Uncle Nicco Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I can’t believe this is the proposed solution to the incompetent referring mafia we currently have yes let’s make these jokes even harder to fire than they currently are Full time incompetence is as bad as part time incompetence refs need to be held to an impossibly high standard The solution is simply to staff up “sky refs” 20-30 guys that are watching every call. Have every single call be reviewed by the sky ref committee in real time 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isired Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Full time refs is the only way that I can see making the on-field officiating better. Why shouldn't refs be looking at film all week leading up to their game assignment? Reviewing personnel packages, tendencies, situational line splits, blocking assignments, receiver behaviors, etc., etc., etc. Prepare so they know 90% of what they'll see Sunday (Thu, Mon, etc.). Same as coaches, players, broadcasters, reporters and everyone else who makes their living off of this enormous business. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have that league already, it's called middle school flag football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Full time refs will make no difference at all, none whatsoever. It is the league mandating how games are to be called and the horrendously awful rules. For such a big time money making league the rules are crap and almost without exception if they try and fix something they make it worse. They "Grudne" it if you will. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSNY Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 My personal opinion is I can’t stand all the replay reviews and the rules for what is a catch and what isn’t a catch should go back to the way it was when it was so much simpler none of the BS the ground can’t cause a fumble when you have to have possession of a catch complete the catch then if you fall and hit the ground after you had possession of catch and ball wiggles a bit it’s ruled incomplete. If ground can’t cause a fumble why would the scenario of possession of catch two feet in bounds fall to ground and ball moves rule incomplete. Just seems like a huge contradiction to me . Like Madden said “ one knee equals two feet” KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfield Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Its hard to believe, in an industry as big as the nfl that refs aren’t full time already. Personally, i think full time officials would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bla bla bla Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I've always said, put oven mits or boxing gloves on the OL to remove all holding penalties from that unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, and the idea of them scouting the teams they’ll be ref’ing that weekend is a really good one. Not only to watch the teams as you said, but to see how other crews are calling the games. That, along with weekly reviews of close and bad calls, could lead to more consistent officiating.

I think they like all the confusion and randomness involving penalties it makes it easy to manipulate games from their corporate offices.....bad calls and rules are not even questioned in the media or by announcers anymore they have just given up because they are confused. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Can we introduce ‘fractional fouls’ where the refs put the word “kinda” in front of penalties for reduced yardage penalties. “He was kinda off-sides” -2.5 yards ”Kinda roughing the passer” -4 yards ”They were kinda holding” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obrien2Toon Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I used to work with an nfl ref And I’m a firefighter, so these guys aren’t exactly brain surgeons on the side always thought it was strange that such a highly scrutinized job was “part time” anyway, the guy was really smart and went on to become chief i think he is still a replay ref, has to be in his 70’s by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
