Scott Novak can get the Bozak

[Lost]

NFL Officiating this year has been the worst I've ever witnessed across the entire league.   I'd like to give them all a week off so I can watch a game and actually enjoy it.

Well the TB they were favoring in the last game wasn't "Tampa Bay."

[Low Positive]

It works in our favor if he likes to call RTP to protect star QBs.

[DabillsDaBillsDaBills]

I'm a ref complainer, but I'll stand by that Bucs game being the worst and most lopsided officiating against the Bills in the McD era. 

 

They were bad all night but the end of that game was really something. The refs let the Bucs hogtie Diggs on our 3rd down pass to the end zone at the end of regulation with no call. Only to follow that up in OT by calling DPI on Wallace when Brady underthrew Evans by 5 yards. Evans bear hugged Wallace so he couldn't turn around and the call goes against Wallace.

So which week do we get the good ref? You know, the one that's beloved by fans across the league.

[Bocephuz]

just say "No" to Novak

Quick note: 

 

Rookie Line Judge Brian Sakowski was hit in the head last week by Arizona Cardinals LT DJ Humpries in the game at Seattle. Humphries was ejected:

Preemptive reffing complaints… intriguing 🧐 

[Brand J]

It’s funny how many were up in arms about that Jaelen Phillips RTP penalty. I can find 10 that are worse than that one. Including “hits” where the QB didn’t even get knocked to the ground.

It's my job to find reason to get everyone all riled up before the game. 😉

My god that game was awful. Diggs shirt being grabbed and pulled behind him as if it was princess Diana’s wedding gown and no flag.
