Slappy Mc Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I have never seen so many games decided by bad calls or the lack of calls. It is a shame there is no repercussions for penalties that decide football games one way or another. Penalties need to be challengeable or reviewable. Anyone else feel this way?

candyman93 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The Oakland vs Cleveland game would have me fuming if Cleveland was competing for a playoff spot. That was a TERRIBLE game for the officials. The Chargers missed false start was pretty bad. I said it when we had replacement officials, the real officials sucked too. I couldn’t tell a difference.

Jlowe22 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 You just go about your business and don't worry about it. The refs are what the are, just hope your team is prepared to battle both the refs and the other team. And don't get excited about plays til the next play is snapped.

Xmad Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The refs messing up is part of the game, you win on sunday or you don't it's out of your control sometimes but you do your best. B.s calls suck but that's part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar12 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 From my perspective they seem to not be that bad lately. I remember in the preseason and early this season it was much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiphoon Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 33 minutes ago, ///mcompact said: The refs weren't the reason that Colt McCoy sucked.. Correct. But the B.S. non-call on the helmet-to-helmet at the end when the safety rammed into Reed was a pretty big miss. Its not like the official was watching something else and missed a holding call. Ended the drive and cost us a TD. Or the previous week at the end of the game when Doctson got undressed by the CB and...no call. Pushed what would've been a chip shot FG to a 64yarder at the end of the game. We lose by 2 points. Usually, I'm pretty ambivalent about the refs and their effects on the game, but those are two pretty big ones recently involving my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most fun ones are when they screw up the call on the field, review it, and still screw the call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Dallas were treated by the same "ref influence", in our last meeting with you guys, with a bogus snap infraction on the FG to send it into overtime. When Dallas Haters in the media are calling that a bad call, then it's definitely bad. No matter. If Dallas took that 1st game into overtime, I'm not confident they would've won, just like you're not sure that if the Redskins would've scored off that penalty, that they would've ganked the onside and scored again. I learned years after the Dez "No-Catch" to stop blaming losses on the refs (especially since they surely would've still lost). The Redskins made the plays they needed to win the game in Fedex and Dallas made enough today to secure the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaa1025 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The Chiefs got hosed pretty bad against the Rams and it played a big part in the loss. The Chiefs were on the other end of this against the 49ers to the point where I felt dirty after the game. Until the NFL goes full time with referees it won't improve. I do think they control the games for a better show or push the NFL's agenda sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that they'd only work 6-7 months out of the year tops, but aren't they compensated enough to not be working some other careers the other 5 months? I know there were "replacement refs" during that "Fail Mary" year, but aren't these current guys employed the whole season? Someone clue me in as I keep hearing from a lot of people about this. The NFL has a ton of money and should throw as much as possible to ensure the best Refs are employed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are full time refs (they were recently made full time like a year ago) but the majority of NFL refs work under the NFLRA union, part time. I.E this isn't their only job and most refs have jobs outside of this, they just do this on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
