This is ridiculousSomeone should check the refs bank accounts for large deposits.
I’m sure it’s just the opposite. The league doesn’t want this attentionI'm sure Goodell is having a good laugh at McCarthy's complaints

Goodell, is that you?This is ridiculous
actually Goodell is probably sticking it to Jerry for meddling with his contract negotiations with Zeke suspensionYep, Goodell will have a good laugh and then wipe his arse with Fat Mike's complaint letter
I don’t know if you call it mental conditioning but every human has inherent tendencies. Training can help overcome those, but they’re still present and have the possibility of affecting the refs split-second decision to throw a flag or not.This year the most egregious thing I have ever seen was two games ago when a receiver who was near Brown fell on their own, and the ref reflexively threw a flag. After the paly ended he pulled the flag back and the head umpire announced there was no flag.
What all the fans and the league have to ask themselves about that particular play was how much is mental conditioning affecting these refs?
Brown has had some grabby moments, but he has not deserved all the calls made against him. To throw flags for PI or other major penalties in game winning drives should have some form of validation process.
We don't want to steal the instinct away from the refs, but you can't just have individuals behaving from reflex. There has to be thought and focus behind it.
That’s it dumb of a statement as the original . Yeah like he would be here.Goodell, is that you?
The original statement as well as the last one is sarcasm, take a Snickers and chill out.That’s it dumb of a statement as the original . Yeah like he would be here.
You seriously think that will solve the officiating problem?If the refs aren't employed full time and properly trained, this poor quality officiating will continue.
Yeah this is kind of how I feel. I've been a die hard fan for 40+ years. I lived and breathed sports. My whole life involved watching sports. NBA went first, I stopped watching in 2005 or so. When the ref gambling scandal happened or was publicized and I lost interest. I'm getting there with the NFL. It's just not as much fun. You know it's bad when a big play happens and the first thing the announcers say is "no flags". I don't get excited until I hear the "no flags" announcement. Now I'm not getting excited much anymore, just more relieved if we win but not enjoying the games. The NFL is the Tom Brady/Packers/Steelers/Patriots show. Everyone else in the league is just there to push those storylines.I quit watching football after week 4. Thus is my first time I logged into anything NFL related. The officiating keeps getting worse, especially since sports betting became legal. I had been a NFL die hard fan for 40 years. I dont know if the clearer resolution and new camera angles make it seem worse or if officiating has truly gotten worse. All I know is games are more infuriating and no longer fun to watch. Dam shame and it isn't surprising the younger generations appear to be tuning out the NFL.
Best of luck fellow consumers.
