NFL officiating is horrible and costing teams

[Starstruck22]

Those claiming that since nothing can be perfect so why try and do better deserve to be tarred and feathered. just an excuse to DO NOTHING.
Those that think having a professional group of officals would make no difference; well idiots why are WE THE ONLY PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE IN THE WORLD WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL OFFICIALS? SO YOU are claiming everyone else is wrong and the NFL are right?
Bottom line is that clearly the NFL does not really care or they would be better. For all their BS the proof is in how no officials are EVER fired for multiple screwups.
NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

And many of the no calls and even calls are of an egregious nature. A BILLION DOLLAR industry where BILLION DOLLAR teams are prevented access to playoff or other wins is ludicrous!!!! Make the refs full time only and pay them what ever the cost. Goodall Gets 50 million a year and is totally incompetent. Give the commish 10 million and pay and train the refs with the 40 million. BILLIONS PEOPLE, BILLIONS.

If we lose tomorrow it will more likely be because we stunk/choked than the refs taking the game from us.

Lord, God, I hope so. That calls are terrible cannot be debated - the inequity and timing in which terrible calls are administered is the issue.

Holding is and will always be my biggest gripe about officiating. It’s ridiculous

I understand you can't call everything but it's ridiculous when they let it go on one side but not the other. Or let it slide til a pivotal moment. Or call it when it's much less clear than all the ones you didn't. Or call it when it was completely irrelevant to the play.

You need escalating penalties. Teams play the odds of what they can get away with.

The NFL calls itself a league but legally it’s sports “entertainment” dude. The refs hardly miss calls. They intentionally call or don’t call them. Whatever is best for entertaining the masses, just like Jerry and Maximus said: “Are you not entertained?” Parity has made it such that the officials can cost any team the game.

With officials staring at the offensive line at the start of the play with nothing else to do but stare at the line and missing illegal procedure is gross incompetence. It happens way too frequently. And there are NO consequences for gross incompetence. They probably get raises in the end.

Lol, line calls are primarily the responsibility of the umpire, that’s one person responsible for trying to follow 9 or more players on each individual play. Again, just using simple common sense a reasonably intelligent person can assume many plays are going to be missed. The only thing incompetent here are your silly post!

but it is interesting how many big plays from us ended up being called back or some mysterious penalty not called in 30 years gets called on us

Uh, huh! And yet fans of various teams across the league are making the same claims!

Another pre-emptive "it's the ref's fault" thread, in case the Cowboys lose.

and the ref's fault is in the lead
but dak's fault is making a big push
big mike is is trailing but expected to show late
ref's fault is faltering
noah stumbles
CD on a good pace
dak's fault is gaining
MOORE gaffs again
dak's fault is closing
ref's fault is pushing hard
DO YOU BELIEVE IN STUMBLES!
Dak's fault for the loss!
