Yeah, it's bad... and getting worse. Even the media is making a stink now.

Bottom line is (and the media folks have said as much), it's a business. And, if the refs can "manage" the scores to make the league (bets) money, then that's what's going to happen.

Members here have outlined ways the NFL could improve officiating. If we can do it, they certainly can. But they don't... why?

$$$$$$ is right, look at what great officiating is doing for the WNBA! Shit refs and fucked up calls generate clicks, likes, dislikes and general controversy, great for folks waiting to watch the next disaster. All for the dollars.

I know you can't criticize the refs. But what if a player says goodell is a fucking moron who allows the refs to get away with bad performances and protects them from criticism. Would that lead to a fine?
And a bunch of bad calls against that players team for the next few weeks.
 
baby door bitches tried to give gadsen a first down late in the 4th

Once again, for some reason, the ref from the back side took control of the ball placement. Not the ref from the front side who had a birds eye view of where the player was down. He was running along a yard from the 1st down marker, whereas the back side ref was running in line with the marker.

Stupid.

(sarcasm) I know the NFL can't afford anymore one field refs but do something. The refs are so bad that it's looking like some NFL games are rigged.

It looks like some refs are reluctant to overrule their fellow ref. Human nature I suppose. Don't want to rock the boat.

I’ll give them a pass since they did get it right and rather quickly.

So how many refs are watching games in the NFL office? Do they have one for each game? I don't think so. So sometimes they miss an opportunity to change the call. No excuses though for prime time.

The far side ref marked it almost a full yard short. Wasn't even close. The near side ref needs to lose his job.

Same, I was sitting there thinking "this is the moment that we get fucked once again". Couldn't believe someone actually stepped in finally. Was on the verge of losing my shit.

Yeah it would lead to a fine. But I'll bet people would get in line the pay it for the whoever says it.

I wish the guy who had the better view on that PI call in Denver woulda had the balls to overrule his partner. But those guys stick together. They have a "Us against the world" mentality.
