JMF2006 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 2 hours ago, ctk232 said: I'm curious if this was due to personal transgression, or if it's just the NFL making a marketing move to the fans saying that they do care about the quality of refereeing in the league. I can't imagine it would actually be due to his game calls, otherwise why him over any other ref? If they really want to impress this fan base fire Jerome before Monday nights game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing a "critical" false start (that "resulted in a TD"--as though that's why SD was able to score!) is a bizarre way to go. 2 hours ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Racist ? and when does Goodell get fired for being awful at his job? ?

Right? I mean, I've seen this happen before and other missed calls lead to TDs. I get it's likely due to a track record of missed calls, but how have there not been more firings/suspensions, or was his track record just that egregious? My confusion arises with how this situation was handled and why it deserves this treatment when, by the seemingly same standard, they should fire half the officiating crews out there? (Half being a bit hyperbolic here, but certainly more than one down judge.) Edited October 25, 2018 by ctk232 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 It's nice to read that when officials have been fired due to poor performance, the NFLRA gets them rehired and moved to the replay booth. ? No wonder replay reviews are so random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I hate to say it, but, bring back the scabs. It was the most balanced refereeing the NFL has had in decades. No more nepotisn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
