Just a heads up - Sarah Thomas is working the Browns/WFT game this weekend. The last time she worked a Browns/WFT game, she made one of the worst calls I have ever seen in a professional football game:

It'll be a refreshing change to have a ref that is bad at their job and accidentally making the Browns lose, instead of purposely making the Browns lose. naughtydevil

Creating built in excuses before the game even starts is so "Browns fan" of you.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I know it's college but,
Kansas State was about to go up 10, up 3 with 1:20 to go in the 4th vs. Oklahoma, and Kansas State had all the momentum the last 3 drives on O, and the last 2 or more on D.

The Refs suddenly got all whistle happy against the Kansas State offense, questionable calls to set up giving the ball back to Oklahoma,

Kansas State still almost got a first down needing a Ton, on 2 plays, and 4th and short, I wondered why they didn't go for it,
but they were on their own side of the field,

Kansas State still won the game, interception, (they had had so much momentum), but the refs: ... helped Oklahoma,

Calls that helped keep the game, "up for grabs" even with less than 5 minutes to play in the game, so nobody would turn off the broadcast.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

SwearToGod: I read that matcup as: "Browns/WTF."


Football: in 2020.

I wondered from the beginning if that was the intent when they changed they "temporally" changed the name. Snyder is a jerk.

I’ll be honest, I’ve thought AT LEAST a dozen times over the past few years: Man, that official had a terrible mark, made a terrible call, etc ... and lo and behold, it was Sarah Thomas.

I know all refs make mistakes, but she’s gotta be the worst official in the NFL. I know they can never fire her, but I’d love to see her actual grading from the NFL

Sarah Thomas is not even in the same league as Walt Coleman on screwing over the Browns.

Walt probably did it on purpose ... she’s just inept

I didn't see her make a bad call this game. Still can't stand her for that fumble call.

Definitely a well called game!

We definitely have less holding calls this year so far!

And the only bad call went in our favor, that was a pretty cheap offensive PI call on McLaurin. But I'll take it.

Overall, a decent game. She needs to worry more about the game infant of her. Not the best, and has some upside for improvement. Not sure she was ready yet. Only way to improve is get more games.

I wish her success. Has to be daunting, I bet.

Any new ump, official, or ref will make mistakes. I KNOW that from personal experience. And like you said, the more experience, generally the better you get. I've lived that also.

I can agree. Let those without blemish cast the first flag. I am thankful for every zebra-person I ver railed against for being an official and agreeing to take on the insanity.


A fair response, Arch.
Let's win some more games.
