TERRIBLE Officiating NFL

Refs are going to ref ball. No excuses 

@"Bullazin" said: Multiple uncallled holdings every play offense and defense

multiple illegal contact/PI almost every play 

multiple missed calls

No penalty challenges 

Refs should be professionally trained with youthful, physical capabilities. 

hard to watch. 

youthful. agreed.

some of these fossils shouldnt even be allowed to drive.  The game is too fast for them

What was even pathetic was the announcer trying to justify why the refree did not call the face mask on Cousins.

He stated:
It was just a little touch and then went on to accept that it looked violent on slow motion
But he was OK with the refs not calling it.

When was a facemask on the QB a subjective call?
Cousins head was completely turned (this actually is irrelevant) no matter how you looked at it slow motion or not

l.wow

it is bad in every game, in particular at the end of the game, they swallow their whistles

Its CBS....i hate most of their their crews and coverage. 

At the end of a 4 point game, Freely is talking about the Lions rookie K.

Not good.

Talk about swallowing whistles, the Lions were penalized 3 times for 11 yards… 

Looking forward to the sanctions levied for this.

The game is foo fast for some of these old guys

NBA officiating sucks too.  I think these pro league money people think it adds a WWE type element thats actually enjoyable. Any milleneals here think different or is this just another Gen X codger rant ?

I wonder if it isnt all for vegas sometimes.  the shit officiating,  the dumb ass coaching moves... at times it just makes me wonder if it isnt all for the gambling.

Speaking of the NBA, when did the Vikings transfer into that league.  29 point lead yet comes down to a blocked shot to win the game at the buzzer.

Millennial here. The thing that sucks so much about NBA Refs is every player is an actor now. Every little tap on the head or arm or leg or eyebrow is a foul to said player. Fouls are so much harder to judge these days because players have gotten so smart about drawing them and when they show the replay on the big screen well after the play occurred they all complain. Unless players want 4 hour games solely to review foul calls it'll be what it is currently.

I do like that the NBA changed the Harden, Trae Young, Chris Paul call where the offensive player can longer stop on a dime and cause the defender to run into them and then throw up a half ass shot. Do the refs miss a lot? Absolutely. Do stars get a lot of calls others dont? Sure, but that's no different than the NFL or MLB.

You could look at it this way..... 

29 pts at the half was enough to win the game.  The 4th quarte Osborn touchdown was gravy.
