Officiating has been bad for a long time. Every year the shield in all its brilliance makes more and more rules further making the Zebra's job even more difficult. We still don't know what a catch is, is a double tap the same as getting two feet in bounds, what is roughing the passer ? ... I see lesser QBs get pummeled and not draw a flag, yet you used to get a flag for even looking at Brady.
The rule book needs to be streamlined, seems even refs don't agree on what's a penalty or not.
Refs that are wrong time and time again need to be replaced
Eye in the sky needs to be used for more things to get calls as close to being right as possible.
There is a ton of $$$ wagered on the NFL every weekend, they owe it to the fans to get it right.
