National Football League [NFL]
Reviews and Complaints

What the refs just did again for the Green Bay Packers on national TV is a disgrace. I have been a fan for years. This year, I am done. Unless you do something about the quality of reffing you choose to employ, I will strive to spite your 'product' as much as I can. I will do all that is within my power to get people to stop supporting you. This is all your product is worth now.

The refs should all be fired. In the Texans v Chiefs divisional round game, the chiefs got multiple double scores (one was a triple, for 20 points along with the extra point) and the chiefs received the first and second half kickoffs. When the Texans were on offense, a DEFENSIVE pass interference was called, but the Texans moved back 20 yards! Just cancel the playoffs and hire new officials. The are absolutely horrible at their jobs.

You need to change the ridiculous rule that allows a team that is just lucky to win a damn coin toss to start ot to win the game if they score a td and other team doesn't get a chance to tie the score

Unfair and stupid. Change the damn rule. Giants lost few weeks ago to eagles wo a chance on offense n saints just list wild card game wo chance to tie td vikings scored. Unfair

I am not a buffalo fan, but the helmet to helmet calls throughout the lesson is less than what I just witnessed. I am watching the buffalo Texan game and from overtime xoi. Toss all calls would come from reviews. I call [censored]. Poor buffalo never gets the calls. This game should have not gone into overtime. Since when do we assume what a player is thinking. Buffalo should have have been awarded the touchdown on the punt, you HAVE to kneel the ball. [censored]!

The refs this season have been terrible. So many teams have been losing games they should have won. They call what doesn't happen but never call what does happen. They need to get their eyes checked and the people up stairs need to get fired. They can't make a good call and obviously can't see things in slow motion. So many people couldn't stand this season of football and it's all because of the refs. They don't make the games fair like how they are paid to do and they don't keep people safe. This season was absolute crap and hope the next one is better.

2019 will go down in the minds of fans around the league as the year that the officials, and their yes man in NY, decided the outcome of games rather than the teams and players. Thus the officials have ultimately decided which teams make the playoffs, and if this continues, (there is no reason to think it won't) which team wins the super bowl. (I didn't capitalize because this one is already tarnished.) If this kind of thing continues, fans will believe the final outcome has been decided before the first game of the season is played. When that happens, the NFL will be a thing of the past and some other thing or another league will take its place as always happens when an organization becomes complacent.

NFL,
How is it possible that the NFL would even let a monster such as Michael Vick continue to play much less condone and honor this inhumane waste who actually enjoyed torturing his dogs. "What Vick did was not simple dogfighting.

Picture your dog or your friends dog tossed to a couple of animals trained to fight for humans. Imagine that animal screaming as it is being ripped apart and having its throat ripped out. Imagine the person that tossed that helpless animal to the other animals just laughing as it occurs and later admitting he thought it was funny. That person who tossed the animals to the others is Michael Vick.

Imagine taking a bucket used to hold water, filling it with water, and holding a dogs head in it until it drowns while it stands on land.

Have you ever thought of the image of hanging a dog? He did that too. He also picked them up over his head before slamming them downward on concrete at his full force over and over.

Imagine the blunt force trauma that dog felt as it hit concrete over and over from not dying the first time.

He also attached jumper cables to their ears and tossed them in a pool to electrocute them.

This is not about dogfighting. That has become a separate issue. The acts in dogfighting are disgusting and reprehensible. What Vick did was to take it one step further and find a way to legitimately torture dogs like a horror movie.

He does NOT deserve to be honored."
The NFL has many more wonderful individuals that are using their platform for amazing causes. Google My Cause My Cleats. Google about Warrick Dunn. Google about so many others.

Vick does NOT deserve to be honored.
Please don't support him and give him a reward. Stop and think about all his victims that suffered so much.
Sincerely, Bonnie Wong-Harano

Why are you having the chiefs play at 1 and steelers and titans game at 4:25?This flex scheduling is unfair to steelers and raiders for seeding purposes. The Texans may quit or rest starters now thanks to this schedule if kc happens to beat chargers which is highly probable.Nfl is obligated to make the games as fair as possible not give titans special treatment. Please correct this problem by making all these games at same time in the name of fairness.thank you scott

I have been a fan of the patriots since geno capaletti and babe perelli were playing now you billionaires want me to buy nfl channel to watch my favorite team play I am retired and on a fixed income and cannot pay for this service you have gotten my last dime I will do my best to never purchase any nfl merchandise or anything related to this league owned by billionaires

Dear sir/ madam,

I am writing as I was disgusted to learn you are honouring that piece of garbage Michael Vick. How can your organisation honour a man that enjoys torturing and murdering animals for fun? You may suggest he has paid for these crimes, personally I feel that he will never pay for them, you learn to live with the guilt and spend your days trying to make up for your actions, but the scales will never be balanced. Through honouring him, you are saying what he has done is okay. He needs to spend 'years' proving he has changed, before he will be worthy of receiving any award. Basically it comes across as you are giving him a consolation prize, to make up for the minute amount of suffering he went through in paying for his crimes. You should honour somebody worthy of this award. Not somebody that would watch a child or an animal drown and take a selfie of it happening, all whilst laughing, to enjoy again at a later date. Shame on your organisation for supporting him.

Regards
Miss Nunn

Shame on the NFL for honoring Michael Vick as a Pro Bowl captain, despite the petition with over 500, 000 signatures imploring against it. Pro Bowl captains historically have been outstanding athletes and role models. Michael Vick is neither. It is unbelievable that Commissioner Goodell thinks Vick "has paid a heavy price." His prison sentence was woefully inadequate for the torture he levied against helpless animals. His participation in the crimes is well documented. Even if Goodell thinks justice has been served, his past behavior was reprehensible. Michael Vick is not a hero. He's not a role model, and he has no place in the spotlight today. I implore the NFL to listen to its fans and supporters and reverse this decision immediately.

