Officiating really sucks in the NFL

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Colts are getting absolutely screwed right now by the refs.

 

Refs pick up the flag on the center being 5 yards down field on the final Pats drive.

 

Hate watching the NFL now.  It's not rigged. It's just awful.

Colts got absolutely screwed. So so bad.

[NyQuil]

Indy just got screwed so hard.  PI on a non-catchable ball.

 

[TheFunPolice]

Every time I see the flag icon my blood pressure rises.

 

It's gotten to the point where I'll be doing yardwork on a Saturday and hear that there's a penalty in the Peewee game at the school next door and I'm like OH COME ON!

[Aussie Joe]

On the bright side … don’t need to worry about how each AFC game might affect the standings anymore to help the Bills

Colts just got hosed badly...multiple times.

The illegal man down field was boarderline. The Refs were bad Both ways in that game. The Colts did get hosed though.

Why does "rigged" and "awful" have to be mutually exclusive?

The worst non-call was the failure to call the DOG on 3rd and 1.  The clock was at 0 for at least a full second before the Cheats snapped the ball.  The refs gifted the Cheats that TD when they also failed to call OPI when Hunter Henry picked off TJ.  We got ***** dry.

Yeah except for, you know, that the flag was already thrown.

 

If it was "borderline," who saw something so concrete as to overrule the flag and say no foul there?

I think it was a legit call that didn't have to be called but literally how do you pick up that flag?  You call a foul and bring attention to it only to say just kidding.  Refs are going to hear from the league on that IMO

No idea!! The 1st roughing the passer on Allen was weak as it was a total sell job by Allen. (Which top QBs always get) 

 

The Bills O faced a good Pats D.  You take away Jones pick 6s they average like 20 points a game.  The Bills O weakness is relying on Diggs too much.  They should have kept going to both TE that the Pats were giving them all game.

Just saw a replay of that and the center immediately started running downfield at the snap. He was at least 3 yards downfield before the pass. Terrible no call. As usual!

Nah! The Indy game Refs were much worse and cost the Colts a win.. that was close and I have no idea who overturned it.  Usually the good team get those kind of breaks. 

[Big Blitz]

They see scoring is down. 
 

They want to call more DPIs and illegal use of hands.  
 

That’s what’s happening.  

[loyal2dagame]

It's gotten progressively worse over the last 5 or so years. 

[LeGOATski]

They should mic up the refs during their discussions. The XFL and USFL provide full transparency while the NFL refuses.

 

The ref threw the flag for the center being 8 yards downfield while blocking no one. It's clearly a penalty. What in the world goes on in the discussion that would cause them to pick that flag up?

 

The NFL won't tell you.

They need to let more stuff go… not the opposite which they have been doing …they could find something to call on every play if they looked hard enough
