Officiating today should be better than it ever has been seeing that the same refs have been doing this since the 70's, they're like the Supreme Court and have a job for life.
The Shield also has instituted too many new rules that focus on creating high scoring games. If you hit a QB, it better be in a 6 inch area of their torso or it's 15 yards. CB's get run over and knocked to the ground and it's DPI instead of the obvious OPI. And the one that always raises BP is when a defensive player barely jumps into the neutral zone, gets back to being on his side of the ball, doesn't touch anyone, yet gets flagged because some player on the other end of the line starts pointing. It didn't used to be that way.
It's still the best game going, but I think it was better back in the 80's and 90's than it is now.
