NFL is so popular they can get away with it, but at some point people will tune out when games look like they’re clearly influenced by the refs.  
 

We know they are, but stuff like that makes it look premeditated. 

 

The games already look like that. They do seem to be showing some signs they might start to do something with "new" referees being full time and while that will help, it's not a solution on it's own. They need to address the rule book that is overly complicated and due to the attempts to cover every possible thing that happens has made it impossible to enforce fairly. They also need to get rid of rules they don't want to enforce. These memos like the 'holding' one they sent out 2 offseasons ago are ridiculous. Don't send out a memo to call less holding.. fix the rule itself. Complexity does not solve problems and all they have is a complicated mess.

Refs have potentially swung that game 21 points…no way the broncos are winning that one lol 

 

I have rarely seen the network rules analyst go the opposite direction of the officials on the field so often during a game.

 

Said Wilson had forward motion on the throw that was ruled a fumble and it ended up ruled a fumble.

 

Said it was not OPI when they called OPI on the Sutton reception.

 

Their rules analyst does not sound like he is on board with the calls going down on the field.

 

Same pick play just to the left, and that is not an OPI. This crew blows.

No other sport has part-time officials and there’s just too much money in the NFL now to use the shorter schedule as an excuse.  Hire them full-time and make them use the extra time to train and study.

Yeah Im good if Minshew goes to the AFC East next season


 

Would love it if the eagles drop a 3rd game.  I like them, but I just don’t want anyone with a better record than the Bills.

 

The Dolphins, man…their 2022 is just disappearing.

On the refs loving the Chiefs: true. But at this point the NFL suits seem to love the Bills equally so I'm not getting the conspiracy theories. Just a general "great QBs get the benefit of the doubt"

 

The Bills will get some sweetheart calls

We might see if they love Burrow or Josh more tomorrow
