**** OFFICIAL Refs you SUCK thread ****

[TLO]

I think we can all agree NFL officiating has been BAD this year. How does the NFL fix this?

[scho63]

BAD, is so kind to what we have witnessed.

It may be the worst in my history of watching the NFL.

That false start call on the Lions before the half totally changed the game... I have the Lions -3.5 and calls like that will wreck the league. They need to fix this shit, it was as bad as it can be this year.

[New World Order]

I remember all the bitching about the replacement refs years ago.

They’re just as bad

[scho63]

The dramatic inconsistency of what is a penalty and what is not or what is a catch and what is not or what is a fumble or what is not is impossible to gauge from game to game.

They fact that a defensive back from Green Bay could jump on the back of a Kansas City Chiefs receiver 2 seconds before the ball arrived and tackled him to the ground with no penalty told me all I had to know for the 2024 season.

Can't call a PI in that scenario because the pass was to MVS and therefore it was deemed uncatchable.

There were abysmal calls in all of the playoff games this weekend and these are supposed to be the best of the best crews. What I don’t understand is why they don’t let an “eye in the sky” overturn what’s called on the field when it’s clearly wrong (the horse collar tackle or the false start that wasn’t today). It may not allow for judgement calls like the Taylor block in the back to be overturned but a lot of bad calls (Rice not getting the first down, etc) like these would be fixed nearly instantly if the league could buzz the refs and tell them they’re wrong whenever they’re wrong.

The USFL did that.

It was awesome.

There really needs to be a booth official who can override the obvious inexcusable blunders committed by the idiots on the field.

But that will never happen.

Some kind of remote taser attached to their caps that the booth can trigger to drop them on the spot and overturn the F up

ARAB???

The rest of the post is just sad and awfully stupid. It is a game. It shouldn't be taken thst serious. People, fans, need to grow the **** up and find a real life if the outcome of one game or call can affect them like that.

It isn't a game. It is a business.

That is why fans shouldn't take it seriously but when folks are spending and betting thousands of dollars; reason disappears.

[New World Order]

That was an obvious PI

[TLO]

I think a logical first step is having full time officials. The NFL can afford to pay a group of men/women that aren't lawyers and librarians or whatever who only do this part time.
