That Unofficial NFL Thread

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

The week after the Super Bowl, they should get all the league's refs together, put them in a stadium, and give each of them a claw hammer.  They will be instructed that they are to fight until the last man standing.  That man and his family will be given an all-expenses paid trip to Disney World.  The losers and their families will be sold to Houthi rebels.

I don't think anything has really changed about officiating in the leagues history. Bad calls happen and that is unavoidable over time because each ref only has 2 eyes and several players at a time to keep track of. Unless they are going to go to video tape on every call, which would slow down the game and be impractical, this is always going to happen. Nobody likes bad calls, but if your team is playing well enough bad calls won't hurt you. I think it is far more important to play mistake free football and have balance and depth on all sides of the ball.

Actually, bad referee calls - in ANY sport - do indeed hurt you, regardless of how well you play. This is why they’re known as ‘bad calls.’
