I doubt they're a big deal to the players either, but to me as a viewer they are becoming annoying. I love the game of football but I have absolutely zero interest in watching guys standing around trying to figure out what they're supposed to be doing or shutting a game down for 3+ minutes to review multiple spurious calls.
I'll deal with it in the short term as they are batting .500 right now ( 1 good week, 1 very bad week) and I'm not so spoiled I can't tolerate it; but I know myself well enough that if it continues in the vein that it did this week, there's no doubt in my mind that I'll be watching less ball because of it. I can't be the only one that feels that way and if the league recognizes that fact they'd be wise to be more willing to move a little in their ongoing negotiations with the experienced officials.
So even though I clearly stated in my title that the refs were good in Week 1, I have little credibility because I moan about the refs every week?
Since I've been posting here for well over 10 years, there's probably about 200 regular season games that have occurred in that time. Which according to you mean's that you should be able to find 200 posts of me moaning about officiating. Being that you are a poster with zero credibility who never manages to contribute anything to this forum but rude commentary and insults towards others, I certainly don't expect you to be willing to find the 200 examples of my moaning which you claim to exist. So instead I will make it much easier for you; how about if you go and find just one of the 200 examples of me moaning about officiating every week. If you can do so, then fine. If you cannot, then shut your ignorant mouth and keep your repetitive, insulting garbage out of my threads.
