It does make it harder on the refs. A big part of the problem is that different refs enforce rules differently. Take the rule about not hitting a defenseless WR. Does that include after he catches the ball? Clearly some refs think so, others do not. The rule book in the NFL is like the tax code. It's all over the place and very hard to keep track of, and it shows during the games.

College football does it every week.....no problems and very fast.Sky Judge is dumb.
I don't see how you can have "sky judge" review a play, because they're probably going to find a penalty on each time. It's stupid to me for them to review, say, Pass Interference, but not at the same time review the OL to make sure there was no holding.
Just call less
The NFL doesn't need any more rules except expanding the rosters

This is a good quote from John Harbaugh.
“Look how tough it is for these officials, all right. I know as a coach, what’s the worst spot to watch the game from? Sideline. You see the least amount form the sideline. That’s why you put coaches in the box,” Harbaugh said. “OK. So we’ve got all this technology and the fans actually have a better view of the game from an officiating standpoint than the officials do"
So I wish the "officials hate us" and "we wuz robbed" crowds would understand that there's no way officials can see everything that goes on to flag it and that every missed call isn't some deep-seated bias from a childhood Buffalo Bills fan still bitter about getting beat twice by us back in the 90's.
Well if all penalties were caught and flagged, even accurately, the game would be a disaster as it almost is now with all the calls. Need to remove alot of penalties from the books and let the players play the game. NFL needs to stop trying to trivialize the game, make football great againas long as the penalties called or not called are accurate who cares
They should do something. Some of these call and non calls are costing teams games. Sometimes the refs let the players play and sometimes they call everything. Consistence would be nice.
You seem to feel like it’s your life’s mission to defend the refs at every step. Are you married to one or what?
An equally important aspect of Harbaughs quote is that due to current circumstances, referees often make bad calls. But you go into a diatribe whenever somebody calls out those bad calls too.
Of all potential rule changes, that would be the worst.Still waiting on FGs....

I am so tired of hearing about the Rams NO non call when no one mentions that horrible BAD call in the Chiefs NE game, when a DL's fingers grazed Bradys shoulder pad over a blocker and got called for roughing. That wasnt a missed call that was an irresponsible horrible made call, that shouldnt have been made, yet I havent heard one person bring it up againIn no sport but the NFL do players, fans, coaches and general managers annually debate the rules of the game, advocating ways to make pro football better, safer, fairer.
Officiating is especially a hot topic around the league after a blown call late in the NFC championship game pretty much cost the New Orleans Saints a trip to the Super Bowl.
That capped a season that began with the long-awaited clarification of what constitutes a catch and then was marred by widespread confusion over what exactly is a legal takedown of the quarterback.
While defenders learned new ways to tackle to avoid flags for even glancing blows to the helmet, they complained about O-linemen illegally blocking too far downfield in the run-pass option craze that has successfully seeped in from the college game.
Giants owner John Mara hears the cries to change the NFL’s replay review system after officials failed to flag the blatant pass interference penalty and a helmet-first hit by the Rams’ Nickell Robey-Coleman deep in Los Angeles territory in the NFC championship match. The non-calls helped Los Angeles force overtime and eventually win the game to reach the Super Bowl, leading to widespread displeasure with the current system regarding coaches’ challenges.
