-Hope- Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Just now, SkippyX said: 3rd worst The NBA calls favorites and randomly the same exact thing is or is not a foul. One of their refs went to jail for point shaving. MLB umpires get to call their own strike zones. A ball in the middle of the plate is sometimes called a ball They are supposed to go to 3rd base or 1st base for check swing rulings but sometimes they go I AM THE CAPTAIN NOW! They call it themselves even though there is no way they can see it. man, so you're saying the NFL has the BEST officiating of the 3 major US sports leagues? that's a hard sell lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that it's the hardest to officiate, it's that some replay rules are so convoluted and left to officials judgement generally and it's inconsistent from one crew to another, it feels like. Too often officials make themselves known in big spots on things they hadn't called all game, or vice versa. MLB umps can be whack, for sure, but they generally get calls right on replay. It's sad that I think the NBA has better officiating than the NFL but here we are in 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully will be able to have an actual good game, and not just a good game given circumstances, next week against a weaker Giants D with a hopefully healthier offense. Short week though so who knows if the latter will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D82 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Good job by the refs of not calling that. But I don't think that's a TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad that I think the NBA has better officiating than the NFL but here we are in 2020 Are all we talking about is replays? As it was pointed out, if you're looking for consistency, MLB umps get to decide what their strike zone is, and don't have to call it the same way game by game. Theirs always going to be inconsistency's between different crews, it's like that in every sport. Human element. Baseball is so much easier to officiate, but they get it wrong multiple times on a daily basis. I'm willing to bet the MLB has never had a single game be called exactly correct, and for being such a slower sport that is terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not just talking about replay, but that was one of the issues being discussed. Yes, I agree MLB is the easiest and they still make mistakes, but I think the NFL blows more impactful calls/calls things differently in "bigger" spots, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klone1 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Hey Aikman and Buck.. just reminding you that you're covering an NFL game and not college. A knee being down when you were never touched does not mean you're down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
