The worst thing is that NFL refs are part timers. It is not like this is the 60's and the NFL is barely making money. Instead of having these guys work in the off season most of them have other jobs. The refs could be spending the off season watching video and and (gasp) getting in shape so they can keep up with the plays. I realize that they are human and make mistakes, I realize that we the fans have the benefit of TV and instant replay but the NFL needs to do more to put these guys in a postition to succeed.
