This really captures it for me, and also explains why ratings are down. How is it possible to miss that call, and then compound it by further screwing the team you just hosed? Why bother to watch a game so incompetently officiated that it's very integrity is legitimately called into question?Its pathetic. Listen for me its simple. If you miss a bang bang play fine. It happens. But how in the WORLD do you get the Sherman fg call wrong?! Nothing else was going on in the field at that point. And then they follow it up with the spotting/play clock debacle. Someone should be fined or suspended on the officiating side. But they wont.
Exactly!If the NFL can tweet during the game that the officiating was wrong, it can fix the calls during the games.

I speak only from experience in a different sport but in soccer over here in the UK it did help. It didn't solve the issues totally but it did improve things a bit because it generally encouraged younger guys to commit to it as a career option and the demographic or refs at the top level got younger and fitter and it helped.
I would like the NFL to give it a try for that reason.
That's certainly a reasonable response. I think this idea has been seriously considered by the NFL for some time, but has been rejected for a variety of reasons, mainly because there is just no evidence that the problems boil down to lack of training or dedication. To me the easiest and quickest solution is simply to allow replay of any and all calls, and certain non-calls such as roughing the passer or unnecessary roughness. It's not a perfect solution, but it would fix the vast majority of the crappy calls. Obviously, there would have to be limits to the number of replay reviews, etc., but even if the game were slowed down a little (can they possibly be any slower than they already are?), it would be worth it.

Get full time officials. One job, get it right, no weekend warriors.
There is absolutely zero evidence to support this idea. It's a lazy response to the problem that would solve absolutely nothing. Do you really think Coleman would not have botched the non-roughing call against Carpenter if only he was a full time" ref?
-
Surprised they didn't call roughing the passer there.
-
Tyrod, McCoy, Woods and Goodwin all balling tonight. Just too much to overcome, though.
-
Goodwin having a hell of a game. Good thing we didn't cut him before trading camp like WEO and mrags advocated.
-
McCoy is playing like his hair is on fire.
-
You are allowed to hit the kicker as long as you also jump offside on the play. It's a new rule.I have always been under the impression that anytime you touch the kicker its roughing? No matter what?
-
I will be extremely disappointed if Sherman does not leave the field on a stretcher. What a POS.
-
Whatttt???!
-
Wow, those State Farm/Green Bay Packers ads are really getting old. And silly, since they suck.
-
Challenge please. Oh, nevermind
-
Can't start much better than that.
-
How do you know he's not?I thought Cardale was better than Dak before this offseason lol.
-
Tired and silly argument. By this rationale, no one drafted outside round 1 can be any good because every GM in the league passed on them.Lets switch gears Ryan. Tell me what myself and thirty one other NFL teams who didnt pick jones roughly 130 picks before we did are missing. I would love to know what you know that all those scouts and GMs dont because he clearly would have gone earlier if they knew what you do.

I like Ross, but I like his teammate Dante Pettis even more.Corey Davis - best overall WR. JuJu Smith - best Woods replacement. John Ross/Malachi Dupre - best deep WR fit.
My top 10 - Corey Davis, Mike Williams, JuJu Smith, Gabe Marks, Malachi Dupre, Josh Reynolds, Stacy Coley, John Ross, KD Cannon, Simmie Cobbs Jr.
Not everyone will declare, rankings will change, usual disclaimers

And it's it's btw, not its.Talk about having nothing. Its delusional btw, not delisional.
-
Its a good point, and inexplicable, really. A lot of schools don't even give their kickers a full scholarship.How is it that the best programs in college football often can't trot out a reliable kicker? Yes, I'm watching LSU vs 'Bama. Sometimes it's even worse than this, and they won't even TRY a kick.
-
So, tell me about the other 1000 prospects who were 6'5" 265, mobile, with a cannon arm, who have played less than one full season, yet won the national championship, then were benched, without ever losing a college game, playing at the highest level. I'll hang up and listen.We can start with Im not sure Ive seen another prospect like him. Ive seen a 1000 prospects like him and they are all currently selling insurance after a two year NFL career. The guy got benched his final college season. Hes not John Elway coming out of Stanford.
-
Honestly, I'm not sure there has ever really been another prospect like Cardale. I can't think of anyone to compare him to. One thing is for sure, though, he has incredible tools and a very high upside.
-
Please help me understand why you think Cardale is "not mentally prepared." I'm not aware of any evidence to back up that statement.help me understand why so many people believe this is a certainty.
what i see is a guy with a ton of raw talent who's not mentally prepared.
what i also see is a guy who has 'it.' dude just wins. his preseason comeback (yes, i understand the context) is a perfect example. he just finds ways to get it done. you know, the opposite of our current guy.
i know there's no math to "it" and you can't coach "it" and for the things you can measure and the things you can coach he's probably lacking.
but with "it" comes an extra two or three wins each year.
so help me understand why he's such a long shot when he's got the one thing ("it") that might be most valuable
also, i'm consistently surprised at how sharp he is any time he speaks in front of the camera. so i don't doubt his ability to absorb the mental side.
I must have missed JP's undefeated college career in which he quarterbacked his team to the national championship.By project QB you mean a guy that has the physical tools but will always suck when it comes to actually playing on the field. See JP Losman.

Jim Harbaugh's teams win, and they are always well-prepared. He's earned some slack.Jim Harbaugh was at the Cubs game two days ago with his dad. The horror.
-
Correct, and for all we know, Cardale might turn out to be better than Prescott or Wentz. He has not had the opportunities yet that they have.What cannot be denied is that they drafted the one post-season wunderkind in Jones.
-
I'm not so sure about that. Bullies are often cowards who pick on smaller, weaker kids, but back down or run away when confronted by someone who can actually fight back. That sounds a lot like the team that Rex built.Rex wanted to build a bully, which again like everything else he seems to say was just more talk. They are not more physical then anyone else, and they don't appear to stand up for each other. A Bully wouldn't let Landry continue to run all over the field after he takes out AW last week, a Bully wouldn't let the pats get away with taking a late hit Out of Bounds against their QB
