Bert, the officiating of last night's game was atrocious, but calling the police on the incompetent referees would have been a bit of an overreaction.

NFL refs and Goodell are so fucking pathetic. They make up the rules as they go along.

They are also refusing to overturn PI on replay this year, even when it is obviously PI. Either because they are extremely stupid, or because they refuse to admit they made a mistake.

Yep. It's one thing to miss a PI in real time because of the speed. But to have time to really look at it and still fuck it up is maddening. I would have a hell of a lot more respect for the officials if they could admit they made a mistake. They say it has to be clear and obvious to overturn a call, well a lot of those are clear and obvious. Then they turn around and take a Colts interception away where it wasn't clear and obvious that the ball hit the ground.

I totally agree with the title of this thread.

It's a complete fucking travesty what they are doing. Yes, it is a giant flip of the bird to their boss who put them in this position- and he deserves it because he is a worthless fucking asshole, but at the end of the day the games are being significantly impacted by this bullshit- and it obviously cuts both ways given TY's bogus ass OPI the other night.

Fuck the refs and fuck Roger!

Agree on the TY OPI, I think the league should be forced to publish their reviews, EG make a statement on Monday as to why they overturned or failed to overturn a play.

What did they see in the interception that looked like it hit the ground. What did they see in the TY call that confirmed it was pass interference?

I don't necessarily care that the call is overturned or not so, but there should be some level of transparency whereby these professionals can justify their actions. Doing so will be an opportunity for the refs to explain and inform to fans, coaches and players what their expectations are, and what they saw that was contrary to those expectations.

The networks started doing this with Mike Pereira, and the nfl is missing the boat by not making an official statement about the who, what, when and where of calls. Their Ivory Tower attitude is not doing them any favors.

So the refs hate that their discretion is review-able, why?

And the refs just fucked the Lions over. These guys are clowns.

Fucked them over 3 times over.
