I think if any player lobbies to get a call, they should be flagged for un-sportsmanlike conduct.  I am tired of WRs throwing their hands in the air to get a call, and the ref goes ahead and tosses the flag.  Let the refs call the game. 

Agree, that is very annoying.

Also:

-Receivers giving up on routes.

-receivers whining for the ball.

-stupid unsportsmanlike penalties, unless it's a good fist fight.

-all these stupid celebrations.

-celebrating meaningless, routine plays.

TV networks not revealing draft picks so they can stay on air longer to get more ads shown... NFL people will tweet out pick 20 while ESPN/NFL network are still on pick 18

i think if a lineman points at another lineman that should automatically be a 5 yard penalty that overrides the false start/offsides call

The 4th Qrt in an uncompetitive game.

Particularly when the losing team is trying not to lose by anymore points, rather than score some damn points.

I voted conservative play calling because I constantly rage when it’s 3 and 12 and Dak throws a two yard out to the sidelines. Our passing game is the definition of conservative play. It’s so frustrating to see a three and out 4 or 5 times in a row

I picked 3rd down conversion, but mine wasn't on the list. That is getting lots of yards marching up and down the field  but settling for FG's . This bothers me more than anything, but everything on the list also is close.  Then of course is the commercials and the commentators. Romo is a good color addition, if they keep getting new people calling the games like him it will help.

Horrible uniforms.

Looking at you state of Florida, and Rams white helmet looks ridiculous.

Alive referees. A breathing referee is a bad referee. They all need to be sent into a machine gun pit along with whoever decided to neuter the game of violence at the cost of its integrity.

2 and 7 are basically the same just depends on if your team has the ball. Feel like the defensive one is worse

How about when a defender hits a guy so hard they throw a flag...just because it looked scary

NFL season going by so fast

The inconsistencies on defensive penalties vs. offensive penalties:

*Pass interference: Offensive players push off, blatant no call. Defensive player in good position barely makes contact with his body, FLAG.

*Fask Mask: Defensive players rightfully get called. However, a STIFF ARM to a players facemask, especially when I've seen Marshawn Lynch TWIST facemasks for the last 10+ years without getting called, is egregious.

Targeting: A ball carrier lowers his head and uses his helmet as a weapon and it's called "Gets the tough yardage". A defensive player does it and it's a 15 yard penalty AND a hefty fine.

This. So much this. I’ve seen instances where it’s blatantly lowering the helmet to pick up a few extra yards and people applaud the “toughness” of the player but burflict does it and he’s the dirtiest player in the NFL. Nothing is equal or makes sense about penalties anymore.

How about the inconsistency in what is considered a catch. Ramsey's interception at the end of the wildcard game touched the ground twice and was bobbled after that and they still said he maintained possession after replay.
