John on this one. If you don't care about the officiating it will never get any better it will only get worse if that is possible.

The other thing I think is being overlooked is I think they spotted the ball incorrectly on the last play I think they gave them 5 extra yards.

In a way I agree with you, but what should he say? Ravens should have been good enough to win by a better margin. I'm sure the Ravens will file a complaint, regardless of what Harbs says to the media. And upon reading this, I'm having a bad case of sour grapes. Just give Ravens a break! They haven't been playing great this year, but they haven't been playing as awful as the record either.

[20306cab]

Wait, John Eisenberg said they were set and the refs were perfect on every call, so the NFL is wrong again!

[The Mom Gene]

The inconsistencies, and the game determining calls have to stop. The NFL better get a handle on it.

[Minionhunter]

They won't change it because of Vegas, the real power behind the NFL throne.

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

I am just tired of hearing how if the refs were doing their job we would have won. The Ravens need to win big enough were a blown call by the refs cant really affect the outcome of the game.

[mettro79]

Too little too late. This isn't the first time this year that we've been the victims of poor officiating. It seems like this year bad calls have been more worse for us than anybody else. What do we get other than apologies from the NFL after the fact!? I think an extra draft pick should be put on the table:)

[Tank 92]

just continues the theme of the 2015 Ravens season. If it can go wrong, you can bet that it will.

[TheRavengers]

Really hate how officiating determines the results of games more and more as the years go on.
