I think one of the issues is that the officials are not full time employees. Most of them are professionals (lawyers, engineers, businessmen), and those professions leave very little time to master officiating. I'd feel a lot better if the refs were full time. Hell I'd even apply to be one if they'd agree to never let me officiate a Bills game ? Interestingly enough, the fact that many are professionals theoretically makes them less susceptible to bribes. Corrupt judges and police are less common in places where they are paid enough to live comfortably, for example. Bribes are much more tempting when you are struggling to put food on your family's table. That's partly why corruption is so rampant in the developing world.

4 out of the 5 play in the trenches. I think that's telling.

If you want to go really off the deep end... the Patriots weren't good until after 9/11, when patriotism surged. What better team to win the Superbowl that year than the underdog "Patriots", eh?

There are definitely similarities in their approaches, but I think it's obvious that McD is a more modern version of those similar principles. I have a feeling McD is also more inspiring than a corpse.

Lol Boomer talks as if their crew knew Josh was good all along. What a crock.

Now the talking heads get to eat crow. How enjoyable the post game show will be.

Shoulda just tried to challenge it anyway.

Tyron Smith is consistently making whoever rushes him look like a fool. Damn dude.

Damn. Hope Cooper is okay.

3 points and 7 fewer minutes left. Good work.

The ref seemed so upset that he had to call that.

Run it down their throats until they are gasping for air.

Hahahahaha

Refs still have another play to throw a flag. Give it time.

What a run!

100+ for Beas.

Was just thinking that. Maybe we just got exceptionally lucky for a generation or two and are rolling back to the 60s.

So many missed kicks this game.

Nice work Shaq.

Haushcka needs to do some shrooms and reset his brain from this kicking PTSD he has.

Lol

I figured it was a bunch of poor saps who actually paid extra for the experience.

Same. I had no idea if so. It’s like Super Bowl Lite.

6 point lead and we get the ball to start the half.
