Want to get rid of crime? Get rid of law enforcement. I never implied that idea, I'm not sure why you said that. I explicitly said law does not remove crime and penalty does not remove human error. But it decreases it. If you knew 100% without a doubt, if you were to rob a bank and wouldn't get caught, would you do it? You and many others might say no. But there are many others who would. The penalty of going to prison, doesn't stop robberies from happening, but it decreases it. If you knew you were on the hot seat at work, would you pay extra attention to detail and be careful not to make any extra errors? Say if you were a teacher and were accused of treating students unfairly and at risk of losing your job, would you be mindful to treat everyone equally? Shorting the till? I never mentioned that either. I will repeat what I said. In most restaurants, probably 90% , if you ring in an order wrong, all you have to do is re-ring it and they comp the food off of the ticket. But in the other 10%, if you ring in the order wrong, they make you pay for the food. And in those restaurants, the comp % is substantially lower. Why do you think that is? And that is my point. If referees knew they were going to be penalized (more than not getting called for big games, that is more like not getting your bonus check) for not calling a fair game, the games would be called more fairly. There is ZERO game to game accountability. I'm saying there should be review, transparency and grades. And pay should be dependent on those grades.

They would be thinking "I need to call this game as evenly as possible". (See end of Bills/Bucs) I know there are many who think that Hughes is treated unfairly, not getting holding calls when he should. I am not saying I am one them, I haven't taken a deep enough look, but I also would not dismiss it. But say it was happening in a certain game, a film review and grade would show they were not making the same calls on player A as player B (Hughes). I don't see how you don't think that would lead to a more fairly officiated game. It's fine if they call a loose game, I actually prefer less flags. But call it the same way. -No, refs are not fined or held accountable at all in any sport. The system is broken. I'm throwing out ideas -I don't think you can compare refs and players. A bang bang helmet to helmet happens and you get fined. And a 10k fine is like a happy meal to some NFL players wallets. I think it's more the penalty that may cost their team the game that they're thinking about, rather than the fine. But penalizing people for mistakes has an effect. Tickets don't solve speeding and other violations, but they help cut them down. Some restaurants make employees pay for the food if they ring it wrong. It doesn't mean the employees rang it in wrong on purpose, but if they know they have to pay for it, they are going to make less errors.

I'm saying there needs to be more repercussion than just them not getting the premium games. And I don't just mean fining them for bad calls, that I was saying to reinforce my point. I was thinking more like grading their performance overall and paying on that. If they called a very fair, consistent game they get a top grade and get top pay. And at the other end, if they called an inconsistent and unfair game they get a bottom grade and bottom pay. At the very least it would lead to a more fair game called. Also yes, I am also a fan of the refs having to sit in a post game press conference with video. Transparency and accountability.

Because money and pain are the two things that influence human behavior the most. If the referee that threw the flag on Levi Wallace vs TB in OT knew he was going to be docked say 25k for an egregious call like that, I doubt he throws that flag. If Tony Corrente knew he was going to get fined say 50k or even better knew he was going to be "retired" for throwing an extremely controversial flag on Cassius Marsh (the ref hip check taunting penalty) , I highly doubt he throws that flag. Yes there are bang bang calls the will get wrong. Maybe not penalize for those. But heinous calls (Saints vs Rams NFCC and many others like). Google "blindside blocks Bills-Texans" or "Saints-Texans". Those flags are travesties. You hold refs accountable and they won't throw questionable flags, that might cost them money. It's all about accountability.

The could fulfill the prophecy and become The Chefs.

Seems like a pretty filthy board. I've literally been to all 32 teams boards at some point the past fews years. That one is rough. A lot of vulgar and misinformed posts. One poster was mentioning how bad Josh is when the Bills are trailing. I'm not sure where he ranks, but I know Josh has 11 comeback/GWD before this year. And his 4th quarters statistics are just insane.

Cards with the upset

Could Mayock go back to draft analysis? Or did he lose credibility as a draft expert with the drafts he oversaw?

Their pay for that game is based on their grade of that same game?

Yeah the part-time aspect is a big part of the problem. They need to be full time and this should be their only (main) profession. With the salaries they're paid (I think I heard upwards of $200k), they should have no problem finding well qualified candidates, I wouldn't think.

They should be deeply graded after every performance and paid based on grade. I guarantee it would improve.

WHAT UNI'S ARE WE WEARING THOUGH?!?!? I'm predicting all whites. We seem to play well in those, plus they're sick.

Trollin hard, you are

KC -2

Why does Ben keep going downfield? He doesn't have that juice.

I don't know. If Steelers were to play in Buffalo, what would that line be? 11-12 maybe? That's what it is tonight. I think the Bills/Chiefs line will be a lot closer than people think.

Bills -1 @ KC

Dionte Johnson trying his best Neil O'Donnell impersonation.

part one of monumental upset: Defense/ST touchdown.

Dude fumbled twice on the same play

holy *****

Would we be favored in arrowhead next week? At first I thought we'd be 1-1.5 point dogs. Now I think we'd be favored by that same amount.

That's what Vegas has their team total set at. 17.5
