Maybe the refs should be fined

Not only fined but publicly shown their mistake for all to see

It's ridiculous what the league is doing. The refs are there to make sure that the player's are playing by the rules. But the refs are failing miserably at their job with no consequences. If the league isn't going to do something then they should expect to hear criticism. If I do poorly at my job, I get criticized. If an NFL player or coach does their job poorly, they get benched or even fired and they get criticized constantly. But if an NFL ref does their job poorly, nothing can be said? And if you do say something, then you get fined? Bullshit!! I think that all of the player's making $1 million per game or more on every single team should speak out every week. A $12,500 fine is a drop in the bucket when you're making $1million plus per game. Just give a big FU to the league and go on. Those player's wouldn't miss it.

officiating accountability will be part of the CBA 2020 negotiations

The guy who started the whole kneeling thing also turned down 2 contracts because he thinks he should be getting starter moneyeven though he sucked.

In the eyes of the league they probably are ‘doing their job’ of keeping games close/protecting their cash cows (Brady), which is why the league don’t allow them to take accountability (I hate it, I’m just calling it like I see it).

It’ll go in the CBA negotiation but then do the league just say ‘we believe the call was correct’ and it carries on?

Only upside is we have the new face of the NFL. Interestingly the other day NFLUK tweeted their jersey sales and Patrick is the top selling jersey here above Brady.

No it wont...they have that rating$-generating $hit locked down harder than a North Korea PR tour.

Coaches, GMs and players are restricted from saying anything...and even the officials have to sign a gag order before being allowed to call games.

That sure is a lot of internal protection for something as innocent as calling fouls.

The officiating seems to be a problem every season, but it really has been sh** this season in particular. Like really, really bad. Almost every game I watch.

Maybe don’t put the refs on tv when they mKe the call. They probably just love being front and center on tv during the game. Probably view themselves S some sort of key part of the game, or celebrity.


At this point with all the technology, do we really need to fucking huddle up each time there’s a penalty And have a long drawn out conference on a penalty.
