Where is Marcus Rock? He scoffs at this article I’m sure.
Anyone except Hochuli.
IF we make it to Lambeau, bet it’s Hochuli!

No one overlooks the ref angle anymore. They often decide games.
These teams are all so evenly matched that is not always possible.Yep, refs make bad calls in every game. Happens. Deal with it. Win bigger. Dont let it come down to one or two bad calls.
I liked your post and you think I'm insulting you?Seems like a weak attempt at an insult. Is that the best you've got?
At least the existence of this thread tells me we won't have a bunch of threads blaming "the refs" if things don't go our way tomorrow.
Yeah, right.

Shallow.
I complimented and meant it.

Pipe down, fan boi. It's called being a critical reader and all.
It's an interesting idea for choosing playoff refs but it seems unlikely that you'll get consistent ratings game to game. Chances are, if you win, you'll like the crew. If you lose, not so much. Just like around here where ref threads only appear when we lose. So by season's end, the highest rated crews are by winners. If you're 0-17, you hate everyone. By mid-season, if you're reffing a winning team's game, are you more likely to want to please that team who's more likely to win if it means you'll get a higher rating and promoted to the post-season where you could see this team again who helped you get there? If refs have biases and feelings like so many here claim, why would you create a system where ref crews and teams could conspire to be buddy-buddy in a mutually-beneficial relationship? Gotta think these things through but knee-jerking is easier.
The real issue that needs to come from the NFL is what their standard is on how close or loose games should be called. Full time refs can also undergo full time training so that standard can be met across crews. We all want less penalties but let's be real; fans will never be happy. Call less penalties and fans will whine that officials don't make calls for their team on purpose. It's lose-lose for refs anyway so hopefully the NFL can publicly address it and go forward with it from there. Tweak as necessary.
You sir are unbelievable. Have a good life!
So you not going to address my counter-points? You make my case for me. Again, knee-jerking is easier than in-depth thinking. So just scream "malfeasance!" like the rest to get it over with.

Exactly. Not saying they're fixed but just so poorly officiated you wonder sometimes. The Saints have something to say.Yep. I'm not one that believes games are fixed. But if they wanted to do it, fixed games would be indistinguishable from any other game. That's how bad the refs have become.
