Officiating: This isn't your Grandpa's NFL...

Baseball...
You are talking about a sport who is so stuck in the the mudd.
That sport never changes unless and an act of Congress demands it.
That play that they missed is not even reviewable because baseball is afraid of the umpire's union much like they were afraid to test the players because of thier fear of the players union.

wow, you spent a long time saying nothing, should have been in Spanish.

that too, took like 7 minutes for refs to try to decide what to do and they still didnt know the rules. Now, Commissioner Goodell says that the refs are great and no problems with the officiating. How long as fans are we going to let Goodell get away with that?

I am telling you zoners, we are going to lose another game because of the blown refs calls and missing things while not knowing the rules.

for God's sake, get that other guy and go to New York and stand outside Goodell's office and scream at Werder or something.

I just think the problem is there's to many rules and most of the rules favor the offense. I would hate to play on the defense, would seem like your always walking on egg shells hoping not to get a flag for some bullcrap reason.

i have been trying to tell some zoners they dont know the rules

did you see a Commanders wr move the football after a ref put downthe football and the ref missed the Commander moving the football for a first down trickblue?

thats dumb on the refs, and we all saw how the League office had to call in and tell the refs on the play that campbell ran out of bounds and threw the football. Like wade said, if the qb throws the football to get out of a sack etc, he has to throw the football past the line of scrimmage or a penalty. The league office missed that call too.

Yet, some zoners say you shouldnt fine the refs, suspend them or fire them, but i guess its ok if these refs make 100,000 to 200,000 a year, and no one wants to hold them accountable, i guess we as fans have ourselves to blame for allowing this to go on.

Even some announcers have said the past 2 weeks on ref calls have been horrible, not just in dallas.

its called the shift key......
