To be an NFL Referee...
I swear I wish I could do something that would change the pathetic refereeing of all of the NFL games. I swear the calls get worse every year and to say "it's just a game" or "mistakes happen" would be one thing if this were Pop Warner Football and everyone was playing for FREE. But when a bad call can theroeticly effect MILLIONS of Dollars, Player's Careers and in some cases Citys to fall.
Good calls are far too important to be left to Part Time Employees. Department of Labor says this is all a guy has to do to qualify to be an NFL Ref. Quote:

Re: To be an NFL Referee...
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.

Re: To be an NFL Referee...
Yesterday was defintley poor officiating, and there are far too many games, Redskins and everyone else included, that are decided by bad officiating. I wouldnt say yesterday we would have won if it werent for them, but there were defintley questionable calls that could have changed the outcome. Its like that in alot of NFL games, and it shouldnt be.

That ref in particular needs to be fired. He was indecisive on many calls and needed too many conferences with his officials. He obviously wasn't a confident guy. I wish there were 16 Ed Hoculis. First off, with 16 Ed Hoculis you could have great officiating in every game. Secondly, with 16 Ed Hoculis, you could sack Troy, storm the beaches of Normandy, and successfully defend the Alamo all in one week. He's ripped. |

Re: To be an NFL Referee...
That was a joke of a performance on the refs' part. Honestly I can count 3 bad calls or lack of calls. Cooley was clearly interfered with, the ball in the endzone was a safety, and that TD called back on o-interference was complete bullshit! If I was Gibbs I would be getting fined through out the week for calling the refs out.

Re: To be an NFL Referee...
I think each team should get one additional challenge and make even penelties challange-able.
