The Refs and this “rigged” league

I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, ref altercations every single year so that we can have fairly/professionally officiated games. That’s a prudent deal. It is rational.

I saw 3 brutal calls last few days. 

1. Saturday, Georgia Tech had the most obvious undeniable TD I've ever seen... but went to review, and I'm like aiiiiight, at least they'll fix it here. NOPE!

2. Sunday, Hockenson TD late 4th quarter (convenient time for awful call).  It was like they're reviewing it with the goal of trying to figure out how they could call it not a catch!!! 

3. Monday, a little flimsy, but the Evans catch where he broke his collarbone.  I know all the crap about "surviving the ground", but its sooooo overthought.  Where did common sense and skill levels go in making these decisions.  Catches it, firmly supported, very controlled, bounced & rolled over still had it, play nearly a second over, hes on his back...... no catch

 

4. Bonus call. Again less solid than my first two.... but over ruling the first down call against Tampa that was ruled a first down. It was sooooo close, youre talking 10ths of an inch.  They review it from this bad camera angle that clearly distorts your ability to determine within tenths of an inch..... OVER RULED. Is it no longer indisputable?!? You dont even have a good view to make an educated guess... but I guess thats indisputable now

yeah I get this.  But incompetence at old man bball is different than incompetence from what should be the best football officials.  I don't think the reffs are trying to favor certain outcomes, I think a lot of them are legitimately bad, and it's a bad look for the NFL.  The NFL also needs to be transparent about fining refs or demoting them fot totally agregis calls like what happened in the Giants-Broncos game (PI call).  Also, making more such calls revewable would help.  Payton could have challenged that call.  

They need to bring some stability in.  Every single ****'ing call and challenge is held to totally different standards, it undeniable. NFL then doubles down, bring in "Gene Statutory" to tell a few million people that've watched football their whole lives how and why they're wrong again!  It's insulting, this isnt a court of law, my God dude wipe the slobber of your chin.  Why is it so hard for the NFL to admit they got a call wrong and attempt to fix it.

 

The constant doubling down is what I think drives fans crazy, the most.  It'd relieve alotta pressure on refs, the league, players, fans.  They'd feel heard. Try new things.

 

College football started letting viewers inside the challenge center with them!  Its freaking awesomeeeeeeee.  My favorite new thing, it'd be so easy to implement. Instead they choose secrecy, "they're too dumb to even understand" LOL.  Now that I've typed it out, they remind me of something.... and it's no wonder we hate it.

 

if the NFL was the government, the morning of November 23, 1963 the headline would've been:

 

"OH NO!!! JFK COMMITS SU---DE AT PARADE! REALLY STUPID & SHAMEFUL CITIZENS IN ATTENDANCE SAY 'NO'"