I've watched the greatest game on earth for 50 years. I understand time brings about a change, rules, athletes, game approach. The list goes on and on. I also am aware of players safety and the league needs to protect its players, but! What im witnessing is a total lack of fundamentals, hey, maybe this isnt a league issue, maybe its no big deal, but! I have to mention this if nobody else will (if they haven't already) what has happened to the art of tackling! Isn't it still tackle football? Im not talking about jack tatum like hits. Im talking about fundamental hitting and wrapping, do they practice this technique anymore? Or is it a thing of the past? Arm tackling oh my god, grabbing jerseys? Attempting to tackle derrick henry at chest level? Can we please get back to the basics... Please!

As an NFL team owner - I am a shareholder of the Green Bay Packers - I am disgusted that the NFL could not only allow a federal criminal like MIchael VIck to be named to the Pro Bowl, but submit him as a team captain. My family and I have spent upwards of $100, 000 attending Packers games, and we will always love and support our team.

But supporting the NFL as a whole now goes against everything we hold dear and moral, everything we have taught our children aboutn the human condition and basic decency.

Your viewership sunk during and after the kneelers protesting during the National Anthem. And it will continue to sink when you not only allow someone such as Vick to be presented on the Pro Bowl team, but you condone and exalt him as a model to young people. He's no model. He's not reformed. His family is still very active in dog fighting.

You embarrass us all with this very poor choice.

As a longtime fan of the NFL I am ashamed to even call myself a fan. The outrage that is felt with Michael Vick as a Pro Bowl Captain is beyond description. This is an outrage to the public and all the animals that suffered at his hand, without remorse for his actions. This complaint will only be resolved by his removal. The betrayal felt by all animal activists and pet lovers is astonishing. The NFL should consider selecting someone other than a convicted dog fighter. Choose someone who is doing good things for kids, families, or anything other than someone who only brought shame upon himself. Society does not celebrate murderers, or those who have abused and maimed the helpless, and neither should the NFL.
The NFL's selection of Michael Vick should lead to an adjustment to some moral compasses of those who are in charge of nominations.

Hello,

This will most likely go unread or discarded but I feel I owe it to all the other NFL teams out there besides the New England Patriots and their latest scandal. Their recent allocations are now public. What protocol are you going to take, just stick them with another fine or take away one of their draft pics? Why don't you make a statement and stop turning your head. It's laid out in the NFL rules that video taping is prohibited. The Patriots did this with the Jets.

The "Game Operations Manual" states that "no video recording devices of any kind are permitted to be in use in the coaches' booth, on the field, or in the locker room during the game." The manual states that "all video shooting locations must be enclosed on all sides with a roof overhead." NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from a New England video assistant on the Patriots' sideline when it was suspected he was recording the Jets' defensive signals. Taping any signals is prohibited.

I hope you make the right choice and be more disciplined.

A concerned dedicated NFL fan.

There are plenty of wonderful, talented players in the NFL who are upstanding community members and citizens who did not hang, electrocute, torture, and kill our domesticated animal friends. Why are you HONORING him? Why not just let this POS fade off into obscurity? he has his money and is set for life. Other athletes have been scorned and spurned for so much less. You do not need to exalt him and it's oddly worrisome that you're so fascinated in rehabilitating this idiot when he has never shown remorse for what he did, despite knowing it was wrong.

It's a sad day when you are hell bent as an org to bring a man down for wanting to express his personal beliefs that hurt no one, but you bend over backwards to honor this loser.

I no longer support the NFL until you retract this egregious error in judgment.

It is atrocious that the NFL is going to provide any honoring or compliment to a man who committed such horrible and heinous acts to animals for fun and profit. I am a season ticket holder and I'm really getting tired of the NFL getting everything wrong! You don't protect players who commit domestic violence, you do not honor individuals who commit heinous acts, you do not encourage political statements and grandstands while I'm paying for entertainment, you don't see nearly as many mistakes made by other sports leagues. I am almost at my limit with this debauchery, you honor Vick and I'm looking for a new sport to invest my money into! Simple as that, you have a right run things as you wish and I have a right to spend my money where I wish.

The bottom line is this - When you make a conscious decision to torture another living creature simply for your own amusement, you have crossed a line that can never be uncrossed. And when you make the conscious decision to summarily execute by means most foul those creatures who failed to properly amuse you while you were torturing them, for my money you have lost your seat at the banquet that is America's celebrity bounty. - Author Jamie FitzGerald

Why would we put a convicted felon and calloused animal abuser/murderer in a position of "Captain" for the ProBowl? Just like every other criminal, he should go away...and most certainly should not be held in high regard by any organization.

The NFL is sabotaging the career of a peaceful vegan protestor (Colin Kaepernick) while holdIng in high regard, a convicted felon and violent killer.

The public is watching. The NFL is a joke.

The officials in the Chiefs vs Patriots game have missed so many calls and have got multiple completely wrong for both sides. The worst officiating I have seen in the 23 years of my life. These refs need to be fined or fired. Clearly something with betting going on with the officials. This is embarrassing. They are ruining your ratings. Also, the fights and insane nasty late hits are not being called. You are putting players at risk. All of this can lead to loss of viewers and multiple law suits. Save yourselves and fix this immediately!
