Bad officiating is becoming as commonplace in the NFL as ever. But when the calls are predominantly one-sided, it's no longer a fair fight on the football field by any stretch of the imagination.

Are the Philadelphia Eagles a very good team? Absolutely. Did Philly earn a victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3?

Well, let's tap the brakes on that one for just a minute.

From Pro Football Talk to Fox Sports, the cries of foul officiating are reaching an internet crescendo. This was not a poorly officiated game. This was a game that continues to yield more and more evidence of a fixed outcome, and the referees in the game were the fixers.

It's telling that Fox Sports, the broadcasters of the game, are leading the charge in pointing out the missed penalties:

The video footage is clear and irrefutable evidence of a false start that was never penalized.

But don't worry. Almost every Tush Push play bakes in false starts, yet the NFL simply refuses to call the penalty.

Yet the high-profile play is controversial for more than uncalled penalties.

More proof surfaces of how refs screwed Rams in Week 3

The Tush Push is a difficult play to officiate because so much happens simultaneously. The play continues because the quarterback is surrounded by offensive linemen and running backs, essentially shielding him from would-be tacklers.

Rate the Refs detected another failure of the referees. In this play, quarterback Jalen Hurts has the football stripped from his hands by linebacker Jared Verse. Unfortunately, the fumble was never confirmed by the referee, and Philly retained possession.

Rate the Refs caught the non-called pass interference on wide receiver Puka Nacua, too, as well as his so-called taunting.

Most fans fall into the category of understanding that blown calls eventually even out over the course of a season. But, when all of the bad calls go in favor of one team, that's more than a little suspicious. And many of the NFL fans who supported the Tush Push in the past now find themselves strongly opposed to the play.

The evidence is undeniable and compelling. Even if Philadelphia has honest intentions, the play has become nightmarish. But Philly shows every indication of bending the rules on every play.

The Tush Push is not longer a football play. It's a cheat code that needs to be abolished.

As always, thanks for reading.
