Pay the fine and keep talking. Players and coaches need to start saying the quiet part out loud: NFL officiating is shit.

You know, before yesterday’s game I was in the “keep your mouth shut, Puka!” camp. But after what we saw from the refs last night-I am also in the say the quiet part out loud camp.
NFL officiating is the one of, if not the worst in all of professional sports. Get ‘em Puka.
Yeah ..... So when is the NFL fucking gonna finally do something about the officiating issues?
Ignore it and just keep fining the guys that make up this league, like they've been doing for years ?
How does that improve and promote the NFL product?
Not surprised. The league protects the refs like they're the president of the US. You want to make the refs more accountable? Make them be available for interviews after a game like the coaches have to. If they had to explain why they make the calls they do they would try a lot harder to get it right. And be fair about it. I don't think there's any question personal opinions about coaches, players and teams affect their decisions.

They set up the review and grading system and they issue reports weekly but so fucking what when there is no actual accountability or no ability to correct their fuck-ups.
Much as I would love to see it, no commissioner is going to nullify last night's result and have them complete the game from the point of the errant call(s)/decision.
The illegal man down field from the one yard line was terrible
Agreed, the kicker is they have replay assist and could have gotten it right. But you know...that would make too much sense.
They sure did use that assisted replay to give the Seahawks a free 2 points
The NFL is so weak and pathetic for fining players and coaches for criticizing the officiating. Governments don’t censor people because they are strong, they do it because they are weak and fear what will be said about them.
Same with the NFL.
And the fact that they levy fines for this just makes it look like they are trying to sweep shit under the rug.

I've got $50 for that fine.
Fuck Goodells NFL.
The day that man is finally gone will be a good one. The NFL under Paul Tagliabue wasn't perfect, but protecting the legitimacy of the game obviously meant more to him than raw revenue alone.
Goodell is just a CEO and the owners are the shareholders. Zero concern for anything other than ever-increasing revenue in-the-now. They've been strip-mining this game for all its worth for 25 years and it's only thanks to the long-standing tradition of NFL fans raising families and new generations of emotionally (and financially) invested fans that the NFL hasn't fallen off greatly under their rule.
Gambling + Goodell will absolutely leave the game looking like "pro-wrestling" if the fans and especially the current and former players and coaches dont get out front and center and bring the necessary attention to this shit.
Also: God Bless Puka Nacua.

Puka is the best WR in the NFL by a country mile. He may have been a little naive but you can see he’s a good kid. All is good.

It was literally one of the worst calls I have ever seen.
That type of illegal blocking downfield has probably never been called in the history of the NFL.
Curious as to how having Dedich 1 yard beyond the neutral zone gave the Rams an advantage. Much like players are programmed to recognize a dead ball when a whistle sounds, officials are trained to flag when there is a clear advantage or disadvantage that is a foul. Otherwise, there’d be a flag on every play.
Looking at the play, did Seattle try to cover or account for Dedich instead of an eligible receiver? No.
Did Dedich block his man downfield on a pass play? No.
Did Dedich move downfield to block a defender such as on a screen play? No.
If it didn’t create an advantage or disadvantage, why was it flagged as a foul?
And by the rules he should have been fined. It's a shame more players and coaches aren't more vocal bout the crap officiating weekly in the league. If more were like Puka maybe something would get done about it.
The only thing owners understand is money. They will do nothing but fine players and coaches unless the flow of money is threatened. And nobody is going to boycott them.
