These are active decisions the refs are choosing to make. They should be held culpable for them. There are plenty of NFL games where we have all seen refs call everyone tight or let players play Doubt the ref union would allow culpability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't in the same planet. These refs have no common sense. I always thought it was supposed to be for like, when the defender kind of jumps up so they have more momentum to slam down on the QB. When they're pulling like, a wrestling move, not just falling down on the QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys get graded, ain't none of them going to go rogue for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatKing Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 So who on the Raiders is going to blow it in the 2nd half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone would've said hey, pick up the flag, and none of this would be a problem. It's ridiculous how far behind US sports are to global Football, this has been a solved problem technologically and logistically (though obviously mired in the mountain of corruption and graft in professional Football) for over 2 decades now. Eye in the Sky, man in a booth, buzz the ear "that wasn't a flag Ed, pick it up lets go". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a threat with potential follow-through, lol. (I'm from the area... I know KC fans are hardcore enough to get crazed.) I live in Nebraska.

Forge Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Just now, Thelonebillsfan said: I think they're going to do what they always do when these things become national talking points for weeks and quietly tell refs to stop calling them and then quietly change them at rules committee because they're terrified of getting to the point where the money spout shoots out slightly less money. We will see. This is hardly the first time that people have complained about horrific RTP calls and as far as I know, they haven't done anything about it yet. This will be out of the media talking point rotation in 3 days when everyone starts talking about the week ahead. Only the fans of the team remember the really bad calls. I can tell you about this horrific call that Ahmad Brooks got against Drew Brees because Brees is basically short, but I doubt anyone but a Saints or 49ers fan would know what I'm referring to. These things just fade away until the next one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only work if it was an independent reviewer and even they wouldn't want to piss of the refs too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lessen the load from the refs by implementing technology where it can be so obviously more efficient. Lighten up on DPI and illegal contact.

It says a defenseless posture, during of after throwing a pass. You shouldn't be a defenseless player when you're just getting tackled with the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they took that concept of the rule and went way overboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPI and illegal contact are never going back to pre-04, ever, the league does not want WR's getting ragdolled again. Mandatory review/reviewable penalties are a simple solution and you can easily implement systems to make reviews expeditious.
