jgb Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 refs are generally happy when people aren't talking about them. when they do a good job, they go unnoticed by definition. if people are talking they are probably stepping in it.

Klecko73isGod Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The added emphasis on the cornerbacks is a terrible idea. If the NFL really wants to just re-write the passing record books at least be more transparent about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I don't know if the refs are to blame at this point. Nobody knows what a catch is anymore, it's clear that roughing the passer is left to such a degree of subjectivity that they shouldn't be asked to call that one; they have asked these guys to learn an Illiad's worth of rules in a game that moves a mile per millisecond where everything gets judged by their eyes. I'm not sure there are any human beings on the planet who can call a fair game with the rules and procedures that this league uses now. Really takes the air out of the game too.

Jetmech Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Unfortunately rule changes are rarely reversed. What annoys me is they are voted on by the teams so what the **** are they doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jettington Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I've hated the officiated in both games this year. Is it true that the Packers didn't have a single holding call the entire game on Sunday? Starting a rookie center and Sherrod for Bulaga? I find it so hard to believe they did nothing to merit a holding call the entire game. When does ANY offensive line go an entire game without one? And with the TO fiasco, if the ref is instructed to not turn from the field, why doesn't the NFL simply hire more referees, it's not like they're short on money. Add another ref to be an extra pair of eyes at critical moments in a game so that one ref doesn't have to choose between the field and making sure the HC is actually calling a timeout or in other situations where more eyes are needed.

Greenseed4 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm really close to finding another hobby. The officials are slowing the game down and changing its outcome. Football used to be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 They just keep having a direct influence on the final score of games. They need to be told that no one pays to see them Noone pays to see them, but somebody may be paying for outcomes. It happened in the NBA. I don't know if the refs are to blame at this point. Nobody knows what a catch is anymore, it's clear that roughing the passer is left to such a degree of subjectivity that they shouldn't be asked to call that one; they have asked these guys to learn an Illiad's worth of rules in a game that moves a mile per millisecond where everything gets judged by their eyes. I'm not sure there are any human beings on the planet who can call a fair game with the rules and procedures that this league uses now. Really takes the air out of the game too. We judge things with our eyes? I thought we used math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay_gee Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 With all the headlines being grabbed by sh*tbird players, the sh*tty job they're doing is going unnoticed. I was thinking this not long ago. The officiating this season has been bad, all over the league (even though it feels extra bad against the Jets). The worst part is that it isn't just bad, it's inconsistent. I hate the way they're calling defense this year, but I'd be able to deal with it if they were doing it all the time. Sometimes they are, sometimes they're not. It's awful, and I feel like nobody in the media has mentioned it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
